    how to have answered prayer

    I used to follow the late evangelist RW Schambach and especially tune in Saturday night to listen in to all those wonderful testimonies of healing. Knowing his hour was drawing near I sent prayer cloths to him asking him to prayer for them. I got them back in the mail a week later with oil...

    Spirituality and the Three Little Pigs

    I was brought up in many different denominations and this is in no wise hinting that you need some spiritual gift to be considered spirit filled. I have met fine and terrible people in each denomination. Spirituality and the Three Little Pigs… Scripture - Whosoever heareth these sayings of...

    Mentality Without Spirituality

    In my younger years I would have promoted the Pentecostal Holiness church as most superior... And then my generation came along. Now I consider our church just as bad as everyone else. All within the same doctrinal thought. Nothing has changed doctrinally. Everything has changed spiritually. In...

    Mentality Without Spirituality

    The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. - Galatians 5 To me it has been amazing to see the fruits of the Spirit alive in one generation... And very much something else in the next. The fruits of...

    Mentality Without Spirituality

    I came into a church very much like the one George Clark Rankin described. It was soulfully amazing for me to see the revival dissipate away like it did the Methodist before me.

    Mentality Without Spirituality

    Needing help to come through spiritually... After we went home I tossed on the bed before going to sleep and wondered why God did not do for me what he had done for mother and what he was doing in that meeting for those young people at the altar. I could not understand it. But I resolved to keep...

The first thing he did was to disarm me, and that ended my pistol-toting. I have never had one about my person or home to this good day. And I never...

    The dry denominational church... "Grandfather was kind to me and considerate of me, yet he was strict with me. I worked along with him in the field when the weather was agreeable and when it was inclement I helped him in his hatter's shop, for the Civil War was in progress and he had returned at...

    Mentality Without Spirituality

    I came into a Pentecostal Holiness church that was in revival and the product was good people and a good church. With my generation it was something totally different... All within the same denomination. After studying it became clear to me that the quality of revival was a generational thing...

    Mentality Without Spirituality

    Just because you know doctrine does not mean anything from a spiritual standpoint. I have seen wonderful and terrible people come out of the same frame of mind.
