This man will stretch you. He has me. He has a missionary work in Mexico with over 300,000 Indians. The are now bringing the Gospel to Islamic nations in the Middle East, the Pacific Rim and Africa just as Matthew 10:7-8 says to.

Sorry .... I watched 18 minutes of this guy .... and all I heard is him talking about himself.

Sorry .... I read Mathew 10 .... and it is talking about the 12 Apostles

Sorry .... I read Acts 19 and it is about Paul doing extraordinary miracles

His whole point is to tell what he has seen and done to encourage people that they can do the same things.

Mark 16:17-18

New King James Version (NKJV)
[sup]17 [/sup]And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; [sup]18 [/sup]they[sup][a][/sup] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.
This says those who believe will do these things. I assume you believe.
John 14:12
New King James Version (NKJV)
[sup]12 [/sup]“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
Others besides the apostles did these things:|
Acts 6:8

New King James Version (NKJV)
[sup]8 [/sup]And Stephen, full of faith[sup][a][/sup] and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

Acts 8:6

New King James Version (NKJV)

[sup]6 [/sup]And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

And my whole point is that there are a lot of "preachers" like him brainwashing a lot of people convincing them "they can do the same thing"

Yet never once do they provide credible evidence to back up the claims. . It is all just talk.

I am not trying to be critical .... I dislike taking the negative stand .... I feel there are many good and decent Christians within these groups ..... but listen carefully to the sermons (as I have for years) .... the speaker portrays having some kind of special anointing and like to talk a lot about it .... yet actually accomplish zero.

A true miracle worker or healer in modern day would be surrounded and sought after by millions of people .... he would not need to be "selling his wares" in church buildings or on youtube.

I hate to find fault with anyone .... but I also hate to see good and decent people get suckered .

Best wishes.

I understand you point of view. I know this man and his adult married children. They have all been in our home several times and brother I have been to his work in Mexico and He has been to our home to preach for us 3 times. Our oldest son's father in law worked with his ministry in Guatemala and Mexico for 15 years then moved to Oaxaca state, Mexico to start a new work. They go to the Indians in remote mountain villages where no gospel has been. They often drive for hours on dirt roads and then have to hike several hours to some of the villages. They risk their lives nearly every time they go into Mexico because it is nearly lawless and they will murder any American they can to steal the vehicle and anything else of value.
The Indians are not receptive at first and want nothing to do with "missionaries". If the Jesus they bring them is not as powerful as the occult gods they serve they may beat them or even try to murder them. Often they go to these villages and ask if there are any sick or seriously injured and tell them Jesus will heal them. They often allow them to pray for these and Jesus heals them. The families that experienced the healings usually get born again which gives them a "house church" in that village. The gospel takes off from there. They have over 300,000 Indians in several 1000 small fellowships in the mountains.
They are now going into Muslim nations in the Middle East and Africa and doing what Matthew 10:7-8 says in the mostly remote areas.
In one area of the work the Indian elders/pastors made it a requirement to have raised the dead at least once to hold that office.
