You can not walk in a room that does not have needs in it anywhere. there world is full of christians who are sick for lack of knowledge. Like james said. and apart from that there is a whole lost world out there. so can you show me any where where there is no "need"
I asked the question how do you all know healing is not your gift and no takers as yet.
We are to take the good news /kingdom to a needy world. How much clearer could this be
Hello Sword.........With a Father as powerful as ours, I do understand where you are coming from, as in when Jesus tells His disciples that they will do even greater things than they have seen Him do.
People may not want to share such things in a place like this, considering how most others treat anyone, who has had times with The Lord outside the Bible. I have seen personally The Lord do amazing things, which I did write a little about a week or so ago, but as I had thought, there were no comments to it, many don't know what to say to those things, and it's not like I have videos to prove what I have shared. I had always thought that The Holy Spirit should be a witness inside those who 'have' Him, if or when they hear Truth, like Elizabeth said that her baby ( John the Baptist ) leapt in her womb for joy, when she saw Mary ( Jesus' mother ). But that doesn't seem to be the case too often....
Personally I am not even certain a site like this is for sharing much truth from the Lord....Face to face with a person profits more in my experiences.
If you are at all interested I will just share two little things in which The Lord corrected me over some time, in relation to some of what you wrote........
1)........We use the word 'Command' in our armies, police etc. and we mean it as a 'DEMAND'. He showed me that with Him, it does not mean 'demand'...He does not demand anything of us. He has given us the Truth, and it's up to us whether we follow those commands/directives .
2)........ He said that when we quote God as saying :" My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge." that is not quite correct either....He said it should be understood as " My people are destroyed for the lack of "KNOWING".
Don't know if any of that is of use to you? As far as healing, if you do have that as a gift, then you should certainly go about doing it. I believe there is a very good reason Jesus told us to :" Ask, seek and knock", because if all we ever had to do was to sit and wait for the Lord to take us by the hand and tell us where to go and what to do ALL the time, His instruction to do the above would be an irrelevant statement, and as far as all I have got to know about Him so far, He would never give us an irrelevant directive.
I have had Him lead me to pray for and to do for others, but I have also had times where I have asked Him, to do something, either for me or for someone else, and He did not let me or them down ( obviously I do not know if He is the one instigating the thoughts I think are mine, when I ask Him to help someone ).
One thing is for sure. No power can come if we are at odds with one another, fighting, 'biting and devouring' one another, as Paul puts it somewhere......
All the best Pia :)
