I was just now thinking, as I was laughing, down through the years God Our Father has made me laugh so much in Restaurants & Airplanes & Walking...ff

[PloughBoy]

in parks or just sitting around, The Word of GOD comes to My Mind and it "illuminates" something He wants me to see, And He knows, it is going to make me laugh. That is one of the reasons He did it. So many things He does for us, on a personally level.


American Standard Version
And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.

We are special, more special, than all those who walks the earth.

6“I have revealed you a to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 10All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of b your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by c that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
13“I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17Sanctify them by d the truth; your word is truth. 18As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.

20“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
24“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25“Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26I have made you e known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

Here is a example. of what I mean.

Now, Moses did not know that God was going to turn his Staff into "SNAKE" a Big One! A"VIPER". now watch , when this Old man, this Eighty years old man, Sees this Snake. "feet do not fail me now" Now God knew what "Moses" was going to do when he sees this Big "Snake" Now, watch his feet!

Exodus 4 KJV
2And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. 3And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a "SERPENT" and Moses {TOOK OFF} fled from before it. A 80 year old man, He Took off, He knew that Serpents are "QUICK"
[Like God was going to let the Viper bite him]

The Lord played that in My Mind a long time ago, And I Burst out Laughing in a Restaurant, and everybody look at me, I had it open to that page, and the waitress walked over to me and said, what are you reading, and I showed her my Bible, and she, You mean, you are reading something in the Bible, making you Laugh like that!, I said yes. and she smiled,

God Can make you laugh and he can make you cry, he can make you sad and he can make you glad. No matter where you are at and what you are going through.

"Is there anything, too hard For God to do"?

Greetings,

i didn't realize you were a fan and supporter and promoter of 'pastor' Steven Furtick.

Full of surprises.
----------

I was reading something and thought that you could have written it... [sounds so similar... ]...

"... The only means by which you will begin to discern the true from the false will be to study the Scriptures routinely. The beautiful thing is that you don’t need the Greek to understand when a teacher has uttered blasphemies. It would be worthwhile if you learned Greek and Hebrew at one point, but it is not entirely necessary for you to discern truth from error. Simply take the time to read the Scriptures, book by book and verse by verse, and then read through them again, and again, and again. Seek Him by prayer and through the aide of the Holy Spirit, and you will undoubtedly begin to see... "*

and again,

" One of the best tools a pastor has at his disposal are the biblical languages. The Reformers highly prized the languages, for in them, they grammatically traced the doctrines of the Reformation back to the Early Church. In fact, the biblical languages were so important to Martin Luther that he wrote, “In proportion then as we value the gospel, let us zealously hold to the languages… We will not long preserve the gospel without the languages. The languages are the sheath in which this sword of the Spirit is contained; they are the casket in which this jewel is enshrined; they are the vessel in which this wine is held; they are the larder in which this food is stored; and, as the gospel itself points out, they are the baskets in which are kept these loaves and fishes and fragments.” "*


thank you for reading.

where did it come from?

same page as this...

"For the one following Steven Furtick – flee. Flee from him as fast as you can and surround yourself with those who preach sound doctrine."*

and

" I write to the fan of Steven Furtick. Flee from him, lest your soul also be ensnared to hell. He is not a sound teacher. "*

oh, in case you are unaware, said Furtick is the man behind the elevation group in the video you posted.

thought to let you know in case you did not realise.

If you did, i am rather surprised you would promote such as that?

-------------------------

What I am not doing in writing this is making a judgment of Steven Furtick’s status before God because that is certainly not my place. What I am unapologetically doing is encouraging you to quit listening to him. I am encouraging you to walk away, ignore, and not to give him your endorsement. Even if these are all mistakes or accidents and we are being extremely charitable, ask yourself, “Why would I invest my time, energy, and attention in a teacher who is not rightly handling the Word of God and teaching me what it says?”^

After all, Steven Furtick is an excellent communicator. He’s built a church empire with his “feel good” preaching, attractive worship, and excellent packaging. He even has a degree from my alma mater—The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. By most people’s standards, Furtick is a major success. ^


Bless you ....><<>

Steven Furtick Is The Most Dangerous Kind Of False Teacher

I do believe Steven Furtick is genuine, meaning that he legitimately believes he is doing well by his people – but of particular importance to note is that genuineness is not a biblical qualification for an elder. It is this flavor of “helpfulness” that makes him all the more dangerous to the sheep.
