Why There are Less Miracles in the USA

Why There Are Less Miracles in the USA

The reason is simple: Lack of honor for the Holy Spirit.

Many of the Pharisees dishonered Jesus, and Jesus did not do hardly any miracles for them.  What is a Modern-Day Pharisee?

First of all, let me reveal a few things about the Pharisees in the days of Jesus. Then we can see why miracles are not flowing in the United States like they are in some other countries. Notice the following scripture, especially Luke 7:30:Luk 7:28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

Luk 7:29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

Luk 7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

Please notice that the Pharisees and lawyers were not baptized by John. Why? John was in the lineage for the high priesthood, being son of Zacharias, however, John was not in the temple wearing the fancy priestly garb, and doing the normal priestly duties in the temple. Instead, he was in the wilderness, dressed in camel hair and a leather belt. John did not fit the normal mode. Also, he was telling them that they needed to be baptized. There was nothing in the law concerning baptism for the Israelites, but baptism was only for the foreigners that wanted to become Jewish. The fact that John was teaching baptism was an insult to the Pharisees, being undoctinal.

Luk 7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

Luk 7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

Basically, Jesus is saying here that the people of that generation had a critical spirit, finding opposite faults in John and Jesus. Consider the following scriptures, where John called the Pharisees and Sadducees "vipers" in Matthew, and called the multitudes "vipers" in Luke:Mat 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Luk 3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

What? Notice that John called them "vipers". If this had happened in America, what would we think of John? Would we have been baptized by him? I would say probably not. How much more in that he was baptizing, which was something new that was not in the law? These things were considered insulting, and baptizing Israelites was contrary to the law. The following scriptures confirm that John was questioned on the baptizing issue:Joh 1:19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

Joh 1:20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

Joh 1:21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

Joh 1:22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

Joh 1:23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

Joh 1:24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

Joh 1:25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

Joh 1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

Joh 1:27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

Joh 1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Would we in America receive ministry from an insulting prophet whose doctrine seemed to us unscriptural? I think not. We would have missed out on the new move of God.

Jesus had a similar ministry of offense. In John 6, Jesus had a huge crowd that followed Him, from Jerusalem to Tiberias, to Capernaum. He fed this multitude supernaturally in Tiberias. Now, they followed Him to Capernaum. Most preachers would have preached a nice rosy little sermon on the mount type thing and taken up an offering. But instead, Jesus preached, "unless you eat of my flesh, and drink of my blood . ." Joh 6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

Joh 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

Joh 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

Joh 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

Joh 6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

This critical spirit had to be delt with even in the twelve disciples: Mar 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

Mar 9:39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

Mar 9:40 For he that is not against us is on our part.

When the Samaritans did not receive Jesus because He was en route to Jerusalem, James and John wanted to call down fire on them. John was supposed to be the disciple of love.Luk 9:52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

Luk 9:53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

Luk 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

Luk 9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

Luk 9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

When we speak evil of a brother, especially a Holy Spirit filled brother, we are in a wrong spirit. This can sometimes be a spirit of jealosy, which is linked to the spirit of murder. We may not actually kill the man, but we may be operating in a similar spirit when we speak against others. Notice below that the devil is referred to as "the accuser of our brethren": Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

God has given us a ministry of restoration, rather than condemnation. Too often we are ready to write somebody off that is found in sin. Consider what Jesus said to the woman that was caught in the very act of adultery:Joh 8:11 . . . . . . , Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

If we had lived in the time of John the Baptist, would we have received his testimony/preaching? Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Words are important. Words reveal what is in our heart. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.Mat 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Mat 18:7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! Mat 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

Mat 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Notice that Michael the archangel does not even directly rebuke the devil: Jud 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Jud 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

Jud 1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

Let’s delve into the above scripture a little deeper and talk of Cain, Balaam and Korah:

The Way of Cain

Gen 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

Cain was guilty of not recognizing the blood sacrifice. Cain and Abel both worshiped God, but Cain did it his own way. How does this relate to Christians today?

I could pick on many denominations, but lets start with the obvious: Pentecostals tend to depend on self righteousness, i.e. shaving facial hair, dress codes, long hair on women, etc., but yet there is usually a little higher level of certain sins such as fornication and gossip and slander than in some other denominations, killing their brother with the tongue. Likewise, other denominational people have a form of godliness, and rely on their own good works of witnessing or just going to church or whatever, and often times slander the Benny Hinns, wether for jealousy, unbelief, or whatever. Sometimes they put down other Christians that may not be living right, or who believe different than what they do. These people are like Cain, who depend on their own righteousness, not fully recognizing the blood sacrifice of Jesus. These people would kill their brother, striking with their tongue, falling under the influence of the ‘Accuser of the Brethren’ who lieth at their door. The main thing is recognizing what Jesus did for us as He took the stripes for our healing, and died for our sins. Failing to recognize the power of the Blood of Jesus can hinder God’s love and the anointing from working in and through us. Acknowledging the power in the blood keeps us out of the law and in the love and grace of God. Law hinders grace from working.

The Error of Balaam

The story of Balaam starts at Numbers, chapters 22 through 24. The text tells us that Balaam had his eye on money. Balaam could have been the first major gentile prophet. Words are important. God sent an angel to kill him, rather than to have him speak against the children of Israel. Balaam seemed to repent, but his heart was not right. Later in the text, (Num. 31:16, 2 Pet. 2:15 and Rev. 2:14), we find out that Balaam later taught the Midianite women to seduce Israel into sin. Modern day Christians sometimes walk a little bit toward this line. Let me give examples:

There are evangelists that will only go to a meeting if they are guaranteed a certain amount of money. Jesus said that whoever shall be greatest among you shall be servant of all, however, many pastors seem to get this turned around, beating the congregation into giving all their tithes, and being careful to maintain their own position of authority. Ministry can become a circle of raising money for more ministry, to raise money for more ministry. Others prostitute their gifts, wether it be of music or whatever, and turn the foyer into a store with books and CD’s and the like. Likewise, the money changers in the temple probably rationalized and said, "But we are providing a service! They need to buy doves to sacrifice, and to change their money!" Although the Bible tells us that the workman is worthy of his wages, the danger comes when they speak against others that might get in ‘their territory’. Also, there is a danger when they water down the word so as not to offend, in order to maintain their income. Many preachers will cater to the people, rather than let the Holy Spirit move, looking at the offering plate, trying to merely keep the numbers up. Some preachers will avoid letting others minister, out of concern for their job, in that somebody else could do it better and take their position. Where would these brothers be if not for the manifold grace and patience of God and the blood of Jesus to cover their iniquities? Unfortunately, however, the anointing is hindered, and the Holy Spirit cannot work freely.

The Gainsaying of Core (Korah)

The wordgainsayingfrom Jude 11 (KJV) is interpreted as ‘contradiction’, ‘gainsaying’, ‘strife’, and the derivitive of the word means ‘dispute’, ‘disobedience’. Looking at scripture, Korah’s rebellion once again seems to be a self-exultation against authority. The ground swallowed him up and he and all his were no more. My desire it to be separate from anyone with this attitude, that I don’t get sucked down with the rest of them.

Chapter 16 in Numbers shows us that Korah took other men with him, and told Moses, Num 16:3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD? The scripture goes on to say that they challenged Moses’ authority, and sought the priesthood also. Num 16:15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them. Korah gathered the congregation against Moses, but we know what the end was. Likewise, there are some today who wag their tongues against an anointed man of God, in an effort to exalt themselves or promote their own ministry, or sometimes in plain unbelief.

Please notice that Korah’s rebellion was NOT that he called fish down from heaven to feed a hungry tribe, or that he did some miracle. No, throughout the whole Bible, the sin is challenging the authority of a man of God, (or God Himself, or the Holy Spirit). It was the wish of Moses that ALL would prophesy. When two men were prophesying in the camp, that had not come to the tabernacle with the seventy, Joshua said in Num 11:28 . . . My lord Moses, forbid them. Num 11:29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them! I can’t find anywhere in the Bible that doing a miracle through the name (authority) of Jesus is wrong. However, challenging the authority of a man of God always has bad consequences, and this type of sin is a hinderance to the anointing working in and through your life.

Let me repeat these scriptures from Jude:  Let them sink in:

Jude 9-11 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

The Error of Joab

Joab was the commander of David’s army, although he was not listed as one of the thirty mighty men, no, not in 2 Sam 23 or in 1 Chron 11. His younger brother Asahel was listed, as well as Joab’s armourbearer, as well as Uriah the Hittite. What kept Joab from being written down as one of the thirty? This ties in with Cain, Balaam, and Korah, in that being jealous for position, money and authority, he slew two men more righteous than him, (Abner the son of Ner and Amasa). Joab also disobeyed the King’s orders. Likewise, many Christians today speak ‘raca’ and are in danger of hellfire, murdering with their tongue, when somebody else seems to be more gifted than they are, (or, conversely, not at far along as they are). Quoting Fred Bishop, "If he don’t love Jesus as much as me he needs to get saved. If he love Jesus more than me, he’s a fanatic." LOL

Words are important. Ellymus the Sorcerer did not ask to be blind for a season, neither did Ananias and Saphira ask to die, or the kids that taunted Elisha, or the two captains with their 50's when Elijah called down fire, etc.. etc.

If you want a serious anointing, you must learn to control your tongue. Words can hurt, and even kill. Consider what Paul wrote:

2Co 13:10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

Miriam and Aaron

Miriam and Aaron had spoken against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman that he had married. Num 12:2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it. Miriam was shut off from the camp for 7 days with leprosy, because of her sin of speaking against Moses. This reminds me of when somebody was offended that I prayed for people that he had already prayed for. He said, "I have the gift of healing too." If he had the gift of healing, there would not have been a need for me to pray the second time. (People can see occasional healings by the power of the Holy Spirit, the power of prayer and the power in the Word of God and the name of Jesus, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they have the ‘gift’ of healing.) Uh oh!  Do you see what I just did?  I just cut down the man of God that cut me down, falling into the same condemnation, fulfilling Rom 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

Space does not permit to speak of ‘Uzziah’ or ‘Joseph’s brothers’, or many other examples. Briefly, King Saul was one that was jealous for position and authority. He was more concerned about what the people thought about him, and wanted Samual to honor him before the people. Likewise, some are more worried about pleasing the pastors or the people so that they make sure that they can come back to minister again.

The sin of offence

First of all: the people from Jesus’ home town were the same ones that were offended. They knew Him before He was baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost. They failed to recognize the anointing, and more importantly, the Deity in Him, and were offended. Mat 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

Mat 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

Mat 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. The ones that were offended were the ones that did not receive their healing. And so it is today, the few that complain saying, "Who does this guy think he is?" are the same ones that do not get healed. The scripture goes on to say,Mat 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Notice the word "unbelief". They did not recognize Jesus as the Christ. This in itself is not so bad if they are open to the truth. However, notice verse 57 says, "And they were offended in him."

I wonder: Is this where America is today, having taken prayer out of the schools, legalized abortions and same-sex marriages? Is America offended at Jesus? Most healing evangelists will agree that there is a definate difference in the amount of miracles in the United States as opposed to many other nations.

Consider Honduras, where you can walk into any crowded mall and often hear Christian music playing on the public speakers. In America this might be considered ‘politically incorrect’. Even many of the most dangerous gang members in Honduras will not rob a man of God or a missionary, and, the only way you can leave the gang is if you truly become a Christian.

Why There Are Less Miracles in the USA

The reason is simple: Lack of honor for the Holy Spirit. Contrary to popular opinion, it has nothing to do with Job, the lame man at Gate Beautiful, Paul’s thorn, the pool of Bethesda, Lazarus, or any of those other scriptures that you can think of that the devil has twisted, (See the link: Healing Teaching). It is ALL about honor (or the lack thereof) for the Holy Spririt. There is much scripture to back this up. Let’s start with the two main commandments:Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment.

Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. This sums it all up. This is what separates law from grace. If we do, say and think all the right things because we LOVE GOD and DO NOT WANT to OFFEND GOD, then we are on the right track, otherwise, it is legalism.

Conversely, what is the worst thing that we can do? Blaspheming the Holy Spirit.Mat 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Mat 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. The parallel text in Mark goes on to say: Mar 3:30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit. Jesus said this because the Pharisees had said, "This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils." (Matt 12:24) The parallel scripture is found in Mark 3:28-29, and 3:22.

Please notice that Jesus did few miracles for the Pharisees. Jesus healed all. Jesus healed all the multitudes. Jesus healed all that asked sincerely. Jesus even healed some that did not ask. Jesus even healed some that did not even know who He was. However, He did not do a miracle for the Pharisees just to prove that He was who He said He was. The Pharisees questioned His authority. The Pharisees were offended at Him. The Pharisees plotted to kill Him. Jesus did not do any miracles for the Pharisees, (except the ones that happened to be present when he worked miracles for those that really asked in faith).

Unfortunately, when a Christian falls into the ‘accuser of the brethren’ spirit, and calls his brother ‘raca’, it is possible that he may fall away, or it may inhibit growth in God. The man may continue to operate in the anointing that the Lord gave him, but future growth is impeded, or at least diminished somewhat. I hope I never fall into this category.

Notice how King Saul treats young David, and vice a versa. The anointing is to be respected. The anointing is the Holy Spirit.

The Pharisees and the people in Jesus’s home town area represent two different people groups that were both offended. However, the Pharisees went a step further to plot to kill Jesus. Notice that Jesus did no miracles for the Pharisees, but there were some miracles done among the people of His home town. I believe that America falls in the latter category, in that miracles do happen, but not like other countries.

Often pastors will cater to the ones that are offended at the anointing, and I think that this is often a mistake. Other pastors could care less about miracles, or soverign works of the Holy Spirit. Everybody in one church can get healed, but the church down the road does not care. Some pastors are too busy looking for devils. The Bible plainly tells us how to test the spirits, (1 John 2:22, 4:2 & 5:1).

In many churches, the power gifts are not honored, but helps and adiministration gifts are, which sometimes leaves the Holy Spirit outside the church. In some churches, the title 'healing evangelist' carries a dirty connotation. In other churches, the man of God may not be welcomed because he has facial hair; and as stupid as this may sound, I have actually encountered this. Rules often restrict the man of God from ministering, unless he is 'ordained' through their particular denomination, etc. Consider Matt 10:40.

40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me .

The people that think I’m nuts often will not get healed. They don’t have to say it. All they have to do is think it, because the Lord knows our thoughts. Jesus summed it up in this scripture: Mat 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

Mat 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Let’s look briefly at some of the different ones that were offended at or disrespected Jesus, or God, or the man of God, and let’s see what happened to them in the New Testament:

The Pharisees and Jews: Some got saved, but the gospel went out to the gentiles and the eyes of the Jews were spiritually blinded (Ro 11:25).

King Herod: Killed James with the sword and jailed Peter. He was ate up with worms and died, not giving God glory (Acts 12).

Annanias and Saphira: They were not even saved, and were using the church to sell their land. How do I know this? The book of Acts describes who people were, or what background they were from. If a person is a disciple or a believer, the book of Acts will tell you in some fashion or form. Usually, the book of Acts tells you up front, ‘there was a disciple named . . . .’ However Annanias and Saphira were not named as any such disciples, believers, Christians or whatever. They died (Acts 5).

Elymus the sorcerer: Withstood the faith and tried to keep the Deputy from getting saved. He was struck with blindness for a season (Acts 13:5-11).

Lets go to the Old Testament:

We already discussed Cain, Balaam, Korah, Joab and Miriam and Aaron.

The first two captains with their fifties were burned up with fire. The third captain humbled himself before Elijah, the man of God (2 Ki 1:14).

Two bears came out of the woods to maul the kids that taunted Elisha, the man of God (2 Ki 2:23-24).

The man that was trampled in the gate disrespected Isaisas, the man of God, and the word that he spoke (2 Ki 7:19-20).

The children of Israel murmured and complained, failed to believe God’s word, and had to wander in the desert for 40 years (Numbers 14).

Judgement on the men of Anathoth that sought Jeremiah’s life (Jer 11:22)

Ahab, Jezebel, and kings and false prophets who withstood the word of God spoken through the prophets either came to early deaths or had sicknesses immediately come upon them.

This list could go on and on. I know that we are under grace and have a mediator that we did not have in the Old Testament and in the days of Job. However there is a different attitude of honor and respect for God and the man of God that is often not found in the USA.

There is a critical attitude that many Christian Americans today have toward others that can be summed up like this with a quote from our beloved Fred Bishop of NGL: "If he don’t love God as much as me, he needs to get saved. If he loves God more than me he’s a fanatic." Haw! LOL.  You must realize, that I myself am guilty also.  In judging others of having a pharisitical or critical spirit, I myself have fallen into the same condemnation, for Romans 2:1 says that those that judge others are guilty of the same things.  In doing this, I myself am guilty of unbelief, attempting to disqualify those in America of being worthy to receive healings and miracles, and I myself am failing to recognize the power in the blood of Jesus to cover our sins and iniquities, falling into the error of Cain.  God help us all.

John Bevere has written a book on this subject entitled "Honor’s Reward", and I highly recommend it to anybody who wants to see this basic principle more clearly. John brings out many wonderful points about people that received their miracles, such as the Syrophonecian woman (Mark 7:26) who was called a dog but yet humbled herself before Jesus, or Hannah who was accused of being drunk by Eli, (1 Sam 1)but yet she maintained her spirit of humility. Had these examples happened in America, these women would probably have been offended, and gone away speaking bad about the man of God, missing out on their miracles. In America, they might have said, "What kind of prophet is he, calling me a drunk, (or a dog). He’s no man of God."

How does Jesus feel about people who are in bondage to sickness or disease? One answer is found in Luke:

Luke 13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? Notice that this woman had been bound for a long time, and the Pharisees never did heal her, but because Jesus healed her on the sabath . . . .

Jesus healed for many reasons, one being his compassion for the people.

Is there people in your church that need healing? Let God move. I’m not scared to come and pray. I guarantee that there will be instant healings.

It is the Lord’s desire to heal everybody!!! Does this seem undoctrinal to you? Is this offensive to you? I can show you a dozen scriptures where Jesus healed ALL. Let us all just turn away from our pharisitical mindsets and just believe. We have what the Pharisees did not have; a belief in Jesus Christ as Lord. Let’s be open for what the Holy Spirit might be trying to do, and let’s not miss out on the next big move of God, Amen?
