I'm intruding into your's and S Spencer's discussion:
I BELIEVE Jesus (first coming in the flesh) and his apostles were given power to perform miracles that could be seen in the flesh. Raising the dead, making the blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walk.
FIRST the natural (seen), then (second) the SPIRITUAL (unseen):
I BELIEVE Jesus (the second coming in the HOLY SPIRIT) in his SAINTS, are given this same power; but the Spirit performing these miracles through the labour of his SAINTS, CANNOT be seen. Raising the dead (in trespasses and making them alive in Christ, making the blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walk.
Same POWER, SAME MIRACLE, one can be seen (in flesh), the other can't be seen (in Spirit).
Food for thought, the Spirit reveals.
We are all aware of what's going on, we don't need to hear it again. How do you stop such a force that's meant to be? Have you organized to squash these ills where you live? Writing about history is easy, making history takes guts.
Your statement on John 14:12 was perfect, Amen!
Verily, verily, I say unto you, and any time we see the words "verily, verily, it means establishment of a spiritual truth. He that believeth on me, literally INTO ME, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
The term "greater," because there's many different views as to what greater means, and a lot of people want it mean greater works in that you will do more than what Jesus did. It is called the genitive of quantity, not genitive of quality because there is no such thing. It is called the genitive of quantity.
In other words, more greater works in the sense of there will be more of them because God at that time was limited and located in the person of Jesus Christ, but when Jesus leaves and sends His Spirit, His Spirit will now indwell all of His people.
And Jesus will be working through His people, thousands, millions of them all over the world, genitive of quantity.
Those who attack Israel are of anti-christ. What happened to Russia 12/25/91? Deadly wound has healed into the Russian Federation.
Satan is the father of lies: John 8:44
In this world if you turn on the TV news you will hear many lies- nearly everything said is a lie. The 'father of lies' could be behind this strong delusion and God allows people to be deceived. 2 Thessalonians 2:11. I see some even prefer the lie, seek the lie, crave and almost lust after the lies. It's hard to believe this is unfolding right now.
People just don't agree on what the truth is in almost any situation. 1 + 1 = 5 to some people. We have unprecedented oppression and denial of human rights right now in the world. There are many preventable deaths and grave injustices occurring daily. People have made their political views their religion and false god. They worship the government and its leaders, while they slander Jesus and attack conservative Christian values. People keep justifying sin in their own mind like satan whispering in their ear what to believe, even murder, even mass murder. No sin seems to be off limits to someone following the father of lies. Some even call themselves Christians while supporting the mass murder of babies.
But all the justifications for sin end up being the same: it's not that bad. It's my right. Everyone's doing it. If I didn't do it, someone else will. It's not what you say it is. No one will ever know. What they don't know won't hurt them. What happens here stays here.
All clever ways satan deceives you into harming others and yourself. It's as though people are digging tunnel to hell.
People desperately need Jesus. Everyone will burn to hell without Him. Some people need to wake up and some need to be scared for their soul. This life is a test and most are failing miserably.
Pray for this world. Pray for healing. Pray that some will open their eyes and finally be able to see the truth.
Not sure why the reply, the post was on Acts 15. I agree the law was the schoolmaster and now that we have faith in our savior Jesus we are no longer under the schoolmaster. I agree the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, His blood cleanses us from sin and it is by the grace of God. Being saved by His life, the resurrection from the dead, we by faith, with the Spirit, the down payment, we will be raised incorruptible at His coming.
We are not justified by works of the law, we are justified by faith in Jesus and the Spirit of God. Any works done is done by our faith in Jesus, He died for us, was buried, rose from the grave, now sets on the right side of the Father and is the only mediator between God and us, not by the flesh we are housed with.
God bless,

Goodmorning and God bless you.
Acts Chapter 9 will tell you very plain that the words spoken unto us by his Apostles & Paul were from Jesus. His command to them was preach the WORD (Jesus) all of which are direct instructions.
Isaiah 35:8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
The New Testament is written by Holy men that followed Jesus while he was here. Paul as one born out of time spent time with Jesus and was told what he must do and say, not what he wanted at times but was obedient.
Keep yourself clothed in Christ so that everything in your life is presentable to the Lord. Romans 13:14 "But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof."
Pray. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
Stay the course no matter what happens or what your emotions are Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 2 Corinthians 5:7 "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
God bless you!
Ever heard the saying, "You can lead a horse to water, but you force them to drink'? That is your situation with your family. What to do to win them to the Lord. Live your life in Christ Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.
1. Submit to the LORD as an example of a sister in Christ's proper behavior and relationship with the Lord.
2. Joyfully and lovingly serve your husband--if you have one--and your family, community.
3. Use respectful dialogue when engaging them.
4. Invite them to church, but if they flat out refuses to attend, whatever you do, don't nag them about going. If they do attend, don't push them to go to the alter. In other words, let the Holy Spirit do the convicting and prompting for that's His job.
5. Ask God to send born-again people their way so that they can see Christ in them too. And remember two things. One, no matter how negatively they react, you don't what the seeds you and others have planted in their heart. Pray that those seeds have fallen on fertile ground. Two, don't give up. Some people pray for years before their loved ones come to Christ.
Glory hallelujah
