Charismatic movement



I was thinking about this coined term when I looked up the root of charisma which is

either someone who's appealing or motivating or Grace which in context is always tied into things of God

because he is the author of all grace. The key being all actions or acts of Gods grace are all orderly and done

to glorify Him His son His Word when applied biblically accurate. So when I see things not done in that I

don't believe the individuals are wrong or stupid if what they're doing is what they were led to believe, in

other words wrong or misleading info. Everything our example Jesus Christ did by the power of God

represented that discreet and proper order that God works in because our Father is Epitome of absolute

beauty and order. So Gods Word should be out only rule of faith and practice.

could you explain verse 10 & 11

Oscar Acts 10:26 brief overview. Acts 10:1 Background of Cornelius Gentile and devout committed and

giving and reverenced God in all his house, and prayed to God always again devout. Keep in mind a gentile,

God sends an angel appearing as a man and it frightened cornelius but Cornelius says what is it lord humility.

Then these tremendous words of comfort thy prayers and alms have come as a memorial before God

I.E. He heard You then specific instruction revealed knowledge where to go who to see and where he will be.

Cornelius sends His best and most devout men to carry this out, next God sets up Peter for this

tremendous event in the History of the Church. Verses 9-19 is God preparing at great lengths to show Peter

in Great detail revealed knowledge that he could not know by the five senses only by the spirit what nor to call

unclean and it was shown three times which represents complete biblically [another study numbers in the bible]

so He'd get the point.

Look at Gods timing the moment at the end of the vision so it was still fresh in Peters mind the men

were at the house from Cornelius. Then after the introduction and showing respect to each other they went to

the house of Cornelius. Verse 25 Peter came in and out of absolutely awe and respect Cornelius bowed down in

humility and meekness. Then Peter stand up I am a man like you [notice many were there together]Cornelius

then they share with each other what God did to get them together verses 27 -33 talk about tremendous heart.

The Peter being inspired by the spirit verses 33-43 gives the first teaching to gentiles concerning

and immediately because they already had commitment and respect for God walking the best they knew how

while Peter was speaking Gods Words by inspired utterance they received power from on high and manifested

by speaking in tongues which was the evidence. This only touches this tremendous event.

what is tearfun and the meaning of tearfun please

I recently spoke with a Christian man that has theologian friends that dig through scripture intensely and he told me that the tribe of Naphtali when they fought in battle on King David's side ,was made up of a Nephilim hybrid, half man and half lion. I looked up the word "Nephilim" in an encyclopedic version of the King James Bible that I inherited from my mother when she passed away, and the word Nephilim says next to it, to refer to " Naphtali". I know GOD destroyed the world by the flood the first time, because everyone except Noah and his family was genetically altered in that fallen angels had sex with human women and produced a race of giants but it saddens me that mankind is so depraved in the mind that even after that they just kept interbreeding with animals. Can such a creature be redeemed if they have the capability to choose to fight in a war on GOD'S side with David? Would a creature like this have a soul? I'm just asking because I believe that is what a "Bigfoot" is. (a Nephilim hybrid)

Salvation Message: (Part 4)

John3:16 says, For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

That is how much God loves us. He sent His Son Jesus to die our death. He was without sin, sinless, and yet He came and died on the cross so that we could have salvation. And He did this while we were sinners, yet He had no sin in Him at all.

He paid a debt that we cannot pay. He shed His precious blood on the cross for you, and He shed it for me. There is no greater way to describe love than what He did for us. But until we come to that realization of His love, and what He did for us, until it truly sinks in, we go on about our daily lives heading for that sinkhole.

Jesus died for you and He died for me. We are sinners in debt to a righteous God. We can't pay that debt, so Christ came and paid it for us by shedding his blood as a perfect sacrifice and payment for our sin.

All we have to do is receive Him. He has given us a lifeline and a way to heaven to be with Him forever. He provided a way to get us out of this sin problem. All we have to do is call out to Him to have mercy on us, and by His grace, save us. We must receive Him. Otherwise, each and every day that goes by, whether we realize it or not, we are rejecting Him. And someday, death will come, we will fall into that sinkhole without a Savior, and there will be no turning back. It will be too late then.

So I ask you right now, what is it that holds you back from calling out to Christ for His mercy, and His grace, and for the salvation that He has promised to all who call upon His name? Why not now, for there is no guarantee of tomorrow!

One more part, I promise!

Salvation Message: (Part 3)

Most all of us would so easily make the choice to take the rope. But why is it so hard to take what God is offering, our salvation from sin, and eternal life with Him in heaven?

If we believe in heaven and we want to go there someday, because the alternative is not so great, why would we not take His offer of salvation? We would take the rope so easy, no brainer, but we hesitate when it comes to the most important thing, our salvation from sin.

You see, the bible tells us in Romans 6:23 that the wages of sin is death. We are headed toward this huge sinkhole called death, and we don't know when that day is coming. One day, that sinkhole will collapse below our feet. It could be today, it could be tomorrow, a week from now, or several years away.

In our natural human way of thinking, we always think it's the latter, or several years away. The problem is that we really don't know when it will be. But when the world collapses below your feet, like that big sinkhole we are all headed for, wouldn't you want someone there to grab you and keep you from falling to the point of no return? Even though Romans 6:23 tells us that the wages of sin is death, it also says but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

You see, we can't save ourselves. Therefore, we need a Savior. God does not want us to fall into that sinkhole. He wants to save us and keep us from falling. Without Him, we will fall.

Romans 10:13 says for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. This is a promise. It doesn't say might be saved, but will be saved. God loves us and does not want us to perish in our sins, therefore He has provided us a way out, a lifeline, a rope because we are drowning in our sinful state.

Salvation Message: (Part 2)

So now I begin to read my bible because it's "the Christian thing to do." And the more I read, the more I begin to understand how God sees me. And it's not a pretty picture. I come to find out that He doesn't see me the same way I see myself, or the way others see me.

You see, all along I thought I was a good person. People think I'm a good person. But God sees me in a totally different way, and it's not even close to how I see myself. The conviction begins to become stronger and stronger the more I get into His word. And then it comes to the point where I think "I'm doomed" if this is the way God sees me.

All the amount of good things I do, I believe in God, read the bible, believe it to be true, but come to find out it's not good enough. Why? Because I'm still a sinner and there's nothing I can do about it.

In the book of Isaiah, Chapter 64 Verse 6, it says that we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags. That's what God thinks of all my good deeds. I'm really not that good at all. Not in His sight anyways.

Now I'm in this dilemma. What can I do? I know I'm a sinner. I know I can't save myself. I can't even be "good enough" for God. I know there's a heaven and I know there's a hell, but how do I get into heaven when no unclean thing can enter into God's presence.

I have a sin problem that I cannot fix. But God can, and He's provided a way for me.

Picture yourself out in the middle of the ocean. You can't swim. And you fall out of the boat. Can you imagine being in the water helpless knowing you're going to drown? Now, what if someone in the boat threw you a rope? You either take the rope and pull yourself back into the boat, or you say, no, I don't want it. What are you going to do? I know what I'm doing, I'm taking the rope.

I know of strong Christians that deviated from scripture just a little. Years later they are fully Apostate.

The Church is going to FALL AWAY. Question is, are WE going to fall away?

Look at Satan's Names List. He's Hell bent on defeating Jesus. Thinks he has it in the bag.

Who will stand up like Ezekiel did in chapter 37, and prophesy to the dry bones in our churches?

It just doesn't feel right to me, to let people wander off into apostasy without a comment.

Peoples hearts are hardened if they are told often they are going to hell on a Hell-Fire rocket. Hell's gonna bust wide open.

The Apostasy in the church is this: nobody praying on their face for revival; distancing ourselves from "the lukewarm, etc. I worked in a church. Only 20% tithe. Fights over parking spaces and which pew is theirs.

I have a happy Valentines cassette of a sermon; and then the Pastor starts talking about people who go church to church, looking for the best most perfect one. Then he leans into the microphone and says, STOP SLEEPING AROUND.

I almost passed out, but I saw paled faces everywhere. I was innocent but the force of the Holy Spirit made me slip down too. Some people left that church after that; but a whole lot of people got healed.

The Holy Spirit knows when He is WELCOME to do some ministry in a corporate setting. Some people are scared to death to lift up holy hands and give a wave offering.

One Wednesday night at intercessory prayer (about 50 people), the Holy Spirit showed up. The pastor said "anyone that had ever made a promise and then didn't keep it (on purpose): come forward and be restored, forgiven and healed. Twelve hypocrites stayed seated but the rest of us went up. I was slain in the spirit 20 feet away from Pastor. just sitting on the floor. It was undeniably the Power of the Holy Spirit. Everyone is giddy over being FORGIVEN for false promises and all kinds of stuff. JOY JOY JOY

Don't Quench the Holy Spirit. LET HIM IN.

Mishael

I would like to share my salvation message to anyone who may come here looking for answers and have not yet surrendered their life to Jesus Christ. I posted this on my personal website a couple years ago and would like to also share it here in the hopes that it might lead someone to Christ who has not yet given their life to Him.

If the Lord leads you to read this, please read in order (Parts will be listed)

(Part 1)

Salvation is a deliverance from the sinful nature that we were born with. We are all born with a sinful nature. We don't become sinners later in life when we commit an act of sin. We were already born with a sin nature, therefore we are sinners.

But what do we do about it? Once we come to the realization that we are sinners, what can we do about it? Can we just continue on in life and try our best not to sin? Can we just believe in God, believe that the bible is true, or go to church every Sunday, or maybe even twice a week, and think that that will be good enough for God?

So now we come to the conclusion that yes, I know I am a sinner, but I'm not that bad of a person. Others see me as a good person, and I do my absolute best to be a good person. But am I good enough? How does God see me?

In my mind, I think He sees that I'm not so bad of a guy. I'm doing my best, I go to church, I believe in God, and most of the time, I treat others well. When I stand before Him someday, he's going to say to me "Great job, come on in!"

But then I begin to dust off the bible I bought many, many, years ago, the one that has been sitting on the shelf, never opened, except the time I opened it up to put a nice "Christian" book marker in it because I didn't want to lose it!

There I was worried about losing that fancy book marker, so I put it in a "safe place." It wasn't going to get lost there unless it just jumped out of the book by itself. I was worried about losing that marker because it was given to me by a close friend, one of those sentimental things.

I don't believe that I should be baptized more than once. To me, that would be like murdering Jesus Christ again. He only died one time for all Gods children. I have waited all these yrs because I have been a terrible person full of sin! I actually studied the Bible several times in my life and was afraid that I would just mess up again and I did. But I saw a broadcast one day a few months ago that woke me up once again. I have a lot of scripture locked forever in my head. But this time is different and alive! I've always been that person who loves God & sincerely appreciated how much Love Jesus has, to surrender his life for mankind and the critters of this planet. But as a lifelong drug addiction has held tightly to me. I'm free now. I absolutely know that I will never ever return to that old life. I had tried maybe 50 times to lift that off of me. But failed. As I searched scriptures in my Bible while watching the pastor read them i was healed. I felt my lord & savior Jesus Christ reach hold of my heart and I heard his voice, not out loud but inside my heart! He said to me, ( if u would have me forever this time April I will heal that. I read my KJV Bible daily & watch the pastor for guidance. I haven't looked backwards. Nor will I ever again! So faithfully I remain to him. Its so beautiful I have tears daily, but instead of crying because I couldn't stop for so many years when that was what I truly did want. But I never realized I had to basically kick everyone out of my life, except for those who were Christian. I'm still growing strong in Christ! I have been Clean since May last year. No cravings for drugs, only for more word. I was actually messaging a person that has had a similar past , when I felt him( Jesus ) touch my heart again? As i had told her to join Jesus. She wasn't ready to give up sin so I told her goodbye. I'm not leaving God ever again. Shut my phone off & in the morning, she wanted to learn about her lord & savior Jesus. So I am helping her.

Acts10:26-46 please specify to a better understanding

Matthew Henry's Bible Commentary (concise)

Acts 19:1-7.

Paul, at Ephesus, found some religious persons, who looked to Jesus as the Messiah. They had not been led to expect the miraculous powers of the Holy Ghost, nor were they informed that the gospel was especially the ministration of the Spirit. But they spake as ready to welcome the notice of it. Paul shows them that John never design that those he baptized should rest there, but told them that they should believe on Him who should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. They thankfully accepted the discovery, and were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. The Holy Ghost came upon them in a surprising, overpowering manner; they spake with tongues, and prophesied, as the apostles and the first Gentile coverts did. Though we do not now expect miraculous powers, yet all who profess to be disciples of Christ, should be called on to examine whether they have received the seal of the Holy Ghost, in his sanctifying influences, to the sincerity of their faith. Many seem not to have heard that there is a Holy Ghost, and many deem all that is spoken concerning his graces and comforts, to be delusion. Of such it may properly be inquired, "Unto what, then, were ye baptized?" for they evidently know not the meaning of that outward sign on which they place great dependence.

for they evidently know not the meaning of that ( OUTWARD SIGN )on which they place great dependence.

He called their water baptism an outward sign! He see it the way some of us do.

Water baptism ritually points to the baptism of the Holyspirit.

Acts 19:4.

And when they believed, by believing they were baptized in the name Jesus.

Acts 19:5.

Amen.

Explain more on times and Seasons with bible verses

Where in the Bible did Jesus say that the birds will fall from the sky and all the fish would die?

Thank you..

In reference to Jesus praying to the father three times and being deceitful in his prayer . One must recognize who Jesus was . First he is the only and non other purely the son of the most high God . He became man being born thru a woman thus him awakening into a flesh body called man , ln this body he laughed , cried , eat , drank , suffered , rejoiced the same as we do . You could pinch him or tickle him and he felt it same as we do . He could hit his finger with a hammer close a door on his fingers and shout out OUCH . My point is when he faced crucitfition he was the same as being in our bodies . He knew what was before him it was horrifying but he acknowledged the will of the father and faced it if it was no other way to save mankind . What pray would you have prayed ?

Where in the Bible does it say that women should not become ministers?

In Mathew 16 is a great record of jesus Christ talking to Peter or Cephas in regards to who he was and

what he was going to build. Starting verse 13 who do men say that I am, then in verse 16 Peter as always was his up

and down bold nature said thou art the Christ the son of the living God. Then Jesus said blessed art thou because

flesh and blood has not shown you this, the same with us. Then verse 18 Thou art Peter which means a stone

or pebble but talking about Himself upon this rock [petra large immovable rock or boulder]I will build my church

ekklesia[that which is called out] and the gates of hell won't prevail against it. Showing that He was going to be
