Re: This Week's Encounters with Legalism
I deliberately left out a lot of details which would make people sick. Everything - mentioned is related to recent events. The facts are she had the same opportunity to experience a dramatic healing and she declined. The legalist missionary stood as rigid as a pillar of salt when God was healing people and people were responding to God's presence in the building.

Re: This Week's Encounters with Legalism
My personal policy is to hold the person's hand. I don't want anyone accuse me of pushing someone over. I have eliminated virtually all tongue talking when I pray with someone. I took a lot of principles I developed praying with people who wanted the baptism of the Holy Spirit and incorporated them into praying for people to be healed. My goal is to eliminate the spook out of healing as well as I eliminated the spook out of being baptized in the Spirit.

Re: This Week's Encounters with Legalism
"then she'll be getting all the grace she deserves from you"
BBYRD, this is my problem with what you have been saying - see that word "deserves"? None of us DESERVES grace. I know I don't. I know you don't either. But if what TV has is so much better than what his mom has, then he has to be an example of the grace of God that he has received from God. How else can he be an example if not by demonstrating that grace as he extends it to his mother? No, she doesn't deserve it. And it may be immensely hard to extend it to her. I understand that. And I am convinced that there is much more to this story than any of us know. I am truly not trying to pin TV up against a wall and slap him silly. That's not my point at all. My point is to try to get him to look at this situation from his mother's point of view and then even tho he doesn't agree, at least to love her with the love of the Lord that He's talked about. And if he does love her, it will show in the way that he treats her. |

The Bible says following Christ can cause division. Jesus said don't be suprised if parents turn on kids and kids turn on parents.

Jesus says if a person rejects the peace you bring, you are supposed to shake the dirt off your shoes and move on. If the parent rejects Godly counsel, no need to hang around. Jesus didn't beg for people to get healed. He let those with unbelief stay sick. The way some people think is Jesus made everyone well whether they wanted it or not. Jesus loved people enough to let them make stupid decisions.
