If I am not mistaken, giving is the ONE thing that God asks us to "test Him" on.

As for the initial post though, to say I have reservations is an EXTREME understatement. Too many "amens!" have followed to rain on any parades.

Now the story about the $1000 gifts and the resulting "rewards" it totally believable..... but I have major problems with the initial post.

Gentlemen,

You certainly have a right to your opinions. And, sincerely, I'm so very thankful your opinions are dead wrong. However, I've long ago quit trying to convince people who chose not to believe that God really is God and capable of doing amazing things.

Indisputable facts:
* I'm the Pastor in this town (you gentlemen know nothing of my town that I know of) and am pretty much 'up' on what goes on in my Church.
* This lady had NEVER been to our Church and, thus, only a few of my African American Saints knew who she even was. It was one of them that told me she was the Mother (and the other was the driver) of the children killed down just down our highway.
* The Evangelist had never preached at my Church until a few weeks before and had never met the woman or the second woman... ever.
* The accident was some time ago and nothing that had been talked about as recent events.

I do feel so horribly sorry that you evidently don't see events like that take place during a move of God in your assembly. I truly do hate that for your sakes. But, as for me and my 'house', we see things of a miraculous nature quite often.

And, no, it's not a sideshow environment; it's revival moving in my great congregation.

Again, I can't make you believe it. Fortunately, you can't make me doubt it. It's impossible for you to deny the facts or remotely - in 10,000 years - make me think that God didn't orchestrate the Gifts of the Spirit before our eyes. I, like the Apostles, 'cannot speak but the things we see and hear'.

Blessings!

It is truly sad that there are people claiming to be Apostolic who are so bereft in spiritual experience that they don't even believe in the Gifts of the Spirit.

Great reply,Steadfast.

I know this is probably dumb, and I may get trampled under, but I have personally experienced the working of the Gifts far too many times to be convinced that they are false at this juncture.

Some time back I was at a meeting, and during an altar service, a young lady was there in the altar, praying and obviously struggling. I had never seen her before, did not know her name, nothing about her.

At any rate, the Lord showed me a vision of her, struggling with a young man who was forcing himself on her as she fought and scratched and tried to get away from him.

Obviously that was information of a sensitive nature, so I went to her pastor and told him what the Lord had shown me.

His mouth fell open...

He related to me an event that had recently happened in that young woman's life, and told me what it was that I had seen.

I was able then to go to the young lady and minister to her, and she got a tremendous deliverance, and knew that God did know where she was at and did care about what she was going through.

That is one of many,many examples I could personally relate of the gift of the Word of Knowledge.

God is still on the throne, and He still speaks to men. You can believe that or not believe it, but it won't change the fact.

I saw God operate last night in our group meeting...

A man who has came to our group twice is a praying man who added to our lesson last night talking about his experience years ago when his business went down and had to claim bankrupcty and how God brought him thru it...another couple in our group just had lost their business and was going thru the same trials the man had went thru years before...

This man didn't know the couples history or their situation..but God used him last night to encourage them...

You can't make this stuff up... folks...
