Heresy Hunters vs the Holy Spirit
HERESY HUNTERS vs THE HOLY SPIRIT (# 18)
Weird, weird, weird! Weird is the most suitable adjective to describe cessationist doctrine. In the last posting (# 17) I testified of a healing in my tailbone. Was I lying or telling the truth? Justin, an acclimed cessationalist, would be forced to consider me a liar. Why? Because my testimony conflicts with His conviction that Jesus no longer heals. Weird, weird weird! I take no offence; I am in good company. I introduce you to three brothers….
Len. One notable healing (of many thousands) occurred near his home town here in Canada. Rita was on her way to the hospital for a scheduled mastectomy, the roads were icy, there was a terrible accident, her body was a mess, she was put in a hinged body cast. Len prayed, Rita was instantly healed of broken bones (arm, collar bone, shoulder blade, four vertebrae), she got out of her wheelchair and walked, pain free and perfectly healed. And no more cancer, no mastectomy. And the story gets better. About 34 years previous Rita was praying over unconscious (and unsaved) 17 year-old Len who barely survived an horrendous car crash worse than her own. To his doctor’s surprise, Len was back at work two months after Rita’s prayer.
Curry. This brother arguably has the world’s largest healing ministry. One day he was clowning around with his son, kicking stuff out of his recently drained swamp. Curry didn’t know a neighbour had dropped a bowling ball into that swamp, gave it a hard kick, and severely damaged his foot. Ouch!!He prayed, went to bed, and woke up healed.
Gord. This brother was in the Kelowna hospital, afflicted with a very serious disease that recently killed his brother. He asked elders from his baptist church to pray for him…. after some hesitation they complied…. Gord was suddenly healed by his precious Jesus and home the next day. This incredible miracle motivated him into a multi-country healing/deliverance ministry.
Justin would deny the authenticity of these healings AND the thousands (tens of thousands?) Jesus has healed through them. Weird, weird, weird!
