moving in the supernatural
F@lgn0n:
Hi there coryd.
I have had several experiences that 1 might call 'supernatural' whilst in the charismatic churches. Healings, demons cast out . . . I have even done some of these - truly amazing experiences . . .and more than a few. God can and does heal physically.
However,
I have since come to realise that these wonders ABSOLUTELY PALE in comparison to the OVERWHELMING AWESOMENESS of the power of God as displayed when He SPIRITUALLY HEALS someone. The experience of rising from the dead (spiritually) was BY FAR the most MAGNIFICENT thing God ever did for me.
I think, perhaps, you put far too much stock in what the carnal mind can perceive, and not enough in those things that are FAR MORE POWERFUL, which the carnal mind can not even conceive of.
Peace to you, brother.

We need to get untangled with the ways of the world and the manifestations of works of the flesh. God is calling us out of these deceptions to His Light and through His Spirit.
Notice what Jesus said to Peter :)
Mat 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
The Church is minding the things that tickle, impress, influence and manipulate the feelings and esteem of carnal man. These shows of spiritual works of the flesh are actually leading people further into dependence on the flesh for their sense of well being. The condition of the soul is more important.
For what does it profit a man if their body is flawlessly healthy and they lose their soul?
What does it profit a man if their mind is brilliantly functional if they lose their soul?
The Church is practicing works of the flesh and mind because they savor not the things that are of God, but those that be of men.
And yes, I have experienced many unexplainable circumstances that can be categorized as paranormal. So greater has been my handicap!
The quote you refer to in Mat 21 shows us where we are heading not where we are.
Non of us are yet perfected into the Image of Christ. When we are, then, and not before, we shall have the Faith of Christ. We only have the deposit of such Faith. Once this Faith is fully accomplished in us, through our trials and tribulations, then, we shall no longer doubt, then, ye shall not only do this which is done to do the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.\....but not today….
Church leaders love to ascribe “gifts of the Holy Spirit” to its own appointed hierarchy, showing itself guilty in the practice of theft and fraud. They have their reward and their correction is reserved for them. these following Scriptures are really good pointers for anyone being called out of the deceptive practises of demons.
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Leaving extravagance, continue to Live simply. Live faithfully. Live peacefully. Live trustfully.

Well said Arc,
I too have seen and/or been involved in casting out demons and witnessed heeling's that boggle the mind. I must concure that raising the spiritually dead is far greater. I try to see the super natural power of God every day in everything I do, see, touch etc, especially the spiritually raised. Peace
Deborah-Leigh:
It crystalises the priority doesn't it Roy?
Joh 11:25 "I am the Resurrection and the Life," said Jesus; "he who believes in me, even if he has died, he shall live; 8)
What is better: seeing the Palace of the King ( the trinkets and the delights ) or being in the King's Presence? Need I ask..... :)

Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Babylon claims to be the wonder and the sign!
