Spreading the Saving Grace of Christ Jesus. Giving God the glory in all circumstances and allowing Him to transform lives and hearts through the atoning work on the Cross. "For we are saved by grace through faith...Ephesians 2:8-9. Love and praise Him with all your heart, mind, strength and soul. Love thy neighbor as thyself and these are the 2 greatest commandments.

THE TRUTH OF LAYING ON OF HANDS IN CHURCH - VIDEO
This is a very misunderstood and very misused technique used in many of today's churches, especially in these mega-churches, by televangelists and even in some very popular (albeit wrong) denominations today. The "laying on of hands" or being anointed with oil is to be "set apart for God" in the Bible. It is not meant to be used for people to run around churches, falling all over the place, convulsing in the aisles and in some I've actually heard a woman say God TOLD her to either bark or howl to prove she'll obey Him. I wonder what the Apostles would say to us today if they visited one of these churches today. I can only imagine the letters the Apostle Paul would write! LEARN TO DISCERN and know what is Biblical and what is not. We are never told to go to a rock concert and be entertained. We are the Church and we are to assemble together to worship God with reverence. Now, I do enjoy some of the new worship songs and I listen to them. I don't see a problem listening to music worshiping our God and Savior but to have laser shows and maybe a fog machine, if you're lucky (lol), so we can "feel" the Holy Spirit. It is not about feeling anything although I do believe there are times you feel Him in a very emotional way. Music sets the tone for worship and we are told to make a joyful noise to God. I believe that and do, However, we are in need to learn the truth and to encourage, rebuke, correct and keep other believers on the right path. We need each other and we need to praise His Holy Name in all things. Just be sure what you do is what God tells you to do and not the leader. The Holy Spirit is with us all the time and we don't always "feel" anything. I also promise you that if the Holy Spirit humbles you and brings you to your knees, you will go on your knees BUT He does not push you or hurt you. You just want to get on your knees, humble yourself before YHWH and that's good. But being pushed down is not the Holy Spirit. It's for all the wrong reasons.
YHWH BLESS YOU AND MUCH LOVE (AND LOVE MUCH) IN CHRIST JESUS!
