What Happen.....

[kurt73]

What happen to sincere christians? When they wanted a move of God they would fast and pray. Not just skip a meal or pray for 20 minutes but fast for days and pray for hours.

I hear christians asking for revival, for God to move greatly in the community, to save lost love ones, etc. but at the same time sitting there doing nothing.

I can remember going to brush harbor meeting and tent revivals when I was younger and seeing the sick healed, the lost coming to Christ, etc. but I never saw the minister throughout the day. Why? Because he was praying throughout the day staying in touch with God. Seeking God annointing on his life and it showed in the meetings.

Are we as children of God not seeking the annointing of God in our lives? Are we slowing turning to man instead of God?

So here is the real questions. What are we doing wrong? Why are we seeing self generated moves of God and not real genuine move of God?

Thanks for your opinions

They are still here, everywhere around the world. Men and women commited to reaching the world with the message of Christ at great cost and sacrifice. I personally know of groups of teenagers ( yes, I said teenagers who fast for up to a week at a time for a move of God.

Where have you been hiding ? Revival, true revival is taking place around the world and here in America. Millions are coming to Christ, nations are being changed. Even in the mist of a world reeling from man made problems, God is faithful. Young men and women are coming forward by the ten's of thousands and committing to going to the mission fields, planting churches. Please wake up

Are we as children of God not seeking the annointing of God in our lives? Are we slowing turning to man instead of God? There are hundreds and thousands of real men and women of God seeking His direction for their lives and the direction of the Body of Christ. They spend their time in prayer and study and seeking the face of God. They have not dissapeared, many on here on this board.

So here is the real questions. What are we doing wrong? Why are we seeing self generated moves of God and not real genuine move of God?

There will always be self generated moves of God manafactured by men, Paul warned the early church of charalitans and false prophets. But that does not negate the many true, genuine moves of God thtat are sweeping the nations of the world.

What are we doing wrong ? Allowing the false to distract us from the real, dwelling on what we see in stead of what we know the word tells us. Walking by sight and not by faith, and failing to believe that God really does have all things under His control

Thanks for asking for my oponion.

One's definitation of a "real genuine move of God," may vary vastly from others.

I might report that on a weekly basis at my local church, 30 to 60 people walk the aisle and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, that healings and deliverances are common among our weekly small group meetings, and our church has doubled in attendance in three years, but, when held up against another's standard of what constitutes a proper sacrifice for a "real genuine move of God," be informed that, in fact, these happenings didn't actually fall into the category of a "real geninue move of God."

Signs and wonders following believers... I grew up witnessing a lot of things. My grandmother handled fire from a pot-bellied stove in a brush arbor, resulting in my disbelieving grandfather running to the altar and surrendering His heart to God. Divine healing for every illness was taught and practiced. These things were common.

Jesus experienced the emptiness of being forsaken by signs and wonders SEEKERS. When the miracles ceased, so did the allegiance. Today, when I hear about a "move of God," it seems that salvation - the greatest miracle - is overshadowed by believers following signs and wonders.
