@DustinBenge - If DISEASE is not from God shouldn't you curse it? - If a PROBLEM is warfare, should we receive it? - If we have authority over DEMONS shouldn't we use it? - If we have not because we ask not, shouldn't we SPEAK to it? When the Son of Man returns, will He find FAITH?

When you mourn a child, you must not only deal with the pain of what you've lost, but also what will never be; a son or daughter in-law, grandchildren, family experiences, seeing what they become, and important celebrations together. The hole they leave behind will never go away.

When I got the gift of tongues, no one was praying for me and I was not at a charismatic church or conference. No one tried to pull it out of me. I wasn't cajoled or manipulated. In fact it happened during worship. The gift just suddenly came upon me. That's how I know it's true.
