These signs, shall follow them . . . I wonder what kind of signs are really following many of us. What happens, after we arrive at any given place; and what is said of us, after we have left. It seems, that once, we had great faith. We used to talk a lot about these signs; we actually expected to hear that such things were really happening. Ive found in my own life, when I stop hearing about certain issues, I have a tendency to not believe in them so much. We once taught, that faith, cometh by hearing. What did we hear. The hearing mentioned here, came from the Word of God. I dont wish to sound offensive, not in any way. But, its one reason why I am perplexed by all of these so-called power point sermons; and these prepared talks that tend to promote self. I have to insert here, that back in the day, we did not have the money to be running to the doctors for every ailment. There was often even a great distance from where someone lived in the country, to a physicians office. Even in the city areas, you didnt constantly run to the doctor; you recognized that there was power, much greater than what any medical doctor here could do. But the truth is, we heard about healing. Its a bit strange to see that things in life, have a way of coming full circle. I am from the day, when there were three people you could trust with you life. Your minister, your doctor and your attorney. Remember, I said with your life! You cant do that today; or should we say, youd best not. It did become much easier, it seemed, to trust in the doctor, than to believe the old-fashioned way. Meaning, calling for the elders of the church to anoint with oil, and pray. We started putting more faith in the medical system. Its sad to say it, but so much is all about money today. Youre being foolish, if you dont get a second opinion, or even a third. Some of us can attest, that you can pick up more sickness in a hospital, than what you already had. People are, being healed today. Its often when we realize, that there is nothing else medicine can do, we rediscover anew, who the Healer really is. Im grateful for good doctors; I really am. But what Im talking about, is there signs we used to talk about. I guess I shouldnt shake the bush, and say that when the power of the Holy Ghost is around, evil spirits will also get cast out. It might be a good time, to restate, that believers, will speak with new tongues. But we have to hear it; it must be preached. And it must come from Gods word. We need to talk often, about the things Jesus did. And we need to hear about everything the Apostles did; how they acted. A call it going out. I want to tell you the truth. Some of us are desperately in need of a touch from the Lord. I just visited a big Emergency Room with a friend who was very ill. Youd better be looking out for yourself; whether you have insurance, or money or not. Even the best, are producing less. We need these signs were talking about here; more than ever before. I see that the requests for prayer, that are made right here on FB, just may be doing more good, than any other care one might receive. Is it possible, that we once trusted and believed more, when we had no other choice. My life has changed, when I had no one else to go to. When we once more begin to depend totally on the Lord, these signs, begin to follow us.
