Our Gift of Love to Jesus: Refusing Spiritual Showmanship 

❤

Thank you for this comment! I am 28 years old and grew up watching what he was talking about with charismatic worship. It changed my life forever in the best way possible. Just because some people do it to prove themselves, doesn’t mean everybody does. I’m extremely secure in my call and my measure of anointing. I think his comments take away personal responsibility from the 15 year olds watching. God is so much bigger than that and is able to correct and shepherd a 15 year old just as much as He is a 70 year old. He did it for me and He will continue to in the coming generations. Just wanted to thank you for saying that because what he said really bothered me.

@ericadoyle2809 I am 27 and Ihave been involved in charismatic movements in my country for a decade, and I have seen how some ministers lacked authenticity. They performed miracles on stage and this became the focus of their ministries so much so that even when the Holy Spirit was not present, they knowingly/unknowingly deceived many people who followed them through flamboyant performances. Now 10 years later, many of those people have left the faith and some are bitter about the performance kind ministry they witnessed and became a part of. I am grateful for ministers like Mike who preached the gospel with humility and integrity, and who gave up the annual OneThing conferences to focus on their calling of prayer. They taught me to prioritize what matters most in my walk with God and to be genuine and minister before His presence and not to please people.

Shouting with JOY is not SCREAMING into a microphone.

Thanks for the note 😂 I never noticed this before I actually started reading the Bible, thank you for your discernment

A Bride's groom Fact. Christian, my loved one, Wife and Bride. Proverbs 12:4 A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones. Romans 9:25 As he says in Hosea: “I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people; and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,” Habakkuk 3:9 You uncovered your bow, you called for many arrows. You split the earth with rivers; Matthew 19:17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good.

Matthew 24:36 The Day and Hour Unknown “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Mark 8:38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.” John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.

Psalm 49:7 No one can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for them- Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Ezekiel 14:20 as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, they could save neither son nor daughter. They would save only themselves by their righteousness. Isaiah 66:3 But whoever sacrifices a bull is like one who kills a person, and whoever offers a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever makes a grain offering is like one who presents pig’s blood, and whoever burns memorial incense is like one who worships an idol.

Lamentations 4:11 The Lord has given full vent to his wrath; he has poured out his fierce anger. He kindled a fire in Zion that consumed her foundations. Zechariah 9:13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow and fill it with Ephraim.

The poison in the bread had to do with humility? I disagree. The poison in the bread has to do with crucify9ing Him afresh.
