What do you know about the deliverance ministry?
485353
That is a wide open question, can you be more specific.\n\nAs the question is now, I would say that there are a number of deliverance ministries around.\n\nThere are some for homosexuals, physical healing, mental healing, ect...\n\nI think that most spirit lead ministries have some form of deliverance involved in it, they just don't consider it as such, or do not proclaim it as such.

Wow! Talk about strange answers!!!!!\nBelow find a link to our website where you can learn a lot about us.\nIt is true that many condem us for our work for and with God.\nWe are followers of Christ/Jesus , Jehovah's son. We do as he requested us to do, educate people according to his father's teachings. We carry God's name, not his title 'God' is a title, as is Lord.\nIf you have an older King James Bible, you will find God's name at Psalms 83 verse 18.\nAlso you can find in Isahiah 43 verses 10 through 12 where he gave us his name to use.\nWe are the only religon that is authorized to carry God's name.

It is an updated version of the same "Left Behind" theology espoused by Hal Lyndsay and other dispensational premillennialists. \n\nIn his book _the Late Great Planet Earth_, Lyndsay told us that the Lord Jesus would return by 1988 because the generation that saw Israel become a nation again would witness His coming in the clouds!\n\nWell here it is, eighteen years later. It would appear that Jesus is eighteen years late in coming. Lots of other speculative "prophecies" by Lyndsay, Van Impe and others have failed to come to pass as predicted as well. \n\nHagee's book is an attempt (one of many, by the way) to excuse or explain away these failed predictions of Bible prophecy "experts."\n\nI wonder how many people have LEFT THE FAITH because of these stupid predictions that have failed to come true!\n\nActually the "left behind" theology is little more than 100 years old! Invented by "revivalists" who hoped to wake a sleepy church out of her doldrums, this new eschatology has ended up doing far more damage than good. Before Darby and Schofield made Dispensational theology famous (along with the absurd "left behind" fiction which followed quickly upon it), the Church taught no such thing as a secret "rapture" followed by years of tribulation under a worldwide dictator and all that rubbish.

Yes!  Pick a sucker group, claim you've read every word of the Bible and believe it in its literal sense.  State that you read somewhere in there, like John 4:52, that if your followers don't support your ministry financially, they'll go to h*ll.

I came from that background and my dad was a preacher in that type of faith. Since I'm sure you will get some negatives here, let me give a counterpoint.\n\nI believe that they are well-intentioned for the most part. They are following what they believe. However, they often don't realize the harm they are ultimately doing by some of their tactics.\n\nFor instance, I had a youth group leader that reminded me of the old Saturday Night Church lady sketch by Dana Garvey. She lambasted our youth group because we were not following her rules. As an adult and a parent of teens, I realize that her goal was to turn us around spiritually. But her methods left a lot to be desired. The turning around that resulted was that most of the teens stopped attending church. And I fought my parents the rest of the time they were there to let me leave that church.\n\nBut I've seen some good things lately in the evangelical churches. A lot of them are realizing that they have to show the actions of Christ, not just preach. They are getting more involved in community projects, such as feeding the homeless, and offering support to people in crisis, instead of just praying and reading scriptures. They are also learning to be a lot less judgmental. They have a long way to go, but they are slowly learning.

I am glad that you are interested in finding out more about the Church. Typically, an interested person meets with the missionaries to learn about the basic beliefs of the church, attends church, commits to live the Gospel and has an interview with an ecclesiastical leader to help ensure that there are no questions or concerns. \nHere are a couple of links that will be of assistance:\n\nwww.lds.org\nThe Church's official homepage.\nhttp://www.lds.org/basicbeliefs/meetinghouse/0,6017,352-1,00.html\nHere is the address to the meeting house locator. \nhttp://www.lds.org/sharefriend/1,14111,3724-1,00.html\nThis link allows you to request a visit from the missionaries or call 1-888-537-7700.\n\nIf I can be of any further assistance or answer any questions please let me know.

Okay, I've been in a lot of denominations so I feel I can answer this from seeing several different viewpoints.\nI'm the daughter of a hellfire and brimstone preacher, and I've attended churches ranging from totally liberal to very conservative. I've also, <GASP!> actually PREACHED a sermon one time.\n\nLet's take into acount that the verse was written in a time when women and men were segregated in the church. This was a time period when women were not allowed to attend school. So, could you imagine how shocking it would be if a woman were to try to tell a man what to do? Also, when you look at the "let the women keep silence in the church" could you imagine what would happen if the wife hollered over to her husband, "hey, Hubert, what did the preacher mean by that comment." It sure would be disruptive.\n\nI firmly believe that God gives each of us gifts and talents, and if God gives a woman the gift of ministry, and preaching, it's God's choice.

I have the book.  I've read the book.  It is non-fiction.  It is a book about serious spiritual warfare.  I have no reason to disbelieve any of it.  I believe Rebecca's experiences are so "severe," because she had dabbled in the occult before she became a Christian.  In other words, she opened herself up to the troubles she has faced.\n\nI do not believe what you will read in this book will be a typical representation of what most Christians will face, spiritual-warfare-speaking, in their lifetimes.  But those who've been involved in witchcraft, the occult, etc. prior to becoming a Christian already have Satan's full attention.  And he does NOT like to lose a good servant.  So he tries to get them back any way he can.  Rebecca is one of those people.\n\nBe prepared for nightmares if you read the book.

I like this question. I just finished reading a book by Max Lucado, "The Great House of God", and in chapter 6, he talks about this very thing.\n\nJesus prayed this prayer as an example to us, to give us a precise model to follow when we pray. And, he is telling us here to go ahead and ask for "his kingdom to come"...meaning we can ask boldly in Biblical faith for God come into our lives. To invite him in..and as Lucado puts it to be present in our lives, in our marriages, and in our hearts. He says, "This is no feeble request; it's a bold appeal for God to occupy every corner of your life."\n\nIn Hebrews 4:16, it says: "So let us come boldly to the very throne of God and stay there to receive his mercy and to find grace to help us in our times of need."\n\nPretty cool, huh?

It's all TRUE.  We were made aware of this over 10 years ago.  It's all coming to pass.  This is how the world will be taken over.  Only those who are raptured at the Lord's return will be saved from the worst of it.  Thanks John

Actually I worked with a very cruel woman who was a minister in the the No Name Church.  She justified mistreating those in her way as necessary in the world at this time.  (I don't think it was their belief, I just think the wrong person in their religion was given some power.)  I witnessed many manipulative cruel schemes in the work place to help her gain a position of power.   I grew up in a fundamentalist hotbed of religion and thought I had seen and heard everything up to that point.  People like Ted Haggard may do damage on a phenomenal scale, but I have never seen evil masked as Christianity as I did with this woman.  It was truly a eye opening experience as I listened to how other members had to come to her for council and her advice . . . such as advising one man to divorce his wife.  Part of her rationalization was the marriage ceremony was not printed in the Bible so it was a man-made contract not supported by the Church.

It is interesting how people with no understanding of Bible prophecy try to explain the book of Revelation. One person said that the church will be raptured prior to the time of the antichrist, How does he explain these verses in\n2 Thessalonians 2:1-4?\n\nNow we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: FOR THAT DAY SHALL NOT COME, EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST, AND THAT MAN OF SIN BE REVEALED, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God\n\nNotice the timing of the rapture. Even a child would understand that the man of sin must first be revealed, then the rapture takes place.\n\nIn addition, the mark of the beast issue is about worship not ID numbers. The beast in Revelation 13 wants our worship, our obedience. He wants to be as God. ID cards or chips have nothing to do with worship or obedience. In fact, there is nothing religious about them. They are purely secular in nature, having much more to do with security. The real issue is over allegiance to God and His law, versus allegiance to Satan and his law.\n\nThe booklet, The Beast, the Dragon, and the Woman explains the issues surrounding the final conflict between Christ and Satan as it relates to God's people and the mark of the beast. It can be found at the following website.\n\nhttp://www.amazingfacts.org/items/Read_Media.asp?ID=668

awesome testimony. It's so refreshing to find other believers out there who are actively ministering to people.\nI had a similar experience with the Holy Ghost, and I haven't quite been the same since then.

I've been slowly studying it for a long period of time, picking up pieces here and there.  I can't give you a complete account, but I can give you a rundown:\n\nThe vessel that God used to initiate this "movement" was John Wesley.  His brother and helper was Charles Wesley, the famous hymn writer.  \n\nEngland at this time had come past the Reformation...not very changed, because of all the politics involved (such as King Henry VIII dabbling into making his own "Anglican" church).  With a few exceptions (such as John Knox) the Reformation in England had man's handprints all over it...\n\nThus, God's spirit was hindered from moving and the moral atmosphere was poor both inside and outside the Church.  \n\nGod used John Wesley to preach "holiness" to his listeners and had a "method" for seeking God.  This was not a Martin Luther "We are justified by faith" movement (which I also believe God initiated), but a "We need to clean up our act" movement.  \n\nIronically, while Wesley was intensely protestant, some saw him as a traitor trying to bring back the law, tradition and rituality of the catholic church.  Wesley did not bring in dead ritual and men's traditions; He sought God's will with a fury on moral issues and preached his findings to his adherents.  Also note that on certain issues he was incredibly liberal compared to his times:  when pastors wouldn't let him preach in their buildings, he simply preached in fields!  This was NOT conventional.\n\nMany in England were violently opposed to these new religious fanatics called "Methodists" because things changed wherever they went...  If you hired a Methodist housemaid, you'd risk loosing members of your family and others to their energetic proselyting and you would feel convicted for your actions!  God forbid...\n\nThus is a very rough and superficial layout.  Hope it helped!  Any questions, just e-mail me.\n\nKeep in mind that when these movements took place, they had God pushing them forward and were not the dry lifeless denominations you see today; e.g. Lutheran, Methodist, etc.  Perhaps we (the Christian church as a whole) should seek God for what His "movement" would be in *this* hour instead of becoming stale by having our worship revolve around past movements...  :)

I've never heard of him. he must be ok, if your listening to him.\n\n There is an abundance of knowledge codes to be learned in Rev.  A lot of people don't discuss it, because it is very hard to understand. A lot of Preachers stay away from it. They simple have not studied it.\n  \n   Keep listening. You will love it, if you find the right man to teach it.\n\nhave a good week.

1. are they teaching from the bible what is says?\n2. Are the talking about the scriptures that are they opinions are is that what the scrpute truely means.\n3. Do they teach the truth about the Almight God?\n4. Do they make things up as the see fit?\n5. Do they say you have to tithe? because no where in the bible does it say you have to. We should give a donation because it helps but not because we have to that a preacher says so.\n6. Does the church talk about the future for this earth? or \n\n\nResearch in you bible to see if this church is lieing to you or telling the truth.

I tell you what please read Matthew 3:1-17, Matthew 11:2-4,11 Matthew 14:1-13; Luke 1:5-80 Luke 3:1-22. That will tell you what you want to know.
