I wonder...

What would happen if we as believers, instead of asking each other on Sunday, "How are you doing?" started asking "What has God done in your life this week?" or "How did you let God use you to minister to others this week?" or how about this one, "What did God speak to you through His word this week?"

I wonder....

What would happen if, when we went out into the streets to minister to the lowly and downtrodden, those bound by sin, we expected to see the same kind of miracles that happened in the New Testament? You know....people healed, demons cast out, people set free from sin...

I wonder....

What would life be like if we actually started walking in the power given to us by the Holy Spirit?

I think we would see some incredible things...the towns and cities in which we live would be turned upside down...people would call us fanatics...we would certainly face ridicule and persecution - you start seeing people healed and set free from addictions there are businesses that would suffer - some folks would lose a lot of money.

It would be interesting - no doubt about it. It would be exciting. It would be a challenge.

It would be awesome!

"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father." John 14:12

what would happen?

we'd be scared spitless, that's what :). not a bad thing, but we'd be very uncomfortable, finding any reason to revert to "the old way".

but i like your way. not fun, not pretty, but more real.

made me think. good stuff!
