Isn’t it odd that we don’t have a problem with a “sound like a rushing wind” and “tongues, seemingly made of fire,” appearing in a room and “resting” on the disciples, (Acts 2), but we get mad when someone claims that a cloud with something like specks of gold in it appeared as they were worshiping and floated about the room?
For those of you who don’t know, many people testified that something like that happened at Bethel Church several years back. I was a skeptic myself back then. Now, I have to say, the world is a much stranger place than I would have liked it to be. But it is also strangely wonderful.
God is always doing a new thing. We are living at the beginning of a Holy Spirit revival.
“Behold, I am going to do something new, Now it will spring up; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19
@KarlGessler I was reading Maria Woodworth Etter’s books last year and there were some pretty unusual signs there too per her accounts
@KarlGessler I learned of her when @mariapombo posted about Wigglesworth and I looked to see who he was. I found a summary of her life story in the same book, God's Generals:Why They Succeeded and Why Some Failed, written by Roberts Liardon (who I understand was discipled by Lester Sumrall). Wikipedia says her ministry was a model for the Pentecostal church (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Woodworth-Etter) ... I could definitely see that. She was quite a force. I read accounts of her meetings from her own hand, first in "Signs and Wonders" (shorter) and now in "Marvels and Miracles" (longer). This also includes testimonies of others that she included. This exploration of God's working in such lives has been amazing me since I opened the can of worms in 2020.
@Jhayward @KarlGessler @mariapombo Quite informative and interesting. God's General's video series I watched some years ago. Lost interest in Robert Liarden after his gay encounter and stepping down from the ministry.
Anyway, thank you for sharing.
@Jhayward I've never heard of her. Who is she?
