"Send me all your money and I will send you a prayer cloth." I have heard it for years - Jimmy Swaggart, Orvil Roberts, and many others. God does heal - in HIS own time and at HIS request - not ours!!!! We don't have to pay millions to some self proclaimed idiot who has siphoned millions of dollars from poor desperate people. There should be a law against it - they belong benind bars. Wes Allard - Mansfield, Texas. Hello Michael:

The last time I read my Bible [today] ... what is being done is Lakeland is the old perversion and practice of the enemy. Get people looking at a man instead of the Master. Oh, I'm sure he'd argue that he was pointing people to Jesus ... but it's truly only illusion! He's all about himself. But isn't that one of Satan's most potent ploys? or is it plays?

We need more pastors,deacons, laymen, evangilists, and well of course Christian men and women in this country and the world like you to stand up for what is the Truth, The Word of God; and not be afraid to call out false witnesses! Christ said that "In this world you will have troubles" (I apologize for paraphrasing that) and Pastor Richard Exley said it best last sunday here in Summerville, SC at Faith Assembly as our guest speaker that "We are either coming out of a storm, going into one, or in the middle of one; Who do you run to?". That sermon was from his latest book "Strength for the Storm". His sermon was about Christ in the garden of Gethsemane, Christ ran to his friends in times of need then ran to the heavenly Father, then fell on his knees and prayed to the Father. Christ prayed but kept His faith in God. He trusted God and never lost his faith in God.I myself am currently going through a storm right now. A separation from my wife. It looks terrible and feels worse and my heart is heavy but I will never lack in faith for what God's will is in my life. Yep we both have seen fireproof and I even had begun the love dare. so what did I do, I went to my friends who are Christians and then ran to my heavenly Father God Almighty, and Prayed His will not mine but His, for His thoughts are higher than mine. So with divorce emminent, my faith is still in Christ Jesus. What I am saying is that Christians need to look more at what God's will is and not to our own will just because it makes us feel good by saying positive words. Encouraging words are as Paul wrote edifying to the hearer but that is the opposite of "name it claim it words." Faith comes from believing and hearing the word of God. Just wanted to say thanks for taking a stand on the Truth, The Bible. Just my 1/2 cents worth. In Christ Jesus.
