So let us ask ourselves, how come angel dust, feathers, gems, holy laughter, slaying in spirit, etc is not manifested in my church that does not preach the false prosperity gospel yet, we have seen biblical signs not against the principle of God's Word manifesting at my church. In fact, if lying signs are from God why is it not found in every spirit-filled church but only in those churches who visit false revivals & get infected by demons that pass it to others who dont test the spirit?

Hmm...what a great way of explaining why God doesn't move in your church like, He moves in the Bible.

@7billfish  Ok. Why isn't He moving in the church?

@Enochsawit the HS moves in signs&wonders, prophesy, miracles, speaking in other tongues both personally and for the edification of the body. Andrew is speaking about the false manifestations that are going on. these false prophets&teachers operating in a familiar/deceiving spirit copies the gifts of HS to bring deception to church, in exaggeration& mixture. The teachings&manifestations resemble the Holy Spirit's work that is why many are being deceived. Matthew warns us about this

...continued... Was a valid move of the Holy Spirit is an utter delusion contrary to what all Church Clergy stated who visited Wiliam Seymours' meetings.' It looked utter chaos and was correctly judged by the church leadership ofthe day as being so. A little consistancy with Mr. Stromm would no go amiss. Make no mistake Toronto is a mess as is the charismatic church but to be honest so is all pentecostal sects/ Spirit filled ( so called ) assemblies.

[Enochsawit]

While i agree that Mr Srrom is correct regarding Toronto, Brownsville, Lakeland etc., I have to querstion on what authority he makes such judgements when he also has suggested that the Holy Spirit makes men look 'drunk in the spirit,speak with tongues that are not languages and attempt to foretell the future via prophesy. You cannot have it both ways either these practices are wrong and one should reject them or they are valid and he has no place to judge. To suggest Azuza St. was a valid ctd.

@fireitupministries....that's probably because evil spirits hide and unless the Holy Spirit showed it to him, he wouldn't know unless you openly manifiested yourself in front of him. So, by your own acknowledgement, you were hiding. Perhaps the Holy Spirit did not want to disrupt the service and focus the attention on you instead of the Lord Jesus.

[fireitupministries]

I sat right behind Andrew with my entire team of "Kundalini" and he didnt discern our "evil spirits". But he sure is a miserable guy. He needs some Jesus joy!

I understand that people can get freaked out from people speaking in toungues or falling on the ground, laughing or shaking, but just because that happens, doesn't mean it's not from God. That's my whole point. Just because it's weird, doesn't mean God doesn't make it happen. I think Christians need to use wisdom when this stuff happens, because it will make non believers, or even new believers freak out, I agree. I would never invite a person fitting this discription to a church like that.
