[QUOTE="Laodicean60, post: 77450164, member: 450284"] I was what you call baptized in the holy spirit about 12 years ago when God healed me from alcoholism after I almost stumbled on my 1-year-old granddaughter and begged him to heal me. After being healed I also had an unexplainable love for everyone including my co-workers but the love soon wore off due to the narcissists and the backbiting by insecure people at work and listening to the media. I started to study the bible like a madman and when I got to the verses on healing the sick, I wasn't buying it because in my 20's I saw Beeny Hinn and I thought that was Hollywood and they just wanted my money. I begged God at 50 years old: " Lord I want to believe the word but I don't buy into this healing, please show me and this went on for a couple of weeks". Three months later Dec 2000 I was preparing my meal and I heard an authoritative voice "Call your Mom" So naturally I asked my wife to call my mom because I was hungry. My mom was having a stroke, I flew to Houston and was visiting her when my brother-in-law called and told me he was healed of ongoing shoulder pain (no health insurance) Benny Hinn style, lol. My mother-in-law told me she thought the priest had killed him when he fell down. I was so excited about this that I got on a forum to ask other believers why we don't see more of this. I was shocked at how judgmental and arrogant my fellow brothers and sisters were. I was called a [I]word of faith[/I] and a [I]Charismatic,[/I] I didn't even know what that was. Humankind likes to label and place people in tribes or boxes if people don't believe the way they do. Last month I had a heart attack due to worry and stress of the lunacy in the world and was told that my heart was damaged and that I could recover some of the damage by exercising. The first day I walked, after half a block I had extreme shortness of breath and it scared me. I got on YouTube and looked up stress and was turned on to meditation and Gregg Brandon. Listening to Gregg reminded me of some of the similarities to the NDE videos since COVID, quantum physics, and the bible. The next day I walked 1.5 miles and later that week at the cardiologist I told him I walked two miles that day and the look on his face showed me his disbelief. Then I knew I was healed. If every human on this planet could remember God's great commandment of loving him with your heart and loving your neighbor as you love yourself (this is hard!), we wouldn't be an inch close to nuking mankind into oblivion. I thank God our ancestors didn't have nukes. [/QUOTE]
