The Mother's Day Miracle, story number two (out of 50) from my book, My Walk withrepparttar Lord, www.selahbooks.com, barnes and noble, amazon

II Samuel 12. 22, 23: "And he said, whilerepparttar 126743 child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, thatrepparttar 126744 child may live? But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me."

One Mother's day, after church, I was laying down taking a rest whenrepparttar 126745 phone rang. A Christian friend of mine said, "There is trouble atrepparttar 126746 cemetery, would you go see about it?" I feltrepparttar 126747 presence ofrepparttar 126748 Holy Ghost and immediately drove torepparttar 126749 cemetery. I got out of my car, looked around and there was not a soul in sight. I began to pray and seekrepparttar 126750 Lord forrepparttar 126751 purpose of my being there. After I prayed,repparttar 126752 Lord spoke to me and said, "See that little baby's grave. I want you to go over to it and stand by."

As I stood byrepparttar 126753 baby's grave, I sensedrepparttar 126754 presence ofrepparttar 126755 Lord. Five minutes passed by, ten minutes, 20 minutes, andrepparttar 126756 Lord said, "Have patience." After 30 minutes of waiting, I heardrepparttar 126757 sound of a car approaching. I looked up and saw a woman that I was acquainted with in earlier years. She came right torepparttar 126758 spot where I was standing. That baby was hers and she was missingrepparttar 126759 child on Mother's day.

I began to talk to her and I told her that she couldn't bring her baby back but she could join her child in Heaven. She began to tell me all her troubles, her disappointments in life, her family problems, and her financial problems. As she began to unload, I feltrepparttar 126760 compassion ofrepparttar 126761 Lord beginning to well up in me. Her family was feuding, her brother was sick, and she couldn't afford to call him.

JOHN KERRY WINS ELECTION, PREDICTS CHRISTIAN PROPHET

Written by Mark B. Replogle


Pastor Juan Ortiz with Occludado Hermandad, of Mexico, made this prediction on October 14, 2004. Forgetrepparttar poll numbers and debates, God has told him whorepparttar 126742 new president ofrepparttar 126743 United States will be this November. This bold prediction has sparked much heated debate withinrepparttar 126744 Christian Church about prophecy and whether God really speaks to any man or woman today. There are even some people saying that to question Pastor Ortiz' prediction amounts to racism and is judgmental.

No one disputes that a prophet can make a correct prediction of a future event. So when that future event comes to pass as predicted, is that prophet a true prophet? Everyone knowsrepparttar 126745 answer is; not necessarily. This is because in Deuteronomy chapter 13, verses 1-5,repparttar 126746 Bible tells us thatrepparttar 126747 false prophet isrepparttar 126748 one who after making a correct prediction of a future event, then attempts to have other people worship a God other thanrepparttar 126749 God ofrepparttar 126750 Old Testament, who isrepparttar 126751 Father of Jesus Christ. Thus,repparttar 126752 prediction is secondary torepparttar 126753 call to worship God.

So a prophet can make a correct prediction of a future event, and then try to get other people to worship a god other thanrepparttar 126754 god ofrepparttar 126755 Bible. The Bible tells usrepparttar 126756 reason God allows this to happen is because he wants to see whether His people are really loyal to Him. If they went ahead with that false prophet to worship some other god, then those people would have brokenrepparttar 126757 first two Commandments. Those state that God's people shall have no other gods beside Him, and they shall not worship any other god. Thus, there is no such thing as diversity of faith traditions. Period.
