From sorrow to the joy of Easter, get rid of delusions and bondage of sins!

| CHICKENS |
Excerpts from the Bible
King James Translation.
Matt. 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets,
and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy
children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye
would not!
Yes, there is a
lot of faith on earth, but there is a little real faith received as a gift from
the Holy Ghost, and there are only few who wants to receive the gift. Since the
creation of the first man and in the seed of Abraham, living faith has come as
an unbroken chain unto this day. There must always be a living seed of God’s
word for the proper growth to start. There must be believers before, who with
the Holy Spirit can forgive sins. In this way, the water that Jesus gives
becomes the source of that water that can share that living water to others. From
right true faith have gone astray a huge variety of heresies and false
spiritualities through many miracles. They cause even fire to fall from heaven,
people in a burning spirit of charm experience revival and supposedly rebirth.
There are really strong spirits of deception and the words of the Bible, when
not the whole Bible is interpreted and not by the Holy Spirit, they find supportive
literally sentences from here and there. False spiritualities literally lay
their hands on the sick, supposedly drive away evil spirits and pray and perform
the miracle of bodily healing. But sins are not forgiven, even if one accepts
Jesus and his word, a different or imitated gospel preached in the same words like
God’s kingdom sermon. People who do not love the truth and agree with such
false teachers and seductive spirits, fall into their power and strongly
believe wrongly. It is important for them to have temporal healing and success.
When you do not take the love of the truth in time, you’ll get a spirit of such
strong deception that you believe a lie. “Evil spirits, spirits of witchcraft,
dead spirits of dead faiths” still exist today and have existed at all times,
even during the early church: Charismatic spirits, spirits of
self-righteousness, spirits of Pharisees, spirits of philosophies, spirits of heresies,
spirits of flesh freedom and world love and spirits of hypocrisy etc. The bright
power of the Holy Spirit and the gifts to discern spirits is needed, that these
“evil spirits” can be driven away from people. So, people could get the grace
of true repentance and remittance of sins that they will become a new creation.
They receive a new part that does not sin, but in the old corrupt part lives
sin, and it does not repent. Only the resurrection body is sinless. But true
believer needs washing of sins again and again and desires to fight against
sins and avoid them.
Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.
Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Then said one unto him,
Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, strive to
enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in,
and shall not be able
Jer. 3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD;
for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city and two of a
family, and I will bring you to Zion:
Acts 3:25 Ye are the
children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers,
saying unto Abraham, and in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the
earth be blessed.
Gal. 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises
made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy
seed, which is Christ.
Deut. 30:1 And it
shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing
and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call
them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
Ps. 129:8 Neither do
they which go by say, the blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless
you in the name of the LORD.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for
there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved.
Matt. 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great
sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the
four winds, from one end of heaven to the other
Mark 13:27 And then
shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the
four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of
heaven.
1. Chron. 16:13 O ye
seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Ps. 105:6 O ye
seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
Jer. 42:2 And said
unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted
before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, even for all this
remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold
us:)
Matt. 7:14 Because
strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few
there be that find it.
Matt. 22:14 For many
are called, but few are chosen.
1. Peter 3:20 Which
sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the
days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight
souls were saved by water.
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds
among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the
LORD.
4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5 Remember his marvelous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the
judgments of his mouth;
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a
thousand generations.
9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an
everlasting covenant:
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your
inheritance: [lot: Heb. cord]
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in
it.
13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to
another people;
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff
of bread.
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: [he...: Heb. his
soul came into iron]
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him
go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
[substance: Heb. possession]
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than
their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his
servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
[his...: Heb. words of his signs]
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his
word.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their
kings.
31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their
coasts.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. [them...:
Heb. their rain hail]
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of
their coasts.
34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without
number,
35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of
their ground.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one
feeble person among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the
bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the
dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
[gladness: Heb. singing]
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labor of
the people;
45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the
LORD. [Praise...: Heb. Hallelujah]
1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet
dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple,
whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, they have taken away the Lord out of the
sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the
sepulchre.
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and
came first to the sepulchre.
5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went
he not in.
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and
seeth the linen clothes lie,
7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen
clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre,
and he saw, and believed.
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the
dead.
10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she
stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the
other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them,
Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus
standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She,
supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him
hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni;
which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my
Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and
your Father; and to my God, and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord,
and that he had spoken these things unto her.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the
doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came
Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side.
Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath
sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive
ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose
soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when
Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But
he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and
put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I
will not believe.
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with
them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said,
Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands;
and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless,
but believing.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples,
which are not written in this book:
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
1 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the
temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, [captain: or, ruler]
2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the
resurrection from the dead.
3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for
it was now eventide.
4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of
the men was about five thousand.
5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and
scribes,
6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as
many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at
Jerusalem.
7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or
by what name, have ye done this?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers
of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by
what means he is made whole;
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by
the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised
from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is
become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name
under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that
they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge
of them, that they had been with Jesus.
14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could
say nothing against it.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they
conferred among themselves,
16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle
hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we
cannot deny it.
17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten
them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach
in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in
the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding
nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified
God for that which was done.
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing
was shewed.
23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that
the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one
accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and
the sea, and all that in them is:
25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen
rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered
together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed,
both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel,
were gathered together,
28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be
done.
29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants,
that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders
may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled
together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the
word of God with boldness.
32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one
soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was
his own; but they had all things common.
33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of
the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were
possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things
that were sold,
35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto
every man according as he had need.
36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being
interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the
apostles' feet.
Matt. 24:32 Now
learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
The fig tree
of false righteousness is eutrophic, expanding.
Matt. 24:24 For
there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs
and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very
elect.
Rev. 13:13 And he
doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the
earth in the sight of men,
Rev. 16:14 For they
are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings
of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great
day of God Almighty.
Rev. 19:20 And the
beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles
before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the
beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a
lake of fire burning with brimstone.
1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came
to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto
you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be
thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the
sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not
troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and
there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers
places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and
ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall
hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for
a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of
his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in
those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the
sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning
of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be
saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there;
believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great
signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the
very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go
not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the
west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered
together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun (grace)
be darkened, and the moon (law) shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven (many give up faith), and
the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then
shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they
shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to
the other. [with...: or, with a trumpet, and a great voice]
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is
near, even at the doors. [it: or, he]
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these
things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of
heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of
man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into
the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also
the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other
left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the
other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch
the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his
house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the
Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler
over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth
his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with
the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for
him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the
hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [cut...: or, cut him
off]
1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there
came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were
mountains of brass.
2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black
horses;
3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled
and bay horses. [bay: or, strong]
4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are
these, my lord?
5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of
the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
[spirits: or, winds]
6 The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and
the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south
country.
7 And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro
through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the
earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that
go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
10 Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah,
which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house
of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head
of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying,
Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place,
and he shall build the temple of the LORD: [grow...: or, branch up from under him]
13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory,
and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his
throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to
Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
15 And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the
LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this
shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
Matt. 24:14 And this
gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all
nations; and then shall the end come.
Luke 24:47 And that
repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem.
1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having
passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?
And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy
Ghost.
3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said,
Unto John's baptism.
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance,
saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after
him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on
them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three
months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that
way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples,
disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
10 And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which
dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or
aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of
them.
13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call
over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure
you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests,
which did so.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know;
but who are ye?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame
them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and
wounded.
17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus;
and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together,
and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found
it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
1. Cor. 12:10 To
another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of
spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of
tongues:

it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a

be done unto edifying.

Anyone who
interprets by reason and charm can literally interpret today, but the Holy Spirit
opens spiritual meanings from this. False teachers who work miracles get
support from the Bible, as did the devil when Jesus was bullied. During the
early church and when Jesus was a man on earth, the above miracles literally
happened to make people believe that Jesus is the Son of God. The greatest
miracle is that He forgives sins. Although false spiritualities heal the sick,
yet they cannot forgive sins, they do not leave, the soul does not receive real
peace. The peace of strong hardening can be obtained by man. Many miracles in
false spiritualities and although there is no spirituality, can be based on
hypnosis, suggestion, or real healing does not occur. There is “witchcraft and
mystery” that can do some miracles. The witches of Egypt were able to do the
same. Attempts have been made to raise the dead, but to no avail. But in the
church of God, the spiritually dead can be raised.
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall
they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
To heal from sin sickness, to forgive sins. To drive false doctrines,
delusions of reason, one's own righteousness, and false spiritualities away
from man, that which God has not planted must take away with roots. For the one
who has received the grace of repentance, a new way of speech comes into his
mouth, gratitude replaces him, and a desire to tell others what has happened
with the love of the Holy Ghost. One can also speak with metaphors and
parables.
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall
not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
If we have to be in the world and hear evil, that
poison will not hurt if we do not intentionally go where the poison of sin
comes.
The joy of being forgiven of great sins
Ps. 150:4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. [dance: or, pipe]
Luke 15:25 Now his elder son was in the field:
and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
It is not dancing in evil lusts, but thanking under
the influence of the Holy Spirit when the cup of the heart is overflowing,
which the believer cannot withhold. Admittedly, nowadays it rarely happens when
the daughters of the song have fallen silent. To give thanks for the influence
of the Holy Spirit, clapping hands and even jumping, “Lord Jesus be thanked”.
Isaiah 38:18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot
celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
Ps. 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in
the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth
over.
Isaiah 9:3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and increased the joy (The translation is based on the most reliable suggestion for correcting the damaged original text.): they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest,
and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
Isaiah 35:6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the
tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and
streams in the desert.
1. Joh. 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth us from all sin.
