Healing and Miracles? Yes!

God showed me something this morning.
It is easier for people in other countries, who have never heard the gospel, to hear the gospel, receive salvation, and immediately start believing and walking in all that the Bible teaches. They read the Bible and just believe what is says, so they start walking in healing, and miracles. They fast and pray like the Word says to. They receive baptism in the Holy Spirit and speaking with other tongues easily because this is what the Bible teaches. Therefore, they experience the manifestations of God! There is so much documentation of these wonderful things happening around the world.
What is the difference between the people in other countries and Americans? Well, Americans have a certain "religious mindset". We have been taught certain things since our youth and it is very difficult to see out of this box. For example, we have been taught that certain things in the Bible have passed away or that these things were just for the time Jesus walked the earth. We have been taught that yelling and shouting for a football team is OK but we must worship God quietly, reverently. That's not how the people of the Bible did it! They shouted, they sang, they danced, raised their hands, played their instruments, and even fell on the ground at times!! God is an awesome and mighty and exciting God! He is full of life, and miracles and adventures! He is anything but boring!
Oh, if our country could just get a hold of this! We would experience revival! We would have a return of honesty, integrity, righteousness, Holiness, healing, and miracles! We would have prosperity and peace in our country instead of recession and fear!
It all comes back to reading the Bible and believing it for what it says! We don't study the Bible by reading a verse here and a verse there. There is not a lot of revelation in that. We sit down and ask God to reveal the truth to us and we read and we read and we read and then read some more! That's where the revelation is! We just take God at His word! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! Amen!
