Totally disagree. God works in seasons, places, and times.....the initial Upper Room experience eventually came to an end, was it not of God? It just moves into different areas, realms, applications......people........

The initial upper room experience has not ended.

It evolved?? Interesting.. In acts 11 they said it fell on then just like it did in the Beginning and it fell on me the same way so how did it evolve?

I completely disagree; there's nothing to say that people can't derail God's good intentions. We're the ones He puts in charge of accomplishing His will; if we mess it up, that doesn't mean it was "never a work of God."

Was scripture provided in support of this statement?

It would be best stated that IF a Work does not complete then it wasn't of God!

Exactly.

It would also be wise to acknowledge men's idea of success and completion might not resemble God's idea of the same.

Very wise...

To the Pharisees of Jesus' day, Jesus death (and not being able to come down from the cross) "proved" that Jesus' work was not of God...well, we know better.
