Heard an old district presbyter testify about a young boy who was healed when he (the presbyter) laid on top of him. He said God told him to do it.

*cringe*

Thank you.

I had a mouthful of chewed banana when I got to the "cringe" portion of the post. You can imagine the rest.

I have heard of that before.

Where a minister did exactly as the verse stated.

Then he lay down on the child's body, placing his mouth on the child's mouth, his eyes on the child's eyes, and his hands on the child's hands. And as he stretched out on him, the child's body began to grow warm again!

Oh, so like ILG, you had this experience. Listen, we didn't know anything about RR, never heard her name - YET - we were taught to put faith in the healing power of our hair and that our submission gave that to us.

Once in prayer, I was crying out to God, "See, I haven't cut my hair." In that moment, I realized it was about my love and faith in Jesus Christ. My hair wasn't what would get me through that trial. I never focused on my hair ever again after that time in prayer.

What I am saying is that I know a lot of women who don't cut their hair, however they can't explain why because it doesn't make sense. It has always been confusing to them. They thought their walk was about Acts 2:38. And especially a life with Jesus Christ having the indwelling spirit.
