Sid Roth, Branham, Cain, and Reed

[Amanah]

After I typed that, God gave me

1 peter 2
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

I don't if he is, but that's the vibe he gives off.

Oh he lifts, doesn't look like he is on the juice. But all that spirit channeling voodoo is so creepy.

I'm feeling pretty good. I have a lot of things going on around me that isn't so good. But everyone is moving in a forward direction. Church family is doing great, in Florida, Colombia, Mexico, and Panama. My whole thing is this, if we can't find joy, while we are contending with the ground troops, how will we deal when facing the calvary? We sing a song, "Jesus is Lord, hallelujah, I don't care what the devil wants to do, because the Word of FAITH is my sword and shield. Jesus is the Lord of the way I feel." Feel as in behavior, meaning whatever the devil throws at us my behavior has to be overcoming the obstacle. It's great to see a church family hoop and holler that they are going to get through great tribulation. Post trib shouting their hair down, hair pins, oatmeal box and all. But to honestly believe that we must go through tribulation is to embrace it when it happens. It doesn't feel good, it doesn't look good. It makes us feel bad at times. But Jesus knows how to sharpen us on that whet stone of life. Whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Jesus loves us as a good Father. Like the Hebrew children who didn't back down. They were in a worse situation then any of us are currently in. They were facing the leader of the government. Which when asked if their God was able to save them. They answered yes. But they also said even if he didn't they still wouldn't bow.

Below is a video by Billy Cole talking about Spiritual Gifts and the dangers of operating the gifts.

I personally know Chris Reed. I keep in touch with him. H was on a virtual service one Sunday for our church and genuinely called out 13 of my own mother's siblings and their spouses. He is apostolic and legit. Branham also0 genuinely used the gifts, though got into false doctrine. Interesting how Branham and Reed are both oneness and blew away these others.

But gifts do not determine one's spirituality.

Uhh.. did you watch where he said he started having dreams after studying Branham?

Yeah. It's the same thing as seeing someone minister and getting faith to do so yourself. The gifts of the Spirit are the sorts of things that when you see them as a believer, you get your faith increased. Having dreams of using the gifts is no different than me dreaming I am preaching or dreaming I am casting out devils. I've dreamed of all these things.

Dreaming is more often than not simply a reflection of what's on your mind the most. And when I was a kid I made myself dream of batman once, by thinking and thinking of batman. And I did! lol

So if someone is seeking use in the gifts, it's not uncommon to dream about that, IMHO. And it could be God as well, since God does give dreams, too.

There are no instances in the New or Old Testament where family members were called out.

1 Samuel 10:1-2

1Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance? 2When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

Mike this was done to anoint a king.

These were specific instructions and not meant to be done as a practice.

Who are these others? A couple of Youtubers?
Or some specific charismatic Trinitarians (like Sid Roth would normally have on).

Was there anything qualitatively different in the calling out than there was in the Sid Roth vid in the OP?

Thanks!
