Just listened to a four tape series by Derek Prince. 1. spirit of witchcraft, 2. spirit of anti-christ, 3. Islam, religion of hate and deception, and 4. the church's victory.
Was surprised at how well this man taught the Bible.
I could not remember why we thought he was off, then I googled a clip and found he was into shepherdship teaching. Then I read where he said later on in life:
In 1969, he teamed with Bible teachers Bob Mumford, Charles Simpson and Don Basham, and later Ern Baxter, to lead what became known as the "discipling" or "shepherding movement." The movement became highly controversial as reports circulated of manipulation and control by leaders. Prince withdrew in 1983, saying, "I believe we were guilty of the Galatian error: having begun in the Spirit, we quickly degenerated into the flesh."
"In the light of this," he said, "I repented of my involvement and renounced the error. I deeply regret the damage that was done to the body of Christ and in the lives of many promising young men and women. "
This brother was a Bible scholar with an interesting background.
Prince was born in Bangalore, India, into a British military family. He was educated as a scholar of Greek and Latin at Eton College and Cambridge University, England, where he held a Fellowship in Ancient and Modern Philosophy at King's College.
According to his biography, as a student he was a philosopher and self-proclaimed atheist. His conversion came during service in the British Medical Corps during World War II, "through a powerful encounter with Christ," after he began to study the Bible as a philosophical work.
When Prince married his first wife Lydia in 1946, she had eight adopted daughters, six Jewish, one Arab and one English. Lydia, who died in 1975, went to Jerusalem in 1928 from her native Denmark to run a children's home.
He married Ruth Baker in 1978. She died in 1998 in Jerusalem where they had lived since 1981.
Its amazing how divided we were over doctrine in the body of Christ and no one ever considered praying for others that God would make a way of escape from any deception.
Anyway was blessed by this brothers messages.

I don't know if you have heard about the new documentary that is coming to theaters in your area. It is called: No Safe Spaces
Its about these groups of people going around america and telling us what we can say and can't say and they are working on taking away our freedom of speech.
I know someone who sat in a required government meeting and someone from one of these groups was telling them were not allowed to say "Sir" or "Ma'am", because this is offensive to people of various genders. It was a two hour long meeting telling them what was offensive and hateful speech. No longer can you refer to a boy as "he" or a girl as "she". The person was totally shocked by what they heard. This stuff is being taught in grade schools.
Any Rate this movie is exposing the removal of free speech in America. I got an email tonight saying that the movie would be in out area soon, and I noticed Alabama was on the list of states. I saw some clips of the movie, it seemed very informative. A lot of this New age thinking is being promoted on Campus's and they have courses on the subject of offensive speech. A lot of gay groups are trying to teach a new language and put fear on people who won't listen, they have the colleges working with them to supposedly stop all the hate speech.
You might want to check this one out when when it comes to theaters near you. I think you can google the movie trailer.
In Him,
Gary

Sad to hear Reinhard Bonnke passed away. He was 79 years old. We heard him preach here in Bloomington years ago. This brother had a very powerful anointing. I still remember the message he taught.

I'd invite you along but I'll be driving the Chevy Tracker and it doesn't have much in the way of a back seat!

Sorry about being offline last evening. I've been moving to a new server and it took awhile to get everything figured out.
I hope to update the software in the next few days so it might look a bit different but the content should be the same.

This is a sermon by David Platt, pastor of The Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, AL. I have made comments over the years about the shallowness of the 'denominational system' and so quick to lump them all together. Here is an example of a sound, Biblical call to repentance and a turning unto God....in a Southern Baptist Church.

If the link doesn't work every time, just go to YouTube and type in "repenting of sin and returning to God" David Platt and it will bring it up.

The angel Gabriel told Mary………
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.
Luke 1:37-38 (KJV)
Behold your handmaid (your servant)
Tho I don't understand or comprehend this........
Be it unto Me according to thy word !
I pray as we read and study Gods Word that our attitude should be as
Mary’s was:
Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.

Another weekend of violence, sexual inuendos, reveling, lust, and greed has finally past.
I read an article that said they expected 100 million people would watch the superbowl. One third of this country and the number is more likely higher.
We can all see what is important to the American people.
And that is Sin and the pursuit of sin. I can see why so many in other countries keep saying judgement is coming to America.

Those Aussies...
This is a real exchange I witnessed today between an American, an Austrailian, and a New Zealander (on a Christian forum).
So the American (Yankee) guy is challenging a statement by the Kiwi and says to the effect, "saying that that is true doesn't make it true any more than saying I'm your Huckleberry."
So the Kiwi(New Zealand) says, "Sorry pal, but your colloquialism goes right over my head."
An Aussie chimes in with, "Sorry mate, but for us down under, isn't everything over our heads?"
Speaking of Aussies, a Sincere shoutout to our fellow Christians 'down under'...
btw: being someones 'Huckleberry' means 'your man for the job', or 'your guy'...saying made popular by Doc Holliday in the western movie 'Tombstone'.

Anybody heard of or seen the ad campaign that's sweeping the country? It's called 'I Am Not Ashamed'. Here's the link to their website, I found the comments viewers made down below interesting and some were a blessing.

I've removed the test area and the maillist associated with it and since
nobody liked my innovative initiative I've removed it as a public option.
I of course will still be able to leap over tall buildings using
the software (designed for superheros) while the masses will still need
to use the subway system. Never fear, I will only use my power for good.
I should have realized that most were not ready for change, but I must
press on... new challenges call for new solutions... and that my friends
is change we all can believe in!

There is a heresy being taught that Jesus was a sinner on the cross. Saying God forsook him because of that.
research shows Martin Luther believed that but added that the Lord also committed those sins.
Judgment has now come. 22:7 When the people see Jesus they laugh to scorn--(holy laughter movement and shoot the lip. Also they shake the head. ( uncontrollable shaking esp. of the head movement)
Please understand that we are talking about people who mock the word of God and evil spirits take over their lives. In Heb. 10:29 we have -- a rebuke for calling the blood a unholy thing. Jesus was not a sinner but a sacrifice for us.

Lord why am I waiting so long? The snare to overcome that we can see is- No matter how long you wait, you hold fast because you enter the testing battleground. like a rag full of water you will feel the enemy squeezing. But if you know this--claiming a promise is like holding a rag full of water God gives you. Just squeeze and keep adding more promises.
The promises are what your hearing-hearing and hearing. not the enemy. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Rom. 10:17
Every time I share Jesus that presence of God Spirit rises within me. Makes me feel so renewed.

For those of you who haven't heard there was a major successful preemptive strike by Israel against Hizzbula in the north last night. Israel had very good precise intelligence that Hizzbula was going to launch a major attack on Israel at 5:00 am this morning (Israel time). On some major targets.
There has been a burden to pray for Israel the last few weeks. From what I can see it was extensive across the church. My point here is that this successful strike was the result of the prayers of Gods people. Things are happening in Israel and the region but it simply isn't time for the Gog war and related serious issues to take place. God is still in control.

in 1 kings 17: we see a edifying message hidden. The woman there is seen to trust by faith in Elijah to do as he asks. she receives her miracle. She had to believe or die as she gave all she had--not 10 percent. she gave all possible to live. Notice later the boy dies even though it didn't relate to the cakes that would be eaten to save them.
we know it was a short time that the boy died but as we apply this we can see she forgot the miracle. Elijah ate up the cake leaving nothing for her and her son. She forgot and sees Elijah in a bad light.
She expresses that she is willing to discern a false prophet which is good to discern. She was wrong in her discernment. She charges him as a false man of God. See that in her questioning him.
we see that about Jesus. The leaders would judge Jesus until a leader would say leave him alone, if he is who he says he is, you could be fighting against God if you are wrong.
To edify-- Our faith is quickened by not forget the miracles of God in our past.

In John 20:5 we see the word plural clothes. repeated in v.6. clothes. then a second thing in v.7 napkin laying by itself. not a part of the cloth called a shroud. with Jesus face on the shroud is not possible because the napkin covered his head.
I am not able to share the truth about this any further because something tries to erase a long message I create.

I give all credit to the Holy Spirit who showed me this. Many commentaries agree that Samson did not get water from the jawbone of the chamor Hebrew for word that shocks many. It is not called a donkey. The bible calls it a (---) Anyhow There is proof that shows it was that miracle of the jawbone with water.
because some commentaries do have useful info. I won't throw them in the trash. Many may say they hear the Holy Spirit but they really evaluate things with their reasoning and not pray for wisdom.
The answer is in Judges 15: Samson already took the jawbone in v.17 then he tosses it away. Then he names the place Ramathlehi. He had by the power of the Holy Spirit slay a 1'000 men. Lehi refers to jaw.
in v.18 he is very thirsty from such a mighty feat. He calls on God to help him. God does help him and his response is-- he calls this place Enhakkore which is the fountain of one calling. then we read that to this day Lehi is still the name of the place he called it.
Therefore we can see that Samson didn't experience this miracle in these places, but gives the names of these places out of his wisdom and experience. He named them himself. Therefore it was truly a miracle from God --water out of the jawbone.

Isaiah 47:11-14 (KJV) Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.

back during the Obama administration, Hope you didn' vote for him, there were gates to Baal constructed and put different places. One was in N.Y. This is a part of the NWO that is striving to take over the world. They want to be rid of true Christians and Jews. Threats are arrising to take away bibles but not just yet. God is getting ready for a revival and his soldiers (hosts) are getting ready. They know their bibles by memory and can think on many wonders in the scriptures to encourage everyone.
They are very versed in promises of God and faith for receiving them. Did you know that promises of God ae connected to every doctrine?

In times of hate and rejection, we have it made. When spending time by the Spirit in the N.T. it amazes me how much God tells me he loves and forgives me. If God has any issues with me he shows it in his gentle loving way. He knows that I have a quick apology thing with him.
It is a awesome thing to partake of the bread and cup often. I just received a healing based on that ordinance. As we press in for the prize and strive to be one with Christ, we pray for the Lord to deliver us through temptations. Our prayer life is what helps us be more and more righteous like him.
The Lord sent me here and removed the hacker attack from that. I know that to be true and am not just saying that. liars are not considers overcomers right?

When things are misunderstood, esp. in a time where doctrine is not important to most professing christians, there are those who are Spirit filled and learn things not heard of by believers who are not filled with the Spirit. Doctrine becomes sour milk when not if not brought to life by the Spirit.
The letter killeth but the Spirit giveth life.
Job was going through tremendous attacks by Satan and his friends were helpers to that. But as Joseph said-- they meant it for evil but God meant it foe good. We will never learn to be a overcomer without these trials. We are on the way when we learn to forgive and know that all things work for our good. Most will not receive us and we take up our cross and put self to death.

In Matt. 27:24 Pilot calls Jesus a just person. that is because he understood that he was innocent. He calls him a person. That is because he is a man. In 1Tim. 2:5 we have one God. Then we have a mediator. He puts on the flesh by his birth and grows to be a man. Now he will be a person. In 2Cor. 2:10 in the person of Christ will be forgiveness given. Now before Jesus was born and was God in the flesh, he was Spirit. In Jn. 4:24 God is a Spirit . What is the point?
When Jesus who is God put on human body, a man. He was then called a person. In Lk. 24:39 a Spirit has no flesh or bones. The distinction would be that God is not a person until he puts on flesh. Only on a cross could flesh die and shed blood. It was the giving up of his person and his life ( the life of the flesh is the blood) , that he could pay the price required to atone for our sins.
Jesus was one with the Holy Spirit and the father. but his distinct personality came and put on flesh to become a person. When his work on earth was finished, he returned to the heavenly throne of his former glory. Phil. 2:5-10 He is equal with God and became a servant for us. and then is exalted when returning to his former place. form means the same image. Yet distinct from God the Father in personality. He even gets the highest name of Jesus. Yet he is still God. That name means savior. This personality of God is to be savior. Yet God says call me father. Matt. 5:48 and 6:9. God is one essence eternally manifest in 3 personalities, Father, son, Holy Spirit.

Phil. 4:4 joy and rejoicing go together.
in 4:6 instead of being anxious and need of care we can pray and God will help us.
in 4:7 peace which is the gospel and all it's promises will keep us stable in heart and mind by Jesus.
in 4:8 these things keep us in praise and virtue and like Jesus.
in 4:9 The big one-- the presence of God will be with you.
in 4:11 though you may have wants or needs if you are content you will be calm.
In 4:13 just think it says (all) things we can do by God giving us strength and power.
In 4:19 He created heaven earth the universe, so how many riches does he have in glory? Yet he promises to supply all our needs. Through faith we receive inheritance as his sons and daughters.
These are 7 in number and create joy and rejoicing of ch 4:4.

In the past few weeks the Lord has been blessing me in memorizing scriptures. There are many past things that have remembered and going over them also. those past things are so amazing how the mind stores them. The key is how to remember things. If you cannot show a passage to what you know as truth, a world full of opinions and actually in a state of opposition will not listen.
explaining a subject is more effectual from the heart and by experience. Wisdom of God helps reach the heart of the hearer. If one is under a anointing they will have many operations of the Spirit to convince the hearers. One example is when a person was with me and I gave a word of knowledge. He was told we were about to find ourselves in trouble and what it was. It happened. next time I saw him and he said he was excited that I knew before what would happen. It was for both our benefits what God revealed.
The great blessing of saying scriptures for memory is we find ourselves being renewed in our minds from the carnal worldly thoughts. Thinking about God keeps us walking in one nature of Christ. I thank God for giving me several ways to remember scriptures it is a gift from the Spirit of God.

Job was a target of the Satan. If boils came, that was evil that came upon him physically. The loss of possessions must be included. That was also what came upon him. We can see that things can be misinterpreted. All that came upon him was physical and not physical-- though it is said it came upon him. He was not in the house when it burned down but still it came upon him.
I hope you see my point. we are dealing with statements here. all that happened came upon him. Job 2:11 shows that. it made others feel bad. They tried to figure it out. see ch. 2:10. In all this Job sinned not.
Now think about Jesus. The whip (evil) came upon him. add, the pulling of his beard, the spit, the nails, the physical abuse (evil) came upon him. but in all this he sinned not. He said Father forgive them for they know not what they do. No sin came upon him, just the abuse ( the evil of the people he would forgive.)
Remember when he was raised from the dead? Jn. 20:17 He was so Holy that he told Mary to not touch him. He must first go to his Father in heaven. He was a spotless Lamb. Also he saw no corruption.
my sins which were committed in my life time were forgiven by him over 2,000 years ago. He didn't wear them, only by faith in his blood atonement, I received forgiveness. that makes me free by believing his finished work on the cross and resurrection. oh what mercy, oh what grace. For all who believe.
faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.

It had rained on Monday and all day Tuesday. On Tuesday evening the sun was right on the horizon. There was that last mist of rain as the rain was also leaving. It is very likely that you can picture in your mind a rainbow you saw before. This rainbow was 4 times as wide. each color was at least half the size as one color in a regular rainbow. The colors were perfect as if painted on the sky. All this rainbow was a full bow and it was over my house.
When thinking about it, I remembered that in reviewing old notes the Monday before spent a lot of time on my Noah notes.
On Wednesday, went to Hobart Freeman videos on you tube. right there was a new video posted just 2 hours ago and had 2 views. It was a message on Noah's flood.
What a shame and loss when poor saints don't have the Holy Spirit to show them the things God wants to reveal by his Spirit. The natural mind cannot understand them. Those things when understood take your breath away to.

This one chap. applied to us today. Plus a special find from the Lord.
If you will read 1 Sam. 7 and see the picture there.
In verse 1-2 the ark is somewhere else for 20 years. This makes the people cry. That is because God must be on the ark which is his throne. Otherwise he is gone. The people are starting to miss him. They are still religious, but are not pleasing to him.
v.3-4 The Philistines are a big problem, but if they put away their gods they will receive the helper. Israel obeys and puts away their gods and gets their hearts right.
v.5-6 Samuel will pray for them and they will also pray and confess their sins. (like 1Jn.1:9).
v. 7-9 The Philistines (devil) comes after them, they cry for help. Samuel offers a sacrificial Lamb. v.10 God smites the enemy.
v.12 after the victory a stone is set up as a memorial. Ebenezer means stone of the helper. Because the Lord--in his mercy-- helped us. In the N.T. Heb. 2:18 we have the word succor. In Greek it means to aide or help. it is speaking of Jesus there.
Look at Matt. 21:42-44. The stone there refers to Jesus in both passages. Put those together and you have Jesus as a stone and a helper. I cannot say that the scriptures of Heb. Sam., and Matt. are united but they are spiritually significant.
v.17 Sam. built a alter near his home. We also build sacrificial alters with our lives. Rom. 12:1-2.
In 2 Sa. 6:9-15 In v.9-10, we see that David was understanding how important the ark was and it was to be reverenced. Yet Israel lost that respect for a while. Samuel helps them have a revival.
v.11 shows how a man who is upright can have great benefits and enjoy having God and his throne in their life. his name was Obededom. David sees the blessings of the Lord on Obededom and sees that it pays to be righteous and have God with him.
We have a parallel here. Israel were not Pagans they were God's people. They were being chastened to lead them to repentance. God brought them to the place and they repented. Then God gave victory. David shows how it pays to have God on the throne around him. You can see that God is sovereign and merciful for a little while. Lord be my helper and deliver me from my enemies is a great prayer. One man and a ark sounds like (a remnant).

It is not difficult to understand why that would be. A word was put in my Spirit this morning. It is so amazing because it is awesome that God did this.
In Matt. 9:v2 We see that Jesus forgave sins, for he saw faith. and the man was healed. After faith--Jesus forgave--and healed. see that? How would you know without wisdom of God to see Deut. 28:?
In 9:22 the woman was seen having faith then she was healed.
9:29 the blind man could see again-- by faith. Ps. 146:8 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind. This is said about God in the O.T.. That is Yahweh. now Jesus is the Lord- son of God healing the eyes. by man's faith.
What about the O.T.? I mentioned earlier that Deut. 28 comes in on this. What God is showing here is that Jesus is the one who can forgive sins. Also that if one has faith they receive something. So there it is. Deut. 28 is the biggest mention of the obey or disobey the law. When Jesus forgives sin the curse of the law is removed. How to remove the curse or curses? A living faith in Jesus to forgive and take away (any) curse. (by Faith) How ? By faith in his promises. The promises are the blessings of the law. If the law is removed by faith, that is sin or transgression. We are counted as righteous. Rom. 3-4. You will see that in reading Deut. 28. Promises of God are yes and amen--by faith.
Why the devil hates this is because he loves death and curses on people-- especially since he lost his. This is why the battle-- but by faith we conquer. We are made more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus.
faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.

In Matt. 6:10 we have that the desire is for the kingdom to be on earth as it is in heaven. there is more but just that point for now.
v. 13 has 3 words that really go together and that is seen in that verse.
Kingdom. Let's lookat Rom. 14:17 and Jn. 14:17 righteousness , peace, joy in the Holy Spirit. and the Holy Spirit will be in you (the kingdom).
power.- That word is dunamis. in Greek. G1411 it means miraculous, mighty, and wonderful. This same word is used in Acts 1:8 you shall receive power (dunamis) after the Holy Spirit is come upon you.
glory- 1Pet. 4:14 He is called the Spirit of glory here.
the three words kingdom, power,glory all point to the Holy Spirit.
This seems to be the prayer ending with the desire for the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:5 makes the distinction of John's baptism and the Holy Spirit baptism. Same in Acts 19:3-6 one baptism is in Jesus name. John's was father, son, holy Spirit. (titles.) Acts 1 and 19 were after the cross.

In Heb. 11:8,9, 11Sarah. we have Abraham in the faith hall of fame. We hear about him from time to time. Mostly of his success with birth of Isaac. This post is to encourage you that Abraham had trials to. He was victorious through God his friend.
1. Gen. 12:10 In a grievous famine.
2. 12:12 and 19 Egypt wants to take Sarah from him.
3. 13:7 the strife between the herdsmen.
4. 14:14 His bro. becomes captive.
5. 16:1-16 Hagar trouble.
6. 21:14 Sending Hagar away.
7. 20:2 Sarah taken at Gerar.
8. 26:1 another famine
9. 22:1-22 to offer up Isaac.
These 9 were info. I found and then added my message about Abraham and how he had faith and victory through his trials. I will have my students read all 9 and then look for themselves how God gave him victory. write that down beside them (the 9)for future reference. Looking forward to you getting a A on the exam---just kidding--God bless.

To think one scripture would show us the answer. The world wide rebellion against God and his word. In 1Cor. 11:7-8 show us God and his plan. This rebellion is rising in religious and secular people. This scriptures reveals man and woman and their position. My Dad years ago was trying to make a point, though not liked, it was a good point today. He said if he calls a apple orange then it is orange the apple being red. His point was what he says is to be obeyed if he says it. Well communism is the same. If your a male and want to be a girl you are expected to be obeyed. If you dress wrong then you are right. Don't question it because I say so. (they say). Antinomianism is rebel against what is law or naturally right. Yet----- if you say it is wrong to do this or that, you are rejected. I just had a young man say to me after saying long ago I gave up rock music. He said what is wrong with rock music? He professes to be a Christian.
If I remove or put body parts on I still am what it says in my birth certificate. I rejoice that babies go to heaven after abortion. They will be waiting for me there.

Matt. 13:44-46 we have the parable of the pearl. Must see that he is talking about the kingdom of heaven. v.47 now it is a net. we have a field , a net, a pearl.
In Rom. 14:17 we notice a non broken connection between God in heaven and God the Holy Spirit. it is a kingdom. Jesus of that is also called the King.
In Job 28:13, 15, 18, As you read 13-18 and meditate , you will see he is talking about a non worldly thing. it is better than that which so great but far lesser. treasures of wealth are dull to it. it is called God's wisdom.
In 2 Cor. 4:7-8 We have treasures in earthen vessels. treasure in Greek is thesauros. That is where we get a book filled with treasure of knowledge. The Holy Spirit is a deposit of wealth (wisdom) in us. That pearl is greater than rubies.
In Prov. 31:10 we have a virtuous woman. In Hebrew virtuous means wealth, valor, strength, great force, might , power, riches. In Matt. 5:30 The woman touched Jesus and virtue went out of Jesus.
In Prov. 31, notice two words. wealth and riches. she is a woman filled with treasure (virtue). Her wealth comes from within.
The point we have here is that God's Spirit puts within the Believer his Holy Spirit to cause a treasure of wisdom which is far greater than worldly wealth of any kind. A lack of faith will only see a lust of the flesh, and of the eyes, and pride of life. Wisdom comes by the eyes of faith. see James 1:5 If you lack wisdom ask of God who gives freely (liberally) to all. But ask in faith. God has deposited the earnest of our inheritance into us. That is greatest treasure.

Isa. 55:1 If the Prophet is speaking of thirsting for waters in a prophetical manner then he includes the future. If not it is for O.T. folks.
Well after finding the prophetical then we have much future here included. 1. In v. 3 we have two. He says (everyone ) that comes in v.1 and v.3 He will make a everlasting covenant. Heb. 13:20 that covenant is everlasting and is the blood paid for our redemption. 2.In John ch. 4 He offers the woman free rivers of water for thirst to be for everlasting life. Jn. 7:37-39 shows us the water is the Holy Spirit. and he gives the living waters.
v.3 also there is the sure mercies of David. see Matt. 9:27 and Lk. 18:38-39. This is prophetical as to what Isaiah is saying. Jesus son of David and his mercies was future of Isa. 55:3.
Also 55:5 we have here the Holy one. He is for all nations. Mk. 1:24 and Acts 2:27 and Acts 3:14. also other places. In 55:13 we have for a name as a everlasting sign. Name refers to someone famous here in the Hebrew. It is the Lord for a name.
So verse 1 is the key. E-v-e-r-y-o-n-e- who thirsts. It doesn't stop at Jesus coming only, but it a everlasting covenant. Also everlasting water. Why? see Isa. 12v:3 wells of salvation. Including Jn. 7:37-39 Holy Spirit the water. and then it never ceases. see Rev. ch. 22:1-2 and Rev. 7:17. 21:6. it never stops flowing from the Holy Spirit from John to revelations and on to eternity.
In Acts 2:4 the utterance from the mouth comes from the belly, (inner man) which is the rivers of water. That is tongues. That then to be understood, (God praying through you) would need interpretation in your language. If a person seeks signs they could find false signs. When you pray in tongues you will know that this sign is not false. Why? God will show you in your language. You probably will need good teaching if you are a new beginner. If you go to a false teacher they can trick you because they are just making a noise and not real tongues.
Tongues is a secret kind of language so the devil doesn't know what God is saying through you. When the power of God manifests at the other time of what you prayed, Things just happen and are unhindered. That my friend is Halleluiah time. It is all about faith and believing God who never will fail you.

In these verses we observe that as Jesus himself standing there says all hail. This salutation is saying for them to rejoice and be glad and not afraid. Notice when they fall it is to grab his feet and to worship and adore him. He is alive. Now they are able to touch him. Mary could not as he had not returned to his father yet. Their experience is a natural one filled with great joy.
If you get the chance try sometime just getting on your knees with hands raised and sing all hail king Jesus
all hail Emmanuel
king of kings, Lord of Lords,
bright morning star.
and throughout all eternity,
I'm going to praise you,
and forever more, I will reign with you.
God bless you king Jesus.--- guitar works to.
