Jesus taught a lot by parables and I like to share a story with you. Trust me it does have a spiritual meaning. I used to live in an all black community and
let me tell you that community was a very ungodly community. There were drugs, alcohol and crime there. It was the opposite of living in a Bible believing
community. You couldn't trust anyone in that community. In fact the city where I lived, most of the projects were black and full of crime. In fact
crime really went up when the city became an all black city. I could have forumed a projudice against black people and belived that all black people are
ungodly, live on welfare, have children out of wedlock and do drugs and crime but just because this one community or all the communities in this one city where
I live was like that doesn't mean that all the black people in the world are like that. In fact while I was living there I meet a very Godly black woman
who was on fire and love Jesus. And I have meet many other black people who love Jesus and have Christian values. So for me to judge all black people to be a
certain way would have been wrong of me even though I had a bad experience living in an all black community. I findly did move away from this community and I
am in a much safer community.
I understand that you had some bad experience in the Charismatic and Pentecostal faith and I am sorry to hear about this. But please do not let your bad expericne cloud your mind to judge all Charismatics and Pentecostals as bad people. There are a lot of Pentecostals and Charismatics who really do love Jesus, they are in the Word, they pray and worship Jesus a lot and they have had real close encounters with the Almighty God. And to put all Charismatics and Pentecostals in a box and say they are all fakes and their experience are not of God is wrong.
Again I am truly sorry that you had some bad experiences in the Pentecostal and Charismatic faith. Jesus did say that their are false prophets to be aware of them, he did mention wolves in sheep's clothing. Even though there are fake miracles doesn't mean that miracles still do not happen to day. I believe that God is a big God and He can do anything He wants to do we just have to be open too it and test the spirits.
You should never put your trust in man to began with but God. Man will fail you but Jesus will never fail you. Man may fail you and make you believe they are something they are not but that doesn't mean that Jesus isn't the same Jesus He was when He walked on earth. I believe Jesus still has the power to heal and deliver and we just have to be open to that. And no I don't know all the answers why some get healed and some don't but we have to believe in Jesus and that He is still the same Jesus He was when He walked this earth. And keep our eyes on Him and we will never be disapointed or lead astray.
