No, sir, you have not moved a mountain. You may think you have solved problems, or resolved conflicts, or dealt with some other difficult matters and doing so constitutes "moving mountains", but you have never moved a mountain.

YES I have and do it daily! Sorry, to hear your life is so difficult.

When you have done so, get back to us.

You mean you, not us. Who would ever want to get back to the faithless? "Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to HIM must believe that He exists and that HE rewards those who earnestly seek HIM." Heb 11:6

And, if you think that Paul meant "all things" as in lift the Empire State building, then you have demonstrated a complete disregard for the context of these writings. You are dangerous.

God has not put the desire in me to lift the Empire State building as it wouldn't give HIM glory. Why would something of destruction come to your mind? Destruction comes from the evil one. REPENT and CHOOSE LIFE! If not, one goes into default mode which is death/destruction.

Your fanciful hermeneutic allows for the Bible to be teaching most anything. It does not.

And yours hermeneutic shows a complete lack of faith. God's Word teaches what HE wants us to know through the Holy Spirit. Believe, repent and then get caught up. Your choice!

However, those for whom its message is hidden will claim all sort of kooky understandings. Your work is in that category.

There is nothing hidden - only to those void of the Spirit and that is where you fit in.

"The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Cor 2:16

One void of The Spirit making a suggestion? LOL!! I suggest you take a long course in good biblical interpretation. I see where the long course got you. Get your money back!

However, God may not permit you to see any clearer than you do now.

I see the have and the have nots and the reason why!

"But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for MY power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9

Thank YOU, JESUS!!

Well, there's only one way to start this conversation: with Scripture that is rightly divided.

"NOW faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things NOT SEEN." Heb. 11:1.

The "NOW" that is written is the "BUT NOW" of Ephesians 2:13. We do not walk by sight NOW, but by faith. Our conversation is in the heavenlies, where Christ is seated by God the Father. We are to look UP, not around, for our faith. This does not mean that God does not answer prayers, or provide miracles NOW. It DOES mean that He performs them according to His will, not our commands. He does not have "healers" that operate in this age of grace. THere is no man that is greater than another in this age. We are all equal and everything that He does is according to His good will and reasons. Not because some man claims God heals through him.
