We ALL were given this ability through acceptance of Jesus as our savior. But the enemy has been very organized in distracting is from this truth. I'm in the process of developing this ability myself but it involves a higher level of comprehension on God's true power. I've learned so much in the last year and feel confident I'll get there but I'd be nowhere without the Holy Spirit guiding me.
Yes Wendy what you said is very true. The lowest of the low come into the kingdom more easily and therefore often poor Christian pastors are accused of offering them money and material to convert them, which is not true. God has chosen the lowly, the poor and the foolish. His heart breaks for them. Praise the Lord.
Weeping while I read this! I love the delivery of the Gadarene demoniac, by the power of Christ, one of my favorite stories of Jesus! Funny, that after the man was delivered and set free, the neighbors asked Christ to LEAVE...too much stirring of their pot, I guess.
In India , I have read that the lowest of the low in the caste system, are sometimes so drawn to Christ and His immense LOVE for them. Christ ministered so heartily to the downtrodden, the poor, the brokenhearted! The lowest, the deplorables, the cast-offs, the hated, His compassion so overwhelmed them and they repented of sin and came gladly in to His Kingdom. It is NOT your money, your looks, your sexy, your power, your influence, God looks on the HEART. This is why we love Him so deeply, as He saw all our flaws and failures and loved us all the way through them and into Glory! Wendy
