1. The Anvil Acts 4:1-31 2. Our concept Please stand And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. 3.

The Gifts of the Spirit are Available Today

-
I came across an article some years ago stating that the gifts of the Holy Spirit had ceased to operate for around 1,900 years. You can imagine my surprise. So I formulated my response mentally and filed it away for future use. Well lo and behold I have come across this phenomenon again and it’s called Cessationism. This time I’ll put my thoughts down for your enrichment or perhaps your aggravation. I was intrigued by the title of the article, “7 Biblical Arguments for Cessationism.”   I expected a frenzy of scriptures and proof texting but sadly there was none. I will summarize their points and offer my counter to their arguments based on the principle of the witness of 2 or 3 scriptures. This should take a couple of days.

Matthew 14:23 (NASB95) 23 After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone. If Jesus took off time then what makes us think that we don't have to? I believe that it was part of his regular discipline.  John 6:15 b [Jesus] , withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone. Not just a day off but to be alone wit
