The holy spirit not only loves them, he likes them.
There’s testimony that a woman who wears dentures is experiencing her teeth growing back. We don’t see it, but if we see arms and legs growing back, then I’ll pay closer attention.
Most likely these “healings” are temporary manifestations of mind over matter.

And/or not even true. There’s no way to document and verify any of it. Most likely, if it’s not a brain-buzz, it’s their 15 minutes of fame. Will this stuff ever end?
It’s lead by a guy named Mike Bickle and it’s purpose is to pray non-stop to hasten the return of Christ.
Isn’t this a bit presumptuous ?
If gentle Jesus, meek and mild is good and ready to start kicking ass and taking names, it will surely be at the time of His choosing.
Surely he needs no encouragement from us lowly sinners.
It strikes me as odd that few believers seem willing to deem such supplications blasphemous or damnatory.
The fundamentalists, such as this bunch of oddballs, do us the service of reminding the more alert members of the populace that Christianity at its core is a rather unsavory and maladaptive end-of-the-world cult.

Thanks again to Rab for alerting us. I was very disturbed by the following.
IHOP has a “Children’s Equipping Center,” which, according to the Web site, seeks to mold a million children to lead the next generation, by empowering them “with DNA components that produce in them a holy passion.”
Question I have is “where’s the money?” These miracle cure scams have been going on for many years, at one time in revivalist tents, where “Miracles” were common. Somewhere in all the hype someone is getting rich on this, in the kind of payment you can put in a bank. Got little to do with religion, that’s just the cover and scam.
Used to be called “conversion hysteria,” and Goodness gracious, some folks have been healed of the same affliction repeatedly in different places, sometimes by the same man. The evidence debunking this scam has been out there for years, but it is a sad commentary that these scams continue, exploiting mainly the poor, ignorant, and desperate. Exploiting them for money.
I think that what they get out of it is their buttons get pushed. Neurologically, like gambling addicts, hooked on no real external substance but on the secretions of their own brain. Learn to pray just right and it hit’s their dopamine receptors, from there it’s just rats pushing levers for a fix.
The cult will be hosting a four day event focusing on praying to rid the planet of abortion and gay marriage. They also had to cancel classes because the holy spirit was on a roll.
Obviously they can’t multi-task ... and if four days doesn’t rid the planet of abortion and gay marriage, how long into the non-stop rapture gig before somebody says, “Hey, wait a minute ...!?!”
