    True, true!

    This entire video is ignoring one HUGE point. All humans (aside from Jesus) have sinned, therefore, all humans deserve the wrath of God by default. Me and my family, you and your family, Simon Peter and his family all deserve to be separate from God in hell by default. The thing that gets in the way of the default position is Jesus taking the punishment for our sins. And the reason that we don’t question whether God’s judgment is good or not is because of His track record of having good judgment, which is recorded in the Bible. Here’s a passage of Scripture that directly correlates with this subject: ‭
    Matthew 12:46-50 AMPC‬
    [46] Jesus was still speaking to the people when behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to Him. [47] Someone said to Him, Listen! Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to You. [48] But He replied to the man who told Him, Who is My mother, and who are My brothers? [49] And stretching out His hand toward [not only the twelve disciples but all] His adherents, He said, Here are My mother and My brothers. [50] For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother!

    This is very similar to what J. Warner of Cold Case Christianity said.

    This is another amazing testimony! Notice how he says the healing did not happen immediately because God needed to heal his heart first, then He could heal his body.

    I agree with Ruslan, this is a little ridiculous. 😂

    This is a great discussion!

    This is one of the very few messages that Paul Washer has preached that I have some level of disagreement with, though, I’ll start with the things that I loved/agreed with the most in this message.
    I love how he specifically says that, while he wants to give people a very important message, he also does not want to heap condemnation on anyone who is already struggling with this subject. A lot of church hurt and misunderstanding would completely evaporate if all preachers started hard teachings off with this sentiment. He also, almost immediately after saying that, says that there are times and seasons of prayer, giving the example of him not praying quite as much as he used to, but in those times he’s studying more than he was when he was praying more. I understand EXACTLY what he’s talking about, but I didn’t realize it until he said it. I would add that this doesn’t apply to just prayer, but also to almost anything that you are doing for the Lord.
    Now, we’ll move into the things in this message I’m not so fond of.
    He mentions that in Luke 11:1, Jesus is praying to the Father and after He finishes, one of the disciples asked to be taught how to pray. Brother Washer goes on to say that there is no evidence in the gospels that the disciples ever asked Jesus to teach them how to cast out demons or resurrect the dead, which he thinks implies that Jesus’s prayers were more awe-inspiring than His miracles (Paul Washer saying this, at the very least, implies that he believes that seeking out the spiritual gifts is less important than seeking out biblical prayer). I believe that, while you can’t cast out demons if you don’t know how to pray, I wouldn’t say that one is more awe-inspiring than the other. I believe that they are equally as breath-taking, we shouldn’t put one above the other. Later, Brother Washer talks about this man who started learning under him and was converted from Charismatic teachings. This man told him one day that when he was part of the Charismatic movement, someone would say that they needed financial or medical help, and then they’d pray and fast and they would end up with victory after victory because of it. But under Paul Washer’s teachings, the man said that he’s learned to become passive and write everything off to the sovereignty of God and he’s saddened by that. He asks if that’s what they’re supposed to do and Paul doesn’t give his response, but instead says “Talk about a wake up call” (implying he believes that it is). I would, again say that it’s both. You’re supposed to lay hands on people and FORCE yourself, no matter how hard it is, to be humble and say that you didn’t do any of the work, God did it all. Almost every thing else, I agree with and this is a fantastic teaching!
