@Melinda Parry Very cool. I love how you have real consistancy in your life. Melinda what I am about to relate to you is not to bring condemnation. For all I know you may have experienced tongues yourself. I just want to share my experience with you. As I said in my testimony above, I was raised a Baptist but now believe in the Bible as a whole without limitation. I know there is a contraversy within the Baptist church about speaking in tongues but, having experienced it myself, I know it to be a real thing. I believe there are some who do it in error because they do not fully understand it and Satan likes to trick us in every way possible, including this. But for the most part I have complete faith in it's existance today because I have done it. I don't say that to brag because I don't do it as regularly as most of those around me. One of my life heroes is the Baptist Pastor who baptized me. He left the Baptist church because he was convicted and convinced of the truth about Speaking in tungues and all the things that go along with it. He started teaching about it as a Pentacostal Preacher until he passed on to be with God. I encourage you to study it out and focus on it's purpose as stated in Acts 1:8, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." (NIV) This is the key purpose of having the Holy Spirit come on us, to gain the power to become his witnesses. There is more to it but this is the base reason. And as with those of that time it was seperate from the initial indwelling as when we get saved. I have had instances of the baptism coming over me without even expecting it and I know it was to help me speak what was needed in the moment and to speak in the spiritual realm to address whatever that was. I rarely speak outloud in the spirit but it is not unheard of. Please pray and seek the heart of God in this matter.
I made it through my procedure on Friday.
And I only had to spend one night in the hospital. They corrected one blockage with a medicated baloon but did not place a stent this time.

Thanks for keeping me in your prayers, brother.
Please pray for me.
I am going in to have an Angiogram by way of catherization so they can see what state my heart is in. This will be on Friday morning Arizona time 8:30 am. I have been through this proceedure many times but it is always under some risk. I only ended up in ICU one time as a result. Please pray for me. Thank you.

@Melinda Parry Thanks.
What was the real reason Jesus drove them out of the Temple?
I know it is long but I think you will see it is worth the read. Ask any bible scholar the reason Jesus drove the money changers out of the temple and you will get an answer like one of the ones I got from Google (paraphrased): “Exploitation: Merchants charged unfair, inflated prices. Desecration of Holy Space: Commerce took place in the Court of the Gentiles—the only area in the temple complex where non-Jews were allowed to gather and pray. Filling this sacred space with animals, noise, and trading made prayer and worship impossible for outsiders. Corrupt Leadership: The high priests and religious authorities permitted and profited from this corruption” But what if there was more to it than that? When Jesus entered the temple, He had full knowledge that the reason He came to be with us and teach us how to live with one another was to end with Him becoming the sacrifice that would end all need for more sacrifice. When he was looking around and seeing how trivial we make something as important as the sacrifice that cleanses our souls and makes us worthy of entering into eternity with Him, did He see that many would see His sacrifice in the same trivial way? Did it hurt Him to know that many would accept His sacrifice in a similar trivial manner and turn away, time and time again, at the slightest temptation? Will we end up being driven from the temple on the day of judgement because of our exploitation, our desecration of the Holy Sacrifice, our corrupt handling and trivializing of the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf, once and for all? I guess this is a call to really consider the importance of the price Jesus paid. Let's honor His sacrifice by making it more than a trivial moment in our lives. Let’s not consider in our hearts that we can just return to the temple and make another payment for our own sins. Let’s turn with commitment to the one who paid for our sins with His very life and suffering and never make it a trivial thing by turning back to the sins that we have asked Him to free us from.
