The Gold dust prayer meeting


I heard this strange story from a Christian pastor, and he told me he heard this story from someone he knew very well, and he told me it happened only a few years ago, I went to investigate about this strange story. I also heard something about it from another person, a few days ago, I believe some one is trying to tell me that the story happened. Let me conveyed to you what I heard, about a strange prayer meeting and strange phenomena and strange gospel are all about.

Few years ago, a group of Christian leaders conducted a prayer meeting, a strange thing happened during that prayer meeting, gold dust were found on the people who were praying in that prayer meeting, and a prophecy was told among them, that "revival must come to the country through them!"

My dear, I never come across anything like this, gold dust fallen from thin air onto the Christian who were praying, even from page one to last page in the Bible, I never see anything like this before in the church history, correct me if I am wrong!

These church leaders believed God must bless Christian materially, Christianity must comes together with health and wealth, if you are poor, materially, then you must check your salvation! They believe in the Gospel of wealth and health. Faith and Word movement!

I spend few years, in testing this phenomena of "gold dust" and the prophecy that "revival must come though them." What I found out about these Christian leaders. Did they become richer or healthier? Maybe or maybe not. Did revival come through them to the country? Let me continue with my study with this "health and wealth" teaching in these churches.

One day, I visited a friend, he is not a believer, he told me, he was invited to go to a church, because the church will bless him with wealth and health, he told me, he was invited to such a church, because the people there told him, God is able to bless his business if he believe in God, nothing about sinner seeking repentance or seeking the salvation from God.

It is true after some investigations, the churches which believed in that "revival must come through them," preached and stressed more and more about wealth and health rather than telling people about the simple plan of salvation from Jesus Christ. To them the health and wealth are the biggest attraction to the world, so they preached the messagse of health and wealth, health and wealth must come to the hearers before they are asked to receive the gospel, both must come before salvation. This is the kind of gospel and revival they sought and preached until today.

Another day, I was invited to another prayer meeting, this time we come together to pray for a sick woman, and she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and her husband is a pastor, he prayed for her, then the husband requested the leaders also pray for his wife, the husband asked the wife to stand in front the leaders and elders, and he rebuked his wife openly, saying that, his wife has no faith in God, that is why her sickness was not healed by God. I was shocked and stunned to hear such a words came out from a pastor in a prayer meeting asking for healing, from a pastor who does believed, preached the gospel of "health and wealth," a pastor who believed in "revival must come through them!"

I was sad to see the wife was rebuked in such a way in her last moment on earth, in her sickness and pains, after toiling and living together with her husband for so many years, now because of her breast cancer, she was rebuked by her husband pastor publicly, that she has no faith in God.

I am very sad and disturb to see a husband did that to a sick wife! What a cruel hate in him to her! This is the pastor who preached the gospel health and wealth, this is the pastor once preached that "revival must come through them not through other!" What a prayer meeting! This event haunted me for many years in my family life! Hate and cruel hidden behind the love of God! failing in healing is sign of no faith in God. What a testing to us!

During the first particular strange prayer meeting I heard earlier, gold dust was found on them, and they believed that is a sign from God. A blessing from God. Some one prophecy during that prayer meeting.

What may happened to that prayer meeting actually. I supposed someone felt good about the finding of the gold dust on them, and he or she prophecies something which was making people to feel good about themselves, unreasonable and to mislead the hearers, so and I proposed that prophecies has no basis at all.

Secondly, I supposed someone had secretly thrown some gold dust to them when they were praying with eyes closed, that is why we heard about that strange phenomena gold dust from God. With further investigations, I proposed to them that incident had nothing to do with the prophecy followed.

I proposed that particular sign and wonder, in that prayer meeting was man made, it is fake, gold dust was not a sign from God. Gold dust is misleading, some of them was cheated indirectly, gold dust indicating God is going to bless them with wealth! The love of the money is evil. See how much troubles in pursuing wealth....the thorns choked the spiritual growth of a saint.

Who know what actually happened in that prayer meeting? That prophecy needed time to be proven true, time will tell us, weather "revival came to them first or not," does revival come in "health" and "wealth?" Revival comes by gold dust?

Churches in the end time are seeking revival from God, and prophecy comes even with gold dust, some of them claimed that revival must come through them first, this is quite a proud statement, why not other, but why must come through them first, and then to other? Why they claimed like this, is it because of a small bottle of gold dust? Why we have to believe in a lie like this without further investigation? A bottle of gold dust cost how much to the church?

My dear, true health, true wealth, true sign and true wonders, all come from God, these things cannot saved any one on earth. But Jesus Christ is! Nothing can separate a man from the love from God, God is love.

Romans 8:28-39

More Than Conquerors
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

May God heal us, and provide us with true richness, Amen!
