Chris:

No, this wasn't what I am saying. All I am saying is that I will not allow a
stranger, a person that I don't know, to lay hands on me. Now I cannot stop
a person from praying for me. Just like Timothy prayed for me earlier. I
appreciate his concern for myself. And some of his prayer I received.
Another part, I didn't feel that it applied, although his sincerity, I do
not take for granted.

I am very aware of the many tele-evangelists who have been exposed over the
years for fraud. However, one cannot assume that this is the way they all
operate. I attended a Benny Hinn crusade in Long Beach, CA in 1993. I was
sitting in front of some people who came from Africa. Since We were there 2
hours before the crusade began, I began to make conversation with these
people. Their son, whom they brought to receive a miracle, was blind. I
guess he was only 12 years old. During the service, towards the part where
Pastor Benny prays one prayer for healing and miracles, with my own eyes, I
saw this boy jump up and scream, "I see, I see, I see..." It was obvious
that he received his miracle without anyone laying hands on him.

Yes, people must release their faith when they pray. But to answer your
original comments about "God is no match to the spirits..." this wasn't what
I was trying to convey. I hope that this will clarify any misunderstandings.
Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4.
Thanks for your comments.
