Whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me, and
whoever does not take up his cross and come after me is not worthy of
me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my
sake will find it. I had wonderful fellowship with this brother.

We've seen the power of God. We've seen the evil spirits come out,
people writhing like snakes on the ground. We've seen people get set
free, and then there was a prophetic word that came.

This brother had a gift. He could look at people, read their mail, and
the secrets of men's hearts would be revealed, and people would fall on
the ground and repent. But God doesn't say that the gifts commend us to
God.

It's the fruit that commends us to God. He says, my father is glorified
when you bear much fruit, and your fruit remains. Not that you can
prophesy with 100% accuracy, or that you can preach to the winds and men
cry out, what shall we do?
