A BIG question Christians need to ask/answer for themselves...

Have the gifts of prophesy/healing/tongues ceased? (are you a cessationist?) or do they continue? (are you a continuist?).

WARNING: This is a rabbit hole and a poke-the-bear kind of topic....

@Angela Linville

challenged me to broach this... so here we go 🐻

Like a lot of our spiritual growth, this topic might be a journey in and of itself to land on your stance on this... you may be on a continuum.

Why is this important?

I believe as we march toward end times and as we are in the Hebrew year of the Door, that the veil between the natural and spiritual is thinning and we are going to see more and more "signs and wonders" both from the dark and from the light (from God and not from God).

I encourage you to get with God and our Bible and an open heart/mind on this.

Here's one person who has done a deep dive on the topic-- it's a review/rebuttal of the documentary about cessationists (those who believe these gifts have ceased). I confess I have not watched the whole thing... but it seems to be a balanced and Biblical and gospel centered approach and possible a good starting point for you if you do not have an answer to this question or want to reaffirm or decide where you stand.
