I am not sure what the request for updates means.
I may not hear from Sheryl again as is often the case.

However, there may be other similar testimonies from time to time.

My site list a number of miracle healing testimonies/

Well, when He healed my cancer, He said, "I have given you three prizes.  The third prize is the healing of your cancer.
the second prize is being delivered from spirits of fear and doubt.  The first prize is going from knowing about Me to knowing me. Full story at : http://home.san.rr.com/healing/mystory.htm

Being now age 90 and somewhat limited, I have found the internet a way to "go into all the world" and share the gospel.
I have had hits to my website from dozens of countries.

I have found that praying by telephone for those requesting it works.

However, I still teach a class on healing once a week.
Mark 16:18 is our theme text.

I realize the nine spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit are the subject of much debate. (I Cor. 12-14)
But to me they are the objective evidence of the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit.
The manifestations of these gifts in my experience is all the proof I need.

My understanding is there will be a judgment day for Christians but not as to their salvation.
It wil be a works judgment as to their reward or their rank in Christ's army when He returns with his church to rule with a rod of iron.
See
1Cor. 3:12-15
2Cor. 5:10
Romans 14:10

As I understand "knowing" it is something that is based on experience.  Believing is based on faith.

I personally went from knowing about Jesus to knowing him just as I would go from knowing about someone to actually knowing them personally.  
How this came about is documented in my testimony at:
http://home.san.rr.com/healing/mystory.htm
I invite you all to read it.

I understand that there has been not letup in the charismatic movement within the Catholic church.  Although it started there, it is now estimated there are over 250,000,000 "charismatics" worldwide.  One of the fastest growing denominations is the Assemblies of God, which is Pentecostal or charismatic.
As I understand the meaning of the word "baptism" it means to immerse or dip.  Therefore the prefered expression seems to be baptism in the Holy Spirit.  Baptism by the Holy Spirit suggests that the Holy Spirit is the baptizer when it actually is Jesus.  Baptism with the Holy Spirit suggests it is a joint experience.
However, what is most importand is to understand its purpose.  John 7:37-39 are the verses I use when praying with someone to receive it.  Pentecost is what empowered the early church to preach the gospel.  I see no less need today.

I am always sincere but I do like to chide.

There seems to be more warnings than words of encouragement about this that i am trying to balance out.

Yes, I agree there have been some extremes in the charismtic movement since God does not require maturity nor emotional stability.  Maturity and understanding can come later.  I have been involved in having been baptized in the Holy Spirit for now 26 years and I have never seen the extremes you refer to.  However, I have seen many who lives were miraculous transformed as attested to in my website.

All He requires is obedience - to be thirsty.  John7:37-39

I think it is tragic that so few can turn off so many.

I just read there are an estimated 150,000,000 charismatic Catholics.  How many are there who have discredited the movement by their lack of judgement?

Thank you for your response.
May I ask you how could become an ex?
Scriptures say the gifts of God are without repentence.

I do not recall anyone ever saying they were ex- charismatic.

I am using the term "charismatic" as having been baptized in the Holy Spirit by the Baptizer, Jesus Christ.

Can one become unbaptized?

thanks again for your response.  I am here to learn.

This is just to check being notified

Is being non-charismatic merely a "Declaration of Independence" or are there Scriptural reasons for not wanting to be so?  Is being ignorant justified?
This is a sincere question since it may come up in our Bible class.

Thank you for your kind words.
I have just prayed for tigerlily.
I always recommend those seeking healing to work through the page, "Barriers to Healing" at http://home.san.rr.com/healing/barriers.htm
Is there any way of knowing if it helped?

Thanks again, Hal

If you are referrring to the Coronado Dell hotel, here is where it is.  It is a landmark.
Thanks for your post.

God loves you, hal

p.s. My eye doctor recommended a thin screen monitor since it is easier on the eyes.  I am on my computer several hours each day and it doesn't seem any more tiring than reading.
