Matt 7:21-23 21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name?
23 And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands]. [Ps 6:8.] AMP
Matt 25:32-26:1 32 All nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them [the people] from one another as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats; [Ezek 34:17.]
33 And He will cause the sheep to stand at His right hand, but the goats at His left.
34 Then the King will say to those at His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father [you favored of God and appointed to eternal salvation], inherit (receive as your own) the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you brought Me together with yourselves and welcomed and entertained and lodged Me,
36 I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me with help and ministering care, I was in prison and you came to see Me. [Isa 58:7.]
37 Then the just and upright will answer Him, Lord, when did we see You hungry and gave You food, or thirsty and gave You something to drink?
38 And when did we see You a stranger and welcomed and entertained You, or naked and clothed You?
39 And when did we see You sick or in prison and came to visit You?
40 And the King will reply to them, Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least [in the estimation of men] of these My brethren, you did it for Me. [Prov 19:17.]
41 Then He will say to those at His left hand, Begone from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels!
42 For I was hungry and you gave Me no food, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink,
43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome Me and entertain Me, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me with help and ministering care.
44 Then they also [in their turn] will answer, Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?
45 And He will reply to them, Solemnly I declare to you, in so far as you failed to do it for the least [in the estimation of men] of these, you failed to do it for Me. [Prov 14:31; 17:5.]
46 Then they will go away into eternal punishment, but those who are just and upright and in right standing with God into eternal life. [Dan 12:2.] AMP
Taken literally, it would seem that these passages indicate that the LORD Jesus places a higher premium on our seeing to our neighbors practical needs (food, clothing, shelter, shelter and fellowship) than exercising the spiritual gifts of prophecy, deliverance and the working of all kind of miracles.
In fact it would seem if one were to have to choose between the two, wisdom would suggest that it would be better to look for opportunities to demonstrate lovingkindness than to raise some one from the dead.
But we do not not have to choose between the two. We only have to be obedient to what Holy Spirit is saying in the now.
If we are walking in the Spirit it will be no more a test of our obedience to give a man our favorite jacket than to command his blind eyes or deaf ears to see/hear.
One will flow as naturally as the other.

Great job! (The look on Pelosi’s face is priceless).
Great find Jill!
If we could look into the spirit realm, I believe we would see the hoardes of Hell coming against the Stupak 12, applying tremendous pressure to cave to the pro-death mob.
May Almighty God strengthen them for battle.
Interesting you’d comment that, Ed, since when I signed over at StandWithStupak.com earlier (thanks, FedUp!), I closed my brief note with 2 Kings 6:16!
Contact these swing members of congress whose policy platform is fiscal conservatism:

The budget projection on this health care reform bill is filled with gimmicks and voodoo economics. Any business that handled their books this way would be jailed for running a ponzi scheme.
The 10 years projected deficit cost of anything passed through reconciliation CANNOT be over a trillion dollars so what kind of shell games do they play?
1) Steal half a trillion dollars from Medicaid and claim that somehow doesn’t count toward cost for “the plan”.
2)Start taxing us and cutting Medicare benefits immediately but only paying out health care benefits for six years of their ten years of projected cost.
They only pay out health benefits benefits for six of the first ten years they tax us, but it still comes out to a trillion dollar deficit over ten years. The Democratic leadership is corrupting the legislative process with backroom deals and adding rules like the infamous “Slaughter” rule that somehow passes the Senate health bill in the House without congress ever needing to vote on it prior to the president signing it. They are using 500 billion dollars from the Medicaid trust fund and using it to make it look like this isn’t creating as big a deficit. A that 500 billion to the actual projected government deficit of one trillion and the cost of this program is 1.5 trillion dollars over six years. Another four years at the same annual deficit rate would project another trillion dollars to the ten year cost projection. So the REAL total deficit of running this program at CBO projected costs would be about 250 billion dollars per year. And you should expect those annual costs to balloon over next ten years.
Besides the budget financial hardships that this health care reform bill would bring on future generations; I also object to the following four provisions:
1) The plan steals half a trillion dollars from the people who paid into the Medicaid fund.
2) Mandates payment of monthly health contract premiums to government or face fines and imprisonment.
3) Places tax increases on the private plans that are not part of the government exchange.
4) Government funding of abortion.
The US health care system is already the best in the world. Even without medical insurance this lady in Ohio with leukemia is getting better care than peoples of Canada or England receive from their nationally subsidized health system. Health care reform needs to be done in a fiscally responsible and an honest way. I hope and I pray that the Blue Dog Democrats vote their creed of fiscal responsibility.
Sincerely,
Great scripture klynn!
Nice analysis ts’r!
Let’s rout ’em!
One more thing I don’t like about this bill. It lowers the amount individuals can put into a tax-deferred health savings account! They think they can spend our health care more efficiently then we can spend it. Ugh That is just so wrong to be put in a health care reform bill that is supposed to ease the pain of our health costs.
