It too has become a tradition like "pleading the Blood." I am sure that your grandmother was a godly woman and saw many prayers answered over the course of her serving the Lord, but I have to confess that I really believe that the Lord answered some of those prayer in spite of her laying out a fleece or pleading the Blood not because of it.
Consistently throughout the Bible God calls for more than one "witness" to something before it can be established. For instance, a person's guilt could not be established if there were only one witness against them. There had to be 2 or three. In the case of 2 Cor 13:1, Paul says let everything be established out of the mouth of 2 or three witnesses. Laying out a fleece occurred once. Pleading the Blood never really appears. Peter, Paul, John and James never did it. If it was such a powerful tool wouldn't it be in the New Testament somewhere?
As I am teaching this on Wednesday nights, I am not attacking anyone who chooses to believe these things, I just am asking them to think about what they do and if there is a Scriptural reason for it. It is dangerous to establish doctrines or practices based on a one time occurrence in the Bible.
Hope this helps and thank you for your response to the blog entry.
God's best blessings to you,
Jerry]]>Comment on It's not that I like being controversial, but....; more great questions; can you believe this? and cravings.tag:blog.destinyag.org,2008-04-14:968451Teresahttp://www.google.com2008-04-14T10:59:23Z2008-04-14T10:59:23ZComment on It's not that I like being controversial, but....; more great questions; can you believe this? and cravings.tag:blog.destinyag.org,2008-04-11:962765Allen2008-04-11T13:36:29Z2008-04-11T13:36:29Z Don't forget about the ol' practice of "laying out a fleece"(powerful way to test God's will...or Christian superstition??) to see what the Lord wants you to do...:)]]>
