Excellent topic, biblical and wonderfully Pentecostal by its very nature! Still a slow reader in English, I read it again and am going to read it to my sons and a daughter tonight!

Dear brother, I totally agree with you that we should bless others, and even our enemies. In fact, a very good example of how to bless our enemies can be seen in Luke 23:34 and Acts 7:60, when both Jesus and Stephen asked God to forgive their enemies and not to charge them with their sin of murder… But there is a big difference between God’s blessing and man’s blessing. Anyway, I just wanted to share with you what the Holy Spirit had taught me. Daniel, why don’t you ask the Lord about it?

Hi Olga…I say “Bless you” all the time and feel that it is very Biblical. In fact we are commanded to bless others…even our enemies (Rom 12:14).

Love it! Keep preaching, I believe God will raise the generation to follow Him and not the patterns of fleshly church!

It is tempting to place the Holy Spirit into the limits of our human understanding. However, life is much more fun riding His wind. Amen.

When Paul writes, “Let all things be done decently and in order”, he is not not referring to absolute control by a church leader. Paul also is not saying about a pre-planned order for a church service. But rather, he is saying: to be a vessel that the Holy Spirit can flow through. When we are moving by the Holy Spirit, every time we come togethere there will be order and purpose. But the order will come from God, not from us.
Like you, I am also concerned about those abusing the presence of the Holy Spirit. Also, I'm concerned about the Christians who often say “Bless you” instead of “May God bless you”. I wonder if they realize what they saying. Are they really able to bless someone?!
May God bless you richly!
