IOW, when on the brink of death, why not just name and claim life and you would never die? Great point! For that matter, why not just go to the graveyard and name and claim them all back to life? Or go to the hospitals and clear them out by claiming healing for all the patients? The most telling for me is that Paul did not "name and claim" healing for the "thorn in his side." Or even for Timothy's stomach problems. Or in Daniel 3:17-18 which says: "If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and He will rescue us from your hands, O King. But even if He does not we want you to know, O King, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it goes hand in hand with the prosperity gospel preachers who claim God wants all believers rich. They pretty much turn God into a genie who grants whatever they ask for as long as they claim it in Jesus' name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it Biblical or not? not, being that everything (except Gods unconditional love for us) has conditions on it..... even our salvation is conditional, we have to accept the gift..... as far as other stuff, we are instructed how that is to come about, and it has nothing to do the blabbing it and grabbing it.... seek ye FIRST................THEN................ (CONDITION...) IF, THEN constitutes condition.... when it is said that He will give us the desires of our hearts, what is really meant? if we are truely following HIM, then the desires of our heart are no longer about us, it is about Christ and those that we are to be serving, those lost souls and bringing them to Christ, not about a car, or phone or junk like that, but eternal desires..... mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone explain this movement? Jesus always taught the will of the Father and never of man. When He spoke about praying and believing, He was teaching that if we are praying Gods will into our life, believe it will happen and it will. It has nothing to do with asking for a million dollars and believing we will have it, that you will get the money. It is always about what Gods will is for us.

Can someone explain this movement? it is out of context is what is happening, they have left out the condition that was set upon us... man.... part is our faith, another part, is (just waht is listed here) IF YOU HOLD ANYTHING AGAINST ANYONE, FORGIVE HIM..... hmmm forgiveness.... how many here are holding unforgiveness????? how many here have offended their brother and have failed to go to their brother and make ammends???? conditions..... mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
