What I mean is if I know that Scripture tells me to heal the sick (which it does) and I know that God is the one who does that through me as His co-worker...but I don't have confidence in Him, then I can pray for people and they will never get healed because I am not really praying in faith, believing that it will happen.

Surely that includes self right? Thanks. that's a bit difficult to answer, pops...because Scripture tells us in several places that God ordained teachers in the church...it is as much a ministerial office as is pastor, evangelist, and prophet. The problem that most widely appears today, is people calling themselves teachers of Scripture who God never called into that specific ministry, they called themselves out of pride or ego or whatever. When God calls someone into one of the five-fold church leadership ministries (apostle [today's missionary], prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher) He ordains and qualifies them for the specific ministry He has called them into, gifting them with the specific necessary abilities that are required for the person to be able to do that job. Unfortunately today, there are many who call themselves pastors and teachers who God never called, so they do not have the God-given qualifications or gifts or ability to be ABLE to do that job right. This is one reason we have so many false teachings floating around the church landscape today. .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless you want to continue with your conversations, you can close this thread (I don't know if you do that here, but in other places they do). Thanks again, blessings! ..

That GOD will indeed provide our lack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would never place self above even the lowest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
