The Word of Faith Movement.
” The Word of Faith Movement ” is a rather vague term about a rather vague movement that generates two extremes positions in The Body of Christ. One extreme is that by the power of our own words we can have anything we desire and actually create the results. This is nothing more than the spirit of witchcraft. Answers to our prayers have nothing to do with the power of our words and creative ability. Answered prayers are the result of a loving Father and His faithfulness to His promises. A mustard seed of faith is all that is required on our part. The other extreme is that God wills His children to be destitute and sick and it is wrong of us to ask for anything. Neither of these positions represent “The Truth” spelled out in The Holy Scriptures.
The multitude of promises, in The Holy Bible, show us the heart of The Father. No one desires to bless you more than God. He however desires one thing above all else. That is fellowship. ” The Word of Faith ” movement, for the most part, is not wrong in its theology. It has a wrong heart.
Before asking Father for anything, answer the following hypothetical question. Would you be totally satisfied walking alone down a country road, talking with Jesus sunrise to sunset, for the rest of your life. If the answer is yes, then your heart is right. Ask freely for anything He has promised and He will give it. If your answer is no, then your heart is wrong. You will be asking amiss for selfish gain. You love the world more than Jesus. Repent and ask The Father to deliver you.
