Tracy it says all promises “in Him”. All the promises that were made in Him are fulfilled. Jesus was the fulfillment of the Messiah promises. This is not telling you can take any promise made anywhere in the Bible and claim it for yourself. Faith is required to make God happy. But our faith does not motivate God. Your faith that God is going to give you something does not make God give it to you. If He did He would be nothing more than a butler and you would be a spoiled brat. You can have faith all day for a car but that doesn’t make God give me you car. He might know you need to exercise and you need to walk, or he wants you to witness to the a car pool buddy. God has never promises your hearts desires he promised that “all things would work together for good of those who love God, to those called according to His purpose.” Rom 8:28 We do not control God nor are to be presumptuous. You quote Heb 11:6 that God is a rewarder of those the diligent seek him. Your not talking about seeking God here your talking about seeking what God will give you. There is a world of difference here. All the other verses you quoted refer clearly to promise of salvation, how do you take that to say he will honor for you a promise he made to Abraham about fathering a child when you 100? Now if God says he will provide YOU a car, then you need to have faith until you see that come to pass. Actually I got whatever “He pleases” from Psalm 115:3 But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases. and Psalm 135:6 Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps. Tracy as far as you proving we are heirs of Abraham your right and what are the blessings of Abraham? The Messiah and Salvation! Look at Hebrews 11 Abraham never even own a strip of land save the burial plot he bought for Sarah. Abraham was looking for the Messiah and Heaven not things of this life. He claimed to be a pilgrim and alien, that he didn’t belong on earth, his home, his treasure, his hope, was in heaven. And that my dear friend is what pleased God so much about Abraham. Tracy you have been feed bad theology and I suspect it is from Word of Faith teaching, you need to read Hank Hanegraaff’s book Christianity in Crisis. Believe me it will do you a world of good. Be Blessed and be a blessing Ed |

Ed, Now I understand that we will never agree if you like Hank. Why dont you try The blood covenant by E.W. Kenyon. | ||||||

Read it! Also read New Creation Realities and The Father and His family both by E. W. Kenyon. And all of Bosworth for that matter. Have you read Hanegraaff? I will guess not. You have been told it will steal your faith. Isn't interesting how we can be controlled while it appears we are being protected? Did you know Mr. E. W. Kenyon was up to his neck in the metaphysical? That is not rumor that is fact and if you don't see how that effected his teaching then you don't understand or appreciate the metaphysical philosophy. Your right we will never agree my God is the Sovereign Lord yours is one that must submit to your faith. Mine is true, yours was invented by the minds of men like Kenyon. |
