1 | Which teaching | Matt 14:29 | mbooker | 65733 | ||
What specific teaching needs correcting using this passage of scripture? I ask the question because I do not want to make assumptions as to what teaching you are referring to :) | ||||||
2 | Which teaching | Matt 14:29 | Pastor Glenn | 65835 | ||
mbooker, Be warned that this is a subject that some on this forum hate. Any study of faith healing or miracles of faith is labeled by some as giving credibility to Word of Faith theology. It is said that Word of Faith teachings today 1. tries to tell God what He must do for us. 2. says that our words are containers that give us power to change reality whether God wants us to or not. 3. says simply "name it and claim it" prosperity. 4. says to pray "thy will be done" is a sin. Even after I denied all of these teachings, I have been accused of being stubborn and ignorant for not reading more books about these false teachings. I chose Matthew 14:29 as a starting scripture in hope that proper interpretation (Jesus' faith teaching) would dispel false interpretation (Word of Faith). By studying the proper interpretation we should "become so familiar with the truth, that when a counterfeit looms on the horizon, it will be easy to spot." Enter this thread at your own risk.

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? I confess that I was tickled at your warning: 'Enter this thread at your own risk' and I chose not to resist the urge pull out the above from my arsenal :). Thanks for answering my question. It appears to me that the reasons Peter began to sank were because 1. he became afraid 2. he was of little faith and 3. he doubted Do you see anything else or something different? Meredith |

Hi Meredith and Pastor Glenn. Exactly, he stopped looking at Jesus and started looking at the waves. When we stop seeing Jesus and start looking at our circumstances and how big they seem and how imposible everyone tells us the situation is... we forget Jesus and how He came forth from the grave in power and handed that power to us and said now you go in my name... I heard a pastor say one time we have to look at God until He becomes bigger to us than the mountain.. then when we speak to the mountain it will go. As long as the mountain is bigger to us than God, our faith is weak. |

Amen graceful, Strong faith in God helps us to keep things in perspective. Whenever we get afraid, we should ask ourselves if we are doubting God's ability to bring us through. |
