1 | Name it and claim it?????????????? | Matt 4:3 | EdB | 25078 | ||
The reason it bothers you is you have discernment. Name and claim it is a false teaching if it were true it would show the Apostle Paul to be an idiot. Instead of Paul working so hard to take offerings for the Jerusalem (to see them through a famine) he should have went to Jerusalem and preached “Name it and Claim it” and they would have had all the food they wanted. My question today is why don’t the “Name it and Claim it” advocates go to the Sudan and have all the enslaved Christians there naming and claiming their freedom? Or why don’t they go to the Islands of Indonesia where 63,000 Christians are awaiting their slaughter at the hands of Muslims and have them “name and claim” deliverance from this. (By the way unless the UN or some other outside force intervenes there are 63,000 Christians Men women and children that are going to slaughter in a Islamic Jihad in the Philippians. Every one should be praying for their deliverance). For more information see www.persecution.com Name it Claim it only preaches in America to spoiled Americans. Can’t you just see a Haitian Christian living in the poverty of Haiti naming and claiming a ‘2002’ BMW. There is not one shred of scripture that supports this teaching and again I remind you if it were true all the Apostles at one time or another had reason to use it and didn’t as evidenced by their testimonies, lives, and deaths.

2 | Name it and claim it?????????????? | Matt 4:3 | Shell | 25182 | ||
To EdB, thank you for your answer. I don't know if I have disernment about things or not, but I did like your answer. In fact I liked every answer I received. There are times that I have a "check" in my heart, spirit, or mind, about things, and if this if disernment, then that is great. If this name it and claim is is not scriptual, why do some many have so much and others don't? I believe that my faith is strong, in fact I know it is, but when I pray, I know if it is God's will, it will happen, if it doesn't, I say, It was not God's will and try to go on to something else. Some tell me that is wrong others agree with me about God's will. Sometimes I get really confused and don't know what to think. I take the Bible LITERALY (mispelled), but there may be some things I am not understanding quite right. Anyway, thanks for your answer. Shell | ||||||
3 | Name it and claim it?????????????? | Matt 4:3 | EdB | 25256 | ||
Shell that is exactly what discernment is. In answer to your question God did make us promises and He is faithful and true to keep each and every one. However He keeps them in His time and in His way. Many people use the promise that God made as far as giving, “bring into my storehouse and I will open up the windows of heaven and pour out blessings” to mean that if we give God will make us rich. God said “blessings” not mammon. Blessing include health, not having a son or daughter on drugs, killed in gang shooting, raped etc. Blessings are a loving family, a job, working limbs, education, living in America in other words all the things we take for granted. Each and everyone is a blessing that many people never have. I believe these are just a part of the blessing that pour out those open windows. Name it and claim it try to turn God into their servant. They say I claim this now you God give it to me. Have you raised a child? What would happen if we gave a child everything that child asked for or demanded? We would end up with one spoiled brat that no one would want to be around. It is the same for us. God knows what we need even before we ask and God in His love gives it to us not to spoil us to but as we need and can use it properly. You asked why so many have so much and others so little. Is that true do the ones that have so much really have so much or do they have possessions that block the emptiness they have inside. And the ones that have so little do they or are they blessed with many blessing like joy, health, family? We have to remember there is also a law of nature that if you work hard you will probably have more than those that don’t work hard. There are exceptions people born into wealth but again we need to look at values and such to determine real wealth. God wants the best for you. If you keep that faith you will never want for anything. David said Psalm 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread. EdB |
