1 | Is the Word-Faith movement biblical ? | John 10:27 | glory777 | 7883 | ||
I am not in the Word of Faith movement (at least I don't think so) but God did speak all creation into existance. I do know that if you tell a child long enough, and sometimes it doesn't take too many times, that he is no good, he will often fulfill your words. God said to speak blessings, not cursings. So in this regard, I do believe that words have power. God also gave us common sense and I believe we should use it. If we need healing, He is the One we should turn to first, prayer being a first option. Then follow up with the resources He has supplied us. But faith IS important. Why else would Jesus have put such an emphasis on relying on our Heavenly Father? So many things He said - "faith of a mustard seed...ask and it shall be given...The neighbor who kept knocking," etc. I have heard that God answers three ways - no, yes and wait. | ||||||

Greetings Glory777! I have had some personal experience with the Word of Faith movement. The key problem with them can be summed up in this way: They have faith in their faith, while the Bible says to have faith in God. Faith is nothing more nor less than a trust or confidence in someone or something. Faith is only as good as what it is placed in. Therefore, faith in God is important. Through it we become partakers of the blessings of God, like salvation. However, faith is not some sort of power or force that can be used to manipulate reality. Only God can do that, so we should have faith in Him! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
