1 | A question for false teachers | NT general Archive 1 | RJJ | 92494 | ||
A question for the false teachers of the," health and wealth doctrine", where in the scriptures is it written that you have to have a great amount of faith to receive or to believe in the healing power of GOD? Our Lord Jesus tells us in Holy Scripture that a mustard seed of faith can move mountains, surely its not the amount of faith you have but WHO you have faith IN i.e. JESUS. |

There is no mention of the need to have a "great amount of faith," but Jesus repeatedly indicates that there are varying amounts of faith in His teaching in six different Gospel passages including the very verse to which you refer in your question: "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" (MT 17:20). I believe that quantity of faith is not the issue when desiring healing or anything else from God; quality or purity of faith is. By "quality of faith" I mean that one must be able to "hear what the Spirit is saying" and "see what the Spirit is doing." Once we perceive God in a matter, then we can align our prayers with His will and see miraculous things come to pass. This perceiving the Spirit comes from our relationship with Him. We must know Him well in order to "see" and "hear" what He is up to on any given moment. Jesus said of His relationship with the Father, "Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" (John 14:10-14). When we do perceive Him and His will on specific situations then we can act under His authority to see His Kingdom come on Earth as it is in heaven. |

I do not intend to debate your point, but I will state the fact that Jesus bore our sins AND afflictions on the cross. Many like to make the statement "I was saved on such and such a date." I have news for them. They weren't saved on that date. Jesus died for our sins and afflictions over 2000 years ago. Our sins and afflictions were forgiven and lifted at that time. The date folks like to say they were saved, was simply the date that they accepted what our Savior did for them. 1Pe 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: --- by whose stripes ye were healed. --- Why some are healed and some are not, only the Lord Himself knows. I have heard many preachers preach what the bible says concerning healing. I know there are many who have recieved healing by faith. I am sure that there are just as many whos faith is as as great as any, yet they recieve no healing. Our Lord has His reasons for not healing, just as He does for healing. Accepting His will without "understanding why" is a matter of faith as well. Ecc 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Only too often we tend to think that things should happen in "our" time frame, forgetting about His. Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. "conformed to the image of his Son." His Son was not sick or crippled. I don't believe our Lord intends anything other than what He stated in His word. What others believe is between them and our Master. Just as what I believe through the Spirit and the Word, is between me and my Master. Just because one hasn't recieved, dosen't mean that what is not recieved isn't there. If scripture says it. It is true. If one believes in Christ, one will also believe what is said in His word. Likewise, if one does not believe what is said in His Word, he makes him a liar. If one considers Him a liar, he does not believe in the first place. Belief and faith is more than skin deep. George |

As for "missing the boat," it would appear that some simply don't have both oars in the water in the first place. You posted a question. I simply posted an answer to that question. My post didn't ask for, nor is there a need for an answer. As to the posts you noted. Perhaps your answer is therein, so what possiable cause could there have for the post I responded to? George |
