Subject: Which promises? |
Bible Note: Tracy – You may stand there a long time, if it isn’t in the will of God to take that land from one person and give it to you. Never forget God is sovereign! He will promise and do as He pleases! Your right the promise to Abraham was to make him the father of many nations. And we are heirs to the blessings but again God has never promised you to be the father of any nation. Mother maybe :-). However you should not expect to start a family at the age of 90 as Sarah did, since that promise was to Sarah not you. Tracy this is just plain bad teaching that the promises in the Bible made to specific people or for a specific situation can be claimed today, it is just nonsense. You will stand by the Red Sea a long time holding a stick and never see it part. Or you can complain a long time about hunger and never see manna fall from heaven. You can go to the top of mount Sinai and fashion stone tablets but I submit you will wait a long time for God’s glory to descend upon the mountain and God to inscribe upon the tablets. Do you see the nonsense? One other consideration Tracy in the teaching about claiming promises, notice how it is always for physical betterment, the teachers never talk about how God tried the faithful men of the Old Testament by fire. It is part of the name and claim it, blab it and grab it, teaching that has become so popular. However it is without biblical basis. No where does the Bible say this principal exists. |
