Subject: claiming things in your life |
Bible Note: Sam - How interesting. My, my, even though I've been a follower of Christ for 55 years, I learn new things every day. Today I learned that Jesus died on the cross so that His followers could have a new Lexus SUV! I forget the Scripture passage that promises that. Could you tell us where Scripture says, "If you can believe God for anything, that is exactly what He will do for you."? I'm 69 and my body is showing signs of wear. Do you suppose, by naming and claiming, I could talk God into trading my 69-year-old body for a 21-year-old one? And dare I tack on a request for a new Lexus too? ....... Jim, what you are promoting is not scriptural. It's the name-in-and-claim-it heresy of the Word of Faith Movement, it's the positive-thinking humanistic approach to pseudo-Christianity promulgated by Robert Schuller and, before him, Norman Vincent Peale. Napolean Hill made a considerable splash a few decades ago with his book, "Think and Grow Rich" as did Emile Coue who made famous his neat little mantra, "Day by day in every way I am getting better and better." This is not Bible truth; it is the hogwash of secular humanism thinly disguised as Christian faith. But it is not and cannot be construed to be the pure and undefiled gospel of Jesus Christ that is taught in the Bible and only in the Bible. All this other dazzling fuzz, however alluring it may appear, is corrupt and foreign to sound doctrine. When in John 10:10 Jesus says that He came in order that His sheep may have life and have it abundantly, there is no reason on earth to think that He was talking about a new Lexus! --Hank |
