Subject: The Gift of Faith |
Bible Note: Hi Doc, Here's the Corollary: Faith is not a force nor a power to manipulate the Almighty. I'll relate a little story from TV today that illustrates this- what faith is not: Kenneth Copeland was mesmerizing his audience with a spin of fiction. In all of 5 minutes he proceeded to relay a story of him "working his faith on God" to get Him to reveal Himself to (KC) personally (after listing a long littany of WOF Super Heroes who had similar experiences). What do you suppose God "told" him in this conversation? Of course, that "his faith would go back 5 years" and that he needed to remember His promise to Abraham. Relating the doubting Thomas account in John 20:28 he said "blessing", "blessing", etc. "Blessed are those who believe and have not yet seen". Copeland went on to proclaim his allegiance to "the Word of God", all to the hearty applause and 'amens' of his audience. Hmmm.... Sounds like a rather silly and ridiculous fable to me (2 Tim. 4:2). My ears were sure tickled:-( Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
