Bible Note: Dear mbooker, Mark 11:24 "For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]. Children often ask their parents for things that, if they recieved them, would cause great harm. "Daddy I want a real gun!" demands 6 year old Junior. Of course Dad says "No way Jose!". Are we so spiritualy mature that we can know, (in every circumstance) without a doubt, what is good for us? No way Jose! God will not give us that which is not in His will for us. Is it scriptural for me to pray for a Rolls Royce or a Mansion in Malibu. According to some fat cat TV "preachers", Yes! It is. God is just waiting for us to exercise or faith. All the kingdoms of the world can be ours. If you cast yourself off a mountain God will send an angel to catch you. What I don't understand is why they don't simply believe God for a goose that lays golden eggs instead of their constant pleas for donations! Oh I forgot. That would be denying the people an opportunity to get double their money back from giving to them. Forgive my sarcasm,but I cannot abide what I see as a willful perversion of the gospel. The bible clearly warns us about the dangers that riches pose. 1 Tim 6:9 "But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. Romans 8:26-28 "In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; FOR WE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PRAY AS WE SHOULD, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." I don't care what anyone may say, but we are not "little gods". We are but dust into which God was pleased to breath life. Our knowledge and wisdom is limited. I do pray that God will bless me financialy but according to His will not mine. Afterall, it was hard times that drove me back to church after years of backsliding. Speaking of work, I better close for now. God Bless mbooker, John |
