Bible Note: Mbooker Exactly if you don't know the will of God you pray in the Spirit. In other words you are saying "Thy will be done". Which is exactly what Word of Faith teaches to be error. They claim the problem is not, not knowing God's will but rather a lack of faith to secure what they presume God's will to be. That is a problem. If we know God's will, we exercise our faith until we see what ever it is accomplished in our lives. If we don't know God's will we should again exercise our faith trusting that God will make all things work to our good. That is biblical faith! Word of Faith, faith teaches you decide what it is you need and you have faith until you get it. If you don’t get it you either didn’t have enough faith or you had unconfessed sin in your life. I used the example of a car breaking down and someone not having a way to work. WOF teaches you should have faith for a new car, in fact some of the more visible WOF teachers teach you should claim a Lexus and even walk around it claiming it yours. The problem is God may just want you to hitch a ride with a unsaved coworker using the time to build a relationship and being able to testify to what Jesus has done in your life. Thus leading them to the Lord. See this option isn’t even given in WOF teaching they teach and people believe God wants you wealthy, healthy and without problems. They deny the righteous face many troubles, yet that is exactly what God says in Psalm 34:19 where it also says God will delivers them from them. Yes we can and in many cases do I know the will of God and when we do we should exercise our faith to see them accomplished in our lives. However there are times when God does not reveal His will or gives us a complete picture. In those cases we still need faith, faith in God that He knows what He is doing and whatever it is it will work to our best interest. Be Blessed and be a Blessing EdB |
