Bible Note: continuation, Tamara After they establish that belivers by the blood have access to all covenants from the OT they seek to establish that all believers because they are priests can have the promise granted to Phinehas. I Peter 2:5 You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. While it is true that we are all priests in the priesthood of Christ, and while it is true that we have access to the covenantal promises of faith, and while it is true that believers are granted peace between themselves and God, these Word of Faith preachers take it all a step beyond this. They tie in having access to the convenant of faith by the blood, being in the priesthood and being granted peace between us and God with the concept that believers are to take the covenant granted to Phinehas and speak it out loud in order to release the power of God to speak peace to your ruined health, ruined life, ruined ministry, ruined finances telling you that God will speak peace to your situation if you speak out loud the promises of God and allow God to move on your behalf. The covenant of peace between God and Phinehas was specifically about the other covenant of a perpetual priesthood granted to Phinehas and his descendants and was not about a ruined life, or a ruined health, or ruined finances, or a ruined ministry, it was about God granting peace instead of desctruction and about granting one man and his family a perpetual priesthood and does not apply to other situations or people at all. It is true that God can and will fix ruined things, but not by appropriating the covenant of peace and a priesthood granted only to Phineahas... The next things these Word of Faith preachers say after finishing their excited and flambouyant presentation of this wild illustration is, "God opens doors that no man can close, by His Holy will and sovereign power, He will release the convenants and promises of God into your life by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ by the level of your faith!" This twisting scriptures to fit their twisted theology that your lips as a priest will open up and appropriate any old promise or covenant of God and that by the power of your faith God will act on your behalf and fix any old thing because you are under the blood and God loves His children and has given them many many promises and covenants that apply to them and belong to God. Benny Hinn, T.D. Jakes, Paula White, Joyce Meyers, Peter Popoff, and on and on they are all getting rich and powerfull because people love to hear false teaching that tells them how to get things and fix things and how to have a better life with much less suffering. And it is all false doctrine every bit of it, from the fake healings to the healings by the power of the devil, to the healing oil of the devil, to the green prayer clothes of the evil one, to the fake manna to heal you by the power of the devil, the fake no evil oil, the instantaneous dental work by the power of the devil, the prophecies by the power of Satan about peoples personal doctor's name and diagnoses of illnes without prior knowledge, it is all the work of the devil - here is why, they are doing all these so called Charismatic gifts while preaching a myriad of false doctrines to support what they are doing, and if they are preaching false doctrine and then performing many miracles that are real, then their power is from the devil himself, by their fruits you shall know them, but first check the doctrine, if it is false then so are the miracles a product, although they may be real of the devil and not God. I want you to really start listening to what they are preaching, all these people that you so admire in minstry and start to ask questions in here about what you are hearing and seeing and start getting some real sound doctrine so you can see what is the truth. You are being deceived my dear and it shows, I say this in love for the sake of your soul to pull you back from the brink of spiritual destruction. Learn the truth and keep it. Test every word you hear against the Bible, if you can't find it, I bet you are a fine Bible student, it probably is not there at all, but is a false teaching. God's day to you, Tamara |
