This Word of Faith thread seems to have turned into a healing thread.
If this was the intention, I don't know.
But the Word of Faith movement is just as much about money, being wealthy in the name of Jesus.
Can we apply the same verses to getting money?
It is said that God wants us to have money so that we can serve him better.
Did anyone ever tell that to the Apostle Paul?
When James offered his advice to rich Christians, it was obvious that he wasn't one of them.
And the collections for the Church in Jerusalem, I would think they would have been the richest of all.
No, there is too many ifs, too much controversy, to see how it all comes together in perfect harmony with God's plan for us.
Romans 8:17;
"Now if we are children, then we are heirs---heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory".
Do we really want to share in his sufferings?
Romans 8:36;
"As it is written:
For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered".
Is this what we face when we sit back in our health and wealth lifestyles?
Read 2 Corinthians 11:23-29;
How does a lifestyle of suffering with Christ co-exist with the Word of Faith movement?
I don't see it.
