Brother Denadii This may be a bit long, so please get your popcorn out. lol I was in this movement for some 8 years,I even got to know brother Copland, and brother Hagan when he was alive.The core of the teaching which started around 1970 with Oral Roberts who was piloted by Kenenth Copland back then, was a new concept of placing the Word above our own feeling and emotions,so it was a fine method to get people to examine themselves!!( 2 Cor 13:5)
But then with man things got out of order( 1 Cor 14:40) After Oral Roberts was taken out by the Lord( Acts 5:38-39) because of a new man made doctrine which I will explain,the Word of faith movement which was a great movement to start with,went off the cliff with ear ticking doctrine such as taking ( Rom 4:17-18) and making us little God's which is there belief today. They said what this scripture means in reality is that since Abraham by God called those things which were not as though they were,we can to!Verse 18 and SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS!
Another words Name it, claim it,blab it, grab it.!! LOl This doctrine was very pleasing to me!! And for a while this worked out just fine for me! If I became sick,it was always my lack of faith according to ( Mark 6:5-6) even though we all know since the Lord is no respecter of persons ( rom 2:11,and acts 10:34)all have been given the same measure of his faith!!( Rom 12:3) It is the first part of this scripture that began to take shape rather then the measure given to us by the Lord himself!
My mindset was going that I was better then other so called believers because in my mind I had perfect faith! I was setting myself up for a great fall,which happened some 8 years into this doctrine.( Proverbs 20:23-24) and Proverbs 16:18-19!!) What happened to me was a long story but make no mistake the Lord corrected me!( 2 Tim 3:16-17!)
After being corrected by Holy Spirit and started to really get into the Word for myself and being led by Holy Spirit rather then man made doctrine,as spoken of here( 1 John 2:27) and Rom 8:14-15) For those who are being led by Holy Spirit!! I went to a Copland meeting and spoke to him in private,and asked him about being a little god.
And showed him this scripture!!!( Isaiah 43:10-14!!!) he then told me he received a revelation by God,I asked him which God? For are we not to test any spirit?? ( 1 john 4:1-6!!) he replied " you just have a lack of faith. LOL Which, unless for the Lord himself, I would have been destroyed as most people.
Then I asked him how is it that Paul lacked Faith?? he said he didn't!! Then showed him 1 Cor 4:10-16) verse 11!!! he then said you just do not understand and walked away.And so did I brother,I wiped my feet off and left the meeting! (1Peter 1:22-23!!) also ( 1 Peter 3:13-16!!) While being in the Word of faith movement I had more excuses then cater had pills to rebuke those who came against me and the Word of faith,you see I really know the Word,I am not a game player as many,I am sorry to say are people are,I always won!! LOL
The only way a person can truly come to the knowledge of the truth is the same way I did! The Lord really has to revel this heresy to you! So I judge you not,I do not look to bring ANY condemnation!! ( rom 8:1) I just wish for you to consider what I am so glad I did! I know how hard I fell,and do not wish for any to do the same! That is what LOVE DOES!!!! Not just speaks!!( 1 Cor 13:4-8!)
The ball is now in your court,I have told you my part of the truth I know to be true for me.( 1 Cor 13:11-13) The foundation of faith itself can never hold without LOVE! Faith does not work by faith,which is what they teach,but rather faith only can work through LOVE!!! ( Gal 5:4-6) For with out love we become cut off from the Lord himself! While true he does not forsake us or ever leave us,he sure does hide from us at times!!!( Isaiah 45:15!!) My the Lord comfort you and confirm to you these words! And may he never hide on you as he did me!

are you paying attention?
it was Meggido who made the original post
you have nothing to offer for proof of the excess of Copeland's lifestyle that is biblical any more than Copeland himself
read the prophets in the Old Testament. they still testify to these false priests and prophets
Copeland has his reward and remember I told you that here and now
You said you do not believe God heals all the time as though He lied when He promised healing... so actually you are the scoffer who is rejecting God's promises which is your right to do.
God cannot just inject healing in to someone's lives when they claim they doubt He is willing to heal. He gave us the right to choose so if He could just force Himself upon people He's make everyone get saved... which is doesn't do obviously.
So, I'd get some good health insurance if I were you and hope you don't come down with anything that medical science cannot handle.
"Arrogance" is folks like you claiming God is not willing to heal all the time... that's a lie and it's standing in opposition to what God says so,,, that line of thinking come from satan, the father of your arrogance.
Maybe you might want to back track and quit saying you do not believe God is willing to heal all the time... er not... your call bud.
That's hilarious that you think my comment was "boasting" in my gifts???
If you understood that God is not mocked, we reap what we sow (Gal 6:7,8) then you would understand why I said that... but obviously you lack understand this simple principle upon which God's entire Kingdom is built upon... going and reaping.
Yeah, we'll see in the end won't we...
All you folks that stand against God's promises, or some that are cherry pickers... sure like to talk that smack against those that actually believe and receive... that's too bad for you as you are so worried and upset over TV preachers that satan has you rejecting legitimate teachings and promises the Lord put in His Word.
Probably because with all that donor money he has hired good landscaping!
Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
Based on the Word of the living God... I condemn that satanic curse!
Not that your words have enough power to curse me anyhow.
It's so sad for you to see you deny God's promises.
Concerning going to doctors, I've personally known several people that claimed to believe in healing and yet they went to doctors anyway and jumped thru every hoop the doctor said to... and sadly, they died anyway.
Like it or not, believe it or not... medical science is a roll of the dice just like going to vegas.
One of the end times issues mankind faces is an increase in diseases that are incurable and it's already happening if you follow medical news at all... but for the Lord, ain't nothing incurable.
So, you enjoy your doctor visits fo yo health and I'll enjoy going to the Great Physician... Jesus Christ Who has already taken sickness intended for me upon Himself so I would not have to have them.
I'm still waiting for someone to show me in God's Word where He tells His people (in either testament) to go to the doctor and trust the arm of the flesh / wisdom of mankind instead of coming to Him for health and healing... WHERE is that in God's Word anyhow???
Now, the Lord has taught me to do common sense things that many do not do that lead to sickness... things such as getting plenty of nourishment, don't eat junk food (lots of cancer causing stuff in processed food ya know), plenty of sleep, plenty of water, exercise, not getting in to stress (as in not giving a fat rat's backside about your attack on me for believing what God promises
) and these things go a long, long way to keeping the body healthy and when coupled with God's promises there's no reason to be sick at all!
Sorry to hear of your attempt to curse me and to wish evil upon me... that was funny, and it made my day!
When 'ol slewfoot starts attacking, you know it's because he's trying to choke God's Word so it does not bare fruit.
It ain't gonna work on me man... I been there, done that and come out victorious too many times to believe others when they oppose God's promises so... good luck with that, you gonna need it!
You would know! he's got you speaking for him trying to get people to not believe God's promises and the sad part is... you don't even know it!

Rocky honey, you are WOF at it's best and worst
no one has cursed you, you silly boy
but then again, if they had, you just have to send it back where it came from right?
you keep catching yourself going out as you are coming in
I've rubbed shoulders with the best of them. literally. famous even. (not me, them) worked side by side
I don't write from ignorance
but who cares

this is pure gold as far as WOF expressions go
the Lord has taught you
so should we all just shut the hay up and listen because you say you are taught by God person to person?
you don't even know when you are doing what you do that makes you died in the wool screaming WOF addict
God does not speak any different from what He has already said

One thing for certain is, I ain't yo honey. I wouldn't not be interested in being unequally yoke with unbelievers.
Jesus and His Apostles taught God Word is near to us and is in our mouth and in our heart.... so I'll follow the Lord and His Apostles and you can brag about how you've met famous preachers and what not. Enjoy!
This has nothing to do with following any "movement" but is simply taking God at His Word... besides, most of these guys you claim are WOF preachers are in agreement with catholicism (and many that disagree with WOF as well) and that is far more dangerous than standing on God's promises as you claim to be dangerous.
So, enjoy opposing God's promises and second guessing His Word... that won't end well for you but I understand you do not believe that so you'll just have to find out for your self.

Yes, He taught me to deal wisely in all the affairs of life... so I take it you are in favor of eating junk food, not exercising, not getting much sleep, you're obviously stressed out...
That's not being a good steward of your physical body and will lead to sickness and being weak physically.
Oh well...
And sadly you continue to attack His promises claiming God does not honor His Word!

Sevenseas Here is a question for you. How do YOU stand on the Word? How do YOU stand on a promise from the word for you? I know that Christians do...When I was first saved, before what you call Word of Faith came into being..Before it was decided by the church at large that it is a dishonest cult, songs like 'Standing on the promises of Christ my Lord..." How do you stand on promises you claim? This song was written in 1886 a bit before this cult you so hate....Please answer my questions? Without your being rude if possible.
S
for someone who uses as much sarcasm as you do, you don't seem to recognize it when someone else uses it on you
oh well
Superman has lead and you have...ummmm...a huge ego
you are not the keeper of God's promises little man. not now and not ever
you stand about 3'2" in that category and most of us see right over your head, which seems to be the biggest part of your anatomy cause it is full of hot air
see?
I'm real good at being as sarcastic as you so I hope you get it now.
sometimes you really do have to answer someone the way the speak so they get it
I'm slumming it though to do it, so don't get spoiled

So... do you consider these to be false promises??? If you do, it will make satan very, very happy

Isaiah 53:4, 5
Jesus has carried our grief (pain, anxiety, calamity, disease, sickness), and carried our sorrows (anguish, affliction, feelings of pain, sadness and sorrow): yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted....but He was wounded (to wound, to break, be slain or killed) for our transgressions, He was bruised (crush, destroy, oppress, to collapse) for our iniquities: the punishment (violence, rebuke) of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. (He took our wounds, so we could take his wholeness & health in every area of life)
Proverbs 4:20-23
Attend to My words; incline your ear unto My sayings....let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart....for they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh....keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it flow the forces of life.

Exodus 15:26
If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in His sight, and will give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will not put any diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that heals you.
Exodus 23:24-26
You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do their works: but you shall utterly overthrow them, and destroy their images.

There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: and you will live out the full span of your lives.

it's not me calling this doctrine word of faith
I did not create the moniker
perhaps from my posts, if you read them, you can see I am not a cessationist and do believe in the gifts given by God through the Holy Spirit
standing on the promises of God do not mean if I say it, it will be so
that is the core of WOF
I seem to remember you stating some posts back, that you do not agree with some of the outlandish things some WOF preachers spout. was that you or someone else?
if it was you, how about making clear what it is you really do believe and if do not get back to you, it is because my WIFI is down but sooner and possibly later, I will get back
ps. don't say I hate something when I have never said such a thing. that's really not very Christ-like
