Assertion:
Deceivers motivated by their own error, fleshly desires, and maybe even Satan himself, destroy hope, when they teach that we can ALL have perfect health, perfect wealth, perfect channel of communication/revelation, and full manifestation of other "heavenly" blessings now, before we get to the new heavens and new Earth.
(Heaven will be used to mean the new heavens and new Earth.)
A major strengthener in our walk of faith is hope.
There is a major destroyer alive in the church today. It's a teaching that looks quite hopeful, but in the end, it leaves many hopeless.
It promises all believers perfect health this side of heaven. This teaching leads many from a sense of eternal hope, to a sense of literal frustration and despair. It destroys hope, because often the believer remains sick/ill, and they become frustrated because it isn't manifesting this side of heaven.
The thing that should strengthen them, namely hope, gets replaced with a focus on the now that keeps them in despair and frustration, until they're set free by the hope of full restoration in heaven.
Deceivers destroy hope by saying ALL believers will be wealthy. This is a hope destroyer for a few reasons.
First many "sow seed" and don't get the promised wealth. So again, hope gets replaced with frustration and maybe even a sense that God has lied. Second, the promise of wealth distracts from putting your hope in heaven. So the person ends up strengthened by the wealth they have now, and not in the hope to come. Maybe that's why it says even the desire to be rich is wrong.
Another hope destroyer that flies under the radar to many, is the belief that we're going to have a totally open channel of communication/revelation/conversation/sense of hearing/and the like this side of heaven.It's a teaching that basically says we can have a sit down chit chat full conversation with full two sided dialog just like we have in a real life conversation. Yes there is communication with God, but not to the extent these hope destroyers teach/say.
What happens here is people interpret almost EVERY thought/feeling/happening/and the like as a manifestation of that full channel of communication/revelation/eh you get the point, that we have to look forward to in heaven. They may even make up things in their head, just so they can validate their hope destroying belief. They get so deceived in to thinking that has already arrived, that they have no sense of the true full communication that truly awaits us in heaven.
Please folks, don't let the hope destroyers destroy your hope. Hope will strengthen you. These deceivers only offer a false hope, that will frustrate you.
Choose hope.
Hope that is seen, is not hope at all.
