I'm reading both Phil36 and PennED. Hi guys! What you guys are saying comes down imo to how we see Jesus today in our lives.
Some do not believe the same way I do. I have great expectations and like the devotional., have had Jesus show up in my life and take care of me each and every time.
We each see things in the Bible differently and this is not odd. I believe based on my reading and the teaching and comparing of Bible understanding that Paul's thorn in the flesh was not sickness but people who were a pain in his life. I have not come to this over night and it takes comparing things I've read in the Bible before.
We each have our Bible journeys to take and we may each read the same verses and come up with something different and yet that is how the Bible works. The HolySpirit can bring the exact truth into our hearts that we needed. Taylor made.
And so if you guys believe the tribulations we go through are from God (and I don't) that is your choice. I know and believe that good comes from God. Evil comes from satan who comes to kill steal and destroy. Jesus came to give life and that more abundantly.
I've "repented" / (changed my way of thinking) about Jesus and what He did for me when He saved my soul. He gave me a new spirit and made me a child of God giving me the gift of His righteousness. I don't "do" righteous to be righteous., I AM righteous IN Christ.
And so in such matters as troubles in the world., I know He will take me through them and bring me out the other side. He has never failed me and He never will. And it's an actual relief to know it's a pleasing thing for Him to know I trust Him and want to keep learning how to trust Him more. And He daily gives more incentives.

Thanks for your post.. I understand you agree with Prince, or else you would not have posted your OP. All I was pointing out is that I disagree with his teachings and think he is dangerous to the church at large - as with all 'word of faith' and health and wealth preachers.
Will my views persuade you to look further, I don't know - but it might make someone else stop and think about what it is they think they are agreeing to when listening to these guys.
Anyhow, have a blessed day.
