Um, i would like to apologize for my misplaced post o.o; my extensive post was meant to be posted on under a different thread. In my fired up stated, I didn't notice I was in the wrong thread, so I'm very sorry to the OP that I crashed onto her thread like this!!!
But with regards to the Word of Faith movement, which I mentioned I passing in my extensive post (which I hope would be deleted very soon o.o
, I am STRONGLY against the said movement, that is so focused on Health and Wealth, and has a skewed understanding of what GOD's grace is all about. Also, their rejection of the fact that the Holy Spirit convicts believers of sin, as well as their teaching that repentance is no longer necessary in a Christian's spiritual walk are VERY DANGEROUS lies they are spreading and using to deceive others.
As in my above post, I strongly advice that we TEST EVERYTHING any preacher says against Scripture, which should be our final and absolute authority when it comes to seeking GOD's revelation and truth.
It should never be about us and what we can do when we invoke the name of GOD. But rather, it should be all about HIM, and how HE is praised, and thanked, and glorified in everything we say and do. Let us not be focused on getting blessed, but rather, on ministering to others, and most of all, on worshipping and lifting up our GOD's Holy name with our very lives!!! it is for HIS pleasure and HIS glory and praise that we live and move and have our being!!!
Jeremiah 9:23-24 King James Version (KJV)
23 Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.
Colossians 1:9-10 King James Version (KJV)
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
