The Word of Faith VS the Word of God

We know He is always working and that He is always healing, often not physically, as that may not be His will, but on this we can be assured, His spiritual healing is available for us all.

The greatest blessing He gives is always Himself. I do encourage prayer because He is the mountain that moves.

President Trump issued a warning and said to expect 100,000 to 240,000 deaths in America from coronavirus despite social distancing.

Question? How should a Believer Faith respond knowing that the death angel is coming?

Is it a Angel or a virus?

Back in the day, I learned the hard way the difference between the Word of Faith doctrines versus the Word of God. This happened after I saw a Word of Faith teacher kill himself and over one hundred followers. If you want to read news accounts search for the Glory Barn Faith Assembly sect in northern Indiana.

“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” Mark 11:24 (KJV 1900)

It was really that simple. Just pick out something, ask God for it, and believe you will receive it, and you will have it.

But sometimes you need to wait. The teacher had a clubfoot and twisted limb from polio. But he stood there wearing a built up shoe teaching that he’d been healed years ago when he asked for it. And if he’d prayed again asking the same, it would prove he didn’t believe the first time. Or if he’d gone to a Doctor for therapy, it would prove he didn’t believe when he asked the first time. God didn’t use Doctors. And since Paul said “whatever is not of faith is sin”, he would sin even considering going to a Doctor. And this eventually killed him with treatable gangrene, and over one hundred like-minded who died of easily treated illnesses or botched home deliveries using midwives, over a ten year period.

So what did Jesus mean when he said “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”? Mark 11:24

How I use this verse today. I know faith is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. I used to think it was of human origin. The same kind of faith you conjure up when buying a used car. And if you conjure it up when you pray, and don’t stop believing, God must honor his word and grant your wishes. This type of faith killed all of those people and sends many thinking they are saved to hell today.

But the truth is, faith is something God gives to us as a fruit of the Holy Spirit Galatians 5:22. And when present, we know God answered our prayer and we can expect an answer. If not present, we can recheck our motives and scripture support, and pray again. It is here the Spirit bears witness with our spirit that God will provide our needs.

But God uses medicine as in the Epistles when Paul no longer had the healing gifts. And he heals through the prayer of (Holy Spirit) faith. Many sicknesses are psychosomatic and go away when we stop the sin causing them.

The flesh loves and believes lies. And it was this type of faith that killed these people and drives the Word of Faith movement today.

I view it as the Jews did on the first Passover. The death angel is bringing God's judgment and he tells us to self-isolate.

We can still pray the prayer of faith and be healed. But we must understand faith. What it is and what it is not. Most WoF people trust in their sinful flesh belief and do not have Holy Spirit faith.

And death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death. Rev. 20:14

That was a wacked out congregation.

God, and God alone, is sovereign over the timing of our deaths. No angel or demon can in any sense cause our death before the time God has willed it to occur. According to Romans 6:23 and Revelation 20:11-15, death is separation, separation of our soul-spirit from our body (physical death) and, in the case of unbelievers, everlasting separation from God (eternal death). Death is something that occurs. Death is not an angel, a demon, a person, or any other being. Angels can cause death, and may be involved in what happens to us after death—but there is no such thing as the “angel of death.”
