Belief is NOT THE SAME THING as possitive confession. Possitive Confessin states you can change the very reality around you by the words of your mouth BECAUSE you are a god. This is the entire foundation of the false teaching. If you are not of god status you could not speak things "INTO" existence. You CAN NOT get truth from a false teaching no matter how much you strain that nat!
Do you look at more than the verses "they" tell you to. Look at the context. Stop eating the diet of this falsehoods as it IS NOT Biblical. Just because something is IN scripture does not make it biblical according to its Context. Take Satan quoting the verses out of context to Jesus. Those scriptures were in not in context but they were in the word, does that mean because Satan quoted scripture and it came from his mouth Jesus had to obey. No.
When Jesus said to Peter, Satan get behind me. Him being the very God, did his confession alter Peter and make him Satan. Of course not.
But on the basis of my ill typing, I do retract that Jesus did not speak alot of possitive things for He did. However, it had nothing to do with Possitive Confessionism. And by that same token He spoke many negitive things about and to people as well. Also take David who is Claimed by God to be a man after Gods own heart and yet he spoke almost as much negitive as he did positive.
Do you realize that when Jesus did something miraculous that it wasn't because He "spoke" it into being but because He IS God and it CAME into being.
Mark 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
Just a note on this one the woman was speaking WOF before she was healed in case you didn't notice.
Mark 5:28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
:laugh: :laugh: First off you make the assumption she spoke this out loud.
Secondly, she was NOT "practicing" WOF but faith in Christ ALONE not in Her confession. She was practicing FAITH. Her belief was not in the fact she knew if she spoke it and acted it would be, but that she knew if she could but "touch Him" she would be made whole.
Do you even know that it was Kenneth Haggin who is called the father of the WOF movement (though not the origentator) and his heir-apprent or next in line is Kenneth Copeland and next in line is Benny Hinn. These are the main teachers that teach others 'their' beliefs.
Pro 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Oh my, will you really try to get doctrine from the Proverbs?
How about we try context again, shall we?
Pro 18:19 A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city: and [their] contentions [are] like the bars of a castle.
Pro 18:20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; [and] with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
Pro 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Pro 18:22 [Whoso] findeth a wife findeth a good [thing], and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
If you will note the previous and preceeding verse give context to what the text is stating. Not that By my words death and by my words life. But context it is speaking about the good or evil that the tongue can do. It is speaking of contrast, contrast, and it is still it is about contrast and NOT about possitive or negitive confession that what proceedes from your mouth will come into existence.
Well stupid me, because I quoted this scripture everytime I would have a panic attack when riding in a vehicle. All I knew was it was the inspired word of God. So I used it as a positive confession and God still honored it, because panic attacks are a thing of the past now.
My mom has severe panic attacks and I feel for you. But in the same light of truth however - though the scripture is true that we can do all things THROUGH CHRIST that strengthens us, the question is quite appearent.
Did you through possitive confession (the very power of your word) stop your panic attacks
or did you claiming that promise where our strength to overcome is in Christ alone. It is either one power or the other and will never be both since one is your command to bring something to be OR Christs command that it will be. What's the difference - Who actually have the authority to do it!
Theres a few that I see through too and some of what they teach is not bibical
Ma'am with as much respect as I can muster, you know little to almost nothing of what the WOF movement is about, how the doctrine is arrived at, nor where and what it the teaching have come from. Unfortunately you miss understand me. I do not have aught against them - I mark them as blasphemers of God and False teachers of the doctrines of demons like Paul tell us to and do so according to scripture and it is my opinion. But as a Pastor I can not allow this to spread in my church much less the church body as a cancer if I can help it.
Please, I know I have most likely offended you, and if so I appolagize for the hard feelings caused but I stand by everyword against the movement, its false doctrine, and it's blasphemis teachers. However don't take my word for it, look it up for youself and see just what kind of root, this tree you are climbing has.
