Yeah--even the "name it and claim it" it's like they're making themselves the god,and God the servant.."If I say it, God MUST do it" compared to what Jesus said "IF POSSIBLE let this cup cup pass from me. But not my will but Yours be done."
What is it that you are trying to teach us all Steven? That you don't believe that you should follow the actual Jesus of the Bible? That we are masochists for trying our best to have joy of Jesus? It's to bad that you don't realize that all of your complaining has been naming and claiming crap for yourself to continue just as you have in your misery since you joined this website.
John 14:12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
It is just a shame that you believe the way that you do! Didn't you actually name and claim salvation for your own self? If it is that you are actually saved by Jesus, the lamb of God, yet I guess you don't ask for anything in the Name Jesus, do you? You only desire to use the website of Jesus to name and claim your very own problems that continue because you haven't learned to stop naming and claiming your problems. If that isn't your proof, yet you don't see that so you continue in your problems, don't you?
Read Matthew 8:13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed,
so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour. Or Matthew 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
Isn't faith without works dead faith? Where is your faith Steven?
While we as believers can look for another way just as Jesus did in His suffering for us, He said to the Father to let His will be done which had nothing to do with claiming that by Jesus' stripes I am healed, or did it? If Jesus hadn't followed the Father than none of us would be able to claim that we are healed by Jesus' stripes, would we?
It's a shame that you don't realize that we are the bride of Christ, that God/Jesus is actually making us His Righteousness in Christ and that as each day draws to it's end that Jesus Himself is making us more and more like Himself. I say Thank You, Praise You Lord Jesus for causing me to be joyful in You because the joy of the Lord is my strength!
What do you say Steven?
