I believe. I believe that God is a God of love. I also believe He is a God that wants to see His children grow beyond "I want, I want, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!"
Throughout my life, I have been delivered of a morbid fear of death, healed of a chemical imbalance that caused suicidal depression, healed of curvature of the spine. Don't call me an unbeliever.
Call me a mature believer who knows sometimes God's children cannot be given what they want because it wouldn't be good for them.
Who knows that sometimes God wants us to go through "The trying our of faith" because it "worketh patience." (James said that, by the way).
Who realizes "The rain falleth upon the just and the unjust alike".
Who loves God even when He says, "Wait, child. I'll give you what you want WHEN YOU HAVE LEARNED THE LESSON I HAVE TO TEACH YOU."
Who remembers that Jesus, Himself, said, "Foxes have holes and birds have nests but the Son of Man has (nowhere) to lay His head."
And who has read that Paul said, "In this life you will have tribulation."
I am a believer ... and I believe that I can ask God for anything ... and He will give me what is best for me ... AND THEN I CAN THANK HIM THAT HE IS IN CHARGE OF MY LIFE. And He always gives me what is best for me.

Forgotton Word.... not only have you forgotten the word of God, it also appears that you do not know or believe in the word of God, if you are a christian.... I do not want to be one. Shame on you for blaspheming the word of God, or ANYONE who believes His word and has FAITH in those words.... What will you do if HE (the Lord) stops having faith in you? If anyone out there believes at all in the words the Lord has written STAY AWAY from this site and the doctrine of an opinionated NON-BELIEVER!!! RUN !!
Recently there have been several posts some may say I have "arbitrarily" deleted.
I assure you it was not arbitrary.
Several months ago both Bob Wise and I warned this particular poster that, while he was allowed to post about any other subject, posts promoting the Word of Faith doctrine from him WOULD BE DELETED. This happened because this poster refused to do anything but post lengthy sections of Scripture that HE said supported WoF beliefs, when Bob and I both felt he was simply using these scriptures to support his stubbornness and refusal to be teachable.
Since this is a site devoted to exposing the Word of Faith doctrine as the false doctrine ... I call it witchcraft ... it is, the insistence on this person to continue to promote WoF and refusal to approach this site and Bob and myself with any sort of respect, it is only right that we stand against him in the only way he understands ... by the quick deletion of his false doctrines before they can infect other readers.
This is meant to be a safe haven for those who are honestly seeking the truth and WoF is not truth and not to be tolerated when it is used as a club to abuse those who warn of its pitfalls.
