Where are you when you are needed? If God gives someone a gift they use it unless they are not faithful in what was given to them. We all heard of Benny Hinn years ago saying in 1976 he emptied out a hospital wing, in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. And then all the other claims that followed of God healing all at his meetings. It’s time for the millionaire faith healers whom claim that God speaks to everyday to show the world their gift. As we have a rising pandemic in the world and the opportunity is at the door. Here is what is interesting to note, Jesus said there would be diseases and various other things increasing in the end. He also said at the same time there would be false prophets and false Christ's (Mt.24). These same healers call themselves little gods. Put 2 and 2 together and we have what we have today. We have had numerous gatherings where these men have said the anointing is upon thousands to heal. Where are they? The least they can do is send handkerchief’s. This is why none of what these men say matters, it all falls to ground with a thud. These are empty words and they have no power except to convince people, the uneducated believers that they have these abilities and that they can also give it to them, thus spreading their own deception. The spirit of truth is supposed to be indwelling believers, so why do they fall for these charlatans. There is no one reason for all. But there is an underlying theme to why we are so susceptible to the healing charlatans. As Hosea spoke in 4:6-11 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me” We are to grow in the grace and knowledge of the lord, but you get out of it only what you put in it. The church’s lack of knowledge leads to no truth or activity in spreading the gospel. We are supposed to be priests (1Pt.2:5) The Bible teaches that Apostolic miracles were unique to the apostles, they were not common to all the people. This is why we see consistent miracles among the apostles who where sent out to plant churches. The only power these word faith teachers exhibit is power over people who believe them. It is only because so many believe them that they continue. They know that if the electricity goes off they cannot speak it on, they know that if they rip their thousand dollar suit they cannot mend it by speaking. It is only on people who do NOT know their Bible that this works on. |
