You're reading along and agreeing with what's been posted on a thread Example - Paragraphs on praying, praying scriptures, believing what The Word says, etc. then the poster puts - not like those Word of Faith demanding God do xzy.
It happens on this website, other websites, on tv - what are they talking about? Why are we viewed as demanding Yahweh to do anything? |

first that we are comming into agreement with the will of God when we ask Him to do things.
secondly that we first have to check our own will at the door before we ask, in the very same way that Jesus did when He prayed to the Father in the garden of Gesthemene.

These are believer's who do not remember: Hebrews 4:15-16
15For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
They would rather think that they are still "sinners saved by Grace" and focus on being sinners. Then they walk around like weak, unworthy mites unable to have the relationship with God that we were designed to have.
When we "come boldly" they think we are somehow too proud, too vain and too demanding.

The other thing they choke on is the whole principal of spiritual dominion. They don't see believers as being able to assert themeselves and prophesy to things, or circumstances based on our dominion and the clear known will of God. They will only accept that God will move as we ask Him to (which is also true) but not that we would walk and talk and act like Jesus did on the earth. Of course, the disciples did, but that too is beside the point for them. | | |
