Deep dives
Importance of Trusting in God's Character and Goodness
Faith is not about psychological certainty or knowing that you're going to get what you're asking for. It is about having confidence in God's goodness and character. Faith is anchored in the belief that God is trustworthy, kind, and compassionate. It is understanding that our ultimate healing is guaranteed in the resurrection, and that God's love and care for us extend beyond our current circumstances. Trusting in God's character allows us to approach Him with requests for healing, knowing that He is capable and willing to intervene.
Misconceptions about Faith and Healing
There can be misconceptions about faith and healing, such as the idea that we are already healed and just need to wait for it to manifest. These beliefs can lead to confusion and inconsistency. Faith is not about denying our present condition, but about trusting in God's ability to bring about healing. While we may not always understand the timing or manner in which healing occurs, we can have faith that God is working in our lives and will provide what is best for us.
The Role of Faith in Requesting Healing
Having faith in God's character and goodness empowers us to boldly approach Him with requests for healing. Faith allows us to believe that God can and wants to bring about healing. It is through faith that we ask for healing, aligning our desires with God's will. While we may not always receive physical healing, our trust in God's ultimate plan allows us to seek His guidance and comfort in all circumstances.
Generational Curses and Breaking Free
Generational curses are discussed in the podcast, exploring the idea that negative patterns and sinful tendencies can be passed down through family lines. The hosts highlight examples such as workaholism, alcoholism, and promiscuity as patterns that can run in families. While they express discomfort with the term 'curse,' they acknowledge the reality of these generational patterns. They also emphasize the power of the new covenant in breaking free from these patterns, with the ongoing sanctification process and the Holy Spirit enabling believers to live differently. The importance of accountability, testing prophecies, and the influence of character and doctrine in prophetic ministry are also discussed.
Standards for Becoming a New Testament Prophet
The podcast addresses the question of the standards for becoming a New Testament prophet. The hosts note that while there may not be explicit standards spelled out in Scripture, prophetic ministry often involves experiences of encountering God, such as seeing visions or being taken into God's council. They differentiate between a prophet and someone with the gift of prophecy, highlighting the need for consistency, a track record, and affirmation from the community in recognizing someone as a prophet. They also emphasize the importance of testing and weighing prophecies, ensuring alignment with Scripture and accurate interpretation. The universal pouring out of the Holy Spirit and the inclusivity of all believers in receiving prophetic gifts are mentioned, challenging the cessationist view.
