Phoebe Palmer on faith

 

phoebe palmer

 

Phoebe Palmer lived during the period of 1807 – 1874. She was a great woman of faith and many of her ideas of faith were passed down to other ministers who benefited from her teachings.

 

This is what she said:

 

There are laws which govern God’s “moral universe” just as there are laws governing the physical universe. This structure of moral or spiritual cause and effect is revealed primarily in the Bible… If one understands these laws and acts in accordance with them, it is certain that the designated means will achieve the desired ends… Faith’s “effects must of necessity follow, because the principles by which the kingdom of grace is governed are unchangeable.”

Phoebe Palmer (1807 –1874)

 

You can learn more about her by adding her as your “friend” at facebook.com. I believe one of her fans is maintaining the group.

The experience of EW Kenyon concerning righteousness

 

ew kenyon

EW Kenyon discovered that he is righteous and no longer had to perform even as a Christian to earn the favor and blessing of God. He had a similar experience to that of Martin Luther who uncovered “justification by faith alone”. Here is what he said in his diary:

 

Strange, I had never noticed it before. God Himself was to become my Righteousness the moment that I accepted Christ and confessed Him as my Lord. Then I remembered Romans 10:10, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Then 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” I couldn’t believe it at first. I struggled for days and days on this scripture. I knew that if I became the righteousness of God in Christ that I would never again depend on experiences. I had arrived. The thing that my heart had craved was here, but it would never become real to me until I confessed it before the world.

That Sunday morning, when I dared to say, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ,” was when I experienced what it meant. A strange quietness filled my whole being. A joy that I had never before experienced, filled my heart.

EW Kenyon Doctrinal Statement in 1899

 

ew kenyon

In 1899, a man of God by the name of EW Kenyon made a bold doctrinal stand for his Christian beliefs. You need to understand that the majority of the Christian crowd at that time did not have the revelation of the Word like we have today. There was a lack of understanding about the work of the Holy Spirit and the grace of God, yet one man, Kenyon, made a stand.

 

Here is what he believe:

  1. We insist that the Bible is the Word of God
  2. Absolute obedience to the Word of God
  3. That men live what they profess
  4. We insist that men are saved body, soul, and spirit from sin but are not saved while in sin
  5. That God will and does fulfill every promise in His Word, when we meet His requirements
  6. That the God of Israel is the God of today, and does the same mighty works today that He did then
  7. That Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that the same signs that followed the apostles, today follow those who believe.

 

Would you dare to believe in God’s Word even if it goes against the “grain”?

Patricia King and the spectacular










I was recently asked about Patricia King and the people who follows after their ministry at "Extreme Prophecy".

I posted the following reply, and I hope it may enlighten you too. This is only my personal opinion and no offense is meant.


I have listened to Patricia King's, Bob Jones' , Todd Bentley's and Joshua Mills's messages before. Their teaching centers around the spectacular and less on the Word. They use a lot of their personal experiences with angels, visions, dreams, gold dust, oil. I believed God can do all these no doubt, and gold dust have fallen on my body before. Others have seen these but I am careful to always point them to Jesus and not to the signs. People need to have faith in God's Word ONLY and not in other people's experiences. When Christians need help for their problems such as healing, they cannot believe based on the God who heals others, but they need to believe God based on the Word of God for themselves. Only then will they build on the right personal fellowship with God.

As for sound teaching, there are many others who gives sound teaching such as Andrew Wommack, EW Kenyon, Lester Sumrall, and of course, nothing is better than studying the Word for one own self. Due to the shortage of time in each day to study the Word, i have to prioritized my time, so i choose others instead of Patricia King etc. Once in a while, i do listen to their stories just to keep up to date of what they are doing, but because i desire deeper, i have to study the Word myself.

Todd Bentley have fallen out of the limelight after he admitted to a relationship with another lady besides his wife. Since then, he has divorced his wife and under supervision by other ministers. His gospel is faulty because he takes daily instructions from his angel Emma, and magnifies his angel more than the Word or even Jesus. Some people like these type of stories but i don't. I believe in angels very much, but God is the one who instructs angels to minister to us, not the other way round.

As a guide, I do most of my own study and cross referencing them with other solid New Covenant teachers.
