What does that mean? What's wrong with claiming what one wants? The spirit world works on the whole self-fulfilling prophesy concept. IF one says they are poor, they'll be poor. If one worries that they'll get some sickness, then that's what will happen. The Bible says that our tongue is like the rudder of a ship or the bridle of a horse, it will steer out future based on what we say, whether it's for our benefit or detriment.

You fail to understand that God is sovereign. He knows what is best for you. It may be that He will have you go through trials and tribulations for reasons you cannot see.

You can name anything you want, but you have no power to really claim anything. Even your salvation is a gift from God. He gave it to you. You did nothing to deserve it.

If 'name it claim it' would work, why didn't Paul the apostle do it? It is because he knew that apart from Christ he could do nothing.

God never promised us riches, health or the good life on earth, He only promises to be with us through it all. That's why Paul wrote, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Wonder what I did wrong...I have a chronic disease but I didn't ask for it.

I say this in all Christian Love and sincerity, You need to read in 2Kings about king Ahab and his 850 false prophets and counsellors....and how the Lord sent an evil spirit to fill their mouths with lies that Ahab would believe....The reason? Because God the Father,was tired of Ahab not paying attention to His truth when it was spoken to him by the Lords true prophets. God doesnt pamper our flesh...He will ALWAYS,ALWAYS,ALWAYS...tell us the Truth...The real True, Prophet of God,will not defer to our flesh to save our feelings!! You would do better to listen to someone who exhibits humility,and heart rather than showmanship.... Also, we are not to bring accusations against any as God is the Judge...but we are to be Fruit Inspectors...Pray for Mr. Hinn....he really needs to know God's True Character sincerely in Christ, mag
