Imposters Revealed!!!

The God of the Bible is neither at a loss for his own power, nor is he commanded of man.  It is he, alone, who rules, and he, alone, who is the source of all power.  I strongly encourage anyone who is under the indoctrination of a WoF teacher – be it a rock-star TV celebrity or a local church knock-off – to seriously consider the words of God himself on this subject. 

It is He who loved the world and gave his son for the redemption of sin.  It is He who creates, sustains, upholds and commands the entirety of the universe.  He is not at the disposal of any man nor does he require any man to give him aid.  His testimony is very different from the testimony of these impostors of his faith. 

He declares, Deuteronomy 32:39 (ESV) 39 “See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god beside me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.”

These are not the words of an incapacitated power.  They are not the words of One who needs man’s helping hand to get anything done.  This God is the source of all power and the recipient of no assistance. 

It is He of whom it is written, 1 Chronicles 29:11 (ESV) 11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.

While Copeland has the audacity to say, "God's on the outside looking in. He doesn't have any legal entree into the earth. The thing don't belong to Him. You see how sassy the Devil was in the presence of God in the book of Job? God said, "Where have you been?" Wasn't any of God's business. He [Satan] didn't even have to answer if he didn't want to ... God didn't argue with him a bit! You see, this is the position that God's been in ... Might say, "Well, if God's running things He's doing a lousy job of it." He hadn't been running 'em….." [56]

Job himself, a man who was refined by suffering and who spoke to God personally notes, Job 9:12 (ESV) 12 Behold, he snatches away; who can turn him back? Who will say to him, ‘What are you doing?’

Job 25:2 (ESV) 2 “Dominion and fear are with God; he makes peace in his high heaven. And God’s answer to Job’s trouble was simply, Job 41:11 (ESV) 11 Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.

In conclusion, the concepts of God "losing" his creation and being dependent upon man, are both utterly unsound theologically and rationally:  Theologically, because scripture never teaches nor even hints at God having lost his foothold on earth nor in all of creation, and rationally because one who loses his control over his creation cannot be rightfully called God, as he will have been usurped by one more powerful than himself.  To follow this flat-out postulate to its logical conclusion, God is no longer God at all, but is in fact at the mercy of others.  And, this supposition is precisely that of the Word of Faith movement's theology:  God is not in control on earth. 

Fred Price arrogantly confirms the status quo of this doctrinal nightmare, "Yes! You are in control! So, if man has control, who no longer has it? God." [57]

Indeed, the "little god" doctrine comes full circle in the WoF world view.  Man has not only become "like" God, but has trumped God's power entirely, making man fully in control of his own destiny and even the very actions of God.  Satan must be very proud of these men.  His original sin has come to fruition within the walls of the apostate church. 

Isaiah 14:14 (ESV) 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’

WoF teaching has found its niche in the hearts of a corrupt world, as through this illogical set of doctrines sinful man has received what he has always wanted.  He presumes himself to be in control, even over the very God which owns him. Please understand that these teachers are the enemies of Christ.  They intentionally malign his Word.  Unless they repent they will meet the judgment that Christ’s enemies will all succumb to.  For such destruction – for many – is the only means by which they will ever come to the truth. Psalm 83:17-18 (ESV) 17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace, 18 that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
