The Bible has a lot to say about righteousness by faith, including amongst others, Romans 3:21-22. I'll admit that for years I struggled with sin, less so nowadays, mainly in my thought life. I was always baffled by 1 John 3:9, which stated that a believer cannot sin if he has been born again...

I recently read Kenneth E Hagin's book Mountain Moving Faith. There are some things I would like to discuss about it. I was struck by the way brother Hagin always claimed by faith the finances he needed, rather than seeking extravegant material provision for selfish reasons. He never abused...

I find myself now, seeking faith for things that I didn’t learn from my WoF teaching. I suppose one reason for this, is that they are things that we often assume we are supposed to do or can do ourselves. Hagin would say that there’s God’s part and then there’s our part, when it comes to...

I had a rather bad fall at the weekend, which resulted in a painful back injury. I would love to apply Biblical faith to this situation, to see a quick and complete recovery. However, from Kenneth Hagin's teaching on faith for healing, I'm left believing that faith is to be applied to a...

Joel 2:25 New King James Version (NKJV) 25 “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. I'm sure many of you will be familiar with God's promise in Joel 2:25...

I've often struggled with faith in the past, for one reason or another. I think one of the reasons for this is that I've likely been believing for the wrong things. It could be wrong because it's not right for me at that time - or at any time. Perhaps its right, but there are other more...

I get the impression from the Word of Faith teaching I've been exposed to, that people tend to mainly pursue those things with a physical, outward manifestation - such as healing and finances. That's fine and Biblical, of course. However, to me, there seems to be less emphasis on the pursuit...

I’ve been thinking a lot about divine favour recently. I know that the Bible shows us prime examples of favour, such as Joseph finding favour with the keeper of the prison and Daniel finding favour with King Nebuchadnezzar. In my own life, I see my need for divine favour. I’ve personally...

Jesus said he is the Light of the world. We are told to "walk in the light". What does this mean and how are we to achieve this by faith?

In the New Testament the word “life” is often a translation of the Greek word “zoe”, which means “the life of God.” Zoe can relate to a being “existing” – but I believe there is more to it than that. For me, zoe refers to all-round wholeness and wellbeing: spiritually, mentally, emotionally...

I'll admit that I've never really had a successful prayer life. After reading many of Kenneth Hagins books, I came to see that a lot of people's asking prayers were made in fear. Hagin presented a better way of praying, by looking to the Word, what it says you already have, then confessing...

I believe in WoF, which I believe is adherence and trust in the Bible as God's Word. But I do seek truth and balance. I believe it could be important to tell the difference between the Word of God and the New Covenant. The Word of God spells out to Noah the dimensions of the ark: 300 cubits by...

I understand that the focus on miracles in Word of Faith and the charismatic church help to remove any limits we might impose of God. But I think it also feeds the imagination of insecure people in an unhealthy way; this leads to unrealistic expectations. Kenneth Hagin’s books give us a...

I got into WoF in the late nineties, through Kenneth Hagin’s books. I was attending a WoF oriented church at the time, which experienced signs and wonders. My efforts with faith declarations didn’t work for me. I then transitioned into the grace message in the mid-noughties, and followed...
