Shalom,
I was writing due to being curious as to how many here have ever enjoyed the work of Myles Munroe when it comes to the Faith Movement.
Growing up within WOF, there were many teachers in the camp that blessed me--be it Creflo Dollar, Jessie Duplantis and many others.
But out of all of the WOF teachers I enjoyed when it came to my time within the movement, he was perhaps among the top. For in my view, he always kept things focused upon the Kingdom of God and what the scriptures say about prayer.
Some of the series I'm having in mind can be found under the following, for the sake of trying to ensure all responding understand what I was talking about in specific:
Seeing his ministry in action, I've always felt that his mindset was always one of how to impact the culture for Christ and spread the Kingdom of God above all. The work of Dr.Myles Munroe has truly been a blessing to me when it comes to understanding that Jesus truly wants to use His people to get things done in the world....and not sit by thinking its all up to the Lord. Some reads that come to my mind are people works such as "The Purpose and Power of Praise & Worship" , concerning the nature of Sin (Seperation) & Holiness and how Christ identified with us to restore us back to being in the Prescence of God.
The other one is a book I read years ago and that was an EXCELLENT (IMHO) read entitled Rediscovering The Kingdom" . In that book, the man went in exceptional depth on what the role of the HOLY Spirit is, being seperated from God due to Sin, Jesus coming as a man (though he was fully God) to redeem us/take our place and many other things.
Of course, there are many who'd often make what seemed to be uncessary attacks upon the ministry of the man/the work he did. Others would often say that his views were "man-centered" simply because he stated that God works with men to get the job done...and prayer makes a difference. Others would also say that he was a "herectic" (claiming that he was Nestorian) due to his believing that Jesus had a dual nature---His physical body and His spirit being seperated even though they were joined......and others still said that he didn't agree with a Biblical view of sovereignty.
Concerning what Myles said on the nature of Christ, one can go here:
Kingdom Petitions & Prayer Protocols ~ 7 of 20 ~ Dr. Myles Munroe - YouTube
Some of this has actually occurred on the forums here---with some of those in opposition to Myles being some of the same posters that've often come here to these forums in either critiquing WOF or seeking to argue about it (sometimes needlessly)---as seen here in #1 for example...
Of course, all of the accusations that were brought up I vehemently disagree with. Though I'm not for the mindset that all opposed to things within WOF are not valid on other issues....and though I value many of them for things they've shared/discussed over the years, I must say that it has always been interesting to me seeing how many answers given directly in response to claims are often not dealt with.
There was once a time when it seemed one individual tried to post the work of a man known as Justin Peters--who did a critique of the WOF movement and discussed Myles Monroe as being in error when it came to prayer. Alot of folks were excited over it/claiming that it was a good review, though it was essentially taking a 1 minute clip of what WOF teachers said...and then running with it. To see the lack of addressment in what others were saying bothered me...and I've tried to go to bat for the man on more than one occassion, as seen here... and here /here. Studying Church History, I always thought that the claim of Myles being "for Nestorian error" was unfounded, as it didn't make any sense to claim someone was in error simply because they didn't agree with a dominant view on the nature of Christ. From what I've seen, to even claim Nestorian as "error" would be flawed since having a Nestorian perspective was actually the standard view in the church for a significant amount of time......and much of what was considered "herectical" was more so a matter of politics. As I've said elsewhere, those saying that one must agree with the "orthodox" view when opposing WOF don't really seem to realize that many times they're far from what was considered "Orthodox" within Church History.
For those who often have claimed that Myles is somehow preaching an "accursed gospel", I tend to be surprised to see at how they come to that conclusion.
For Myles has NEVER denied the Gospel of the Work of Christ when it comes to saying that Jesus is the way to salvation (I Corinthians 15), it always seemed to be a matter of stretching to say that this WOF teacher was somehow in error for what he taught on the nature of Jesus. To me, as well as to others, it seemed to be HIGHLY semantical. Moreover, I thought that the ways many sought to make it out as if Myles Munroe was against the concept of God's Sovereignty didn't seem to address where he was coming from---and I've sought to advocate alongside other WOFers on Myle's view on how to get things done when it comes to sovereignty/free will (as discussed here ).
If anyone here either enjoys the ministry of Myles Munroe or has faced similar situations where it seemed the man was not being understood properly, I'd love to hear about it sometime. As a guest on the forum, I am simply seeking to see feedback/sharing of thoughts on this excellent man of God--and whether or not anyone here has enjoyed him as much as I have.
