Hyper Faith and the Reality of Sin

Out of respect for the Evan's family, who are facing the imminent loss of Mrs. Loraine Evan's, wife of Andrew and mother of Ashley, David and Russel, I have withheld mention of a disturbing and developing trend. Until now. Mrs. Evans is dying from complications arising from cancer.

I do not know Mrs. Evans personally, and do not wish in any way to besmirch her name. Indeed, this post is not really about Loraine Evans at all. Rather, it concerns the disturbing and escalating proclamations of supernatural healing and divine words of knowledge from some pretty prominent people in the movement as well as laity, proclaiming a healing miracle WILL transpire.

And when it doesn't, what will happen to the faith of these people, and of those looking to them for guidance through grief? This really is a serious issue and the casualties of hyper-faith theology are many and most often silent. But I suppose the almost delirious zeal of those speaking if-so-facto for God Himself is what troubles me the most. And we are taking careful note of the proclaimers because believe it or not, false prophecies and those who utter them are still a no no! And people who do that stuff have no business near God's sheep.

The whole WF movement, worldview and collective vision hinges on the faith of its adherents. When Loriane dies this faith will be shattered, and the fallout will be very wide spread given the Facebook interest. Not because God failed to answer their prayers in the affirmative, but because their word / faith ideology is a doctrine of demons and as such brings all the sorrow of death itself.

Death for the believer is a mercy, and therefore should be the most joyous of all occasions should it not? To return for all time to our blessed Saviour, freed at last from this sin sick, mortal coil?

My condolences to the Evans family for their loss.
