A Faith That Fails: When Personal Experience Contradicts God’s Word
This sermon is a case study in the defense of a failed theological system. The speaker, an instructor for a prominent Word of Faith ministry, uses his personal health crisis to teach the core tenets of that heresy: that faith is a force, that believers should 'take authority' over symptoms, and that personal, subjective 'leadings' from God are the primary guide for life. This functionally denies the sufficiency of Scripture (Sola Scriptura) and presents a view of God whose actions are contingent on the believer's performance. The hermeneutic is entirely pretextual, using the Bible as a collection of proof-texts to validate a personal narrative rather than proclaiming the Christ of whom the Scriptures testify.
