Are you one of them? And Ohio!!! It's NOT a stupid question !!!

WOF stands for Word of Faith. We take the PROMISES of the WORD of God and claim them, declare them as ours. I truly PRACTICE and WATCH my words very carefully. For Death and life are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21a)

I am going to quote an excerpt from a little booklet called 'Legally Yours':

"Too many people, if you just listen to them talk, including Christians, speak defeat, doubt, fear, sickness, disease, or death. They may think they are being humble or pious, but those are not God's words. God has not given to you a spirit of fear, but of POWER, of love, and a sound mind (II Timothy 1:7)

Speak what the Bible says. If you are a child of Almighty God, act like it and talk like it! Be humble, but KNOW who you ARE in Christ Jesus."


Now I'm going to quote from a book called "The Tongue - a Creative Force" by Charles A Capps.

Start Agreeing with the Word

Start agreeing with the Word that your prosperity is sure, physically, spiritually, and financially. The third epistle of John verse 2 says, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as they soul prospereth."

Now don't start praying that the wicked will lose everything they have. That will get you in trouble.

Just start confessing, "Thank You LORD GOD, the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the JUST.. [By the Blood of Jesus and by the Word of God, I am JUST. I am JUSTIFIED] & I will get my part by acting on the Word."

They haven't acted on the Word, and God said that the wicked shall be cut off. Their name will rot, and they shalll not be found.

Proverbs 14:3 says " In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them."

The lips of the wise will preserve him. They will preserve him through financial crisis. They will preserve him whey they say there's a recession or a depression. His lips will preserve him if he confesses what the WORD Says: if he acts on the Word.

These excerpts are examples of 'Word-Faith'...or Word of Faith. But many preachers focus on worldly prosperity. They use the Word of God to drum it into people how they can prosper financially. "Name it and Claim it in the Name of Jesus". That's why the Word of Faith 'movement' gets in trouble with the Lord.

Hope you got a better understanding of Word-Faith Ohio.
