024: A Better Alternative to Name It and Claim It Theology
Ever notice in the Bible that Jesus Himself never once named or claimed anything when praying to His Father in Heaven?
There, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.”
He stated His human desire, yes, but He surrendered to the will of the Father. His ultimate desire was the Father’s desire.
In the latest of episode of In the Meanwhile, we take a closer look at the whole teaching of Scripture and how it applies to the popular movement often referred to it as “Name It and Claim It.”
We also share a framework for developing a posture of submission to God’s will, and – hint, hint –it has everything to do with the progression of our thoughts to feelings to action.
