Deuteronomy 32:20  And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. Many years ago, my wife at that time thought it was wise to departed from our Baptist roots; her reasoning that the Church we were attending did not have any spiritual gifts.  Being new the man ways or wisdom of interpreting the Bible and new to married life I followed her blind lead.  Luke 6:39And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall not both fall into the ditch.We were about to be part of the faith movement: tongues, foot-washing, blab it and grab it. We were now Pentecostal and secretly I liked the new title, of being called Pentecostal. Job 32:22For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.We were now drunk on imagination and in our own spiritual darkness. Job 12:25 They grope in the dark without light and He maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.  Our wicked hearts imagining God's presence had something to do with the physical: jumping, shaking, weeping at a physical altar. Deuteronomy 29:19And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add DRUNKENNESS to thirst.  Some years later I would learn that carnal minded Preachers directed their message at the women knowing their income could be guaranteed by getting mentally into the women head: who controlled the man's wallet by sex. If the Preacher could plant a thought in her head, that the man should make more money to give to him. ''Women have you any loose change''? So, by evil imagination we spoke in unknown tongues and dances around in Church [DRUNK ON IMAGINATION] as God granted our first mortgage or was it because of our FICO score? Bible faith has nothing to do with obtaining physical things.  1 Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Man in his mind thinks his thoughts are higher than Gods and exalts his own knowledge against God's word. 1 Samuel 12:21 And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain. The vain things in the above verse are man carnal thoughts nothing physical, these thought against God's holy word must be cast down! 2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every though to the obedience of Christ. By man's imagination we went through two Church building programs with the same title: NOT EQUAL GIVING BUT EQUAL SACRIFICE’’.  My point is this has nothing to do with the God’s faith, only faith in our FICO score. Galatians 3:23  But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. The law is the carnal interpretation of God’s word, you have no FAITH until it is revealed. The law cannot justified you before GOD it does not reveal God's hidden word, but we are to keep Law by not adding our thoughts to it: THIS IS THE PLACE OF THE PROPHET. Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, be witnessed by the Law and the prophets. When we cannot ever take the time to study the Law of what the carnal mind can understand, God will not manifest the deep things of His words. Galations 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Man’s wisdom only reveals how get material things. Romans 3:21Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the Law is the knowledge of sin. Man's carnal interpretation on God's holy word is SIN. When God’s word is being revealed to us then we are no longer under the law but under grace. Romans 6:14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the Law, but under grace. Luke 8:25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? We should ask ourselves do we have Bible faith? Deuteronomy 32:20And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.  When God hides his face from us this happens; Proverbs 27:19As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. In other words we see our own reflection or our own thoughts on God’s word. God’s face is also His word. 1Corinthians 13:12  Shall I know even as also I am known. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I known even as also I am known. It does not take any faith to behold an image or reflection of yourself.  Romans 1:23  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.Man's so- called faith movement is not about faith but man's greed. This doctrine of devils has brought God's thinking down to man's level: liken unto a beast. 1 Corinthians 2:14But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. When I first started reading the bible, I could only receive what I know; natural things but if I wait on God's Spirit: afterward I can come into the Spiritual understanding. 2Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption. When a man or women gets up and starts preaching their own thoughts they are liken unto a beast. Jude 1:10But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.Deuteronomy 32:20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. A forward generation? Proverbs 4:24Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Proverbs 6:12A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. Forward deals with what coming out of our mouth when we claim we are speaking God’s word but are only speaking our sinful thoughts on his Holy word. Those Churches we had been attending do not teach on God's faith because it has not been revealed to them.1Samuel 3:7Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.  1 Corinthians 9:11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things.
