"The scene of Christ's temptation was to be a lesson for all his followers. When the enemies of Christ, by the instigation of Satan, request them to show some miracle, they should answer them as meekly as the Son of God answered Satan, "It is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." If they will not be convinced by inspired testimony, a manifestation of God's power would not benefit them. God's wondrous works are not manifested to gratify the curiosity of any. Christ, the Son of God, refused to give Satan any proof 151 of his power. He made no effort to remove Satan's "if," by showing a miracle. The disciples of Christ will be brought into similar positions. Unbelievers will require them to do some miracle, if they believe God's special power is in the church, and that they are the chosen people of God. Unbelievers, who are afflicted with infirmities, will require them to work a miracle upon them, if God is with them. Christ's followers should imitate the example of their Lord. Jesus, with his divine power, did not do any mighty works for Satan's diversion. Neither can the servants of Christ. They should refer the unbelieving to the written, inspired testimony for evidence of their being the loyal people of God, and heirs of salvation."
Thank you for the "heads-up" on the "Word of Faith" teaching. It sounds good - word of faith, but the teaching is heresy. If the Wikipedia article is correct, this doctrine is more insidious than most, as it stresses the Bible, but in a false manner.
The point that really made me sit up and take notice is the "little gods" quote. Ellen White has written that near the end the same rebellion as Korah, Dathan, and Abiram will be repeated. In reading about their rebellion, you will see that their main doctrine was that "we are all holy". Of course this is basically the unpardonable sin, as you cannot take correction if you are all holy. So if it is true we are all little "gods", then we will never receive the correction that is necessary for the church of Laodicea, and thus never receive the Latter Rain.
