Is the "Word of Faith" or "Name it, Claim it" theology Biblical or New Age?

Bible Verses

Ps. 101:3

Matt. 6:22-23

1 John 4:1

Acts 19:19

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood - that makes today a "Brighter Day"

This is Jay and Phee and this is the Brighter Day morning show. Alright, I am just one half... not good playing solo, but together, we make a dynamic duo... like two peas in a pod... not twins... more like Twix... we give you something sweet but with some real substance in the mix. That means you have to chew on what you've heard and learned, always Christ's perspective, and apply the word.

Listen, it's our desire to be a voice to provoke and inspire, but to cause an awakening in you is our great desire.

In this episode, we continue exploring the origins of our modern day superheroes and comics. Are there parallel themes, events, and people to the mythology? To the Bible? In our J.A.M. Review, we check out “Come to Life” by Kanye West.

Vision - To raise up a Joshua generation by bringing connection between the Rod (Joshua) and the Sword (Moses) generations

Mission -

3) To empower young people and youth leaders to go back to their churches with vision and a strategy to reach and disciple their young people

In this episode, we debate the Biblical support for the “Name it Claim it Doctrine”? Is it Biblical? Does it please and honor God? What message does it send? (Disclaimer: We apologize for the technical difficulties in the sound. However, we didn't want to attempt to recreate a spontaneous debate. Please explore the resources below.)
