David Diga Hernandez: 'God Is Waiting for Us to Move by Faith'

Why is this a red flag?

Hernandez teaches that 'we wait for God to move when He's waiting for us to move by faith.' This inverts the biblical order — placing human initiative before divine action. In the healing context, this creates a cruel implication: if you are not healed, it is because YOU have not moved by faith. God is waiting; you are the bottleneck. But Paul pleaded three times for God to remove his thorn — and God said NO, not because Paul lacked faith, but because 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness' (2 Corinthians 12:9). Paul left Trophimus sick at Miletus (2 Timothy 4:20) — no blame on Trophimus's faith. Timothy had 'frequent ailments' (1 Timothy 5:23) — Paul's prescription was wine, not more faith. The apostles themselves lived with unhealed conditions.

What does Scripture say about associations?

2 Corinthians 12:8-9

Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.'

NKJV

Paul — the greatest apostle — pleaded three times for healing and was told NO. God's answer was not 'move by faith' but 'My grace is sufficient.' Paul's thorn remained NOT because of insufficient faith but because God had a sovereign purpose in his weakness.

2 Timothy 4:20

Erastus stayed in Corinth, but Trophimus I have left in Miletus sick.

NKJV

Paul — who could heal through handkerchiefs (Acts 19:12) — left his own companion sick. He did not blame Trophimus's faith. He did not say 'God is waiting for you to move.' He simply left him sick. The apostle's practice contradicts Hernandez's theology.
