Sovereignty & Grace

"God is powerless to do anything in this earth except what Christians allow through invoking His Name in prayer."

Source: Word of Faith International Christian Center teaching

Scripture refutation: Psalm 115:3, Daniel 4:35, Job 42:2, Isaiah 46:10, Ephesians 1:11

Keith Butler's claim that God is 'powerless' without Christian permission inverts the Creator-creature relationship. This teaching makes humans sovereign and God dependent — the exact opposite of biblical reality. Scripture declares that God 'does according to His will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth' and 'no one can restrain His hand' (Dan 4:35). The God of the Bible is not waiting for human permission. He is the Almighty, the Sovereign, the One who works all things according to the counsel of His will.
