A Mom loses her Baby and later concludes The Word of Faith teaching is equivalent to Witchcraft

When I read the following, it reminded me of my own loss of a baby. I was only at six weeks in my pregnancy when I miscarried. The day I found out I was going to have a baby was the happiest day of my life, next to my wedding day. I’ll never forget what that was like. But soon those hopes and expectations began to slowly crumble as something went wrong in my body. I had well meaning Christian women back then tell me, “Do not fear or the thing you fear will come upon you.” One particular woman came over to bring me a loaf of home made bread. She prayed for me, more or less telling me not to fear or I would cause the baby to die. I had people rebuking the devil off me and my baby. “It is not God’s will that you lose this baby. You must fight against it.” I would look at some of these women — some of them who homeschooled their children — and who had given birth at home through midwives — and thought to myself, surely they know what they are talking about, because they have children. I made the mistake of thinking they were somehow more spiritual just because they were a mother.

I did not want to be responsible for my baby’s death, so I did my best rebuking the devil, claiming the baby for God, through the pain and blood that miscarrying brings. Two friends, who were not in the name -it claim -it gospel, lovingly spoke to me, telling me it was not my fault, that it was ok to let go. I had not told them, but a day or so before, I had an impression that God was trying to let me know the same thing.

After it was all over with and I was able to go back to Church, I felt very conspicuous. It felt like other women were thinking along these lines: “There’s the woman who could not pray enough for her baby. She didn’t try hard enough. Because she was afraid, her worse fear came upon her. If only she had enough faith.” Whether anyone actually thought this, I don’t know. But if a woman had people telling her somehow it is within her power through what they call faith, to stop a miscarriage, then what else is a woman to think?

We do not always know the reasons behind things. I spent a number of years asking God “why?” “Why not give me a baby? Why do you let others have babies and not me?” At almost 60 years old, I no longer ask. I am content now. It does not matter to me anymore. One day I will know and it all will make complete sense. What does bother me though, are the many barren women out there who for some reason or another find yourself in the same place I was years ago. You have people telling you the same things I was told. Do not let people tell put this upon you. It is not only a form of witchcraft, it completely ignores God’s sovereignty. His ways are higher than ours.

On “Word of Faith” or “Believing Prayer” Movements

I’ve picked on the occult, media, Messianic Judaism, Harry Potter, and Beth Moore. I’ve picked on “spiritual disciplines”, tithing, and missionaries, “Purpose-Driven”/Emerging churches, pragmatism, Biblical authority, ecumenism, and a variety of Christian-living topics.

But until now I haven’t picked on the one topic that can make me mad as a hornet, quicker than anything (which surprises me, actually). I am usually passionate, though diplomatic about topics, even more so when speaking to non-Christians.

I enjoy the mutual exchanging of questions and learning about other people (but I do not like accusations). This subject however, brings a lot of personal emotions to the surface because I lived this worldview for a brief and very painful time.

Putting my faith in sincere and well-intentioned spiritual elders, my spouse and I bought into this worldview hook, line, and sinker at the start of our young marriage, and especially when our first-born was diagnosed with a fatal heart anomaly in utero.

We were promised that “if we had faith” (if we believed hard enough) God would have to heal her. We read in proponents’ books, about certain “spiritual laws” that God was bound by (ha!). We were told that only certain people must be told about the baby’s condition; those discerning few who really knew how to pray “correctly” for her; to “pray believing”.

Here is an example (from CBN’s website) on how to pray believing for “your personal” miracle (though they give themselves an out by not guaranteeing your desired outcome). http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/CBNTeachingSheets/Can_I_Be_Healed.aspx

To my eternal regret, we hurt and deceived a lot of people by essentially lying about the baby’s condition, because if you admitted there was a problem, even allowed yourself the tiniest thought there might be a problem, you wouldn’t get your miracle (in New Age circles this idea is called “positive thinking” to an extreme, and obviously unhealthy end).

In my naiveté and desperate hope, I clung to the belief my baby would live even after she lay dead in my husband’s arms. I firmly believed God would bring her back from the dead (and I know now how crazy this all sounds) and awe all the nay-saying doctors.

It wasn’t until her graveside funeral a week later, when we pulled up to the outdoor awning and I saw her casket, that reality finally hit me. It hit me so hard I refused to get out of the car. I didn’t want that reality; that was not what I had worked and prayed and vainly hoped and “believed in faith” so hard for.

But the death of my Elizabeth Ann nearly nine years ago, has spurred me to look before I leap, and research and study my Bible harder than ever. I can now say unequivocally that the Word of Faith movement doesn’t work based on my experience, and it is very un-Biblical.

The most hurtful thing after Elizabeth’s death was the lack of apology on the part of those who had pushed their beliefs so hard. Rather than admitting the obvious (this system failed), they pulled away from my husband and I and grew distant and remained quiet. Worst of all, they continue to believe in and promote this garbage.

That is when I become very angry. The same people who convinced me of their beliefs and themselves held my dead baby or attended or spoke at the funeral, refuse to admit their mistake and seem intent on dragging other people through the hell that I went through.

It may just be my perception, but it appears this movement is growing. Take note however: this movement is merely witchcraft* in disguise. The idea of having to say prayer in a particular (i.e. ritualistic, formulaic, or prescribed) manner is a key occult practice; they call it incantation or spell-casting. The idea that God must abide by/is bound by certain rules He laid out in His creation seems blasphemous-we can never be God’s puppeteers. But this is also a key occult practice; trying to bend the natural or supernatural world and its residents to a “knowledgeable” (i.e. magician) human will.

A third underlying idea is that of keeping secrets, or being made to feel elite in the secret mysteries and understandings of God. The word “occult” literally means “hidden”, and there have always been a plethora of secret societies and mystery religions.

But Christianity is not one of them. The Bible is a collection of historical accounts on all the ways the God of the Bible has revealed Himself to people (not just the Israelites) throughout the ages. Daniel 2:47 says God is a “revealer of mysteries”. As God He could be mysterious, but He desires to be known by us and has revealed Himself for our benefit (http://www.gci.org/god/is2).

Other occult aspects that a particular Word of Faith group may or may not be involved in include divination (reading “signs from God” in tea leaves, hair, wood, screen doors, bird migration patterns, bones, entrails, etc.); protective amulets and talismans including lucky charms, blessed cross necklaces and the like (see: http://www.amuletgifts.com/Christian-Amulets/); astrology (reading the stars to determine God’s path for your life, like horoscopes); “special” prayers, blessings, or adjurations (words against demons) to bring health, wealth, children, etc. (like this: http://www.thejabezprayer.com/); music, scents (candles, oils, or incense-also known as aromatherapy), gems, or herbs with purported (i.e. not scientifically backed) properties/powers/abilities, especially in the area of healing or cleansing the spirit (see: http://www.tbnwebstore.org/product.asp?sku=0793573777690 or http://www.abbaoil.com/c-9-anointing-oil.aspx); rituals or formulaic practices for better communion with God, protection, healing, cleansing, etc. (labyrinths, special prayer routines, meditation/contemplative practices, spiritual disciplines, extreme positive thinking, being in God’s presence**, etc. etc.)

(A few examples: http://www.christianbook.com/soul-detox-clean-living-contaminated-world/craig-groeschel/9780310333685/pd/333685?event=1010SG|1154706|1010

or http://www.christianbook.com/calling-deluxe-edition-enjoying-peace-presence/sarah-young/9781404187825/pd/187825?item_code=WW&netp_id=749896&event=1010|1154706|1010|1154706|1010&view=details).

Understand those who practice these things generally have a scripture or two or three that appear to back their position. After having studied my Bible a bit better, I have come to the realization that God did not fail my family, false prophets did.

It is so vital to not just read a passage in context of its sentence, but in some cases whole sections and even several chapters are needed to understand it in full (this is where many devotional books and Bible studies fail).

If you want to get to know God better, simple prayer and Bible reading is the only way to do it. It is not glamorous and will not usually involve an experience. It will not cater to our human nature to act on or do something. And the Bible does not promise health, wealth, protection, or mysteries to unravel. The only way to “spiritually detox” is through repentance, forgiveness, and the grace of the cross.

*It is rather ironic that practitioners of this movement like to define rebellion as synonymous with “witchcraft”, based on the misunderstanding of 1 Sam. 15:23 (here is an example of this misunderstanding turned “ministry”: http://www.mcleanministries.com/custom.html).

**Being “in God’s presence” or inviting the Holy Spirit “to come” is a nice, super-Christian thought. But if we are Christians, the Bible says we have the Holy Spirit (which is God) living in us, Romans 8:11, Acts 2:4, John 3:34, and John 20:22.

Therefore, we cannot invite the Holy Spirit to come more, nor can we purposefully cultivate a sense of God’s presence. These are merely emotional or supernatural highs that we can easily become addicted to. Remember also the Bible also describes a deceptive Satan and demons, as well as God and His angels.

Below are a host of other sources for your researching pleasure, but as always please do balanced research and always read your Bible in context. (Note: the last link is to a book I was given to read and be “inspired” by for my “faith”)

The “Jesus Culture” – a petri dish for growing young new heretics?

bzel333: The Jesus Culture Conferences are teaching biblical error. Some biblical errors are more obvious than others. One error that can be hard to detect is the “different gospel” that is taught and preached consistently throughout Jesus Culture’s teachings. It is “Word of faith” and signs and wonders and not at all Christ centered and cross focused. If you are planning to attend a Jesus Culture Conference, I would strongly reconsider attending.

APOSTATE LIE: Coming Supernatural Wealth Transfer

Video is below

Talk about taking scripture out of complete context! THIS, Bride of Christ is a fine example of these apostates setting you up NOW to start giving your finances to them before all hell breaks loose in the economy.

Benny Hinn teaching wealth transfer. This is what witchcraft in the church looks like. It is appalling!

“When God blesses you, He blesses you big. And the Bible says you don’t have to work for it.”

What an out right lie! BH’s lie gives people the impression that money is just going to come to them without any action on their part.

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.
— 2 Thessalonians 3:10 –

He is helping people to stumble in the faith if they end up not being able to feed their own family! 

But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. — 1 Timothy 5:8 –

I am amazed how these deceivers ALWAYS use examples from the old testament instead of going to the new testament. The New Testament teaches us that Jesus had no place to lay His head. Did HE have all the riches this world has to offer? Certainly not.

BH uses Abraham, Issacc, Jacob, Joseph, Israel, and Soloman as examples of the rich. All taken from the old testament. He says there were six of them and now, “You are number 7.” Most of us know by now these heretics are using numerology with their use of numbers to back up their teachings as some kind of ordinance from God. God is nowhere in this.

“You are number seven, on your way to heaven.”

I do not claim to know who is going to heaven. But this is scarey, church. Here is a man telling a group of people they all are going to heaven. False assurance?

“God is going to give you the wealth of the sinner.”

Greed! He has just helped the church to covet by desiring what is someone else’s — sinner or not!

There is a chance to buy Benny hinn’s book on teaching you how to receive the wealth of the wicked. KACHING. Right into Hinn’s bank account!

He’s got his creepy MANIPULATING/WITCHCRAFT voice at 7:30 “You people listen to me well. If you don’t obey god today, you’re going to lose tomorrow.” That finger of his pointed as if he is some great truth speaker.”People who disobeyed in the old and new testaments were cut off.”

A fear tactic. Remember that.

At this point he tells a cutesie little story that brings some laughter. Now whether he did this to break down some resistance or not, God knows. Personally, I think it is every bit of a type of mind control and they know exactly how to work a crowd.

He goes on by giving examples of how he gave thousands of dollars when he was broke. Of course this was many years ago and no proof of any such thing. Even if there were proof, it does not mean God is requiring you to give your money to these deceitful workers of iniquity.

He explains he was so broke and god told him to give up his last 10 cents. This is preparing the people even more to empty their wallets as he shares this pathetic sob story!

“I’m gonna ask you to do what I did that day…I don’t know why god told me to give athousand dollars…something in my being told me to give a thousand.”

He continues by telling the people if they do what he will ask them, it will be the best thing that happens to them and their family.

Never mind if they will have food on the table, never mind if they have a house payment or bills to pay. Just fork it over to the man in the fancy suit!

“And as you pray, god is going to talk to you. Then I want you come down here and sow a thousand dollars in the Lord’s work…God has already placed a thousand dollars in your hands. You have it some place. I know you have other plans for it, but god has just changed your plans.”

“I’m standing here because of my obediance of so long ago.”

No, he is standing there because people have propped him up for decades and made him a billionaire!

This whole charade leads to the teaching of offerings. No surprise there. BH is preparing the people to empty their wallets in hopes of getting some of that wealth and the only one walking away from this with money in their pocket is Benny hinn! WAKE UP CHURCH!

Do not come here and try to defend this man. Your comment will not be posted. If you want to believe this stuff, you are free to do so. You deserve to have every cent taken from you in the days to come.

As for the sheep who are coming out from among them, continue to test all things. You do not have to be afraid of the teachings of Benny Hinn. Do not let him put a yoke on you.

Phony Preacher Ernest Cadick faces trial for fraud

This man stole from the flock of God. He had been endorsed by one of the most leading and prominent preachers/pastors in Louisville — Bob Rodgers of Evangel World Prayer Center. I’m not saying that Rodgers knew of the deceit. More than likely, he did not. As he was just one of many pastors a few years back – having no discernment –  who endorsed the likes of Tod Bently.

More on this fleecing can be found here: http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20110612/NEWS01/306120091

http://www.arcamax.com/religionandspirituality/religiousnews/s-904597

Now to those who would love to quote the scripture “love covers a multitude of sin,” I will say to you: You are a wolf if you think we are to keep these things covered up. Where was Bob Rogers and other preachers like him, when this man was allowed to come in a steal from the very ones God entrusted them with? Why did they not — from the pulpit – stand up and warn the sheep of this crook?

A lot of people had their life savings stolen from them. Yet, I will say the root to this is greed. The Word/Faith doctrine appeals to greed. Give to me and God will bless you.

Cadick used fear to manipulate people into handing over their money. Their greed, their desires to have their ears tickled led them straight to a lying thief.

Rogers said he is not “taking up for him one bit.” But he said, “In Ernie’s eyes I don’t think he felt like he was taking advantage of anyone.”

Sorry pastor Rogers, that just does not ring true to me. One has to ask what you gain by not coming out strongly against what this man did. Sounds like Rogers has more in common with wolves than he does with sheep.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI) — A Kentucky evangelist went on trial in federal court in Louisville Monday on charges he bilked parishioners out of more than $700,000 in oil and gas scams.

Ernest Cadick allegedly pulled scams in Kentucky and Indiana, selling bogus oil and gas investments to some churchgoers and telling others he would invest their money in Switzerland, where, he allegedly said, it would double every month, The (Louisville) Courier-Journal reported Monday.

Cadick faced 16 counts of fraud for allegedly soliciting money for oil and gas projects and foreign currency investments. Prosecutors said he spent the money on himself instead.

The 60-year-old Cadick also will be tried July 11 on three counts of theft for allegedly bilking elderly victims out of $29,500 in a Swiss investment scam, prosecutors said.

Cadick, an ordained minister, allegedly used prophesies in the Bible’s Book of Revelation to fleece churchgoers at Louisville’s Evangel World Prayer Center.

He allegedly told potential investors how they could double their investments every month if they let him invest their funds in Switzerland.

In a pretrial memorandum, Assistant U.S. Attorney Bryan Calhoun said Cadick would pray with potential victims about their investments.

Cadick and his attorney declined to comment on the cases.

Joel Osteen’s New Age Life Now?

http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/article.php?articleid=6645

By Brannon Howse

“Whatever you conceive you can achieve.”

With this favorite karma-changing promise, New Agers believe you need only use the “unlimited” power and consciousness of your mind to bring about all your dreams, desires and wishes.

Cloaked in a “Christian” package, Joel Osteen’s Your Best Life Now, bears an uncomfortable and dangerous similarity to this most popular of New Age claims. Sample a few of the Osteen versions:

• “You will produce what you’re continually seeing in your mind. If you foster an image of defeat and failure, then you’re going to live that kind of life. But if you develop an image of victory, success, health, abundance, joy, peace, and happiness, nothing on earth will be able to hold those things from you.” (page 5)

• “You must conceive it in your heart and mind before you can receive it.” (page 6)

• “You must look through your ‘eyes of faith’ and start seeing yourself as happy, healthy and whole.” (page 15)

• “What you will receive is directly connected to how you believe.” (page 22)

• “We receive what we believe.” (page 72)

• “Learn how to conceive. Keep the image of what you want to become in front of you. You’re going to become what you believe.” (page 81)

Osteen now travels the country, packing out stadiums with his happy-talk. But I’d like to see Osteen pay a visit to China, preach his “your best life now” drivel, and see how Christians there respond. Let Osteen look into the eyes of Pastor Lei who has been repeatedly arrested and beaten for preaching the Word of God in his church-a church not licensed by the Chinese government. How would the American’s best life work out for Pastor Lei and his congregation? Perhaps their jail time for the Gospel would give them time to assess Rev. Osteen’s claims.

Perhaps when and if these false teachers spend some time in jail themselves for just being a Christian (that is, if they truly are), they will see the error of their teaching. But for now, why should they preach anything different? It has made them rich by fleecing the flock of God!

Have these and countless other persecuted Christians been beaten, jailed and murdered because they “received what they believed,” or did these terrible things happen to them because they did not “develop an image of victory, success, health, abundance, joy, peace, and happiness”?

Were eleven of Jesus’ disciples martyred because, “they received what they believed”? Were the disciples living under a “curse of poverty and defeat” as Osteen says of so many? Here’s a role call of questions I’d like to ask Mr. Osteen. Why is it, Joel, that:

• Paul and Matthew were beheaded?
• Barnabas was burned to death?
• Mark was dragged to death?
• James, the less, was clubbed to death?
• Peter, Philip, and Andrew were crucified?
• Thomas was speared to death?
• Luke was hung by the neck until dead?
• Stephen was stoned?

How would these disciples take to the best-life message?

Yes, I know. Joel’s promises sound so much better to American ears than all those warnings of Jesus about being hated by most people for His sake. But it remains that in large measure, Joel’s offering can be described as nothing less than blasphemy. On page 36, he claims, “God has a big dream for your life.” On page 56: “God sees you as a champion. He believes in you even more than you believe in yourself!” And on page 110: “God has confidence in you.”

Let it be said: God is not impressed with any thing or any body. The ONLY thing that impresses Him, is His Son. Jesus and Jesus alone, is the sweet smelling aroma before the Lord.

Osteen does not provide a single Bible verse to back up these statements…because there are none. Nowhere in the Bible do we read that God believes or has confidence in us. He loves us, but does not believe in us. On the contrary, He knows all too well how unbelievably fickle and untrustworthy we humans actually are. It’s not like Joel describes on page 57: “Believe it or not, that is how God sees you, too. He regards you as a strong, courageous, successful, overcoming person.”

Furthermore, God does not define our success in materialistic terms as Joel does. God is interested in our obedience above all. On page 63, Joel writes:

As long as you are pressing forward, you can hold your head up high, knowing that you are a “work in progress,” and God is in the process of changing you. He’s looking at your last two good moves.

Joel, where in the Bible do you read that God is not looking at our last two bad moves but our last two good moves? Isaiah 64:6 says that even our righteous deeds are like filthy rags or wickedness to God because He is so holy. Even if God did look at our last two good moves, He would still see filthy rags.

Or how about this Osteen gospel gem from page 95:

“Be the best you can be, then you can feel good about yourself.”

Where in the Bible do we find this teaching? What if your best is getting drunk just once a week instead of twice a week? Should you still feel good about yourself?

But wait. I’ve saved Joel’s most outrageous statement for last (drum roll please). On page 144, Joel elevates us to the heavenlies by pointing out that “You may even need to forgive God.”

Whoa! And exactly what would we be forgiving God for? As I recall, forgiveness is for sins-or at least mistakes. But which of those has God made? Not a one according to any Bible I’ve ever read.

Oswald Chambers offers a perspective on the kind of thing the Osteens of the world do to Christians: “Satan’s great aim is to deflect us from the center. He will allow us to be devoted to the death to any cause, any enterprise, to anything but the Lord Jesus.”[1] Hebrews 13:9 instructs us to not be carried away by all sorts of strange teachings (deflected from the center) but sadly, that is exactly what is happening for many at the hand of Joel Osteen.

Instead of pursuing our best life now, we should pursue the things of the Lord so we can have our best life later. I fear that for many who follow Joel’s false teaching, this life is the best they will get. The false gospel proclaimed by Joel Osteen and accepted as truth by millions may allow many to achieve what they can conceive of the things in this world, but true to Jesus’ promise, they may lose their souls in the pursuit.

Kenneth Copeland’s speaks LIES in God’s Name

Thanks to the Mad Jewess for sending me the following. My comments in green:

Your Finest Hour Is Yet to Come

by Kenneth Copeland

“No, no, no, no, this is not the time,” saith the Lord, “of the downfall of your nation. Your nation is under covenant with Me,” saith the Lord.

If America has ever been at covenant with the Lord, that covenant has been broken over and over. God owes us nothing.

“You are witnessing not the failure of the United States, you are witnessing the failure of a worldly financial system that has eroded over the years.”

Copeland lies. We ARE too witnessing the failure of the United States. The failure comes from the many sins this nation has committed. Let us start with human sacrifice in the name of women’s rights — ABORTION. Not to mention the many sexual sins of immorality. Fornication, adultery, beastility and homosexuality. The debachery that comes out of Hollywood and the music industry. Does one really think God winks at such things?! 

“My Word of prosperity, My Word of function, My Word that this nation began on and prospered beyond any nation in the history of this world. No, the United States is not falling. No! I will not allow that to happen,” says the Spirit of Grace.

Copeland lies again. Where are we promised in the Word of God that this nation will not fall? In fact we are told — warned — that this nation, along with the rest of the world, will fall. Copeland speaks from his own wicked greedy heart.

“How foolish do you think I am to allow the cradle of the gospel to fall from its limb? How foolish do you think I am? No, I remember your deeds, I remember the gospel that’s come from this nation. I remember,” saith the Lord, “that this is the most giving nation in history and I will not, I will not, I will not let you go.”

What a foolish man Copeland is! He lies to tickle the ears of his followers. Yes, God remembers the gospel that has come from this nation. It has corrupted every contry on earth! How can God forget the damnable heresies that has been birthed here and went out to the nations? God will judge! 

Hallelujah. Give the Lord praise, hallelujah.

“No, no, no, no, your finest hour is yet to come and it is on its way and it’s being born at this very time.” Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah.

In one hour Babylon will fall. Need I say more?

“No, no, no, I did not bring this financial disaster on this nation. Now some have said this is judgment. It is judgment but I’m not bringing judgment on this nation.”

Copeland lies again. WHY are we any different than any other nation on the face of the earth? We aren’t. Does Copeland and his followers believe because of any good works we have done, somehow we are exempted from God’s judgment? To believe that is to overlook the abominations in this nation. And many of them within the church!

“The seed of sin and Babylonian-world thinking has in itself its own judgment and its own disaster. And when you continue to walk out of line with My Word and My plan and My way you will eventually fail.”

What Copeland really means: “give to my ministry or you are out of God’s will.

“It’s not this nation that’s failing, it is the system that it has eroded into by getting away from My Word and depending on Me. But fear not. I have My eye on it and it will go only so far and no further,” saith the Lord.

Copeland is setting up a false sense of peace and safety.

Hallelujah. “And you will see it, you will see it, you will be in it, you will be involved in the greatest spiritual awakening that this nation has ever seen. This is My time,” saith God. Give the Lord praise and thanksgiving.

“Spiritual awakening,” my foot! This nation is going down because of the many abominations it (we) have committed against a holy God. Most within the apostate church! They (the liars and deceivers in the church) know that if they spoke the truth to you, you would be keeping your money and planning for hard times. But they will not speak the truth to you because they are too busy building their little kingdoms on earth with your finances. Living in their fancy mansions, flying in their personal planes, driving their expensive cars, wearing their expensive jewelry and suits — while you scrimp and save — yet some of you give out of GREED, as if God was your very own personal genie in the sky. And if you just give to God’s annointed, then you too will prosper with all the goodies. Foolish ones! The only ones prospering are the wolves! They make merchandise of you! Come out from among these whoring teachers or you too will receive the plaque that is coming to them!

The LEGALISM in Word Faith doctrine

Joyce Meyers: “You know, dying to self is not a requirement to go to heaven…”

Who are we going to believe? Joyce Meyers or Jesus? Who are we going to trust with our eternal souls? Meyers of Jesus?

Did Jesus not say, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. – Matthew 16:24-27 –

I dare not trust in the words of apostate Joyce Meyers. We are fools if we do.

“God wants you to drive a nice car and have a nice wardrobe. And live in a nice home and have good promotions. He wants you to have great social life. He wants you to have the best of what the world has to offer.”

Really? We can see who has all that the world has to offer; the likes of Lady Gaga, Madonna, politicians, news media, leaders both in the world and church, Hollywood, the music industry, the eletists — so many have ALL the world has to offer and yet it means nothing when it comes to their soul. All the riches of the world will not buy them entrance into heaven.

If this gospel does not work where for our brothers and sisters who are SUFFERING for the true Gospel in nations where the mere mention of Jesus will get your head chopped off, where you are thrown in prison for your beliefs, where you are stoned, where you are persecuted for daring to speak the truth — it is NOT THE TRUE GOSPEL. God says, “come out of her (the whore) my people and be ye seperate.”

Do not bother trying to defend this woman to me. I’ve told you the truth. What you do with it, is your buisness. You have been warned.

Transfer of Wealth Conference??

I found this video here:

http://www.alittleleaven.com/2010/08/transfer-of-wealth-conference.html

I love the way the author put it: At least they’re honest, sort of. What they’re not exactly telling you is that the wealth that will be transferred is the wealth of the attendees of the conference. Their wealth will be transferred to the speakers of the conference under the pretense that if you give your wealth to them then God will give you more wealth in return. This is the “Christian” version of a ponzi scheme and its a total scam. God’s word doesn’t teach this nonsense.

My opinion: APOSTACY! COME OUT FROM THE WHORE WHO IS PRETENDING TO BE THE BRIDE OF CHIST! God is going to judge this!

Is Paula White the “High Priest” now???

I believe God Himself would have struck down dead those who would have tried to get by with this in the days of Moses and Aaron. Where does it say you get some kind of little trinkets for giving to God? Where does it say that teachings can be bought? Where does it say this is ok? It does not. This is more whoredom from Paula White as she pimps the Word for her gain.

Following taken off Paula White’s site:

http://www.paulawhite.org/atonement

We all face times of personal crisis and are often troubled by the turmoil in the world. But I have good news for you!

Paula White is a thief come to steal.

In Exodus 30, God commanded Moses on how to atone for the sins of the people of Israel. He said the high priest would meet Him at the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant (Exodus 30:6) once a year:

“And Aaron shall make atonement upon its horns once a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonement; once a year he shall make atonement upon it throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord” (Exodus 30:10).

This year the Day of Atonement is September 18th – and as God’s Holiest Day of the Year, the Day of Atonement is God’s way of providing an opportunity for His people to seek reconciliation and honor Him with sacrifice.

The Day of Atonement not only provides for you to become “at one” with God, but also gives you the opportunity to receive EIGHT SPECIFIC PROMISES from God. The blessings that follow are reserved for those who are obedient to His holiest day and to His commandments.

We become one with God when we are born into his Kingdom. She is adding to the word of God for her gain.

1. INCREASE (Joel 2:23).
2. REVELATION (Joel 2:24).
3. FRESH ANOINTING (Joel 2:24).
4. GOD’S POWER (Joel 2:24).
5. RESTORATION (Joel 2:25).
6. FINANCIAL ABUNDANCE (Joel 2:26)
7. NO SHAME BUT DELIVERANCE (Joel 2:27, 28)
8. GOD’S PRESENCE (Joel 2:28).

The Lord also commanded that no one appeared before Him empty-handed: “…and they shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed. Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you” (Deuteronomy 16:16-17).

Ah ha, she has the the old guilt thingy going. Don’t come empty handed. In other words, be prepared to give to HER. 

Every individual was commanded as they sought reconciliation and blessings to bring their VERY BEST SACRIFICIAL OFFERING to covenant with God. That is what I also ask you to do today.

When you send your best sacrificial Day of Atonement offering, to help you better understand this profound Holy Day of God, I want to send you:

• My brand new three-CD sermon series, “The Meeting Place.” This powerful audio teaching will take you beyond the borders of faith as you experience the power and blessing of living in covenant with Him through the atonement.

• SEVEN BLESSINGS OF THE ATONEMENT by Steve Munsey. In this book, pastor, author, biblical scholar, and my friend Dr. Steve Munsey reveals the seven incredible blessings found in the Day of Atonement and how you can see them at work in your life.

Steve Munsey, another who pimps the Word for his gain.

• For your best Atonement Offering of $70 or more, you’ll also receive the beautiful, ornate replica of the “Ark of the Covenant” for home or office, the perfect reminder of the covenant of forgiveness and blessings God has provided through His atonement.

Church, for all the talking these apostates do about being in a new covenant, they sure try hard enough to bring you under bondage to the old covenant. Paula White can not atone for our sins no more than the trinkets and teachings she offers.

She has somehow managed to set herself up as some kind of high priest.

Just more witchcraft going on within the harlot pretending to be the real Bride of Christ.

Rod Parsleys False Resurection Seed 2010

Nephtali1981: In order to avoid Rod or his ministry from flagging this video, i didnt even use any clips of his ministry. http://www.rodparsley.com/ResSeed25.aspx Click there to read how he is twisting Christ purpose on the cross!! Please Pray For Him!

The Passion Of Rod Parsley EXPOSED

“Don’t jam up phone lines for twelve dollar seeds.”

Didn’t Jesus say that the widow with her penny gave more than all of them put together? Who is Rod Parsley to say what is important giving or not?

“When a word from God is given, reason is never required.”

This is such manipulation! You better reason and use your brain, or else these thieves get your house payment, car payment, etc. and you be left without nothing. The Word of God says to take care of your own household first. Believe me, these apostates are taking care of theirs — by twisitng scripture to their gain and stealing your money.

For 10,000 dollars, change will come to you!

“God don’t ask for what you don’t have, he only asks for what you want to keep.”

Though this could be construed as truth (in dealing with sin issues), in this case Parsley is using it to manipulate. What if you want to keep your money for that house payment? For that car payment? What about money for food for your family? Parsley’s teaching sounds too much like what our government is right now! Socialism! Communism! Same spirit of man manipulating to steal what is yours.  

“Are you a warrior?…..then go to your phone… and in the name of god’s Christ…”

See the manipulation? Who wouldn’t want to be called a warrior? If you want Parsley to see you as one, then you must give money. My Bible does not teach this. And WHAT is with the ‘ in the name of God’s Christ ‘? Leaves me to ask, who or what is speaking here? Strange that he can not even say the name of Jesus. 

“Three hundred people with 2,008 dollars…eight people with 10,000 dollars right now…if you don’t have it, get as close to it as you can.”

But remember, no jamming the phone lines with twelve dollar seed.

If you just go to your phone and send in that money, God will change everything.

SNAKE OIL SALESMAN! WITCHCRAFT!

When you give money are you having faith in your seed, or faith in God? It does make a difference, friend.

Benny Hinn Begs Followers For $2,000,000

Benny Hinn begging for money from his followers. You must ask yourselves, if the prosperity Gospel “works” so well and is true, then why do these pulpit pimps not send YOU money?

Come on, people, wake up. Come out of your slumber and stop following false teachers and fleecers of the flock of God. They are liars, deceivers and fakes out to make a buck off of you. I’ll say it again: Ask yourself if all they say is true, then why oh why do they not send their money to you?

A lot of hard working people are barely making it and these APOSTATES live high on the hog just like this government does. IT IS THE SAME SPIRIT IN BOTH AND IT IS NOT GOD. It is a spirit based on greed and lust and if you take part of it, you are involved in witchcraft by allowing these people manipulate you.

If you desire to give, then give to a local charity or someone of need WITHOUT expecting to get so much a trinket from one of these apostates.

Manipulating dribble from apostate Frank Hechavarria

Frank Hechavarria is another imposter on the rise within the church. Same ol same ol from this bunch.

“He can make you a millionaire in one day. AGHHH! He can pay off your debts in two minutes. AGHHH!…He can give you a brand new car tonight. AGHHH! He can give you a brand new house tonight. AGHHH!”

Doesn’t it bother any of you who may be following this BS, why, if the Gospel is supposed to be about eternal things — (and it is) why is it that so many today focus on the temporal?

These teachers, these imposters to the truth, will have their reward. You come out from among them and be seperate.

Why the prosperity “gospel” is so DANGEROUS

If you support false teachers financially, then you are letting them rob you of the resources God gave you for YOUR family.  As they get rich off you, you can bet  they are preparing for the economic collapse. What are you doing to prepare? Sending them money in hopes that God will hear your prayer on account of these apostates? There is One Mediator between man and God. And that is Jesus Christ. There is no other. If you put your hopes and faith in these men or any other, then you are an idolator. Come out from among them.

Anyone else think Kenneth Copeland’s eyes look like a devil’s?

Seven Passover Blessings from Steve Munsey

Note: You must give to THIS ministry to receive your seven blessings. Who do you send your offering to? Mark Chironna

This is blatant twisting of the scripture AND manipulation to steal your money. Do you really think God can be bought? For shame!

TBN and those affilliated with it are going to burn come judgment day unless they repent for their harlotries and witchcraft. God’s wrath will consume them. Come out from among them.

Sidebar: Steve Munsey, hired fundraising gun for TBN and friends, has written a book on the seven blessings that come to those who observe the Passover. Note that, for Steve and the huckster who hired him (Mark Chironna), observing the Passover has nothing to do with slaughtering a lamb or eating unleavened bread. It’s about sending him money.

1. Angel dispatched on your behalf.
2. God will be an enemy to your enemies.
3. Spirit of prosperity present.
4. Sickness taken away from you.
5. Long life.
6. Increase and inheritance in your life.
7. Special year of blessing

Greater Glory Gathering and a New Angel!

In light of Patricia King’s new “minty green angel”  (just in time for Saint Patrick’s Day, I might add) we now have the International Banker angel to contend with. Following article gotten here: http://slaughteringthesheep.wordpress.com/2010/03/13/greater-glory-gathering-and-the-angel-named-international-banker/

Mt 16:4  A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

I want you to get this picture in your mind - you’re sitting in church and the pastor opens the Bible and begins expository teaching.  He takes you verse by verse through the Scriptures and he actually teaches you the Word of God.  It’s a nice picture, isn’t it?  Do you want to see the exact opposite of that?  Keep reading.

Bob Jones had an angelic encounter recently and said that the angel introduced himself as the “angel that was the International Banker.”  I’m thinking this is the angel of finance with a new title, because Rick Joyner relates that instead of introducing himself as the angel of finance, he introduced himself as “International Banker.”  Wow.  Ya know, I’m highly irritated that the Bible failed to mention this specific angel to me.  If it hadn’t been for Bob Jones, Todd Bentley, and Rick Joyner, I would have never even known this particular angel existed.  The nerve!

In this video, Rick Joyner and Todd Bentley announce the Greater Glory Gathering, which is going to be held from April 18 to 21, 2010, at Heritage International Ministries.  They stress that this is not a school and it’s not a conference, it’s a gathering!  Featured speakers will be  Bob Jones, Rick Joyner, Todd Bentley, Ryan Wyatt, and Jason Hooper, and with a lineup like that, it promises to be a real mystical experience!

Conferences, revival schools, and gatherings are nothing new with Joyner; they have them all the time.  The marketing spin they put on each one of them grows more colorful and lively than the one before it.  What’s interesting about this particular “gathering” is that Todd Bentley is saying it was reinforced, or rather inspired, by encounters he has been having recently.  In one encounter, he was digging through some rubble when he found a manual.  It was a manual about God’s greater glory.  What a convenient vision to have right before a “greater glory” gathering, wouldn’t you say?  He then compares it to when Josiah and Hilkiah dug the book of Moses out of the rubble of Solomon’s temple, which resulted in the greatest revival in the history of Israel. 

(Insert the power of suggestion here…we will have revival…we will have revival…we will have revival.  God told me (Bentley) in a vision that there would be revival, even gave me the how-to manual, so there’s gonna be a revival, folks!  You just need to believe it and jump on board!  It’s up to you!  Come on!  We can’t have revival without you!)

In another encounter, Bentley was visited by an angel with gemstones in its wings.  This angel stood like a man, was six-feet-two-inches tall, and had wings like a cherubim.  The angel said to Bentley, “I’ve come to speak about finance, and the release of finance and the wealth of nations.”  What an important message!  I mean, there’s nothing else the church needs to hear about more than money!  It’s all according to who you know, and this would be a great contact to have if you’re interested in fronting a global revival!  Revival requires money, and the gem-stone angel is here to make sure the blessing of finance is released… that is, to deceive you into releasing your money and sending it to Bentley.

So, immediately after this angelic visitation, he gets on the telephone with Bob Jones, and Jones said, “Didn’t I tell you the word I had about the international banker that visited me!?”   Rick Joyner interjects, “Yeah, that was a name for an angel.”  Bentley then relates that that was how the angel had introduced himself to Bob Jones – “The angel that was the international banker.”  Joyner then informs us that this angel is over the treasuries of Heaven for the earth, therefore, there will be financial breakthroughs in the form of debt cancellation. 

Here’s where it gets maddening.  Joyner goes into a strange interpretation of Scripture where he says that when God showed Moses his back side, He was showing him His stripes on His back, and that’s where people’s financial debt was cancelled.  Those stripes.  Right there.  On His back.  Go ahead and max out your credit card and heap things up to satisfy your fleshly desires – God the Father has those stripes upon His back to cancel your financial debt.  Now, Joyner does say that those stripes were taken to cancel all debt, but money debt is definitely one of them.  This unscriptural interpretation smacks of Oneness Pentecostalism, it isn’t sound Biblical doctrine.  God the Father doesn’t have stripes upon His back, those were taken by Jesus Christ, the Son of God who became flesh - not the Father! 

Now, to be fair, Joyner did acknowledge that some people are in the financial shape they’re in because of foolish decisions.  I concur!  But then he and Bentley go on to say that the manifest presence is about more than signs or debt cancellation, it’s about the “glory.”  The glory that’s coming.  Bentley says that in the past they saw gold, angel feathers, and all kinds of signs such as gemstones and diamonds, which was evidence to them that God’s glory was being poured out.   But in this Greater Glory Gathering, it’s God’s manifest presence they’re after – the person of God.  Problem is, Jesus said no one comes to the Father except through Him.  He is the door, and should they try to come up any other way, they are the same as a thief and a robber.  (John 14:6)

So many people are looking for signs, but Jesus said no sign would be given except the sign of Jonah.  As Jonah was three days and nights in the belly of the whale, so was Jesus three days and nights in the heart of the earth.  (Matthew 12:40)  They fail to remember that Jesus said that only a wicked and adulterous generation seeks a sign.  But, those who hear the voice of God’s Son, who follow His words, who walk in His ways, who believe in Him…those are the ones who, like Abraham, believe God, and will have it imputed to them as righteousness.  (Romans 4:3)  What other sign more marvelous can God the Father give us than the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, His Son?  There is none.  Not gemstones, not angel feathers, not diamonds.  It isn’t those things which show God’s glory – God was glorified through His Son!

Those who neglect the Son of God and search beyond Jesus for further proof of God’s glory have completely missed the whole point.  Paul, who truly visited the third Heaven didn’t tell tall tales of glory clouds and gem-encrusted angels, he said this:  “And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.  For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.”  (1 Corinthians 2:1-2)

Outside of that, there is nothing.  May we ever keep our eyes and hearts upon Jesus!

The following comments taken from slaughteringthesheep blog are great  examples of Bereans testing all things:

“Joyner then informs us that this angel is over the treasuries of Heaven for the earth. There will be financial breakthroughs in the form of debt cancellation.”

This debt retirement couldn’t come at a better time for MorningStar in view of its debt. — Ian –

Hey, is this “angel that was the International Banker” mint green ? Methinks he’s visited ol’ Patty King. — Denise –

——————————————————————————————-

The angel will be showing up at the gathering and his word will be in line with the word Todd gave when he did his $1,000 sham in Lakeland. I am willing to bet that the promise of wealth transfer will be pushed over and over during this gathering. You cancel Morningstar’s debt and this angel will see all your debt will be cancelled as well.

The more you give the greater your blessing will be. Your influnce with God will also be greater. Man, the suckers still believe this crap.

They deserve to be fleeced to their last penny. — Rick –

 ——————————————————————————————-

If the angel is in charge of the ” treasuries of heaven ” why doesn’t he finagle some way of bringing some of it with him ? And why doesn’t this financial angel teach seed faith to Rick Joyner so Rick doesn’t have to keep taking up collections from the poor people in his audience? That way, Rick can finally be a blessing and give away some money instead of sucking people dry. But then again, maybe these folk are getting what they deserve, just by showing up and listening to these clowns.

By the way, can anyone explain to me why we need treasuries in heaven, the streets are paved with gold for crying out loud. I always thought the real treasure in heaven would be Jesus Christ – oh yeah, they forgot about that !

–Robert –

——————————————————————————————–

You know they’ve been priming that pump for years by telling people that blessings come when they open their wallets and give generously. So, now with the appearance of this “angel” (demon), people will think that the outpouring will be commensurate with their giving and so these guys will just take the money (as they always do) and pad their accounts and then tell people how much blessing is coming from their giving and they should keep giving so that the annointing will increase.

I would just remind folks of Simon in Acts 8 who thought that he could buy the ability to bless people with the power of the Holy Spirit and he was directly rebuked and told that he was in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity. These guys are akin with the likes of Simon the Sorcerer. Perhaps they can get together with Christina Glenn and scream a little louder so that the banking angel will release more funds.

In His service,

Mike

After nearly 30 years in the financial services industry, I can tell you from experience that any “angel” name “international banker” is 100% a fallen angel/demon. 2sd2lol
These knuckleheads are bringing the New Age Aquarius eastern mysticism into what passes for the “church.” Alice Bailey and Barbara Marx Hubbard taught extensively about these Luciferian lies (as if they were truth), and we who follow Jesus as Lord, (and no ascended master jesus counterfeit) are the cancer they wish to cut out to save the body of new humans who will be “cleansed” and made into demon motels for the age to come. They all want their way for 2012 and we are holding things up, so we must be removed.
Tribulation, both small and great, are NOT the wrath of God, but the wrath of satan. Jesus said we would see tribulation even as such that has never been seen before or will ever happen again.
God has always delivered His own THROUGH floods, fire, lions etc…some to live another day, some to glory. How many people got on the ark after God closed the door? While the flood was a judgement from God, the Great Tribulation is from Satan….ah but the wrath of God is not for those of us who are in Christ Jesus, be of good cheer saints, He has overcome the world, and so will we who are in Christ Jesus,…martyr means witness, and there are many under the alter spoken of in Revelation.
When we lose our religion about Him based upon the traditions of men, and embrace Him as Lord, we begin to see clearly, and the seeming mysteries of Revelation become clear…but you must allow Him to tear everything not built by Him down, reducing you to Christ Jesus, so He can build on Himself as the Foundation. You can’t hang His Truth on a superstructure of traditions of men…He won’t allow it. Many are called, few are chosen, narrow is the path that leads to Eternal Life, and few there be that find it. The rest are ever learning but never able to come to the knowlege of Truth.

So Bob, you had a visit with an angel..

Gal 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

(Bob’s also part of the IHOP camp that promotes ‘the god within you’, that promotes Contemplative prayer, that promotes Catholic mystics, and other highly unusual and unbiblical teachings…) Bob, you need to understand that the gospel you are now promoting is one that is OTHER than the one that was preached to the church…

Bob, why was it you left IHOP? What have you done to correct the thing that made you leave? Where is the repentance/change in your behavior, Bob?

Because we can all laugh about the Banker angel and the stupidity of your messages, but in all seriousness, you have a serious problem, Bob.

…and what was that part about teachers having a stricter judgement, Bob?

I can see it now: “angel International Banker is called before the Senate finance Comittee to explain WHY blessings have not been made as available to poor people as they are to the “RICH”.
I know, this isn’t a political blog, and Chrystal, I hope that you don’t mind my one little joke.
Angels don’t interest me as much as the One who sends them to accomplish His will.
Amongst us former Charismatics, who else rmembers “The Happy Hunters” the husband and wife team which went gaga over angels? They couldn’t butter their toast in the morning without some angel handing them the marmalade. (kidding. barely) — Doug –

Hmm…international banker. Not so inspiring a title considering the fallout and crash of our economy. I think I prefer “minister of finance” it has much more class. For those truly desperate for a breakthrough in debt, our government offers a legal and relatively quick solution – bankruptcy. It may not be the wild ride of “breakthrough” that Toddie and Bobo promise, but it’s a sure thing. You won’t need to chant or stand on your head or listen to sheeka boom ba, just see an attorney. And 6 months later – BAM – you’re outta debt! More miraculous than gold dust! — Mkayla –

Benny Hinn on the Fall ’08 TBN Fleece-a-Thon 2

I am not going to transcribe all of this mess. I am going to say, when they (false teachers and deceivers) say ‘peace and safety’ sudden destruction comes.

This is about blatant greed and lust for money. God is crying out to His children, Come out of her My people!

Benny Hinn: “Don’t be foolish and shove me off right now. I’m the best thing you’ve got right now.”

The pride and arrogance! I dare say YOU ARE NOT the best thing any of us can ever have!

“You do what I’m telling you. If you don’t, your future is black.”

WITCHCRAFT! MANIPULATION! FEAR TACTIC!

“Don’t sow seed when the annointing is absent.”

Got a seed you would like to sow in someone else’s minstry? Maybe some shelter for the poor or some little obscure man of God? According to Benny Hinn you must only sow it in the likes of his. After all, he tells us over and over he has the annointing. I would suggest sow your seed where no one will see or know but God. Consider where your seed goes when you give to the likes of TBN. It goes to millionaires, if not billionaries who have become RICH off the sheeple of God.

Hinn says God told him, “Prepare my people. Wealth transfer is on the way.” God said no such thing! This is a god of mammon speaking!

“He who refuses instruction will have poverty is what the Bible says.”

He pimps the Word for their own selfish gain! People of God, do not fear these men. Do not be afraid of their manipulations and deceits.

Maybe it is my imagination, but it appears Benny Hinn is becoming more and more of a manipulator.

Gathering of TBN Pimps

“You have got to believe this or prosperity will pass you by,” says Benny Hinn.

That statement sets people up that they must believe the man of God or else. This is blatant manipulation!

“You can not call (call in your pledge) until the annointing hits. When I say ‘go,’ it’s not because of some hype. When I say ‘go’ it’s because I’m feeling the annointing. No different than when I pray for the sick.”

Hmm, here is a thought: IF there are 7 annointings, then how is he to know the difference between the 7 if the feelings are no different? But then again, it does not matter because we all are just suppose to trust this man and believe him.

“When I feel that annointing, I pray for the sick.”

Someone please show me where we are taught to go by our feelings. These people talk about “faith.” What gets me is that they tell us not to go by feelings, but just trust their words. BUT they have a different standard for themselves. They only do something when they feel it. How many of us have prayed for the sick even when we did not feel anything — causing us to trust not in ourselves or in any feeling, but to trust in God in our greatest weakness?

“If people start believing God before that annointing hits, nothing happens. It will kill their faith.”

WHAT??? We are led to believe in the annointing over God?! What BH is really saying: “First I have to manipulate you in believing this mumbo jumbo, before you will give me one red cent.” THAT is the truth, people! Hear the pride in this next sentence…

“But when I pray…say now, it always happens.”

Really? I hate to do this but BH has given me no other choice. Did he pray like that for his marriage before his wife left him and filed for divorce?

“As I have been preaching, the annointing has been rising inside of me. I want to give you just a few more minutes before I say, ‘go.’ “

Then he commands everyone to stand and lift their voices. The good little sheeple have just been manipulated by a subtle form of witchcraft. They will submit to about anything at this point. After all, the man of God standing before them is so holy, so annointed (he told them so and continues to tell them) how could they think any differently? If they do not submit, they will look rebellious. Peer pressure also comes into play.

You have to ask what is the true motive for the people even wanting to believe this garbage. I tell you it is GREED. Lust for money!

“I don’t just say something because of feeling it.”

Really? Now which is it? He talks about feeling the annointing, yet we are led to believe he never says anything because of feelings? HOGWASH! Can’t have it both ways!

“This annointing on your life will protect you from financial disasters.”

People this is no different than Haiti voodoo!

“People can I tell you something? I’m feeling my left hand hot on me right now!”

“We’re annointing your future.”

“We annoint your future for 12 months…12 months of blessings. 12 months of abundance. 12 months of restoration and recovery.”

Why stop there? Why not the rest of your life? I tell you why. Because 12 months from now, there will be another pimping of God’s Word!

Then as if none of that was bad enough, Paul Crouch makes his son swear an oath! ”Do you swear an oath before God and this man of God that you will never never sell a big full powered TV station?”

“Never never. In fact, we’re going to keep buyin and buying and spreading the gospel around the world.”

Matthew 5:33-37 Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’ But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. –JESUS–

Shame on Paul Crouch for manipulating his son to take an oath! The wickedness in these men grow more and more! Come out of her My people, says the Lord!

Do you feel compelled to give everytime some preacher or “prophet” tells you to give money to them? You may be sitting under a spirit of Witchcraft.

“Faith” killed this man

His wife said he was the most “selfless” person she had ever known. Without sounding harsh, I have to ask, how selfish is it to sit in a chair for eight months, doing absolutely nothing to help yourself? He waited upon God to “heal” him, expecting a miracle to be a “better testimony.”

His wife could not roll him over to get him on a bed pan. They had no visitors. It is not hard to imagine why. I wonder how many people came to them and tried to talk some sense into them.

This is a result of the name it and claim it doctrine out there. I know because I had a friend who had breast cancer. She refused to go to a doctor waiting for God to give her her miracle. It did not take long before the cancer had ravaged her body and she died.

Sometimes, I can not but help believe that it is a sort of pride waiting for a “miracle.”

His wife said, “He wanted to get up and tell everybody what Jesus had done.”

Yes, God does do miracles. But to sit and do nothing is a sin. There is nothing admirable about this tragedy. I do not believe for one minute if the man went to a hosptial they would not have treated him. There are avenues to take.
