You know, the kooks, weirdos and false teachers make it a lot harder for the rest of us. Smart people just run away from such fruitcakes as this guy. The sad thing is that some presume all of us are this crazy. Christianity's credibility is being damaged by these characters. Unbelieveable!!.....but this guy is on TV every Sunday morning.
Along with him, we see many other "Word of Faith" weirdos.....Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyers ....just to name a few. Yep, "just name it and claim it". God wants to make us all rich and He wants to give us all perfect health. Sure, the Bible is just full of that! Didn't Jesus talk about foxes having holes and birds having nests while the Son of Man had no place? Rich? Certainly not materially! And Health? Paul's thorn? Timothy's stomach problems? John the Baptist's severed head? Doesn't sound like a good health guarantee to me!
We gotta quit being tolerant of the kooks. The Lord deserves better.
heard about another fella in miami ithink said he was Jesus himself. problem was this guy had three DUIs and was on his 2nd or 3rd marriage those 2 things should have been peoples first clue. amazingly people were falling for it. oh ya he was born in cuba or peurto rico. blew my mind that people would actually believe that. just shows how important it to have your faith grounded by the bible.

Mark 13:35
Since the beginning , and in the end times, people who are not of the Lord shall be blinded to the truth, and have scales over their eyes, so that they will not see the truth, because they have denied Jesus.
So it should suprise no one of the things that some people do or say. They cannot see or hear the truth, and they never will. That is the danger of denying Christ, and living in the flesh, for yourself.
Our biggest problem, and what we are indeed counciled to do , is to get the word out to all the others so that they might believe, before they are given over to the ruler of this world....Satan. The way that happens is that the others are influenced and counciled by the blinded in Christ, before a Christian can get the Word in them. That is why evangilism is so very important. That is why we are instructed to spread Gods word to the four corners of the earth. Whom have you sheared Christs Gospel with, and when was the last time you shared it.
" For if you deny Me, then I will deny you before The Father. "
Do not deny Him..... Spread His word.... Do not be scared, for fear is not of the Lord, but of the evil one..... Do not be shy.... Be strong and proud in the Lord, and be a blessingto His Holy Name.

I do not agree with you. I pray that the Holy Spirit would open your spiritual eyes to see the trueth. These Faith /Word Teachers and Preachers are exactly what the world needs. The world needs victorious Christians not dead Christians. They simply try to teach us who we are in the Lord and you bash them for it.
I can glean something even from a ravished field. I only wish I could be in the category as Joel Olsteen, Joyce Meyers, and other kooks like that. Imagine the scores of people they have brought into the kingdom of God. I noticed they didn't let Dollar finish all the sermon. Just the part the woke up the people, I know where he was going with that... And if you are a child of God, He is the Father, what does that make you... I can follow his drift. But then I am not looking at his sermon with human eyes, sometimes you have to see things in the spiritual realm. In order to see with those eyes, you have to die to the flesh!!! Call us kooks... (O Glory)
