I haven't watched it for the past couple weeks though, cause I got sick of it the last time I watched him preach. I logged on and broke in on the message already in progress and he's in the middle of a shoutin' time and yells something about the last time he preached that message a man got $85,000 cash the next week. He kept talking about people getting money after hearing the message and was praying over financial documents. :vomit
Whether in UPC or out of UPC, prosperity doctrine is wrong and harms saints more than helps them.
You get these jokers preaching prosperity for saints, and how you should be living high. What happens when a trial comes? What happens when hard times come? These prosperity-fed saints flip out! They can't handle it because they've been fed this junk food doctrine that says life's a bunch of blessings if you live for Jesus!

N- I think that you are partly wrong in this thing. You know I have listened to my fair share of Acts29tv. I have heard every message on there by JS and others. I think to say he preaching prosperity doctrine is incorrect. Preach about and on money is not wrong, but preaching God will give us money because we need it, He owes us, we love Him so he gives in return, can be. JS is not preaching any of the latter except to fund the Gospel across the world.
Sure he has preached about receiving financial blessings. Infact, I believe I told you once that God spoke to me and told me that He is going to create millionaires this year, not because of Him blessing them only, but to fund the outreach of the lost world wide. What JS was doing is nothing more than helping people pray for financial blessings. There is a thin line here though. JS could go too far here but I am not sure he will. There are people out there that preach "give money to get money." This partly right and wrong. God will bless us for blessing His kindgdom. I think that is what JS is really talking about. But the way you can tell that he has not made a doctrine out of it is because he still at almost every service preaches that you must be born again. Not born again by money, but by the spirit! |
