This past Sunday I was sitting in my living room after getting home and flipped on the television. While scanning the channels I ran across one of my favorite speakers Dr. Ed Young on Daystar Network.
I had to get up and help my wife with something and upon returning to my spot in the living room, noticed that Dr. Ed was no longer on. Now there was this guy talking about how that God's special blessings will only be poured out for a very limited time...right now....and will not be poured out again this year. He then paused, as if for dramatic effect, and claimed that he had felt that someone out there had made a lot of money from a big sale or settlement and needed to sow that into this particular ministry to receive God's special blessing. And....that it was only a limited time offer to receive said special blessing because it wont come around again this year (emphasis mine). Watch Video
In my opinion this is prime example of preying on people instead of praying for them. Building kingdoms unto themselves. Who are they really helping?
This irritates me beyond belief.
What is your opinion?
Everyone's building a kingdom... The question is, "Who's"?? This is a pathetic excuse for exegesis and requires VERY LITTLE biblical prowess to undermine his arguments.
ReplyDeletePagan religions in the old testament subscribed to "worshiping oracles". There was meaning read into everything! There were whole groups of guys (read Daniel 2)...
This is no different. It's what I would consider pagan practice. "2011... the number 11 stands for blessing and judgement. Those who miss this will not receive blessing, but the judgment of God!"
Divining oracles is part of the pagan occult (religious practice), and you can read all through the old testament what God thinks about the MIXING of paganism and Yahwism (the worship of the one true God). The results EVERY TIME is God's judgement!
So... Unfortunately for these guys who are divining oracles in the hopes of manipulating people and God, they are destined to receive the judgement that they are preaching against.
Just my 2 cents...
I completely agree with you Joe.
ReplyDeleteI want to build Gods kingdom. I have no interest in building my own.
