  • this man tells it like it is, wolves are among us

  • amen and Amen

  • Comment removed

  • as Jesus told the people concerning the pharisees "do as they say but not as they do"

  • the only thing about all this is that your family have lived off of other peoples money since Jimmy Swaggart started in public ministry. Lots of poor people have given their last dime many tmes and now you all look down on people that need financial help. God is watching and listening. Why should you live in luxury . when others go hungry, Have you ever worked on a backbreaking job to earn your money....come on God is watching

  • @martha0436 look here what are you talking about sister?? No one is looking down on poor people or speaking of them as if the are lower than wealthy people. He is simply breaking down the prosperity and false gospel and the preachers who fool you people with it and deceive ppl with it. Your wrong. The swaggarts are some of the few ppl who preach the true gospel of our Lord with the irrefutable truth of the word. Your getting the wrong idea. Period

  • Brilliant superb great tell em preacher

  • Preach it brother!! Praise God that there are still true preachers out there who preach with unction and passion!!! I'm so sick of these "paycheck preachers" who only preach for material wealth. God's judgement has fallen on this nation. Repent or face damnation!

  • i have never heard donnie preach thank you for posting this

  • Just one correction I would like to add.

    God did not save us from our Sin by sending his Son as a propitiation in our place. God saved us from the wrath of God. And by this act God is able to Justify the wicked even though we continue in sin (Which is impossible to leave, sinless perfection is impossible except for Jesus) we are justified and God has saved us from himself even though we will always continue to Sin in his eyes.

  • Preach brother Preach!

  • AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!!

  • Preached with conviction and integrity. Now you need to go all over the world and keep preaching it and set the captives free.

  • He blew the doors off that place - and my mind lol

  • There is an old gospel hymnal that says it all...

    Jesus, keep me near the cross,

    There a precious fountain—

    FREE TO ALL, a healing stream—

    Flows from Calvry's mountain.

    We need true spiritual healing and spiritual prosperity preached today in these last days rather than that garbage of getting rich, and begging God for material things which he has said are of nothing, but the things of the spirit and his worship is all to him in scripture

  • u need to look at your own lifestile before knocking others...donnie

  • than you brother

  • Obviously, the "prosperity gospel" is working for him. He has a very expensive house and expensive cars. Who paid for that nice suit he has on? Two divorces?? I think Donnie has ISSUES he hasn't dwelt with lately. The prosperity gospel has been exploited. There is nothing new under the sun.

  • @bluetub1 Praise God for Donnie ... a perfect example for being a good steward of his income! You rag like you have facts ... you have nothing which makes your opinion the same as null and void. Hallelujah! One day you will be accountable for your accusations. Just because you don't believe this does not mean you will not be held accountable. Donnie can back everything he says!

  • I'm pentecostal and ALL name it and claim it is from the devil and so is "lose your salvation" (salvation by WORKS). Calvinism is devil too.

  • @barrypatrickius Calvinism is an unfortunate word since Calvin himself was certainly not the only preacher of Reformed Theology. So the real question in my mind is what do you actually know about Reformed Theology and what is evil about it?

  • Mean preaching bro we need more old-fashioned preachers like this instead of these false prosperity preachers we have now brainwashing millions of naive vulnerable people into thinking they can get rich by giving 10% of their money each week......

  • donnie and his dad take up about as much money as the rest of the false churchs

  • @watershoe5 Yeah I agree.

  • well done that man

  • Donnie Swaggart is on TV, but not even close to TBN and Creflo Dollar, and he mostly preaches the simple word of God such as SALVATION. good job brother.

  • Didn't see the end of this sermon. Did it end with something like, "And for your gift of $100..."?

  • If Bro Donny really believed this he would not be asking me for my prosperity to keep his show on tv.

  • good i like the way you preach♫♫♫♫

  • Are you kidding? TBN would regard D. Swaggerts sermon as heretical! I'd say 90% of TBN's lineup are false teachers, preachers, you name it!

  • Why is it that when people here prosperity the first thing they think of is money? Jesus clearly did not suffer and die on the cross for you to be monetary rich. The prosperity he teaches is the heavenly prosperity which is what awaits all who are His children. A lot of those prosperity preachers believe that it is sin if you are poor and claim to be a child of God but they all forgot that Jesus said that there will be the poor among you, but also we should share what we have with the poor.

  • @chuckyoo i agree well said.

  • there might me false prophets but truth remains that there is God..where did everything come from...from an intelligent designer

  • Preach the truth hallejuah and let those that have an ear hear what the Holy Spirit is saying.

  • Find it hypocritcal of the Swaggarts to pass judgment on others when Jimmy was using his money he gained from so called ministry to pay for a prostitute

  • @JWK6889 Don't judge the son by the father's deeds

  • @bobo87244 : Where in that comment I made was there any judgment about Donnie? If anything you just contradicted your advice to me. Go judge yourself and you wont have any time to judge others BRO!

  • Donnies's just as deluded and odious as his old man and also loves to throw his pointed fingers around like they were loaded pistols.

    But unlike his dad, he doesn't twitch away like a spastic mental patient.

  • @sweetsweatyfeet  I agree.

  • The Bible spoke about prosperity in Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1 and use the cocordance and look for the Word --prosperity-- you'll discover that it is biblical. Your problem is you lost support because of the action of your father.

  • @etransitory Yeah right... the bible speaks about a LOT of bullshit topics, but that doesn't make any of them vaild. Religion is a pathetic mind-virus that should be pushed off the planet, along with paracitic, money-grubbing, child-molesting clergy, who use tax-exempt dollars to meddle in politics and buy luxury mansions...... and Swaggart is one of the BIGGEST offenders.

    God bless atheism!!

  • @41elliott

    If you don't believe in God nor the bible then why should you ask God to bless atheism? Just curious.

  • @chuckyoo It's a sarcastic joke... We all need to laugh at the craziness known as "Christi-insanity".

    Peace.

  • @chuckyoo It's a sarcastic joke... We all need to laugh at the craziness known as "Christi-insanity".

    Peace.

  • @41elliott

    I rather be insane for Christ than to the devil.

  • @41elliott

    I rather be insane for Christ than to the devil.

  • @chuckyoo because atheism is a religion on it's own. Christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship.

  • @bamascot1

    Following Jesus (true christianity is about relationship with Him).

  • I guess that means withdraw yourselves from blessings, God's favor, and Abraham and men of God of old were following sin because they were the showcases of God's blessings,favor and monitary blessings. Money keeps your ministry going. It's the tool of this world to further the gospel, so I guess I won't pray for favor and blessings to be able to further the gospel.

  • We need such preachers to preach for a balance. However, riches is relative! They will always be the rich and the poor, but don't be Judas Iscariot who did not want the woman to use the perfume on Jesus, claiming that it could be sold and given to the poor. He just wanted it for his greed. He finally sold Jesus! It is easier to speak against men of God than to speak for them. God will judge everyone according to his deeds and intentions. Some of these preachers are blessed by people

  • Powerful! Powerful! Powerful! It's the truth.

    I couldn't stop crying listening to HolyGhost-filled preaching. Way to go Donnie.

  • Donnie is one of the few that will speak on these so called preachers and call then for what the are. The Word of God even backs Donnie up to the fullest and to be honest, most of the people that disagree with coming against preaching against prosperity preachers wouldnt recognize truth if it was right in front of their face.

  • Feel free to use the final line per your request, I don't mind, words are about the only thing that are partially free these days lol.

    As for the Word backing Donnie, yeah I agree, he's "preaching" the truth. My problem is, he's living the same lie he calls out among the other preachers. Jesus said it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven, and I think (even from a non-believer perspective), that he meant every word of what he (Jesus) said.

  • I've made this point repeatedly, and I'll keep making it until someone finally realizes the truth of it.

    How much airtime, could the Swaggarts purchase, if they sold all those luxury homes, cars, clothes, jewewlry, lavish lifestyles, and real estate, and then purchased modern homes, and adopted a modern style of living. Hmm?

    A whoooooole lot of air time :)

  • @hottencliff Amen

  • Seriously...PEOPLE, look at his suit. LOOK at his jewelry. LOOK, at his house, and HIS CARS, and his Family's houses and CARS. And he's preaching...about...religion..­....and prosperity.

    God help this nation if we have become this stupid. That's like having one person be the murderer and the judge, all in the same trial.

  • First you must understand what he is preaching, and it's clear that you don't,,, he is not preaching against prosperity, he is preaching against preacher's who preach that wealth is a sign of Godly character, there's alot of poor people who are saved, what

    Donnie is saying , we need to be satisfied with what God gives us, and removes oursevles from preachers who preach, if you give all your money, God will give it back in great material wealth.

  • @timothycoyle182

    No firstly, I know exatcly what he's preaching, and I'm saying it's stupid for him to preach it, because he lives in a glass house. If wealth is not a sign of godly char (which the bible says it's not), then by default, the Swaggarts are not godly.

    Do you know why the church world is so wrapped up material welath and prosperity? Because they are following the example of their leaders. If they are faithful like their preachers are, they want to be rewarded the same way :)

  • Basically, if all the preachers are decked out in custom designed suits pearls, gold, diamonds, mansions, and the finest cars, what do you think the congregation is going to want? Where do you think this monster came from? And now the Swaggarts have the nerve to call out other TV evengalists who have simply found a better way of exploiting it? You've got to be kidding me lol.

  • And for the record, Oral Roberts and Jimmy Swaggart, were the biggest creators of this filthy stinking rich evangelical movement that robs the people of their money, and makes a few of them wealthy. All the others are offspring. If you wanna point a finger, point it at the source. If not, quit running your mouth picking sides, lest you look like a fool.

  • Last question for ya Timothy.

    If the Swaggarts sold their possesions (homes, cars, jewelry) and bouight a modest way of living, how much air time could be purchased, and how many more "souls" could be saved? Until you're ready to answer that question with the honesty and truth it deserves, then don't waste your time replying.

  • LoL Donnie. You hypocrit!

    People should withdraw from Donnie Swaggart's prosperity. He's preaching against all these propesperity ministers, but yet he and his family don't mind living the rich life of millionaires, generated by "tithes and offerings" and selling bibles.

    Donnie, you better hope there's no hell, because if there is, you are going to split it wide open. Least your dad could play the piano and sell music albums for a living. You live off the congregation's pockets.

    Scum.

  • Amen! Amen! Amen! I feel like shouting because this message is sooooo true! I am sick of those prosperity teachers as well. Everything they teach has to do with blessings nothing about sin, hell and understanding salvation on the foot of the cross. They are in for a rude awakening...

  • @chuckyoo I agree with ya !!! sooo absolutely true. We don't here anything about the Cross, or sin and hell or the book of revelation . Not even discussion on the Old testament and most of New testament , just preaching about tithing and offerings , blessings , money , cars , homes and how you will be struck down if you don't give up your family needs for there motivational seminars, cause they are not preaching

  • @hapi2bee

    Amen!

  • amen amen amen

  • PPPPPpppreeeeaaaccchhh MANnn!

  • Why do you think the 2 witnesses at the end of revelation is in rags? Why are they not in suites?

    Gods saying, its not about wealth, its about him. Its about Christ.

  • Not ALL preachers preaching about Prosperity are like what he's talking about! I find it interesting that they drive cars like that too! His mother drives a Jaguar, I saw it myself! I don't have a problem with that, I just find it a little contradicting.

  • Donnie needs to come to my church and preach this message......i have his back...organ and all, and more than likely, it will just be Donnie and I in church....

  • @hottencliff

    That's not because he's not preaching the truth. It's because too many people know Donnie, and they remember the actions of his father lol. Common sense really. If I found out my doctor had been rubbing his hands in horse manure before giving me my exam, I'd find a new doctor too.

  • Comment removed

  • @hottencliff Amen to that, Hottencliff, and i also have his back and Donnie needs to come to all of these mega-churches and cemeteries(so-called seminaries) and preach this message. It'll be just Donnie, you,and myself in church but our Lord said Where two or three are gathered in His name,He'll be in the midst(Matthew 18:20).

  • @wrestlerick01 Yup that is exactly who will be there, 2 or 3 LOL. The church is dying and some are dead, but there are a few who will listen to the truth. Better a few than none that escape the false message of prosperity.

  • @hottencliff To many people try to worship God with their hands.With instruments and such,yet with the flock before he was taken up they sang a hymn.

  • What a message! Great message by a great preacher,, Enjoy this powerful anoiting! Just keep on KNOCKING!

  • @mynameisjonas45

    Praise the lord!!! "This brother needs to be on TBN"

    Finally somebody is blowing the trumpet.

    Thank God!!!

  • You said it Donnie! This video is going on my Facebook page. Thank you for posting! I'm sharing this widely.

  • How pathetic, this man lifted up Cotton Mather; a man who was part of the witch trials and non-repentant of his acts. And John Danforth, one who believed the 'Church' was spiritual Israel.

    But people love false humility.

  • We get what we sow. In the mesure we give it will be given to us. I am thankful that God is with me but I also see that there was a revival in Cornelius house in acts 10 because he gave alms and feared the God.

  • he couldn't be more right

  • amen!!!!! paul never had a jet, silas never had a bentley. Gods will was done in their lives.God is not a cash point!!!!!!! SERVE him irregardless of wat u have or wat hes given u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seek ye 1st.....amen

  • wow

  • wait a minute!! i sent $100. to a t.v. preacher and i won $1. in the lottery. you cannot tell me that it doesn't work. this is too cool.

  • lol

  • yes man... preach it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I like him!!

  • This man really care about Gods people.

  • this is a true man of god! Ive attended before a church were the Pastors vision for his church was a purple bus,purple jet,purple everything.....I did like what donnie said I FLED from that ministry.

  • The Word Faith Movement in my opinion has the wrong view of God as it places trust in metaphysics as opposed to trust in God. It relies on a Universal Faith-Force that is in obedience to certain cosmic laws that God also must obey. God becomes something that can be manipulated through Positive Affirmation. Word Faith techniques such as Positive Confession and faith are not one in the same as it promotes ones own selfish desires.

  • Maybe the "big name" preachers are like that, but I know quite a few local pastors who call themself "Word of Faith", and they do NOT teach universalism.

    This is why I get so mad when Donnie makes the statement that, "Anyone who teaches Jesus died Spiritually (suffered in Hell,) is Evil."

    I know Word of Faith preachers who NEVER ask for offering, and refuse it when given, so its actually wrong to even "always" associate them with Prosperity message, but Swaggart don't care.

  • Like I said elsewhere, but it was removed, the only WoF preacher that I know of who is a universalist is Joel Osteen. Even among the prosperity preachers, they all teach Jesus is God and that he died for sin and the resurrection and so on.

    But like I said, there are many local WoF preachers who DO NOT even teach the prosperity message, and who even regularly REFUSE offerings.

    Donnie swaggart's blanket statement that they are all "evil" or "lost" is reckless, wrong, and ridiculous.

  • @Rylucero Yea 'this movement is getting them ready for the way they should be thinking for the ONE WORLD ORDER. ONE WORLD PEACE UNDER THE antichrist'S DECEPTION. PROSPERITY GOSPEL IS ONE OF THE BIG DECEPTIONS. GOD DOESN'T NEED satan and his tools to make his people prosper."The Money got satan and the new world order written all over it .(sort of speak) freemasons, illuminati etc.... So GOD'S PEOPLE NEED NOT TO BOW DOWN TO THIS FALSE DOCTRINE.

  • Beware of the many false prophets who teach regularly on TBN. These wolves in sheeps clothing teach of a Third Movement classified as the Third Wave of Signs and Wonders that is comprised of Word Faith Doctrines that make God subservient to man due to the belief that God must operate under certain spiritual laws dictated by men. Please stay away from these heretical teaching, may the Lord rebuke these false prophets that practice these detestable doctrines!

  • Amen brother!

  • Donnie is so right, fierce lol but very correct in his rebuking of the prosperity churches. They are popping up everywhere and in light of a dwindling economy, people are flocking to them and donating all of their money to get something in return and never see it, so it puts them in a tougher situation than they were originally.... I do not support prosperity teaching, in fact I see it as blasphemy against Jesus because He died so that we can have life and wealth in heaven, not on earth lol

  • I can say that I support people being rich (1 Tim 6:17, 1 Kings 3:13), but not to covet after money, but rather to search after faith and love. The best thing in my opinion,is to is to follow the directive of 1 Tim 6:6-8, that is being content.

    The thing about that we can control our influx of money by giving, is certainly a lie imo. God is much more flexible than being controlled by any spiritual laws.

  • God promises his people prosperity. He promises them they will live strong. To remind them that their children will live from the promises God made with one, like God made a promises with Abraham, Isaac. The blessings he passed down to Elijah to Elisha. God promises it but not so we can live rich. But so we won't be slaves to the system. To the government. HE wants us to work hard and live strong just like God told adam and eve before they left the garden.

  • We do not follow God to become Rich. If you read Gods words and truth, and only find "If you believe me you will be rich beyound your wildest dreams" Then you are only in it for the money. Any atheist can say "christians are lies, They only follow God because they are afraid God will send them to hell." We must not do this out of fear or riches but for ones self truth, to live constant, in righteousness, love.

    Desire the holy and wisdom more than the popular and smart.

    Live in truth.

  • But in fact this is exactly what Kenneth preaches.

  • The price has already been paid folks. When Jesus shed his precious blood, he paid our debt.

    All we need to is repent and be baptized in his name and receive the anointing of the holy ghost.

  • u need to spend more time in the word of God and learn to hear from him for urself, and quit trying to sound like every other naysayer. alot of ppl try to sound like someone else without first hearing from God about a certain topic. its a joke to hear all these doubters, seek the Lord and he'll tell u the same thing about his word. "Have faith in God" believe his word and quote it.

  • Uh yeah. Will make a note of it. Meanwhile make sure you keep donating to megachurches so the prosperity pimps can keep their lifestyles going.

  • will do, sow sparingly reap sparingly, according to paul. he was talking money plain and simple. what have u go to replace it? the poverty messege! no thanks. and by the way prosperity preachers give more than they take in. look at kenneth copeland website and see what they do with their money. they have orphanages in 120 countries and prison ministries in 148 countries. they also feed the poor. other guys who i wont name only have radio stations.

  • And imagine what more they could do it

    *he didn't; have an 18 room parsonage for ........a grand total of 2 people

    *he didn't have a fleet of boats on a private lake

    *he didn't have a 20 million dollar Citation X jet

    *not to mention a host of other private jets along with all the expenses to keep them going.

  • he's blessed theres nothing wrong with that, if ppl want to give him money whats that to u?

  • He's not blessed. He's a good snake oil salesman, Kenneth learned from another Kenneth.

    If you have not problem tossing your money away, give to me. I could always use some extra cash. And I';ll preach any blab it grab it gospel you want to hear.

  • paul said im glad the gospel is being preached whether selfish motives or true, as long as christ is preached. why would anyone want to support hate? give and it will be given back onto you pressed down shaken together and running over, no matter who preaches Christs words never change, he's waiting for someone to lay a hold of those truths and move away from the elementary. its ur choice stay where u r or move into a greater realm . prosperity is more than money although money is included

  • JSM have built over 130 schools all over the world for the poor. Some brag, "look at what I have done" JSM just preaches the truth without bragging on their works. Get your facts straight before you spout your ignorance.

  • @bamascot1 thats right I attended JSMI and when i saw and went to africa with the ministry it changed my life and God miraculously provided the funds to take a trip that changed my life and i pray thye life of those i ministered to. Stop the bashing just stop

  • copeland is a prosperity preacher.. he beleives that faith is a force and words are the container of the force and thru the force of faith you can create your own reality.. its just not right. it makes no sense if that was true whats gods purpose, seems to me that god is not needed if we can create our own reality

  • well actually God gave u everything for ur success including the word of God. it is a sword of the Spirit right. if u have a need then why not use the word. as an e.g. there r ppl who sought God for a healing, a lot of ppl who were seeking God for healing said the same thing, God spoke to them audibly and told them "What does my Word say?" so they quoted the word of God and got healed they used the word to get healing, my mother did the same thing for her back and got healed after 14 yrs.

  • the key word being love of money, i dont think he can actually judge someone for that.

  • I don't denie thithing at all. If you read all of Mal you will see all the blessings that come from the tith.

  • yes before that verse he is talking about Judge not....do not condemn, but you can also use that verse as a general purpose verse in general. Yes yourshorts he was made poor that we may become rich, but(this is why i love the amplified bible) rich actually mean ENRICHED (abundantly supplied). You also must read all of the verses before that . Read all of 2 COR 8. Paul is talking way more about then just monetary supply. God is the God of abundant supply, In all things whatever they may be BUT

  • your also wrong about ur interpretation here also. it says give so you'll have an abundance for all good work whcih includes money, in this instance he is talking about money, get over it he is not talking about spreading the gospel with good intentions or kind gestures he is talking about money. the devil opposes that prosperity because teh believers were spreading the gospel with it. this is why the nemy will use christians to oppose prosperity preachers because they sperad the gospel

  • Yes the bible says that he causes those to love him to inherit substance, and other verses like that but there are also plenty other verses that say woe to the rich, be content, be happy with having just food and clothing, stuff like that. There has been unscripted usage to of verses in the bible to gain wealth. yes the bible says Give and {gifts} it will be given to, good measure...., shaken.. runneth over will men pour into {the pouch formed by} the bosom {of your robe and used as a bag}.

  • you quoted the Bible wrong the Bible the word of God say I cause those who love me to inherit WEALTH and fill their TREASURIES, gee that kind of sounds like money. treasuries- money hmm..no that couldn't be!!!. he must be talking about treasuries meaning kind words and smiles because its such a treasure to have someone give smiles to me geezzz ur so wise

  • The Word of God teaches in Col 3 v 1-5 that we are dead to this world and alive and raised with Christ and then where our sights and focus should be if that is truly what has happened to us?The real factor to ask is whether the person who is preaching about this worlds things isn't referring to his god (the god of this world).Lets face it wasn't it devil who said to Jesus "If you bow down to me ,all you see i will give to you."I believe the prosperity preachers are of the devil.

  • wrong were dead to SIN, but alive to Christ.

  • Even Jesus said that satan will come as an angel of light decieving many.Christ died to save our souls from hell by when we die we go to be with Him ,not so we can get comfortable here.He showed us just how important this lifes goods are to him ,the Word says the Son of Man did not even own a pillow to rest his head on.Jesus also said that this earth is not His Kingdom.

  • ur wrong again, he said he came to give life and life more abundantly. i know u want to sound so humble and pious about wealth but the fact of the matter is God gives wealth all over the Bible, it says in Duet 28, that we are blessed if we are obedient, obedience also has to do with believing in him, malichi says we can be so blessed we cant contain it. what r u going to put in its place the? thew FEAR messege. no thanks I'll side with the word of God on this.

  • doyou know that kenneth copeland has orphanages in 120 countries and military outreach to soldeirs he has prison ministries in 148 countries and they feed these people JSministries feeds no one they dont support orphanages no prison ministries of KCM scale they only have radio and a bible school thats it. look at KCM website and see where all their money goes its no wonder the devil hates these minitries they even have disaster relief and feed ppl with ALL this money,.. greed? i think not

  • this argument has went a long ways. i thought i would through something in. The truth of the matter is that God does bless his people. But what has happened is that there has become a very dangerous and deadly imbalance in this teaching by many people. For a preacher to say that It's God will that everyone be rich is NOT SOUND DOCTRINE! Look at the life of Jesus, no he wasn't poor(as in a person of lack) but neither was he a rich man who lived lavishly. There is a balance in teaching everything.

  • the word says he became poor so we can be rich. his own word says this. its amazing how people think the word of God is just like any other book. it is the only book in the world that is completly true. so when he says to sow abundantly he REALLy means you'll REAP ABUNDANTLY. the day it becomes wrong is truely a sad day. hows that for throwing something into it., we water down the word too much and think he doesnt mean what he says.

  • All these prosperity people preach is the acquisition of money and riches. They should all get a life.

  • swaggart has business to point the finger on this subject

  • it doesnt matter what he says it doesnt change what Jesus said. GIVE and it will be GIVEN back onto u, and men will give into ur bosom. he is talking about a cause n effect. give and it will be given to u pressed down shaken together and running over will men GIVE into ur bosom

  • Read that entire chapter please. Just a few verses earlier Jesus says "Woe to the rich", and in the paragraph that verse is in, it is obvious that He is talking about giving mercy and love and forgiveness, not giving money.

    Luke chapter 6

  • just because he says woe to the rich doesnt mean he is talking about christians either. he is talking about money, and so was paul when he said reap sow sparingly reap sparingly, sow bountifully and reap bountifully. sounds like a prescription for wealth and getting out of debt and just being blessed to me. paul clearly talks about sowing money to reap money, because loves a CHEERFUL GIVER.

  • All I can say is that I will pray for you. It was not very long ago that I would have agreed with you 100%. It is only when I decided to look only to what Jesus and the apostles had to say about money throughout the whole New Testament, and then measured the whole sum of their teachings against prosperity doctrine that I could see the error. I hope you have the humility to do such a study yourself.

    Afterall, if you are correct in your conclusions, the Word of God should only back them up,right?

  • you also forgot mention right before he says to "give and it'll be given back onto you...." that in the beginning of verse 30 he says to "GIVE TO VERYONE WHO ASKS OF YOU" this si why he says "GIVE and it will be given back onto you" he is talking about lending to not expect return but he also talks about giving very clearly. he is talking about how to handle finances

  • I'm not going to argue with you. Just read Luke chapter 6, chapter 12, chapter 16, the book of 1 Timothy, the book of James, the first 3 chapters of Revelation, 1 and 2 Corinthians and the rest of the gospels as well.

    If you can continue to believe as you do, without taking any verses out of context or twisting them by ignoring other verses, then power to you, go for it.

    But test it against the Word of God for yourself. Don't just swallow every teaching that comes down the wire.

  • pauls teaching on the subject of giving and recieving is clear plain and simple, sow sparingly and reap sparingly. or is he talking about flour and bread. dont tell me God cant even depend on you for a loaf of bread. and yeah he is talking about bread...hmmm yeah right. your right when you say you can give mercy this is true but not totally and i think you know that too. i dont suspect that you are that stupid to miss the point about giving.. if you are good luck with whatever

  • Does this last post of yours show the fruit of the Holy Spirit in your life (Galatians 5:22), or something else?

    I give. I have a desire (although I won't do it unless my husband is in agreement) to give away everything I own and obey Jesus in that. I simply don't expect to get rich off of it.

  • well you should expect something, he said you can expect something, the word of God says when you help the needy you are lending to God and he will repay, he also says he takes pleasure in the prosperity of his saints, your a saint right? just like a father has pleasure when his kids succeed he also wants that for you whats so bad about expecting from him. giving without expecting anything in return is like false humility or misplaced humility why not sow expecting a harvest????

  • I did not say that I don't expect anything in return, but that I don't expect money in return. What I want in return is the harvest that Jesus promised. A harvest of souls for the kingdom of God and a harvest of righteousness. (cont'd)

  • My treasure is not on this earth, neither am I to set my heart or mind on anything on this earth (Colossians 3:1-4, 1 John 2:15-17). I can't take money or wealth with me to heaven, they are of no eternal benefit to me unless I give them away to serve others. If I have food and clothing and shelter, I will be content with that. I want to be rich in good works, rich in love toward God and others, and rich in the Word of God. Most of the scriptures for this I have already given.

  • If God decides to bless me financially, that is His business, but I won't seek that. I will seek His kingdom and His righteousness. (Matthew 6:33)

  • ooh thats so goooood well see ya

  • look unto Jesus! he is our model, is he greed? preach prosperiy gospel? or said "blessed are the poor " and said you cannot serve two master! mammon and God!

    is he proud?

    is he wealty? (or born in the manger)

    fil. 2:5-7...be like the mind of Christ!

    the preachers today used their talent to gain more wealth and positions!

    lord please let them saw the light!

  • For all have sinned and have come short of the glory of god.

    Prosperity, it of itself, it not bad or wrong. But when mixed in with the gospel and is preached in place of salvation and redemption, then it IS wrong.

    And why is it necessary to "sow " a "vow" of "faith" in order to receive the Holy Ghost?

    As Jesus said, freely given, freely received.

  • how can money = faith???

  • Preach on Donnie!!!!!!!!

  • Furthermore, these WoF preachers have little if any Bible/Theological school training...wake people. TBN is medium for the marketing of preachers not to spread the gospel. My success doesn't depend on whether I give to their ministry.

    Hinn-0 Bible Training

    Meyer- 0 " "

    Franklin- 0 " "

    Parsley- little " "

    P. White- 0

    Bynam- who cares

    list goes on

    Rhema BC- I would not want caught near that place

    WoF preachers you are destorying the Pentecostal message.

  • Word of Faith doctrine is theologically dishonest. Preaching on TBN is not the pinnacle of ministry. It possesses a false sense of faith. $Copeland$, $Haggin$, $Parsley$, $Hilton$, $Leroy $Thompson?!$ are a hoax. It is a fund raising fraud. Eventually they will exhaust the 5013c laws, which will only hurt the honest little chuches. The sad thing is they don't have be responsible for what they lie about...but then again...before God in judgment, they will pay dearly. It's cultish... ?Jim Jones?.

  • When Donnie Speaks It Is A Ho Check To The World If They Don't Listen And Turn Their Backs On The Gospel! Get Em Donnie Get Em Donnie!!!!!

  • Go Swaggart keep preaching the truth

  • Rev. Donnie........You told it 100% right and thank God you tell the truth on these false teachers who love money and not God:

    Rev. Michael Capps, Ph.D

  • its so terrible how the redneck preacher wants people to be poor. the only people who have a problem with prosperity preachers are the CHEAP AND STINGY people, these people blame the poor for being poor. this is why Jesus said you command great burdens but u yourself will not a lift a finger to help. woe to the self righteous

  • How terrible for you that you don't beleive the scipture, the bible says if they are not teaching Godliness, (which is against sin, teaching Love rightioness,) then he is a false propphet how terrible for you that you don't beleive the Word of God.

  • Hey lets see in ten years who still will be around. Those preachers hating against prosperity begging for money while at the same time begging for money because it it there birthday, or preachers who are trying to show by example how to have heaven on earth

  • The pot calling the kettle black.

  • The Lord knows the Swaggart's heart. It's true that both have had a sinful history, but it is written all have sin and came short to the glory of the Lord. If they repented they will be save. I think Donnie is doing a good thing

  • woe be unto the "Fat shepherds" who graze in the finest fields , wear the finest raiments .. while your flocks are starving -Isaiah"

    "Man cant have two masters , one will either love one and hate the other , or worship one and dispise the other , one cannot serve God and Mammon " - Mathew"

  • too bad we spend most of our time attacking other ministries and ignoring the word that says we should live peacable with all men. and work out our own salvation with fear and termbleing. the word says to remember the Lord for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, how do i get wealthy? the answer is sow and reap and build your faith wy studying the word and listening to preaching tapes like kenneth copeland and jerry savelle

  • Comment removed

  • you don;t knwo the Bible, and you not nothing it shows that you are decieved,

    Jude said Fight for your faith!!!

    Jude 1

    3Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

  • funny yopu talk about faith when the prosperity message is about faith, prosperity is about sowing and reaping and when ppl oppose the prosperity message, you know one thing for sure they are not doing, they are not sowing and reaping, this includes you, ppl like you would never even cross the street to help someone out. your the righteous person who crossed the road and neglected to help a person who was needing help, that message ius about ppl like that, that is who you are

  • How terrible for you that you think faith is about money, faith is raising people from the dead, show me the prosperity preacher who raise someone from the dead, woe unto you for you think that you can serve God and mammon, How terrible for you that you don't believe the scripture, do you have the Holy Ghost?? how terrible for you that you have not be born of the SPirit

  • kenneth hagin did raise his personal assistant from the dead, he prayed and asked the Lord to bring him back because he needed him. so God let him come back. and i said the prosperity message is about sowing and reaping, its not just about faith. you tied your shoes by faith, why cant you sow and reap by faith, whats so wrong about that, whats so wrong about telling ppl to sow into ministries and helping the poor. donnie is just mad because he doesnt have that kind of wealth too bad

  • ALl liars shall have their part in the Lake of fire, Kenneth, your lying, i did not tie my shoes by faith, faith is substance of things up for the evidence of thing not seen, who is teaching you the Bible?

    YOU want money get a Job, sow ad reaping you say, keep sowing covetousness,, and see what will happen,

  • and why do you give the wolves your money, search you own heart,

    Matthew 6:3 (the Words of Jesus Christ)

    But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

    (when you pay your tides, and give to the poor expect nothing back, Property preaching is false!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!)

  • you mean faith is the substance of things hoped for, at least quote it right. faith proves you believe God the book of James says to act on your faith, faith without works is dead(sowing).

  • 20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

    21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

    22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
