Re-charge your batteries

(2015-11-29 12:08:15) 下一個

Q. How do you re-charge your batteries? You seem to always be traveling, preaching, writing, talking with the media. Even Jesus went away to be alone, to pray, to listen.

A. I take the first half hour of almost every day to read my Bible, pray, meditate, thank God. And to really search my heart, too: "God, am I on the right path?" I try to start every morning: "God, am I making good decisions? Am I doing what you want me to do?" I find that, if I start that day, get refreshed, re-energized, I can go in there tired and leave after 30 minutes ready for the day. I’m also good at staying balanced. I work out. I take time for my family. I speak about 40 weeks in the year. That’s 12 weekends that I’m not having to prepare a message. Preparing for me –that takes my whole week. You’re better when you’re balanced.

What is so unusual about a 'lost' America embacing a 'lost' Evangelist with a message that 'tickles' their ears?

6 FALLACIES OF THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL (ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE)
1. If the prosperity gospel is true, Jesus wasn’t righteous.
Jesus was poor. You would expect the most righteous and sinless man in the world to have all the material prosperity in the world right? But he didn’t. Jesus was born to poor parents (Luke 2:24), had no place to lay his head (Luke 9:58), and was buried in a borrowed tomb (Luke 23:50-53)
2. Paul was a poor man.
Paul was a great Apostle who planted churches and served God faithfully. Yet Paul lived in poverty rather than material prosperity. “To the present hour we hunger an

He's a motivational speaker nothing more.His congregation are people who want their ears tickled by what he says,and the content of his preaching and books is directed at desparate people. That is why he is a mega star and mega millionaire.And I am going easy on him here.

Olsteen is a self serving liar who lives in a MANSION built by the offerings of his foolish followers!! Remember when he and his family were removed from their FIRST CLASS seat on a plane in Houston over a dispute over a "dirty pull down tray!" Come on Joel why don't you take the challenge from author Thomas Cole (GOD WHO?) to debate certain facts in the Bible?? We all know why, because you would lose in just a matter of minutes to a man who does know the entire Bible and knows more about your "God"! Any followers of this man need to start being so simple minded and start using the part of your brain that questions!!

Joel Osteen is an apostate! He is leading throngs of people into Hell and never talks about the consequences of sin or the blood of Christ, just for starters! Google he and his family's house and see what that looks like, too! Worth millions thanks to good decieved Christians while he is trying to denounce greed and prosperity! People, be very careful who you listen to! This is a wolf in sheep's clothing!

16000 sqft. Clowns. their followers are as much in idolatry of materialism as them, thinking following them they are becoming as "blessed$$" as them. Their teaching is so opposite of the ones from the writings of the Apostles in the Epistles, is scary opposite. Narcisim to the core. Shame on their followers that enable these clowns. They deserved each other.

Prosperity Ministries: God sat out the Holocaust, so do you really think He's going to lift a finger to get you a new Lexus?

(2 Timothy 4:3,4): For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

He's a false prophet, Brian and you are getting your ears tickled! He is telling you what you want to hear instead of what the gospel says about sin! You're on the wide path, not the narrow and hope you wake up before it's too late.

Charging to hear him, not what Jesus did!!!! Billy Graham never charged a ticket price for his. Olsteen could use his millions to fund his tours.

The only people who get wealthy from the prosperity message are the preachers of it, and unless he repents, Joel Osteen, as well as his wife, are going to stand before God in condemnation for the lying prosperity gospel that they teach. They havve perverted the Word of God, leading thousands of like-minded people into the pit of hell with him. At first, I used to feel badly for the thousands of people who have been deceived by Osteen and his wife until I heard someone say something that I hadn't considered. While there are a few (very few) exceptions, the people who cram into the Osteens' church every Sunday are not victims. They are there because they are in actual agreement what they preach. They have forsaken the true message of sin, redemption, and salvation for the gospel of "me and money." As II Timothy 4:3-4 says, "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." Nothing brings this to light as much as the success of Osteen's book, "Your Best Life Now" because the only way this could be your best life is if you are going to hell. The members are as guilty as the Osteens. It is truly tragic, and I pray that they turn from their self-centered wickedness and greed to the living God for forgiveness because God will not be mocked (Gal. 6:7-8).

When you serve other people and focus LESS on self, you find a Joy beyond words!! When a person learns to Trust again (especially able to Trust God again), they won't need Olsteen, or The View, or any other mental-masturbation to make them feel good about themselves !!!
(This advice was given without cost; it's in the category of Common Sense. My name is Phil and I approve this message !!!!)
