creflo dollar

[God_has_made_gold]

Does anybody here watch Creflo Dollar? He's my favorite(Paula White is my second favorite). I like him the best out of all the televangelists because he's a teacher. He gives practical advice and shows you how to use and apply the word of God, not just believe but how to put your faith in action. Alot of preachers just hype you up and get you excited, but his teaching gives confidence and understanding of the word.

That is true.. but his down fall is his Pride. Be very careful not to let it catch on to you. I love him so much and hearing his teachings is excellent but the Pride he has is just amazing.... sometimes I wonder if he is one of those false-prophets sent to deceive us.

Sometimes also his teaching can be so shallow.. I mean, he never talks about stories that Jesus did or others did.. like read them out in it's entirety and then explain it. He's so verses oriented it gets so shallow at times.

I heard some bad things about him at one time, but it's been so long ago I can't even remember what they were.

Charles Stanley is my favorite.

I like creflo dollar. he tells it like it is and I don't feel he is false at all. and what is wrong with taking the word and applying to your everyday life ? the word is alive and it is here to give us life and give it to us more abundantly. we are to test the spirits and I believe the holy ghost will quicken our spirit if they are not linning up with the word of God. I can say my aunt was dying of cancer and watching creflo blessed her and kept her on the straight and narrow until God called her home. So I see him as a blessing to her at the time she needed it.

Dont worry about some of the replies you will get Gawdschild. you could have named anyone and you would have gotten many replies saying they are false teachers or false prophets.

Just in case this comment was in any way directed to my comments above, you might like to know he's listed as one of my favorite preachers in my profile ever since I joined this site..

I'm wondering why a man of such great faith feels that he must be accompanied by bodyguards wherever he goes.

"I'm telling you, Jesus wasn't poor, and He didn't wear no rags, either. Like we march in on these Easter little plays that we do at our church, with those raggedy sheets on. Jesus didn't have no rags on. He wore designer clothes, honey!"?

Creflo Dollar (Creflo Dollar Crusade, February 9, 1999)

"Look at this. Revelation 3:17. Notice Jesus is talking here. He said, "Because thou saith 'I am rich, and increased with goods'"- See, we think in this society you can be rich and increased in good and not be poor. But now notice what He says: "Because thou saith 'I am rich, and increased with goods and have need of nothing'" - He said "That's what you said." - "And you knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked."Now wait a minute. This boy got money. He said "Yeah, but he's still broke in other areas of his life."Now here's what Jesus is trying to do over here in Luke. Go back to Luke, Chapter 4:18. Here's what Jesus wants to show us. This anointing is available to deliver whoever is without. Wherever you need to be made whole, the Gospel is the Good News about the power of God on Jesus to make you whole and get you out of your poverty, whether it's poverty in health or poverty in a blind money or poverty in money. This anointing is ready to deal with poverty. This anointing is ready to remove the burden and destroy the yoke. So, honey, you can be healthy tonight and you can be, you have your eyesight and you're able to walk, but you ain't got no money in your pocketbook, I'm telling you this anointing is ready to put some money in your pocketbook because He's ready to remove the burden of lack."

Creflo Dollar (Praise The Lord, TBN July 20, 1999)

"See, there are some people that believe not in prosperity. There are some people that don't want to hear it, they don't want to have anything to do with it. You say money in church, they put their little finger up and they go to walking out the church. As broke as they are, they go walking out church with their little finger up, 'cause Satan's got their minds blind. They've been blinded in their minds. They don't want to hear about prosperity. They don't want to hear about, that God is a God that wants to put money in your hand, that God is a God that has prosperity on His mind. They don't want to hear that. "Bless God, I want to hear about love and joy and peace." Well, you need to hear about money, because you ain't gonna have no love and joy and peace until you get some money!"

Creflo Dollar (Praise The Lord, TBN July 20, 1999)

"Now, last night we began to deal with the relationship between peace and prosperity, and we found out that the Hebrew word for "peace" is the word "shalom," and that word means "wholeness, completeness, nothing missing and nothing broken." And we read, and we'll look at it again tonight, it says "my soul is far from prosperity." Why? "Because my soul's far from peace because I forgot prosperity." We established last night that you are not whole until you get your money. Amen. Amen."

Creflo Dollar (Praise The Lord, TBN July 20, 1999)

"The substance of the house you want is faith substance. ...before the wood, before the tree, before the seed, there was the substance. And when you get the substance, then you can get the seed, which will bring the tree, which will produce the wood, which will build your house. But without faith stuff, you have no stuff, because faith stuff is the stuff of all stuff. Take away the faith stuff, you ain''t got no stuff. Get the faith stuff, and you can get some more stuff, because you got the main stuff. Now, did you get all that stuff?"

Creflo Dollar (Changing Your World Show, September 20, 1998)

"You operate by a spirit of poverty if you are critical of those who preach and teach prosperity. My God, man, I told you last night that Bible talks more about money than it does about heaven, and all we got to do is open the Bible up for ourselves and see it instead of sitting there being afraid to hear it."

I'm wondering why a man of such great faith feels that he must be accompanied by bodyguards wherever he goes.

Why not?

I'm just wondering if Dollar has faith in Matt. 10:28, "And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna."

Some, if not many, of Dollars teachings seem questionable to me. nevertheless, if a man is truly of great faith he would not fear any personal harm or death. After all, the Lord went willingly, and even rebuked Peter for trying to protect Him.

I believe this is, at least in part, some justification for the lavish lifestyles that Word-Faith preachers live. yet there is no evidence either from Scripture or history that Jesus "lived large."

Amen Ovedya!

Check your heart, if your looking at all your wof preacher has (ie..money/possessions), and want it too then theres a problem.
