None of us have "the DNA of a winner."  We all have the DNA of a SINNER!  All of Osteen's weak platitudes and glee club catch phrases have both pride and greed as their root motivation.

Osteen was not "called."  His mother passed the ministry on to him after his father's death and he has absolutely no formal training when it comes to being a Pastor.

He has openly stated that he will not deal with the issue of sin from the pulpit.  He refuses to answer specific questions about sin, or always answers "I don't know."

He is a Universalist.  He believes everyone is saved no matter what they do or who they do or do not worship.

He teaches that God's purpose for us is to be wealthy and physically well and we get that by blackmailing God into action with magical words and phrases.

Explain to me which one of those doctrines are biblical. 

He studied in Oral Roberts University who was a wolve as well.

I have the DNA of a winner" is true and biblical   It most certainly is.  We have to Holy Spirit living inside of us..Part and parcel with us.  I know.  You'll say the Holy Spirit is spirit thus has no DNA   Wrong!   Spirit DNA is just as much DNA as physical.  Its just a different kind.

You say " We all have the DNA of a SINNER! "  Show me that one in the bible.  The bible says the man that was a sinner died!  Then it says the man was born again an entire new creation.   Of course you don't have to believe the Word.

And we WERE created in the image of God.

So far it appears that you are spouting false doctrine my friend.  You need to get into the Word and find out what it really says.

You have never listened to him but you defend him? Where is the wisdom in THAT?

You dont have first hand knowledge of what he teaches so you are in no position to defend him OR call him called by God! That is just plain ludicrous !!

I'm asking YOU what Osteen says that is so wrong?  That's not defense. I'm pointing out that you are doing stuff wrong.  That's not defense.

56 I have been raised up to sit in heavenly places Ephesians 2:6

57 I am called with a holy calling  2 Timothy 1:9

58 I dwell in God and God dwells in be because of the anointing 1John 4:16

59 I am the head and not the tail Deuteronomy 28:13
I believe that the words "I Am" are two of the most powerful words a believer can say because they will lock them in with the Father. God is therefore I am. Claiming these promises these words of the bible will have the effect of clarifying (perfecting) our awareness of our identity with Divinity which conceives and controls all the details of our lives by faith.

I don't know about the rest of it.  Its all hearsay.  Not admissible.

Its not my job to judge any man called by God.   I'm saying that what you've said is nothing but hearsay.

I thought you JUST SAID that you have never listened to him? How do you know he is called by God? Is it his pretty smile and his 10 million dollar house that tipped you off? LOL

You dont have any experience or research to back up your words. How smart is that? LOL

He has a degree, but he has never taken even the most rudimentary courses such as hermeneutics, Bible book surveys, etc.  His degree is in communications and media because he started out running the churches media like TV and radio.  He has no biblical training at all.

I was agreeing with you and providing info to strengthen the claim

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
