See, Joe, you missed her whole point. Jesus said the "little foxes spoil the vines." Joyce says that you cannot cast out demons if you don't have control over a sink full of dirty dishes. That is PERFECT advice and is far from "soft" Christianity. Quite the contrary, she (and all other Word of Faith teachers I've heard---dunno who you listen to) HARP on discipline in ALL things. I don't see any way shape or form that this is "soft" or easy.
If you take any time to listen to Fred Price explain how he got to where he is, faith-wise, he takes great pains to explain how he gets up at 5:00 to pray for 1 1/2 hours! Now, that's not to pat him on the back, but I see Max Lucado, one of the favorites of the "deny yourself" crowd admit that he only prays 1/2 hour. Again, this isn't a "comparison" of prayer time, but only examples. I just don't get this notion that "faith" people have it easy. I could tell you what I do daily---it isn't enough, but it is COMPLETELY the reason I receive from God what I do receive.
Hey, I really like Fred Price and Max is alright if you like a la-de-da gospel.
Joyce is OK too for immature Christians. But sooner or later you have to grow up. Maybe oneday we all will, including Joyce.
Hope nobody spills coffee on her right before Jesus comes!
You must be referin to Frederick KC price who said "God has to be given permission to work in this earht realm on behalf on man...Yes! You are in control! So, if man has contol, who no longer has it? God" NOW THAT IS NEW AGE!!
