Longtime televangelist and senior Pastor of New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Florida, Paula White offered her followers an Easter Sunday deliverance from a spiritual death sentence for a $1,144 "resurrection seed" she says was set by God.
Preaching the story of Lazarus who Jesus resurrected from the dead in John 11:38-44, White promised believers in a video appeal that if they would sow the seed and have faith, she believed deliverance would come.
"I don't know what is dead. I don't know what the enemy sent a death to. I don't know what decision that caused death to come upon whatever the situation you're facing, but I do know that God has sent me to you to bring resurrection life. To tell you that I believe that as we put our faith together before Easter Sunday on March 27, there's gonna be resurrection life in your life," said White.
"The grave clothes are coming off," she continued. "Whatever residue of death. Whatever residue is holding you back, it is coming off."
White then revealed to her audience that she didn't normally request a specific amount in monetary donations but said God was very specific about the amount required for the so-called resurrection seed.
"There's someone that God is speaking to, to click on that donation button by minimizing the screen. And when you do to sow $1,144. It's not often I ask very specifically but God has instructed me and I want you to hear. This isn't for everyone but this is for someone. When you sow that $1,144 based on John 11:44 I believe for resurrection life," said White.
For those who couldn't afford her specific request for the resurrection seed, White encouraged them to give smaller donations.
"You say, Paula, I just don't have that, then sow $144. I don't have that. Sow $44 but stand on John Chapter 11:44," she asserted.
White then promised that in return for sowing the resurrection seed, donors would receive special prayer cloths that could possible cause special miracles, signs and wonders.
"And when you do, there are prayer cloths that we have anointed that we have prayed over, that are going to be a point of contact. In Acts 19, the Bible says, Paul prayed over these prayer cloths and they brought forth special miracles, signs and wonders. There have been times that I have taken prayer cloths that have been anointed as a point of contact. I put them in my loved ones sneakers, I put them under their bed. I put them on parts of my body that I believe God for healing," said White.
"And it was the most dire, distressed, absolutely devastating circumstance. I would stand in faith that that miracle was gonna come forth and I would watch God do it. God has never failed. I can sit here and say this. There is not anything in my life that I've prayed according to the word of God and I've not seen God answer," she continued.
White was quick to note, however, that donors who sow a resurrection seed should not expect God to respond like a "sugar daddy."
"Cause there are things I've prayed out of ignorance or asked out of my own desire and I said God, but your will be done. 'Cause I knew, His word is His will. See His will is for whatever is dead in your life to come back to life. How do I know? John 10:10. Jesus came to give you life and give you life more abundantly," she said. "So click on and minimize that screen and right now sow your miracle resurrection seed as we stand in faith together and I believe God for your miracle."
Well guess what, as usual you were told wrong....it is CHRIST who keeps the Catholic religion from erring....as He promised.
All Cathoics want to complain about their latest Pope, but it he really doesn't care what the little people think.
It's easy!
Do they kiss the ring of Rome's Bishop?
If not; then...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope
{Cue the music...}
Every day with JESUS;
is sweeter than the day before....
And for our Catholic brethren:
Every day with Francis;
is... eh; not so much.
LOL, you don’t actually have a clue what your religion claims! Have you ever read about the Inquisition? Are you aware of what your Pope Pius xii said and did to support the Nazi holocaust?
I guess it was your GOOD popes that started the Marian teachings that are not found in the bible.
Probably a Fine pope than said you guys should pray that rosary thing.
Evidently an Excellent pope that approved the following:
"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours."
--Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215) <
But thank GOD none of those Godd, Fine or Excellant popes ever changed ANYTHING in the way you Catholics do things since Jesus' day!!!
Excellent rebuttal!
Much better than; "You are stupid!"
you really need some new material.
Better call Saul Mary; 'cause Jesus sure didn't do a very good job with them CATHOLIC churches that John mention in the book ROME assembled.
Yes indeed, it comes from within, as a result of our salvation, not the cause of it. I think OTCers tend to believe either we are saved by grace and kept by works, or, as in my case, when I was in the OTC, I thought my salvation was entirely by works, with no grace whatsoever, remembering that "grace" might have a different meaning to others.
Maybe I should have paid more attention in catechism class. 🙉🙊🙈
Here is another weird thing. When I was in the OTC, I actually believed in evolution. Don't ask me why, I have no clue why.
In high school religion class, the priest (I still remember his name) told us the Flood was a local thing, not worldwide. I asked if Mount Sinai was the mountain that the Flood got deep enough to cover. I was already getting a reputation as a trouble maker. Later, it got worse. 😊
Much better than; "You are stupid!"
Are you sure those are not simply trigger words for "you are stupid?" 😀😆
You seem to HATE the Navigators.
You reasons may be valid; but looking over their mission statement, I found the following.
Perhaps you can point out just what is wrong with the numbered items for us.
The Navigators holds several core beliefs that form the foundation of our ministry.
So if the pope decided that remarried people can now receive communion, then that's not error?
Does that mean that the church was in error before when it didn't allow remarried people to receive communion?
I know you are all connoisseurs of great gospel music. My favorites to sing in church, though none of you know what church I go to. Suffice it to say, it is not the OTC. But the hymns are, "I Shall See You Soon Again" by Evie Karlsson. "Scars in the Hands of Jesus" by The Greenes, and "Acres of Diamonds" by William McCrea.
You know that is truly a joyful NOISE to the Lord. 😄
Some sad things happened to good Navigators that I knew. One was a USAF pilot, killed when his F-100 crashed in 1972. Another was onboard KAL 007, on Sept 1, 1983, though I didn't find out about it till 1985. Another USAF O-2 pilot, and a USAF flight surgeon, both lost their wives at early ages. Good people, but they are with Jesus now, and would rather not come back to earth, even if they had an option, which they don't.
Sorry your Eminense Hossus 1. I just had a vapor lock, and forgot to ask your permission. The truth is, I have unofficially been my own pope for many moon. Now, however, I need to make a formal request to be my own pope, as long as I don't have to kiss your ring. 😖👎😤
I was thinking of a name for myself, that I wanted to run by you, for your approval. How about Pope Marcus Navigatorus Extraordinarus? It kinda be of has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
Ping to 237
But all Elsie is going to hear is crickets......
