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."
That works.
We can call you Pope Mark for short.
No ring kissing required.
Yadayada dominoes.
Net Pope Hossus I
That would, as far as I'm concerned , be an error.....and he won't decide that.
The Catholic church, unlike our country, is not controlled by what the little people think....in face we have nothing to do with it. The church was established by Christ and follows Him and His teachings I, as a Catholic, don't get to vote on church dogma, it was pretty well set a couple thousand years ago. The Pope, by and large, runs the everyday, mundane business operations of a VERY large organization. Other than the normal activities of a priest/Bishop saying Mass, P.R. appearances, blessing folks and kissing babies....his life has to be pretty much that of any other Bishop (he is the bishop of Rome you know).
I am more than a little educated on both topics, and for you to bring them up means that you are not....you have no where to go on either one so quit while you're not too far behind.
Where does Catholicism differ from those points?
A Limerick for your enjoyment. 😀😄
Eat your hearts out brothers and sisters. 😀
Since when does the church allow you an opinion in the matter?
Yes; that is what I asked of you.
A goodie!
Wave the magic haughty, proclaim the other beneath your response, and voila! Do not need to answer anything thereafter.
BTW, TC, this female is clearly an aspect of antichrist, trying to ‘sell’ what only God can do ... reminds me of the sale of indulgences when the coffers were running low in the building project at the Vatican!
Two goodies my friend, two goodies. I can just see the wheels turning in your mind right now, as you conjure up a good Limerick. How about a good one for the OTC? You can do it. 😆😄😎😆
but she looks kinda not guilty.
Eyes of an angel, soul of antichrist, trying to increase her coffers selling ‘indulgences’. worked for Catholiciism but let’s hope not for her scam.
Let's consult FR's expert in matters such as these...
Other than in stated dogma...the church not only allows, but welcomes opinions....you really don't know a lot about Catholicism, do you?? I don't have to agree with anything that Pope Francis says unless he, speaking from the Chair of Peter, declares it infallible.....and he hasn't. I disagree completely with his views on global warming, capitilism and the like....I can do that, and I do.
