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."
Could you explain the concept of the Mormon Jesus?
And these guys represent the Catholic religion and claim to be standing in Christ's stead.

How do you know what Jesus they believe in? Did they tell you? Did you do a survey and ask them?
So prove your point that everyone believes in their own version of Jesus. Show us the post numbers. Back up your claim.
But the Mormon Jesus fits that description and it's in writing for all to see.
You know, not the one found in Scripture who is God with us, virgin born.
The Mormon Jesus is not God come in the flesh, but rather the half brother of Satan being born of Mary after she and God had sex.
That Mormon Jesus is *NOT* the Jesus of the Bible.
If I stated that one of the fundamental tenants of 'Methodism' is the utter condemnation of Catholicism as the religion of The Devil, and lots of Methodists come smiling to your door, would you say that not once has a Methodist insulted you or your religious beliefs, knowing it is a fundamental tenant of this 'Methodism' to condemn utterly all aspects of Catholicism?
Shirley you 'feel' more holy than some of us today, but you would do well to learn more about the fundamental beliefs of these 'exemplary' fellow religionists.
There are times when the mule needs a 2 x 4 to get its attention ... I hope your arm is not sore from all that patting yourself on the back as you strive to obtain salvation.
Would you, being so much more educated in the scriptures, show me this teaching in Numbers 21 and in John 3, to Nicodemus? Thanks, I’m sure you have our best interest at heart, so you will do this for us, right?
You just have yourself a good day now.
Of course you disagree, Luther, Wesley, Calvin, Smythe, HenryVIII, Knox, Amman, Seabury, etc. etc. etc. all thought that they were right too.....they weren't.
Catholics have no need to bluff anything....they are assured of Heaven by following Christ and His church, and His Sacraments as guidance. The Protestants, on the other hand have to bluff their every move which is why they are referred to as PROTESTORS. Once you go off on a tangent and decide to make your own rules, interpret the bible as you see fit, and deny Christ's church....you are doing the bluffing. What if Christ asks you, directly, "why did you reject My church and turn your back on the Eucharist which I gave you as a gift of Myself"......I won't have to answer to that question......you will.
are you suggesting that Christ was not God??? or that Mary was not His mother????? What?
Still haven’t read John 3 and Numbers 21, to see the actual Gospel of Salvation, eh. You will be surprised at how wrong your religion has it with all your striving ... for raw pride, deep down, that you did it, you were good enough at the hoops! And you’ll be wrong ...
There have been 267 Popes over 20 centuries, and you point out a handful who have been of questionable character, none of whom ever erred in teaching of faith and morals, yet you would follow one of THOUSANDS of protestant "denominations" and think nothing of the error in each and every one....O.K., I guess.
I have never heard of Amman, except it is the capital of Jordan. I have never heard of Seabury. Don't they make hard drives, or is that Seagate? 😀 The others? I haven't studied their teachings.
I don't have time. I am too busy conducting Bible studies for members of a different religious persuasion. We had it yesterday. It was good, because everything was translated into English for me. You should have been here. It was a beautiful thing. It was nice to see all these people enjoying their assurance of salvation. They have no intention of trying to bluff their way into Heaven. Neither do I.
I disagree bro. You already told me I didn't need the sacrments, and I agree with that. It is the only thing that you and I agree on.
I didn't reject "His church," I reject your church. The two are mutually exclusive.
Salvation isn't in some church, whatever it may be. There are some saved and lost people in many churches.
It is nice to be my own pope. You should try it. You'll like it. If someone has no assurance of salvation, that's on them
You just follow Frances.
Catholics always seem to ignore those promises.
I’ve never given Parsley a dime, nor do I endorse him in any way, but he has given some powerful sermons at various points of his ministry.

As for Paula White, haven’t heard from her since she was caught in an affair with Benny Hinn. Don’t remember much of value before then either.
A local church is almost always your best option.
