Jesse is as corrupt as Mike Johnson.
Luke 16:19-31
“There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. ..
I can never understand while folks will give money to this guy or any guy in the hopes of being rich...guess they flunked arithmetic....
Sure, God may grant prosperity; but God cannot be ordered about.
It is not hard to be poor in material things and rich in spirit.
God does bless with wealth, but if you pursue wealth, then the blessing of wealth flees from you.
You may end up with dead material things which cannot make you happy, but you lose the gentle whispers and joy of the conscious of Jesus’ presence, the essence of happiness, by pursuing wealth instead of pursuing Him.
God help him - and us - to turn from the law and the dead visible things of the world, flesh, and devil to once again embrace the invisible redemption of the cross and the gospel of the grace of Christ wherein is victory and by which we reign in life (Rom. 5:17).
My grandfather once said don’t trust a preacher who owns more than one suit. He didn’t mean that literally! He was making a point. And I think it was a good point.
Cant take it with you Jesse..which by your age your time is not to far away.
Sounds like a talented and crafty salesman. Too bad he’s not Christian.
yep.
There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
This guy hits several of them
H as he never heard the term “Reversal Of Fortune”?
Devastating material loss can happen to anyone.
Often just one damaging lawsuit away.
This moneychanger is just begging to have his table flipped.
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.
Matthew 19:25
A good enough huckster can make a good living at separating people from their money.
Great wealth and great riches will cause many people to accept the Mark of the Beast.
Because they’ll be about to lose everything that made them feel safe and secure.
In a heartbeat.
I admit, years ago, I used to watch him. He was funny sometimes and mixed humor with his preaching. When I finally realized that he was way into the “prosperity gospel” I stopped watching.
Dude’s a huckster of the first order.

Biden is working to make sure we’re all cursed with poverty...
The man with the diamond ring.
Born into a poor family in a *does anything good come out of Nazareth* kind of town, and as an adult He had nowhere to lay his head.
1 Timothy 6:6-19 But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. 8 But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.
As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
Thats why they had to kill him. He exposed their hypocrisy and threatened their control of the people.
