A bad economy is never a good thing…….or is it? God used swarms of locusts to destroy the crops in Judah, in order that the people would stop depending on the sacrifices in the temple to cover their sins, and return to obedience to YHVH. Joel 1:13-14–“Gird yourselves and lament, you priests; wail, you who minister before the altar; come, lie all night in sackcloth, you who minister to my God; for the grain offering and the drink offering are withheld from the house of your God. Consecrate a fast, call a sacred assembly; gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.”
Well, now, all those who have “sown” into Rod Parsley’s “ministry” in order to get their “abundance” and their “breakthrough” may have to send their money elsewhere. Seems that things aren’t going so good in the Rod Parsley House of Heresy™ (from the Columbus [OH] Dispatch):
The headline of the appeal for donations reads: “Will you help me take back what the devil stole?”
When asked to comment yesterday, Parsley’s World Harvest Church issued a statement saying the recession caused a decline in member giving in 2009, which has led to a fourth-quarter deficit of $3 million despite a 30 percent reduction in the budget.
This year, the church settled for $3.1 million with a family whose son was spanked at its day-care center in 2006, to the point his buttocks and legs were covered with welts and abrasions.
The boy, then 2, said he was spanked with a “knife” by a substitute teacher. His parents, Michael and Lacey Faieta, believe it was a ruler.
Yeah, the devil stole that money, alright. He used Rod Parsley to steal that money from people who could least deserve to lose it.
Perhaps Rod can put his money where his mouth is (pun intended), practice what he preaches, and “sow a seed” into a ministry that takes the gospel to the poor and the sick. And by “gospel” I mean the REAL gospel–the one that says we are dead sinners who need the blood of Christ to pay the debt we owe to God. Not the heretical “prosperity” gibberish that spews from Parsley’s mouth.
Rod Parsley is a gready money devil.
Yeah, tell the raging prophet to sell that airplane and sell that home that he bought with GODs money and give it to the poor as JESUS required him to do in the book of Matthew.
I do feel sorry for so called preachers that get on TV and beg for money and use it to their own reasons, JESUS said go ye out into the world and preach the gospel, sell that which you have and give it to the poor. Now a days they gather what they can for themselves and let the poor die. GOD will say, I NEVER KNEW YOU, DEPART FROM ME INTO THE EVERLASTING FIRE PREPARED FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS.
and its not going to be long before HE returns and there is going to be a lot of these so called preachers disapointed in what JESUS is going to say to them.
