Heretic.
"Supposing
that gain is godliness; from such withdraw
thyself... But godliness with contentment is great gain...
And having food and clothes let us be content...But they
that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into
many foolish and hurtful lusts... For the love of money is
the root of all evil, which, while some have coveted after,
they have erred from the faith...But thou, O man of God,
flee these things, and follow after righteousness,
godliness,
faith, love, patience, meekness,"
1 Timothy 6:6-11.
Jesse Duplantis Quotes.
Curtecy of http://www.myfortress.org/JesseDuplantis.html
"I've
never had the Lord say, 'Jesse, I think that car is a little bit too nice.'
I've had vehicles and the Lord said, 'Would you please go park that at your
house. Don't put that in front of my house. I don't want people to think
that I'm a poor God.'" (Jesse Duplantis, "When Will We
Yield To The Anointing of Wealth II," April 10, 2005)
"People don't like being commanded to do something. Except
God! God says, 'Command ye Me!'...That's not arrogance! That's understanding
who you are! Quit judging yourself like you're merely human! You're more
than human!" (Jesse Duplantis, "Spring Praise-A-Thon,"
TBN, April 6, 2005)
"The Bible makes it clear that the blessings of God are a
result of choice, not chance. Yet, a lot of people don't preach this very
basic truth anymore. Why? They're scared of Christian terrorists who'll
fly into them with accusations. There
is persecution that comes when you preach prosperity, but the Lord told
me, 'Jesse, don't you back off that message because it takes money to get
the gospel to the world.' 'But Jesus was poor!' Someone argued. You are
living in a dream world if you believe that. Have you ever been to a casino?
Have you ever seen a gambler say, 'I'm putting all my money on those torn
up, old clothes?' They don't gamble for rags. Yet, the Bible says that the
Roman soldiers gambled for Jesus clothes. They must have looked pretty good.
He also had a full time staff of 12 and a part time staff of 70." (Jesse
Duplantis, "Prosperity is not About Possessions, It's About Priorities,"
Voice Of The Covenant Magazine, February 2004)
Note: This article abouve deals with the terrorists from September
11. Jesse equates them to Christians "Who fly" accusations into
them! How cruel to to equate that with terrorists "that flew"
their planes into those buildings and
committed 2,500 hundred murders!
"Jesus rode what I like to call a Continental Donkey. One of them Cadillac
Donkey's that had never been rode. You might want a car that has never been
drove. You ever think about that?" (Jesse Duplantis, Daystar
Fall, "Share-A-Thon," September 15, 2004)
Jesse Duplantis: "People told me, 'Well, they say, Jesus was poor.'
When was He poor ? I would like to know when He was poor. Well, He was born
in a stable. Why ? Why was He born in a stable ? Because that short, deaf
lady lost their reservation. He couldn't get into the inn. Think about that
for a minute... And He had 12 full time people on His staff. Some were married
and He took care of them. He had 70 part timers. You don't gamble for rags
Marcus."
Marcus Lamb: "Yeah."
Jesse Duplantis: "You don't gamble for rags. You gamble for some clothes
that cost. Don't you ? He wanted a donkey that had never been rode. As I
said earlier, 'You might want a car that has never been drove.'
Marcus Lamb: "He had a full time treasurer on staff."
Jesse Duplantis: "That's right! And stole for three years and the other
guys didn't know about it."
Joni Lamb: "And wise men came to see Him."
Jesse
Duplantis: "That's right! I mean He wasn't three minutes on the ground
and the three wise guys are looking for Him with what? Gold, Frankincense,
and Myrrh. Let me tell you something, this concept that Jesus was in poverty
is totally wrong!" (Jesse Duplantis, Marcus Lamb, and Joni
Lamb, Daystar Fall, "Share-A-Thon," September 15, 2004)
"I know why people get mad at me for being blessed...It's
because I'm the only one they see! They can't see God so they take it out
on me. But, that's ok, I stick up for my Father. I stick up for His Word.
Harvest time is mine!" (Jesse Duplantis, "Your Future
is in Your Seed," Voice Of The Covenant Magazine, May 2004)
"I'm laying this responsibility right on me too, because I have got
to believe every day for my partners that they will receive thirty, sixty,
and a hundred fold." (Jesse Duplantis, "Your Future is
in Your Seed," Voice Of The Covenant Magazine, May 2004)
"If I give $1,000 dollars I deserve to get back $100,000 because I
am just, that's not greed!" (Jesse Duplantis, December 19,
2003 TBN, "The just shall live by faith.")
"Cash is king!...The hundered fold works! If I give $50 you mean God
will give me $5,000? Yes!...If you give $1,000 in the offering this morning,
will God give you $100,000 by tomorrow? Yes!" (Jesse Duplantis,
January 24, 2004, The Church Channel, "The Choke Hold")
"Even
in intensive care units I smile. They try to smile and I say, 'Are you having
problems?' They say, 'Yeah.' I say, 'Have no fear Jesus is here.'"
(Jesse Duplantis, "Your future Is In Your Seed," May 21,
2004)
"The very foundation of what God does is sowing and reaping.
If you don't get that you will not get anything else...He sowed Christ expecting
Christians." (Jesse Duplantis, "Your future Is In Your
Seed," May 21, 2004)
"All my life I've heard people say, 'Jesse, you want your
pie in the sky and you want to eat it too.' That's true, I do....But for
you to act properly in heaven, you have to learn some things on earth. If
you have never lived in a mansion, you don't know how to act in one."
(Jesse Duplantis, "Getting Your Pie in the Sky and Eating it
Too," Voice Of The Covenant Magazine, November 2003)
"So
how do you get your pie in the sky and eat it too? By using the power that
God has put inside you. According to the Bible, He has given us the power
to get saved, the power to get healed and the power to get wealth. He's
also given us the power to get anything else we need." (Jesse
Duplantis, "Getting Your Pie in the Sky and Eating it Too," Voice
Of The Covenant Magazine, November 2003)
More Rampant
Anti-intellectualism from the Anointed
Gnostic - Mr. Jesse Duplantis
"Naturally, the devil tried to shut down this living, breathing Church. He wanted dry bones. He began to take the freshness of God and put Ecclesiastical dogma on it. He used theological Understanding to water down the fire." (Jesse Duplantis, Voice of the Covenant magazine, November 1997, p. 7)
Jesse tells a lady in a wheelchair and a woman with cancer that
they don't need to be in that situation.
"...Put your hand over this lady. Get a shot of her. That's what
cancer does. Now we're going to fill 'em with Jesus does. Not
for our glory, but for the glory - look at me, girl, look at me! I
won't lie to you. I had too many people lie to me."
"I don't deny this sickness in your body. I deny
its right. Jesus
paid for this. So if He paid for it, you don't need to have it. He
couldn't give it to you, 'cause He don't have any. He didn't send
it to you to teach you something, because it's not teaching you
nothing but pain and sorrow."
It is Recorded where ???????
Let
me tell you something about Calvary. Calvary was nothing
else but unmitigated war. You understand? It was a fight between God and
the devil, and the devil thought he won. They said, "We killed Him.
He's dead. Bless God, bury that boy and we ain't gonna talk about Him no
more."
But three days later, in the midst of a party, the Lord Jesus came alive, the Spirit of God came out. Jesus said, "Will you leave my soul in hell?"
And
Jehovah-Jira said, "Bless God, no," and He raised Him from
the dead. Every demon in hell said "What are we going to do?
What are we going to do?"And it was recorded,
they said, "If we
would have known, we would have never crucified Him." (Jesse
Duplantis Show, Trinity Broadcasting Network, October 5, 1998)
Unfortunately,
Jesse forgot to tell us where that was recorded!
Jesse on prosperity.
The religious world: "Oh Lord, I just want just enough to get me by."
Well, what happens when you get by? When you get by something you gotta go somewhere else. See, God will bless you as much as you can receive. People say, "Well, I believe God. I don't believe in that prosperity stuff." It's in the Bible. "Well, people got greedy with it." Well, that's true, but you don't throw the baby out with the bath water. If poverty is so wonderful, howcome Jesus left? He ain't poor no more! He ain't walkin' on no asphalt streets. I'm telling you, He's on gold streets. God! God, I'm walkin' on gold streets.
There
gonna be some people get up there and go "oh, Lord, no, I
can't walk on that! Oh, Lord! Oh, Jesus, Lord! Put gravel on there, Lord."
He gonna say "Shut up, fool! Walk on the street. What you think I built
it for?"
To Him it's something that you walk under it. He wears this nice
clothing. He ain't no problem with that. You can't impress God with your
wealth on your best day. See, I am believing for things that are impossible.
And you know, everything I've ever done's been impossible, and it became
possible just by walking in faith with it.
I've had many people say, you can't believe like that! Well, bless
God, watch me! What faith will do for one man, faith
will do for another. Watch me! You watch me and this Mr. Cessna man here,
I'll be the first preacher to buy a brand new, spankin' new, brand new jet
that will fire all over this world. Get that sucker out of that glass hanger!...You
can say all you want, Jack. I'll fly by your house and tip the wing. I'm
gonna get something for Jesus. I'm gonna do something for God. (Jesse
Duplantis Show, Trinity Broadcasting Network, October 8, 1997)
Jesse on the importance of having wealth.
Speaking about Mark 4
Duplantis:
This is the most important chapter in the Bible,
in my
opinion, because it deals with sowing and reaping….
Now
notice this sower here. He sows 4 times. He sows verse 4,
he sows 5, he sows verse7, he sows verse 8. This man here loses
75% of his seed! He loses verse 4, he loses verse 5, he loses verse
7. Now he gets blessed on verse 8, thank you Jesus! But he lost
verse 4, verse 5, verse 7. I wonder how many you lost?
Now
the Lord told us to go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature,
didn't He? It costs billions of dollars to do that, between the satellite
communication hookup and Everything!
Everything! Well, how come we haven't done it yet? Because we've lost verse
4, we've lost verse 5, we've lost verse 7. Every once in a while we get
blessed on verse 8. But just think if you got blessed 30, 60 or 100 fold
on verse 4; 30, 60 or 100 fold on verse 5; 30, 60 or 100 fold on verse 7;
30, 60 or 100 fold on verse 8, look out Toronto! Now you could buy it. Because
every time you give God $50, He gives you $5000. Every time you give Him
$100, He gives you $10,000. Every time you give Him $1000, He gives you
$100,000. Every time you give him $100,000, $10 million. Before you know
it, that building
is yours, because they will sell it for the right price. You pick the
denomination, God picks the multiplication.
Verse 23 of Mark 4: If any man have ears to hear, how does faith come? So you can substitute to read 'if any man have ears to faith, let him faith."
…So
it's up to you what you give. But you see if you forget what
you sow and do not name your seed, then the devil will steal
your harvest and you don't know - 'God, the devil's stolen' - you
can't figure out what is happening.
…The
multiplication system of God that God put into the family.
Now I had a theologian tell me one time, "I tell you what, Brother
Jesse, if you truly understood the Word of God, you would realize that Mark
Chapter 4 is not dealing with economic substance. It's dealing with seed."
I said, "Sir, you can't eat 30,000 acres of corn."
…I had a man say, "You look so prosperous, Brother Jesse." I said, "Well, I'm backed by a very rich Jew. Yeah!! Yes, I am! His Name is Jesus. I'm backed by Him." (Jesse Duplantis, Trinity Broadcasting Network, September 21, 1998)
Jesse
Duplantis - A man with a short theology and tall tales.
He is a man with more stories than anyone else has in their holster. Unlike his discipler Copeland, there is very little expository teaching from him. Nonetheless, we have another who alters the word to his likin'. Duplantis uses his personal stories to woo his audience into laughter.
And
he is funny, but it is not funny what he teaches! Duplantis shows a disdain
for doctrine. “Naturally, the devil tried to shut down this living,
breathing Church. He wanted dry bones. He began to take the freshness of
God and put Ecclesiastical dogma on it. He used theological understanding
to water down the fire.”
(Jesse Duplantis, Voice of the Covenant magazine, November 1997, p. 7)
