This landmark event focused on unity in the body of Christ. One highlight occurred last May, when Joyce spoke to tens of thousands of people at four separate conferences in England, France and the Netherlands. It was a tremendous opportunity to reach so many who don’t know Jesus Christ. We partnered with a cutting-edge media group in France to help reach people online with Joyce’s practical teachings. The results were beyond our expectations: Thousands immediately began signing up for our online courses. It helped set the stage for our conference last May, when over 13,300 people filled the venue in France to hear Joyce teach...and more than 18,000 also watched live online! It’s really pretty simple: Our goal is to continually find new and better ways to reach as many people as we can with God’s Word...to go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation (Mark 16:15). 9 SHARING THE NEWS IT’S BEEN A YEAR OF THANKS...

  • Word-Faith Movement (Positive Confession Movement)
    Word-Faith Movement (Positive Confession Movement) History, Beliefs, and Practices Identity: A movement (not a denomination as such) whose proponents teach that divine health and prosperity are the rights of every Christian who will apply enough faith to receive them. Popularized by television evangelists, the Word-Faith movement urges the appropriation of faith through the making of a “positive confession.” The movement is otherwise referred to as “Prosperity Gospel,” “Health and Wealth Gospel,” and “Name It and Claim It.” Founder(s): The movement has no “founders” as such, though Essek William Kenyon (1867-1948) is often credited with laying the foundation for the Word-Faith movement. Identified as subscribing to Word-Faith teaching are personalities such as Paul and Jan Crouch (Trinity Broadcasting Network), David Yonggi Cho, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, John Avazani, Joel Osteen, T. L. Osborne, Robert Tilton, Marilyn Hickey, Frederick Price, Benny Hinn, Oral Roberts, Jerry Savelle, Morris Cerullo, Casey Treat, Dwight Thompson, Rodney Howard-Browne,and Kenneth Hagin. Word-Faith ideas are featured and promulgated through television principally by the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Statistics: No statistics on the number of followers is available. History: The beginnings of the Word [of] Faith or Positive Confession Movement can be traced to the writings of the radio preacher and Methodist minister William Essek Kenyon (1867- 1948). He wrote about fifteen books in which he “stressed the power of words spoken in faith and the supremacy of a so-called revelation knowledge over knowledge obtained by the senses: ‘A strong confession [of positive faith]…brings God on the scene…Faith counts the thing done before God has acted.

  • Exposing Joyce Meyer by Josh Buice | Feb 14, 2008 ​ ​ Originally Published on the DBG Website
    Exposing Joyce Meyer by Josh Buice | Feb 14, 2008 ​ ​ Originally published on the DBG website: http://www.deliveredbygrace.com/exposing-joyce-meyer/ Peter promised in 2 Peter 2:1-2 that false teachers would come upon the people just ​ as they had plagued the people of God in the Old Testament days. He said, “But false ​ prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.” ​ Unfortunately, many of these false teachers are abundantly available on the television programs of T.B.N. and other affiliates across the world. One of the most popular television teachers who must be categorized as a heretic and a false teacher is Joyce Meyer. She is extremely popular with women and many men alike. She teaches on many practical issues which make her popular, but hidden beneath her practical teaching are troublesome doctrines that need to be exposed. Joyce Meyer (like most false teachers) teaches extra-biblical doctrines as if they are divinely inspired. Meyer even goes as far on one occasion as stating that the Bible is insufficient to reveal the truth and you must get specific knowledge through divine revelation. Errors on the Atonement Meyer can be classified as a Word-Faith teacher and as such has shown an inclination to waffle on major doctrines. In her 1991 booklet, The Most Important Decision You Will ​ Ever Make, an evangelistic work aimed at nonbelievers, she resounds the Word-Faith ​ view of Christ’s atonement: “During that time He entered hell, where you and I deserved to go (legally) because of our sin.

Her radio ministry reaches an estimated three billion people worldwide. She has become a New York Times bestselling author, with 70 books to her name and is received with ―rock star‖ status at over a dozen worldwide conferences each year.1 Many are inspired by her story: nearly her entire childhood marred with horrific sexual abuse, she overcame, and maintaining a positive attitude, has attained unfathomable success. Her transparent, direct, highly practical teaching style appeals to many. Controversy Yet her teaching is not without controversy. Websites, articles, books and video documentaries can be found which attempt to connect Joyce Meyer to outspoken Word of Faith teachers. Some material is more balanced than others.

    The Prosperity Gospel Defined • The “Prosperity Gospel” is a view now promoted from many pulpits that… • A) Financial well-being is God’s reward/sign of approval for Christians. • B) Sufficient faith, “positive” mind-sets, and monetary donations to churches will garner the approval of God, and thus serve to increase one’s wealth. • C) Also known as “health and wealth” gospel. “The Bankruptcy of Prosperity Preaching”, October 17th, 2010 , Southside Church of Christ, Fort Myers, FL • From Robert Tilton…“I believe that it is the will of God for all to prosper because I see it in the Word [of God], not because it has worked mightily for someone else.
