However, this too is a heretical lie. Christ is speaking of the Holy Spirit.ìÖhow much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy
Spirit to them that ask him?î Luke 11:13
Paul Crouch claims that in 15 minutes a dear brother ìtrashedî the seed faith
message that Oral Roberts has been preaching for 40 years. As demonstrated
here, the scriptures used to back this teaching up have been twisted and
perverted to mean something that they donít. If the teaching were from the Lord,
it would stand the scrutiny of the Word of God.
ìAnd now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them
alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to
nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye
be found even to fight against God.î Acts 5:38-39
Perhaps the Apostles of Greed took their lessons from monks during the
Middle Ages. Given the austere lifestyles of those in the monasteries, many
people believed that God would listen to them before He listened to anyone else.
Prayer became a very profitable business. Kings and nobles that desired the
favor of God paid the monks to pray for them. So they could have even more
prayers being said for them, they built the monks chains of monasteries. The
more monasteries there were, the more monks there would be, and the more
prayers would be said for the king. More prayers meant more money coming into
the monasteries.
Although they are quick to tell you of the blessings someone will be showered
with for supporting their efforts; what the Apostleís of Greed donít want you to
hear about is the devastation these seed faith teachingís have caused to
multitudes that have listened to and heeded these charlatans. How many have
given hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousandís of dollars to these
ministries thinking they are being obedient to God, only to be sadly disappointed
and left destitute when the promised financial overflowing fails to come to pass.
If the guarantee of ìthirty, sixty, hundred or thousand foldî return is the Word of
God, why doesnít it happen every time?
ìSo shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall
not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I
please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.î
Isaiah 55:11
Passing the buck is par for the course to the Apostleís of Greed. Like Aaron in
the wilderness of Sinai, when things donít go as promised, blame someone else.
