"For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears." (Acts 20:29-31)
FALSE TEACHER: JESSE DUPLANTIS
UNBIBLICAL STATEMENTS FROM JESSE DUPLANTIS
"He (God) trusts me enough to borrowing my money. It's an honor for God to ask you to borrow your money. I've had the Lord say, 'Would you help me out today?' Yeah, what you need Lord? 'A couple of bucks.' Ok!" (Jesse Duplantis, We Care Ministries, Audio -Clip)
"The very first thing on Jesus' agenda was to get rid of poverty! Would you like to know why some people, including ministries, never get out of poverty? It's not because they aren't smart. It's not because they don't have windows of opportunity. It's because they're not anointed. If you're not anointed, poverty will follow you all the days of your life. His first objective was to get rid of poverty." (Jesse Duplantis, "Voice of The Covenant," Page 5, November 1997)
"If I give $1,000 I deserve to get back $100,000 because I am just; that's not greed!"
(Jesse Duplantis, "The Just Shall Live By Faith," TBN, December 19, 2003)
"Cash is king! The hundred fold works. 'If I give $50 you mean God will give me $5,000?' Yes! If you give $1000 in the offering this morning, will God give you $100,000 by tomorrow? Yes!" (Jesse Duplantis, "The Choke Hold," The Church Channel, January 24, 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," November, 2003)
"Did He heal in the Bible? Then why are you accepting that sickness? Why are you content to live with it?"
(Jesse Duplantis, "Never Fight An Enemy That Is Already Defeated," July 2003)
"God has told us to believe Him for a Citation X, an 18 million dollar corporate jet with the speed and fuel capacity to fly anywhere in the world. How will this come to pass? God has promised us that He will call upon 18,000 JDM Covenant Partners and friends around the world to sow a seed of $1000 to this project. If you would like to be one of the 18,000 to sow a seed of $1000 for the Citation X, we want to hear from you!" (Jesse Duplantis, "Getting Your Pie In The Sky and Eating It Too," November, 2003)
