"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: JOYCE MEYER
UNBIBLICAL STATEMENTS FROM JOYCE MEYER
"There is no hope of anyone going to heaven unless they believe this truth I am presenting. You cannot go to heaven unless you believe with all your heart that Jesus took your place in hell." (Joyce Meyer, "The Most Important Decision You Will Ever Make," Page 37)
"Words are containers for power." (Joyce Meyer, "The Name, The Word, The Blood," Page 37)
"You got a storage bin, a storage locker in heaven that has a lot of stuff in it that needs to be claimed."
(Joyce Meyer, "What Does Your Future Hold," May 21, 2004)
"Did you know that you can change the very course of your life by the type of words you speak?"
(Joyce Meyer, Enjoying Everyday Life Magazine, "Think Before You Speak," May 2004)
"But you cannot throw out positive confession, and you cannot throw out all the faith teachers, and you cannot throw out positive thinking. And you cannot get rid of those kinds of things because they're in the Bible from end of it to the other." / "We need to have faith filled words going out of our mouth." (PFO Quarterly Journal, April-June 2002, Pages 6,14)
"Jesus said, 'It is finished'. And He meant the Old Covenant. The job He had to do was just getting started. He really did the job the three days and nights that He was in hell. That's where the job was done". / "He was pronounced guilty on the cross but He paid the price in hell. / "All the hosts of hell was [sic] upon Him. Upon Him. They got on Him. They got Him down in the floor and got on Him. And they were laughing and mocking." / "Sunday morning, here comes the Son. Sunday morning, God gets Himself together. Ho, hoooo. Justice has been met, somehow the thing's been taken care of. And ol' God gets His voice together and He hollers out three words and they go roaring through the universe and entering the gates of hell. He said, 'It is enough! It is enough!" (Joyce Meyer, From the tape: "From the Cross to the Throne.")
"During that time He entered hell, where you and I deserved to go (legally) because of our sin...He paid the price there.…no plan was too extreme...Jesus paid on the cross and in hell….God rose up from His throne and said to demon powers tormenting the sinless Son of God, "Let Him go". Then the resurrection power of Almighty God went through hell and filled Jesus...He was resurrected from the dead the first born-again man." (Joyce Meyer, "The Most Important Decision You Will Ever Make: A Complete And Thorough Understanding Of What It Means To Be Born Again," 1991, pages 35-36)
