When you open up the link https://www.lakewoodchurch.com/ of
Lakewood Church, the fist page that pops up says in big letters, “Lakewood
Church Online Experience” next to it is a small button with the inscription
“find out more"
Bellow, you are greeted by Joel & Victoria Osteen with
the following statement,
“At Lakewood, we believe your best days are still out in
front of you. Whether you are joining us in person or online, we invite you to
experience our services and be a part of the Lakewood family. The Bible says
when you are planted in the house of the Lord you will flourish. Get ready to
step into a new level of your destiny!"
I call Lakewood Church the house of lord Satan because the
love of Money and the love of Self are its foundations.
When you click on the small button with the inscription
“find out more” the same page appears with a flashing donate button at the
bottom of the page, if you click on it, another page pops up with a large
“GIVE" button, followed by the following inscription below it, “Giving is
a biblical principal that when lived by, produces a rich harvest in our lives,”
and bellow are the following statements, SUPPORT LAKEWOOD "Thank you for
your support. Choose a fund to give towards and enter an amount for your gift.
Your giving is making a difference in this church, our community, and the
world.”
Joel Osteen believes that “GIVING IS A LIFESTYLE, Giving is
not limited to simply our finances; it’s a lifestyle. When we live with the
spirit of giving, when we give the Lord our tithes and our offerings, when we
give to those in need, when we give of our time, our love, our resources, we
are sowing seeds that God will make sure blossoms into a rich harvest! Not just
of financial blessings, but rich in all aspects of life. He’ll make sure the
right doors open, the right people come into your life, and the right breaks
are received.”
What applies to Motivational/Prosperity Christian Joel
Osteen applies to all the pulpit parasites and deceivers that worship money and
the trinity of Self. Eagerly, they will point out to you the Biblical
foundation for giving the tithe. They will tell you, when you bring the first
10 percent of your income to the storehouse (meaning to their bank accounts)
you put God first in your life. Tithing is an act of worship that expresses
your gratitude, faith, and love, but the truth of the matter is that the pulpit
parasites will hide from you the fact that Jesus Christ abolished the Old
Testament tithing, as indicated in Matthew 6: 24-34, “No-one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one
and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You
cannot serve both God and Money. “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your
life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is
not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life or a single cubit to
his height? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the
field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in
all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the
grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire,
will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry,
saying, `What shall we eat?’ or `What shall we drink?’ or `What shall we wear?’
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that
you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these
things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Obviously, Money and Self are Joel Osteen's foundation of
his ministry, not Jesus Christ, and the reason his net worth is 100 million
dollars, having been robbed of the truth Osteen believes that godliness is a
means to financial gain.
Actually, Osteen is another Motivational/ Prosperity
preacher disguised as a minister of the gospel. The better the people at
Lakewood Church feels, the larger their donations to Lakewood Church because
Osteen ministry is all about making people wealthy, and make them feel proud,
important, and successful.
The pew warming wimps join Lakewood Church because it is
socially advantageous, belonging to Lakewood Church is like belonging to a
Sport Team, a Political Party, or a Social Club, and Joel Osteen sees them as
prospective revenue, that is why Osteen welcomed and encouraged them with words
their itchy ears want to hear. Osteen will never condemn sin because he knows
if he does the place would empty out, instead Osteen will always say something
along these lines. “You are wonderful, you have royal blood flowing through
your veins, and you are sons and daughters of the King of Glory,” and so on.
That is why God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do
what ought not to be done, they are filled with every kind of wickedness, evil,
greed and depravity, they are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice,
they are gossips, slanderers, God haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful, and
they invent ways of doing evil. They are hypocrites of the first magnitude, the
one is looking to buy their way into heaven, and the other is obligating by
taking their money. They worship the trinity of self, of ME, MYSELF, and I,
they pretend to be ambassadors of peace, tolerant, agreeable and loving, but in
reality they don’t know that they are enemies of Jesus Christ who says in
Matthew 10: 34-36, “Do not suppose that I have
come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her
mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, a man's enemies will be
the members of his own household.”
Joel Osteen is a seasoned Motivational/Prosperity preacher
of high caliber, and his ultimate goal is to make people feel good by using any
number of Biblical stories, his own personal experiences, persuasive speeches,
and tactics to inspire and motivate the people into a desire to donate large
amounts of money to Lakewood Church, believing they please God. In other words,
many people believe they can buy their salvation, they say, ‘I am rich; I have
acquired wealth and do not need a thing, but they don’t realize that they are
wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
Besides, Money and Self are the
greatest attractions at Lakewood Church.
Joel Osteen tickles the ears of
the pew warming wimps of Lakewood Church with Self aggrandizing speeches such
as “Keep your joy” “No more distraction” “You are a masterpiece” “You are enough”
“There is greatness in you” “Get ready for overflow” “Don't settle for less” The pew warming wimps of Lakewood Church
loves to be pampered and exalted by Joel Osteen, and in return Joel Osteen
loves to take their money. It is not surprising that Satan worship and
immorality runs unrestrained in America.
Joel Osteen hides behind Jesus Christ in order to fleece the
pew warming wimps.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey Osteen said that
prospering is not just material things, it's peace in your mind, health in your
body and things like that. A belief that you are supposed to suffer more, and
be poor, and show your humility, I don't see the Bible that way, you know,
Jesus died, so we may enjoy an abundant life and can be a blessing to others. I
can’t be a blessing to people poor, broke and depressed, I don't feel good
about myself. I getup every morning and search my own heart and say God I'm
doing what you want me to do? I feel that if I can feel pure and feel good
before God I don’t have to, you know, I always want to listen to people and
receive good criticism, but I just feel I don't have to answer to them, I have
to answer to God, so I just try to stay focus on what God call me to do.
Joel, Jesus didn’t die, so we may enjoy an abundant life and
can be a blessing to others.
Jesus went through the agony of the cross in order to pay
for our sin committed by our ancestors in the Garden of Eden by eating from the
fruit God forbade them to eat, resulting in men’s eternal separation from God. Jesus Christ did not come to earth to institute a religious
organization or restore the physical nation of Israel. Jesus Christ come down
to earth to restore the personal relationship lost in the Garden of Eden that
God enjoyed with man, the crowning glory of His creation through the
forgiveness of sin.
After the resurrection of Christ, God
came down from heaven to occupy his new Temple, located in the hearts of those
who love Him by keeping His Commandments, as indicated by Jesus Christ in John
14:23, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my
teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home
with him” and as indicated by Jesus Christ in John 4:19-24, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will
worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do
not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now
come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for
they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers
must worship in spirit and in truth.”
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived
and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and
envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and
love of God our Savior appeared, Jesus Christ saved us, not
because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He
saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy
Spirit whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our
Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become
heirs having the hope of eternal life.
It is by grace we have been saved, through faith,
and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so
that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Joel, you don’t realize it, but you are like a Judas goat
that leads the sheep to the slaughter. Obviously, you found the goose that lays
the golden eggs by leading the pew warming wimps of Lakewood Church to
perdition, and you don’t want to give up the goose by disclosing the truth of
the gospel. The fact is that if you begin to preach the truths of the gospel to
the pew warming wimps, Lakewood Church would empty out, and you would be the
only one left standing there. However, if you do preach from the gospel of
Jesus Christ, you would save yourself, and multitudes of others.
Ophra
Winfrey asked Osteen, are there many paths to get to the one God? Osteen
replied, well I believe Ophra that Jesus is the way to the one God, but I
believe there are many paths to Jesus, you don’t know how Jesus would reveal
himself to somebody, I’m not to exclude people, Jesus can reveal himself to
anybody.” Jesus is the only path to God the Father as indicated by Jesus Christ
in John 14:6, “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me.” You don’t need to be a genius to understand
the words, “No one comes to the Father except through
me." Meaning, there is only one way to God the Father, and that way
is Jesus Christ. And as indicated by Jesus in Revelation
3:20, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If
anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and
he with me.”
Osteen said in one of his, make you feel good talks, God is
not in the condemning business He is the restoration business. However, that's
not what Jesus Christ says in John 3:18, “Whoever
believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned
already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” Obviously,
Osteen desire to be popular and wealthy is much stronger than the truths found
in the gospel of Christ.
Joel
Osteen, you must repent, otherwise, you will end up in the lake of fire where
their worm doesn’t die and the fire is never quenched as indicated by Jesus
Christ in Revelation 21:6-8, "He said to me:
“It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him
who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water
of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he
will be my son. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the
sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars,
their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second
death.”
An interviewer asked Osteen, do you feel like you are
cheating people by not telling them about the hell part? Osteen, no I really don’t because is a
different approach; you know it is not all fire and brimstone, I say most
people are beating down enough by life, they are already feeling guilty enough
raising the kids you know there are all kinds of reason, I want them to come to
Lakewood and be part of our meetings and be lifted up and say I may not be
perfect but I’m moving forward I'm doing better, I think that motivate you to
do better.
Osteen don’t want to tell people about hell because he has a
different approach since Osteen preaches the gospel according to me, which it
is geared to please not only the pew warming wimps of Lakewood Church, but the
devil as well.
Joel,
take heed to what Jesus Christ says in Matthew 10:28, “Do
not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be
afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”
Larry King asked Osteen, we had ministers who said, your
record don’t count you either believe in Christ or you don't, if you believe in
Christ you are going to heaven, and if you don’t, no matter what you have done
in your life you ain’t? Osteen, well, I don't know is probably a balance
between you have to believe Christ I think that if you know Christ in God you
will have some good works I think it is a cop out to say I’m not a Christian
but I never do anything. King, what is you Jewish or Muslim doesn't accept
Christ at all? Osteen, no, I'm very careful to say who would and who wouldn't
go to heaven. King, do you believe they have to believe in Christ? Osteen, I
don’t know if I believe they are wrong I believe here is what the Bible teaches
and from the Christian faith this is what I believe that only God can judge a
person’s heart. I spent a lot of time in India with my father, and I don't know
about their religion, I know that they love God I have seen their sincerity, so
I don't know for me and what the Bible teaches I want to have a relationship
with Jesus.
Instead
of answering Larry King’s questions according to what Jesus says in the
gospels, Osteen answered according to his self centered gospel of doom, I
don’t, I think, I am, I believe, I know, I want, I may not…I, I, I, I, I….
Osteen wants to be in good terms with anyone, including God and the devil, that
is why he suppresses the gospel because he hates to make waves and upset
anyone, and more so, he hates to upset the pew warming wimps of Lakewood Church
the source of his income. Actually, Osteen is a men pleaser. However, as a
minister of the gospel Osteen failed miserably to obey the great commission,
especially the part where Jesus says, “and teaching
them to obey everything I have commanded you.” found in Matthew 28:18-20, “Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven
and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age”
Joel Osteen doesn’t understand that the church is the voice,
the eyes, the hands, and the feet of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. However,
Joel Osteen and the pew warming wimps of Lakewood Church stand by idly in the
presence of evil, all wrapped up in the trinity of self, instead of speaking up
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ against all US Government legalizes
abominations, such as Abortion, Sodomy, Same Sex Marriage, and Child
Prostitution legalized in California by Governor Jerry Brown by signing Senate
Bill 1322 into law on September 2016, and becoming effective on Sunday, January
1, 2017, “barring law enforcement from arresting sex workers who are under the
age of 18 for soliciting or engaging in prostitution, or loitering with the
intent to do so.”
See here,
Remember what Jesus says in Mark 8:38, “If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this
adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of
them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
Lakewood Church is actually another temple of doom devoid of
the Holy Spirit being led by Judas Goat, Joel Osteen on the wide road that
leads to destruction, instead of being on the narrow road of Jesus Christ
gospel that leads to life, as indicates by Jesus Christ in Matthew
7:13-14, “Enter through the narrow gate. For
wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many
enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to
life, and only a few find it.”
Besides,
no one who is spiritually dead can come to Christ unless God enables them or
quicken their spirit as indicated by Jesus Christ in John 6:44-51, “No-one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws
him, and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the Prophets,
`They will all be taught by God.’ [Isaiah 54:13] Everyone who listens to the
Father and learns from him comes to me. No-one has seen the Father except the
one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. I tell you the truth, he who
believes has everlasting life. I am the bread of life. Your forefathers ate the
manna in the desert, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from
heaven, which a man may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down
from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is
my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
Joel,
now you and your clients should be able to see that Jesus Christ is the center
of the Universe, and the one you, and the pew warming wimps of Lakewood Church
should be following, and not yourselves or your possessions, which will pass
away, but your soul will either live in Heaven with God or will be tormented in
hell forever, as indicated by Jesus Christ in Matthew 16:24-27, “Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come
after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever
wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will
find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet
forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son
of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will
reward each person according to what he has done.
LISTEN, JOEL OSTEEN AND THE PEW WORMING WIMPS OF LAKEWOOD
CHURCH, YOU MUST REPENT OF YOUR SIN, AND TURN TO JESUS CHRIST WITH ALL YOUR
HEARTS BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T, ONE DAY YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF PROSTRATED IN FRONT
OF THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, AND HE WILL SAY TO YOU,
“Not everyone who says to me,
`Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will
of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, `Lord, Lord,
did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform
many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, `I never knew you. Away from me,
you evildoers!’
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them
into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came
down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it
did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears
these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man
who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the
winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Matthew
7:21-27
Amen!!!
