I really do not think that these preachers are hiding anything on purpose. Have you considered that maybe they hide what God has given them from the eye of the public becuase people talk about them and slander them because they do have million dollar homes and expensive cars? How do you know that they are not telling their decans and other church officials and even church members about what they have? I do not think these preachers are stealing from people and I do not think they have anything to hide. How does anyone know how much of their own money they give into their own ministry and into the outreach they do. I do go to a church that we believe in prosperity and I think what people is getting wrong is that you do have to live right and seek God face and be humble in all of your ways. If you look at the background of many of these preachers they come from very poor and broken pasts. I truely believe that God has raised them up for such a time like this when they are going into countries that has never heared the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And I guarentee you that if you was to go and look through their records of their money and how it is spent, most of it would be in the Kingdom of God. I do not critize them for what they have but I respect them for the spirit that lives on the inside of them. And you know they do not just talk about money but they are winning millions apon millions for Jesus. So why can we not rejoice for all of the things they are doing right for God and all of the souls instead of bashing them for all of the things they have. To be completely honest its none of the publics business how they spend their money, we dont ask Christians who are sitting on the church pews how they spend their money and we dont ask the ones that are living in nice houses and driving nice cars and have way more money than they allow people to know how they are spending their money. Why dont we go ask Brittany Spears and Snoop Dog and the man over the Playboy Bunnies how they spend their money and I can guarantee that it is all for themselves and not all for the the Kingdom of God.

"Seek you first the kingdom of God and all of these things shall be added unto you" makes my very point if Christians will seek God then all of their spiritual, mental and physical needs as well as wants will be given to them by God. I believe these ministers are seeking the kingdom of God. They all started out with nothing and without all of these material things, but as they sought after God and all of him they recieved power and prosperity. Why would God want his children to do without when people who are not even Christians and do not even profess to be have expensive things? "I have never seen his rightous forsaken nor his seed begging for bread." Maybe thats why we are not seeing an explosion and revival of Gods glory revealed in this world, because no one wants to give their life to God because Christians think they have to be broke and not have anything. "If you give good gifts until your children then how much more should your HEAVENLY FATHER GIVE good gifts unto you." Its not a sin to have nice things and have expensive things and want for nothing in your life as long as God is number one and he gets all of the glory and praise for all that he has given unto you. "Let no man say that he hath made me rich for it was the Lord who maketh me rich." Heaven has streets of gold and walls of Jasper and Christians desire with their whole heart to be their with him, so why should we not seek first the Kingdom of God and believe and except our hearts desires while we are on this earth. It takes money to go to other countries and give Bibles, food, etc. and let me tell you broke Christians cannot get that done because they only have enough for them and theirs. To be honest I think that is a bigger tragedy than these people having all this money and fine things. If God can feed the birds and all of the other animals then why should we worry about how we are going to pay our bills, put clothes on our children, give to the ministry of God, etc. I believe our jobs as Christians is to be Gods feet to go to other people and countries, we should be his voice to spread the gospel of Christ and how he loves them, we should be his hands to help pick up the hurting and to comfort them,etc. and I am sorry you cannot go to these places without money and even if it is close to your home you still have to put gas in your car to go to that person. There is a spiritual law of seed time and harvest. If you dont believe it then dont go sow your time at work all week and expect money on payday for that time that you sowed. "Give and it will be given unto you Press sown Shaken together and running over"

And by the way to recieve anything you have to BELIEVE by faith for it just like you believe by faith to get saved. The Bible says By his strips ye ARE healed and later goes on to say By his stripes ye WERE healed. And the Bible also states according to your FAITH shall it be given unto you PRESS DOWN SHAKEN TOGETHER AND RUNNING OVER shall men give unto YOUR busim.

These ministries do more for people in the area of feeding and sharing the love of God with them then most people. The Bible tells us that Jesus died so that we could have life more abundantly. And when Jesus rode on a donkey, they brought him one that had not been rode on before. And when Jesus was born they brought him francansense, gold and myrth. In those days that stuff was very expensive things and they brought him these things on camals. And when the soldiers crucified Jesus they were fighting over his garment because it had no seams in it so that meant that it was expensive, and if it wasnt expensive then why didnt they just tear it in half for all of them to have a piece or why did they fight over which of them was going to have it. So to say that Jesus was poor while he was on this earth is a deception. I have no problem with these ministers having nice things because the Bible says that God wishes above all things that you should PROSPER and be in health even as your soul does PROSPER! I would have a problem with this if they were just keeping money and stealing money but they are truely blessed and they help more over seas and in this country then anyone of the people who are critizing them for being blessed with material things.

Paula White: I'm Not Going to Draw Back

I truely think that Carman was without a doubt RIGHT about Paula White. I stand up and appaulade a woman who has went through everything she has and still gets up and is able to praise God without holding back. Most "Christains" now days cannot and will not praise God if everything isnt just right, or they just dont feel like it. And to be completely honest ITS NOT ANY OF ANYONES BUSINESS WHY THEIR MARRIAGE IS OVER, thats between them and God.
No one has even said anything about all of the women and men that her ministry has reached and changed their lives. But I really dont think some of you care, instead all you want to do is tear her down instead of lifting her up in your prayers. Their are modern day Prophets and I believe with everything in me Paula White is a Prophet. And the bible says how can we hear without a preacher.
