The false Word of Faith teachers are showing their bad fruit.
Can this be God’s way of showing false teachers to the church? On March 29th, Word of Faith teacher, Kenneth Copeland, stated:
“In the Name of Jesus, standing in the office of the prophet of God, I execute judgment on you COVID-19. I execute judgment on you, Satan, you destroyer, you killer. You get out. I break your power. You get off this nation. I demand judgment on you. I demand. I demand. “I demand a vaccination to come immediately. I call you done. I call you gone. You come down from your place of authority, destroyer. You come down and you crawl on your belly like God commanded you when He put His foot on your head in the Garden of Eden. You will destroy through COVID-19 no more. ‘It is finished! It is over! And the United States of America is healed and well again,’ saith the mighty Spirit called Peace, who is also the Prince of War, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Copeland’s left-side “puppet” says to him, “COVID 19 has ceased to exist.”
Then Copeland responds with, “At exactly 12 noon on the 29th day of March.” They break out into praise, saying thank you Jesus “it’s over”!
Sounds like a child’s tantrum. No matter how loud he sounds, it is a whisper in God’s ears; and he does not teach what is in the Bible (God did not put his foot on Satan’s head in the garden.)
Look at the COVID 19 maps to see if it is over as Copeland pronounced in the name of the Lord. It’s not over, and this man has once again brought shame to the name of the Savior.
How is this any different than what Copeland said at another church at another time previously right here in Hawaii (20 years ago) that did not come true either. The fact is, he has a perfect record—of false prophecies:
“We are going to agree together tonight that God’s will be carried out. And that whosoever is elected as president of the United States and whomsoever is elected in the congress of the United States, WILL HEAR AND OBEY THE VOICE OF GOD ALMIGHTY FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS IN THIS NATION.”… WE BIND YOU SATAN in the name of Jesus. This nation doesn’t belong to you, it never has and never will. In the name of Jesus, YOU COME DOWN from your place of authority and you crawl in the dust like God told you to in the Garden of Eden.” (Copeland on August 18, 1996 at a Word of life Church, http://www.letusreason.org/Wf19.htm)
Copeland is doing exactly what the Bible says not to do on fallen angels (read Jude). He is Word of Life’s spiritual father; he came to dedicate their new building on Dec. 2, 2001. At a Word of Life Christian Center dedication celebration service in Honolulu Hawaii on Dec. 2, 2001, Copeland gave a “prophetic utterance”:
“But There are going to be multiplied millions upon millions. There’s going to be close to a billion people that have been trapped in that religion, that over the next few months are gonna to come into the kingdom of God. That’s gonna happen, you watch and see what I’m telling you (cheering) Because it’s been . . . I’m telling you Satan’s fat is in the fire he pushed it over the line, and God has moved. . . . I’d to get in there and walk around a while but I don’t have the time but I can tell you this, that thing has come to an end, it’s over, I’m talking about Islam and every, all that that stands for. That’s over with. ”
Benny Hinn—talking about COVID-19 claiming “those who abide in Him no plague will come, he who dwelleth in the secret place of the most high . . . you said lord he that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high, who abides in your shadow no evil shall befall them, no plague will ever come nigh their home. That’s your promise. I pray you will give assurance to your people in this hour now Lord. We pray and agree because you said when two agree you will do it. . . . This virus will die, it will die. I declare in the name of Jesus no plague shall come near you, I speak it now, and establish it in this atmosphere in Jesus name.” (No Plague Shall Come Near You.” London Ministry Conference March 14, 2020)
Of course, this virus will eventually fade (not die) like all others. But to guarantee this to those attendees is absolutely shameful and dangerous.
Gloria Copeland also says there is no flu season
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcNPjUraXrA&feature=youtu.be), that we are healed.
The Word of Faith teachers are deluded, and you should now be able see how dangerous they really are. Flee from the false prophets while there is time. Do you want to be a goat or a sheep under the Lord? Time to see it for what it is and choose.

The Fake prophets dishonor our lord. I have friends that have hardened their hearts towards those rich false fake prophets. We pray for wisdom when we speak to friends about salvation. This dispensation of grace is coming to a close. Even so come Lord Jesus!
Anne, I read at an online article that Mike Pence was raised Catholic, then left that (false) religion, was born again. That’s what I read and that’s what I was referring to.
Friends of mine used to live in the state where he was governor, they are strong born-again Christians, and they were thrilled that he became our VP. They said that he was a wonderful governor due to his faith.
Since when was Pence born again? I did research and heard his testimony in which he said he got saved at a rock concert. He claim to be a Evangelical Catholic. All our dear leaders say they are Christians.
I hear you and your concerns, just wanted to point out the fact that VP Mike Pence is no longer a Catholic — he was born again.
I understand ALL the rest and am praying daily. I realize that H. Clinton would have been even (far) worse. {sigh}
That was in response to Charles’ comment downthread.

“2nd cor 11-13 for such are false apostles, decetiful workers transforming themselves into apostles of

into an angel of light.

Jesus is so clear in His Word.
Yet, I thought of false prophets, false workers, and wolves as being “out there somewhere,” not in my church.
My church was filled with folks I liked, respected, cared about, laughed and shared good times with, and who cared about me.
When I decided to APPLY the Scriptures you reference, along with1 John 4:1, to my “right here / right now” life, I was shocked — radically.
While I am at it . . .
Further . . .
To my knowledge, neither has God supplied anyone with a spiritual director, a spirit guide, an ascended master, a highly evolved extraterrestrial being, a pedophile priest or pastor, a prophet who contradicts God’s Word (the Bible), a medium (spirit channeler), a diviner – nor utensils for divination, a necromancer, a soothsayer, a homosexual priest or pastor, a sorcerer / witch / wizard, an idol, nor a “window into heaven” icon.
just sayin’ . . .
We know that we are of God, and the whole world is in the power of the evil one.
1 John 5:19
As far as I can discern (thankful for on-going correction and deeper insight from God), our adversary vents his acrimonious spewage via both his left-handed and right-handed paths of falsehood.
What I did not get in a former church was that members (and leaders) who do not actually have the indwelling Holy Spirit CANNOT, (as in – lack the capability to), live as if they do.
No wonder they did not “get me,” and I kept bumping heads with them.
In reality, we were living in two distinctly different kingdoms.
I am working at adjusting my unrealistic expectations for people who are truly without God’s grace, power, and truth in their lives.
The unspiritual [person] does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:15
As far as I can discern, God has never supplied a “spiritual adviser” to anyone. The term toggles my red flag alert to the false light of counterfeit spirituality.
1 Corinthians 12 explains extraordinary, God-given gifts which nourish the Body of Believers to build ourselves up in love.
A small group (around 5 or so) of grounded believers addressing a given topic or question from God’s Word is a better source of godly wisdom and counsel than a “spiritual adviser.”
Does it not bother you that all these ‘word faith prophets’ are the ones surrounding our president? Does it not bother you that Norman Vincent Peale, a 33 degree free mason was our president’s pastor? We railed about Obama’s pastor, what about Trumps? What about his spiritual advisor which HE chose, Paula White (Rev. 2:20)? What about our presidents appointments of many Jesuits and Roman Catholics? What about the supreme court justice he chose Georgetown educated, Jesuit Bret Kavanaugh, making our supreme court mostly Catholic/Jesuit. And his Catholic Vice president Pence who is involved with the 2 scientists Fauci and Birx and Gates, and Bono, And George Soros. The woman truly rides the beast Rev. 17. Look who else is involved in all this mess: https://www.amazon.com/QAnon-1000-Years-Peace-Destroying-ebook/dp/B07R671BSW/ref=pd_sbsd_14_3/131-5332983-6052023?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07R671BSW&pd_rd_r=d124b63a-54d6-4b18-bdfa-cbd3c602e641&pd_rd_w=0q2Nl&pd_rd_wg=omypG&pf_rd_p=19c1c1b6-5915-41d4-a7b6-21d99360350b&pf_rd_r=SEFXMRWADY8AKSHKNVBD&psc=1&refRID=SEFXMRWADY8AKSHKNVBD who taken America by storm. This Q guy has been mentioned everywhere by commenters on conservative websites and Christian alike-even non Christian.
Does anyone else remember that David Wilkerson called such prophets “pillow prophets”? What he meant by that was that they prophesied “positive” words which were not from the Lord but were meant to appease the hearers (the Lord through Paul warned of “itching ears” in His Word”, but they were not from the Lord — neither the prophets nor the prophesies.
Jeremiah was mentioned here recently. In his day, when he was faithfully declaring the word of the Lord to unfaithful Israel that judgment was coming, indeed was at the door, a false prophet came against him (and the Lord), calling Jeremiah a liar and prophesying GOOD things to come. Sound familiar?
I remember years ago a “prophecy class” I did not attend, but a friend did. She told me that they were told they could only prophesy “good” things. Ah yes, they were in training to be pillow prophets.
There were times the Lord God DID prophesy good things to His people. He is not all gloom and doom, not at all. Whatever His people need, He is faithful and just to provide it. He is the perfect balance — His love includes discipline (see Hebrews 12). A lot of Christians forget that it is Jesus who will judge everyone, who will separate the sheep from the goats. Everyone needs to see Him as He really is.
This IS what’s going on in the NAR churches! Unfortunately, I’ve tuned into some online services to see their declaring and decreeing against the virus plus a few ‘I see someone’s right nerve in the left leg, no.. maybe the right leg being cured and the problem in someone’s Larynx healed’ all the while looking at their iPhone! Hook, line and sinker the multitudes believe! I pray for the mud to be cleansed from the eyes of those duped into believing heresy and following false teachers, and doing so joyfully! God said He would send a strong delusion so that those would believe the lie. Prophecy fulfilled!
Lord have mercy!
It is frustrating to continually see these false prophets on t.v. I suppose the personalities with the most money can buy more time on t.v., while good Bible-based programs are omitted whenever there is a marathon.
