The ministry earns annually 21 million in donations alone. He has a staff of 250 that works like a well oiled corporate machine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4. Best known for his ministry of empowerment to the poor (especially women) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5. Grammy award winner. Received Dove nominations for his Gospel Albums. Post Reply

I certainly believe that Christianity is right, but when it comes down to the final test--who goes and who doesn't go--Jesus said, Other sheep have I who are not of this fold. Them also must I bring. I'll let Him identify who those sheep are and I stay out of the conversation." Post Reply

View Profile History	Bishop TD Jakes Posted : 25 May, 2011 07:41 AM A question for thought. Did Paul get rich on donations or making tents. He said to pay the worker his value. Paul never said to seek riches in this world as they pass away. I standard house is good enough for me.If one has so many houses why did they not use that money for the cause of Christ. How many could have been fed by it? Prevented from starving? These super pastors concern me. They seem only to build nice homes and have nice cars. Why not a regular home and a normal car? Just a passing thought. As I do not follow men, bur Jesus. This was written by someone whose umemploment ran out last December and has no income. I do not ask for donations!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no income, pennyless. I rest my case. Post Reply
View Profile History	Bishop TD Jakes Posted : 25 May, 2011 08:06 AM I completely agree with you, Dennis. These mega church preachers are of concern. Wouldn't it be wonderful if TD Jakes would share just a little of his wealth with you? My dad once wrote to a mega preacher to ask for help. He received a letter back saying they didn't donate to the private sector and told him to have faith to get his needs met. He has gone on to be with the Lord now and I'm sure the mansion he has in heaven Far Outshines the ones Jakes has here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ pj, you seem to be going round in circles, brother. Maybe I should re-post the song et posted about you! I still love you. Remember how I was often mocked for defending you? Post Reply
riveroflife1 View Profile History	Bishop TD Jakes Posted : 25 May, 2011 09:52 AM There are sooo many preachers that are in the public eye and they ALL fall short. We can criticize and speculate but the truth is...people get touched under their ministry. If they are not stewarding the finances that comes in appropriately, God will take it away, because He will NOT be mocked. I know how you feel about Benny Hinns ministry as well and honestly, again, I know 3 people that traveled with him on healing crusades, ministered under his leadership and went to his healing school. Despite the slander and skepticism, God moves in those meetings. God moves in TD Jakes meetings, books and whatever else he does. If lives are being touched by God under these men, why do we slander? I can pick apart ALL the televangelists and I used to, but how many people do you think get saved watching the shows? LOTS. Do I agree with everything that is being said, heck NO, do I agree with how they are dividing up the finances, probably not BUT they answer to God, not me. I do think it's important that they are accountable to the public in regard to the finances but for me personally, I will keep my eyes on the Lord because He is the one who saves. Post Reply

View Profile History	Bishop TD Jakes Posted : 25 May, 2011 10:40 AM Hey river! :) :waving: I have a sincere question. I promise, I am not trying to slander or defile or cause any strife; I sincerely do not understand and I would like to. You said you know people that have been to Benny Hinn's healing school. How is that taught? I've always thought healing was a gift so I guess I assumed it couldn't be taught. God has used me to make someone's heart start beating again, but I don't have the gift of healing. He just used me for His purpose. Am I making any sense? :) Post Reply
