Fox News reports that heretics Gloria and Kenneth Copeland's daughter, Terri Pearsons, who is a "pastor" of a megachurch in Texas, has suffered an outbreak of measles with 21 being infected.
Her advice? Speak away the demon of measles? Have faith it will go away? That would be the typical WOF reponse. But it seems even Terri doesn't have that "gift" of "faith" that her father has. No, to cover herself and her "church" publicly (and perhaps to stave off the Department of Health) (and obviously realizing the fraud of the WOF's name-it-and-claim-it), she said,
"I would encourage you to do that. There's absolutely nothing wrong with doing that. Go do it. Go do it. Go do it. And go in faith," said Pearsons, whose father is televangelist Kenneth Copeland. But she added, if "you've got this covered in your household by faith and it crosses your heart of faith then don't go do it.""The main thing is stay in faith no matter what you do...." adding that the Old Testament is "full of precautionary measures."
What Kenneth Copeland has consistently taught:
Copeland translates his concept of covenant rights into what has been termed the "health and wealth" or "prosperity" message. "The basic principle of the Christian life is to know that God put our sin, sickness, disease, sorrow, grief, and poverty on Jesus at Calvary," he asserts. "For Him to put any of this on us now would be a miscarriage of justice."[83] ~Deception In the Church
What Gloria Copland, Pearson's mother, consistently has taught:
There is a medicine so powerful it can cure every sickness and disease known to man. It has no dangerous side effects. It is safe even in massive doses. And when taken daily according to directions, it can prevent illness altogether and keep you in vibrant health.
You
don't have to call your doctor to get it. You don't even have to drive to the
pharmacy. All you must do is reach for your Bible, open to Proverbs
4:20-24 and follow the instructions you find
there....
You
open your mouth and speak--not words of sickness and disease, discouragment and
despair, but words of healing and life, faith and hope. You follow the last step
of God's divine prescription and "Put away from thee a froward mouth, and
perverse lips put far from thee" (verse 24). In short, you speak the Words of
God and call yourself healed in Jesus' Name.
Some
people say faith will move mountains. But, the scriptural truth is, faith won't
even move a molehill for you unless you release it with the words of your
mouth.
~Gloria Copeland, Terri's mother
Pearsons' "church" is not a church because it fails the test of Scripture in structural order as God has commanded (no women leaders) and by doctrine. This statement of faith, for example, says they believe,as is the basic tenent of the WOF movement is that physical health is guaranteed in redemption:
"We believe in divine healing through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, and we believe that healing is included in the Redemption."
"We believe in divine healing through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, and we believe that healing is included in the Redemption."
In the WOF, one just has to have "enough" faith and speak forth your positive confession to make your own reality; to get what is your right (in this case, health) from God. Besides the unholy, arrogant attitude toward the thrice Holy and Sovereign God and reversing position and power of God and man, the most ironic thing is that even SHE couldn't 1) prophecy this plague upon her followers, and 2) doesn't have the faith to speak it away. Surely everyone there has the greatest desire to not want it, right? And yet she spoke forth a "negative" confession, showing doubt in her and her parents' own demonic doctrine of the false "gospel" of health guaranteed for all who have enough faith to be healed.
Simply put, this WOF leader and her demonic doctrine couldn't help her church.
Perhaps its time for those gullible fleshly people to wake up and see this. Perhaps this is God's hand--this plague or outbreak of measles---to show how utterly condemned this church is and how its leaders are leading them on the broad road to destruction, away from God.
