False Teacher And Gospel Pimp Paula White Now Says That God Has ‘Elevated Her To An Apostle’ So That She Can ‘Train Pastors’ For The Ministry
Paula White will now move to the “apostolic overseer” role at the church, as she believes that governance and “pastoring pastors” are her calling in life.
Controversial televangelist Paula White, who serves as a spiritual advisor to President Trump, announced on May 5 that she has transferred the pastoral leadership of New Destiny Christian Center to her son and his wife — which has also been renamed Destiny City. She outlined that she will now move to the “apostolic overseer” role at the church, as she believes that governance and “pastoring pastors” are her calling in life.
There are your run-of-the-mill, greedy-for-lucre crooked televangelists like Kenneth Copeland and Jesse Duplantis, laughable frauds like Benny Hinn that are so bad you cannot imagine that anyone could take them seriously, and a whole assortment of Laodicean gospel crooks of all shapes, sizes, genders and colors. When you arrive at the bottom of the barrel, you meet gospel pimp Paula White.
“For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.” Acts 20:29-31 (KJV)
Paula White had one goal in life, to fleece her flock and become wealthy, and her desire for money was so strong it nearly derailed her career. We told you in previous articles of her ‘sermons’ where she tells her deceived followers to send her ‘one month of their salary‘ if they want to ‘honor God’, and they did. Prior to that she taught the ‘Lazarus Seed’ heresy where she tells you to send her $1,144 to fulfill John 11:44, you can see that video below. Watch as much as you can stomach. Her career as a gospel pimp wasn’t doing so well, and the end seemed in sight until one day destiny came knocking on her door.
In a series of events too incredible to believe, greedy gospel pimp Paula White became the ‘spiritual advisor‘ to President Donald Trump, and a whole new career for her was born. Now White had the things she had always craved, access to raw power and lots and lots of money. She also claims that she ‘led Trump to Christ’ but there is no evidence that anything like that has ever taken place.
So how do you top becoming spiritual advisor to the president of the United States? Easy, you become an apostle! Only in the burnt out mind and soul of a Charismatic fraud could this level of Laodicean chicanery ever come to pass. Not only does the bible forbid female pastors, the office of the apostle closed 1,900 years ago with the death of the last apostle, John. But if you think the nonsense is stopping, you’re quite mistaken. Her son, the newly appointed ‘pastor’ Brad has a message for anyone who will not get in line and support his mom, Apostle Paula, but brace yourself. It’s a doozy!
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1,2 (KJV)
As Paula White steps into her role as ‘apostolic overseer’, she has appointed her son Brad and his wife Rachel as ‘pastors’ of New Destiny ‘church’, and Pastor Brad has a message for everyone. Misapplying Genesis 12:3, God’s promise to Abraham, and heretically transferring it to Paula White, ‘Pastor’ Brad said that everyone who ‘blesses’ his mom Paula White will ‘be blessed’, and everyone who ‘curses’ his mom will ‘be cursed’. What utter nonsense, what blasphemy and perversion of the word of God!
“The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?” Jeremiah 5:31 (KJV)
But before we go, know this. All this end times heresy and lunacy could not be possible without the loyal and enduring support of the thousands of deceived followers of Paula White. If you are a member of the New Destiny Christian Center and support this mess, God will hold you accountable for financing this gross end times deception. According to the bible, Paula White is not a pastor, she is not a prophet, she is not an apostle, and she does not preach the truth.
Paula White Transfers Church Leadership to Son, Claims ‘My Call Is to Govern’ as She Moves to ‘Apostolic Overseer’ Role
FROM CHRISTIAN NEWS: White had taken the pastorate at New Destiny Christian Center following the 2011 death of then-leader Zachery Tims, who according to reports, was found dead in a New York City hotel room due to “acute intoxication by the combined effects of cocaine and heroin.”
She told the congregation last Sunday that Tims, a longtime friend, had called her in 2005 and gave a personal prophecy that “wouldn’t make sense [then] … but it would make sense in 2019.” She said that she knew when she took the leadership role at New Destiny that it was only for a season.
“I knew that I wasn’t taking us into the promised land. … To everything there is a time,” White stated.
She also postulated that the Lord more recently told her that the time was right for the next step, which includes installing her son, Brad Knight, and his wife, Rachel, as lead pastors over the church.
“The Lord spoke to me very clearly and said, ‘If you miss this moment, you’ll delay things. Do not miss this moment,’ White claimed. “So, today I am officially enstating Pastor Brad and Pastor Rachel as the senior pastors over City of Destiny.”
White said that she would serve in an “apostolic overseer” capacity, adding that the word “apostolic” can be misunderstood, and she is therefore not completely comfortable with the word. “I believe that my call is to be that, to govern. I believe it’s that, to church plant. I believe it’s that, to pastor pastors,” she remarked.
“As oversight pastor, I believe for 3,000 church plants. I believe that City of Destiny will have 3,000,” White continued. “I will continue with Paula White Ministries. If Pastor Brad asks me, I will preach for him as many times as he asks me to preach.”
White said that City of Destiny will also be launching a university, as well as a performing arts center, and that $155 million is “coming in” to build the facilities. She stated that she believes that the building projects will transpire quickly.
“The only thing that would get upset about anything is your flesh,” she stated. “So, anyone who’s spiritual, you just took a leap, like quantum, because you were like, ‘thank goodness.’ Because the worst thing is our destiny being held up, and your destiny just got released because God just elevated you to a new position.”
“It’s going to blow people’s mind. And God’s about to shine the light. And all you have to do is have half of a spiritual eye,” she told those gathered.
Knight, in praising his mother, said that he feels sad for those who are not understanding of White.
“I understand that God has favored you, that those who bless you will be blessed. Those who curse you will be cursed,” he asserted. “And I’m thankful that despite the fact that you’re Paula White … you have the humility and the ability to hear God enough to look toward succession, and that’s very, very rare.”
“You truly are an apostle, and the quicker that people that realize that, the quicker they realize that God has granted you favor and authority — and unique favor and authority, the better off that they’ll be,” he stated.
As previously reported, White considers herself a life coach, authoring books such as “The Ten Commandments of Health and Wellness,” “Simple Suggestions for a Sensational Life,” “I Don’t Get Wholeness, That’s the Problem — Making Relationships Work” and “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not.” She also serves as the chair of President Trump’s Evangelical Advisory Board.
White has been married three times, with her first marriage being to Dean Knight, who she married as a teenager. In 2007, White divorced her second husband, Randy White of Without Walls International Church in stating that their lives were going in two different directions.
In 2015, she married Journey rocker Jonathan Cain, known for the secular hits “Don’t Stop Believin,’” “When You Love a Woman” and “Who’s Crying Now.” Cain has likewise been married two other times.
Paula White drew controversy last year when she urged followers to give a “first fruits” offering of a day, week, or month’s wages, and said that there were consequences for not being obedient to the Lord.
“We are demanding life to your purpose,” she declared. “And with obedience to this first fruits instruction, which is putting God first now, your purpose, your year, your prosperity, and your power will have life and be resurrected!”
“When you apply this, everything comes in divine alignment for His plan and promises for you. When you don’t honor it, whether through ignorance or direct disobedience, there are consequences,” White also warned.
Following media reports about the matter, staff revised language on White’s website to remove any reference to a “day, week or month’s” wages, as well as text about “consequences.” READ MORE
Paula White Goes ‘Easter Pimpin’ For Your Generous Gift Of A Thousand Dollars Or More
Nothing says Easter like begging for money from gullible, greedy Christians who think that if they somehow give large piles of money to the Laodicean false preachers and teachers, that God will ‘send them a blessing’ and give them piles of money, too. But guess what? It doesn’t work that way. Not even close. And when it comes to ‘holy begging’ for your ‘faith seed’, Paula White can pimp it out like few others can.
Now The End Begins is your front line defense against the rising tide of darkness in the last days before the Rapture of the Church

NTEB RADIO BIBLE STUDY: The Main Differences Between Biblical Zionism And The Counterfeit Found Within The Zionism Of US Christian Nationalism
Biblical Zionism Is Rooted In God’s Covenant With Israel, Christian Nationalist Zionism Is Rooted In Man’s Lust For Earthly Rule
Biblical Zionism is the King James Bible position that God is not finished with Israel, that the covenants He made with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David have not been cancelled, transferred to the Church, or reassigned to any Gentile nation. Israel’s return to the land is not a political accident, a diplomatic novelty, or a conservative talking point. It is a prophetic marker in the end-times timeline, showing us that the same God who scattered the Jews for their unbelief is the same God who has preserved them for their coming national restoration.
“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” Romans 11:25 (KJB)
On this episode of Rightly Dividing, Christian Nationalist Zionism is what happens when support for Israel is taken out of the rightly divided Scriptures and fused with political dominion, national pride, state power, and the fantasy that America, or any other Gentile nation, can somehow become the instrument of the kingdom before the King returns. It uses the language of Zion while chasing the machinery of Babylon. It waves the flag, quotes the prophets, invokes Jerusalem, and then attempts to turn Bible prophecy into a campaign platform. The Bible believer must be able to discern the difference. We stand with Israel because God told Abraham, “I will bless them that bless thee,” but we do not bow down to the modern state, worship politicians, or pretend that earthly government can bring in the kingdom of heaven. Biblical Zionism looks for Jesus Christ to return and restore Israel at the Second Advent. Christian Nationalist Zionism looks to ballots, banners, armies, and courts to build what only the Lord Himself can establish. One is Bible prophecy. The other is political counterfeit. Tonight we compare the two to see which one is correct.

These programs would not be possible without your generous support. Listen to just a few of the recent comments we have gotten:
- I thanked God for sending to your website in 2015 , I live in the South of France near Nice and let me tell you here there isn’t any Bible Believing church at all, the sad reality of France is that is full of freemasons and Muslims. You came to me at the time I was going to take my own life because of my job. You’re anointed person and I pray for you, family and ministry because you’re a blessing to all of us. May God bless you always. I know I’ll meet you in heaven one day. Lots of Love from your sister in Christ, Paula.
- “Hi Geoffrey and staff, Today is my one year anniversary that I got saved on your podcast! I am now a KJB only, I threw away my other two versions I had. I was shocked to learn of the differences and how the new versions twist the words of God, and dilute the message at best. Thank you for the fabulous bible education and fire for the Lord. I donate on your website throughout the year. Thanks for all that you do.” Donna
- “I have been reading on NTEB for about 5 years and listening as I can to your services. If I could list the encouragement, the doctrines, the awareness of what is coming (our blessed hope) but also the last days culture in which I live that you have taught me, this email wouldn’t fit in this letter. Because of you, I am a stronger more equipped soldier for Jesus Christ. Thank you sir for you, your ministry in my life. Faithful to the end because He lives in me.” Ruthie Dennis
- “My name is Carl N from Mumbai, India. My wife Andrea and I have been ardent listeners of your Bible Study and news update podcasts from the very start of the lockdown last year. In fact we make it a point to share these links with our family and friends… many times getting into trouble, as the truth upsets people. We cannot even begin to tell you how this has changed our lives and walk with the Lord. Thank you so much for what you’ve been doing for the Kingdom!! We’ve even switched Bible translations to the KJV. For the last month or so, you’ve been speaking about making end times Bible study materials available. This got us really excited, as we’re eager to use these for our weekly house church group.” Carl N – Mumbai, India
- “I listen to your podcasts often. Very enlightening and I’ve learned a lot. I’m Catholic and followed the Holy Bible throughout my life however, since listening to your podcasts, I’ve learned much more. I recently sent NTEB a small donation. I’d like to do so again in the future. I’ve also signed up for NTEB chatroom. Anyways, I have a downloaded version of KJB on my computer and I follow your Bible Study with my pdf version KJB. You have offered to send out printed version of KJB if requested. If not too much trouble, when you or your staff get the opportunity please send me a copy.” Kevin W – Frankfurt, Germany
- Just wanted to let you know that your ministry is producing fruit. After listening to the studies and church on NTEB, I was motivated to write witness letters along with NTEB gospel tracks to friends from my hometown who I know are not saved. I sent two of the letters to former Catholic priests of mine….I attached the response from him urging me to read the book “Prove It!.” My wife and I have been placing your gospel tracks in different places we visit. This coming Sunday, I am hosting my first Bible study in my house with some people in our neighborhood. Tomorrow evening I have been given a chance to teach the lesson to our youth church group (our church is very Laodicean), and I am going to talk to the youth on end times. Thank you so much for your ministry and encouraging us to get something done for Jesus while we still can! Thomas B
- “The sole purpose of this email to you is to let you know how much we have been blessed by your amazing ministry/website. ‘We’ is my wife and I, in our early forties, 3 kids, professing, churchgoing, bible believing Christians in The Netherlands. Since two months, I listen to your bible studies on Sunday evening, and since this week also to your prophecy podcast. I listen to them in the archives, because of the 6 hour time difference. The shofar and the blessing at 0:30 into the study never fails to make tears in my eyes. We are praying for you, we are praying for your voice, that it lasts in these incredible busy times for you. Listening to your podcasts, you seem to do it effortlessly, talking, scanning the chatbox for questions, diving into the texts, from Genesis to Revelation and everything in between, I love it when you realize after 1:30h into the study, actually a lot more subjects need to be addressed! Thank you for all your work and effort, you are doing an amazing job. Although it all seems effortlessly, I know it is not…Our faith is strengthened by your work and we are able to testify in a better way to the people around us!” Wouter D. van der Wiel – Netherlands
- “Wanted to send you encouragement and thank you for all you are doing!! I’ve been reading from this website for about 5 years and I’ve been on this at least 10 times a day. It’s the most honest prophecy website in history. And you have ministered to me greatly. This lockdown has been amazing as God gets us unto himself and smooths out the paths for us. I was reading devotional from Kenneth Copeland and during that time you had really hit That ministries hard. I was not Word Faith but I was feeding off his teaching. During this time I have removed Kenneth Copeland I wanted to thank you for your exposure of his ministry. Holy Spirit is truly the leader of all truths. The bible study on Bill Gates was tremendous. And I had the same check in my spirit as you did. He’s the guy that gonna lead this one world revolution Amazing times we live in. I’m super excited and living in total victory and peace. Once again thank you for the time you put in your reward in heaven will truly be great. Looking forward to this coming week. My prayer tonight is this …Father send Your Son!! DG
- “Thank you oh so much for sound teaching. I am so thankful and blessed for clicking on your channel. I have been on your Facebook page since 2011 and never subscribed to you-tube channel until today. I loved the live recording of singing, what a delight to hear the joy of the Lord in the voices of the congregation. So wonderful to hear the part about Luke 12:36, that has made my eyebrows furrow when I read and therefore I have always steadfast to not leaning on my own understanding. May God continue to bless you, your family friends and loved ones. All Glory be to Jesus, my Saviour Redeemer and King, Amen.” Susan Anderson
- “Loved this teaching! Presented in a clear contextual manner that was easy to follow along. You connected the dots for me that had previously brought so much confusion, namely the 4th seal covenant, the 5th seal tribulation saints, and the 6th seal 2nd Coming of Christ AFTER the wedding of the Body/Bride of Christ IN HEAVEN. Wow, after 41 years since my being born again by the Holy Spirit in to the Body of Christ, I finally have the answers to end the confusion. What joy and peace has flooded my heart! Thank you for this encouraging teaching of the Word.” SB
- “I am from Sri Lanka and listen to the radio Bible study every week.” Nihal Perera
Nothing thrills my soul like teaching the word of God, it is what the Lord called me to do 29 years ago, and Now The End Begins is the vehicle in which I am able to do it. How exciting it is to be able to teach the Bible to tens of thousands of people per year. Like I told you with the first post of 2020, I have dedicated myself now full-time to NTEB, and it is only through your generous support that such a thing is possible.

I’ve been banned from seeing my grandsons since I comforted the 4 1/2 year old with sharing Jesus loving the little children & telling him about the one who created him last he stayed overnight March 3rd. He was so excited to hear about Jesus! His dad (my son) was angry that I told him & wants me to apologize. I never will do so. If my own family won’t hear, I know there’s others searching for the truth. My heart grieves for all the lost who will spend eternity in hell if they reject the Lord Jesus Christ, the expectant hope of the world. He is not willing that any should perish.

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: The Zion Of God And The Coming Kingdom Of Jesus Christ
The Perfection Of Beauty: Why Zion Is The Place God Chose For His Habitation, His Glory, His Word, And His Future Kingdom Reign Out Of Israel
In your King James Bible, the word “Zion” appears 152 times in 152 verses, with all of them anchored in the Old Testament. And in the overwhelming majority of places, Zion is a literal, visible and physical geographic location firmly connected to King David, and to the coming King Jesus at the Second Advent. Zion will be the place where King Jesus will sit on David’s throne, and rule the world during the Millennium. God will rule the world from a Zionist Kingdom on this Earth, believe it or not.
“The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.“ Psalm 50:1-3 (KJB)
SUNDAY SERVICE STUDY NOTES: The Zion of God
The Zion of God
1. Zion Begins As A Real Place: The Strong Hold Of The Jebusites
The first major biblical identification of Zion is in David’s conquest of Jerusalem:
“Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.” 2 Samuel 5:7 (KJB)
So, historically, Zion begins as a fortified stronghold in Jerusalem, captured by David and then called “the city of David.” It is not first presented as an abstract spiritual idea. It is a literal place tied to David, Jerusalem, kingship, and conquest.
2. Zion Becomes The Seat Of Davidic Rule
Once David takes Zion, it becomes connected with the royal authority of Israel’s king. This matters because God’s covenant with David makes Jerusalem and Zion central to the kingdom promises. Zion is not merely a city name; it becomes the earthly seat from which God’s chosen king rules.
That is why the Psalms can speak of Zion with such majesty. Zion is the city of the King, the place associated with God’s government on the earth.
3. Zion Becomes The Place Of God’s Chosen Habitation
Psalm 132 makes the doctrine unmistakable:
“For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.” Psalm 132:13 (KJB)
This is where Zion rises above mere geography. The Bible says the LORD chose Zion. That choice makes Zion the appointed earthly center of divine presence, worship, glory, and future kingdom administration.
Psalm 50:2 fits perfectly here:
“Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.” Psalm 50:2 (KJB)
Zion is called “the perfection of beauty” not because of architecture, scenery, or human achievement, but because God’s presence, God’s glory, God’s word, and God’s King are associated with it.
4. Zion Becomes The Prophetic Center Of The Coming Kingdom
The prophets take Zion forward into the future reign of the LORD. Isaiah says:
“And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” Isaiah 2:3 (KJB)
That is a kingdom passage. Zion becomes the center from which divine law and instruction go forth to the nations. In a rightly divided framework, this points forward to the earthly, visible, Davidic kingdom reign of the Lord Jesus Christ, when Jerusalem is not replaced or spiritualized away, but exalted according to prophecy.
5. Zion Is Connected With Israel’s National Restoration
Paul quotes the prophets in Romans 11:
“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:” Romans 11:26 (KJB)
Notice the spelling “Sion” in the New Testament KJB. It is the same biblical idea carried forward. In Romans 11, Zion/Sion is connected with Israel’s future deliverance, not the erasing of Israel’s promises. The Deliverer comes in connection with Jacob, Israel, covenant mercy, and national restoration.
6. Zion Also Has A Heavenly Association
Hebrews gives another layer:
“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,” Hebrews 12:22 (KJB)
Here, “mount Sion” is connected with the heavenly Jerusalem. That does not cancel the earthly promises to Jerusalem and Israel; it shows that Zion has both an earthly prophetic importance and a heavenly glory associated with God’s eternal purposes.
The Word “Zion” In One Sentence
Zion begins as David’s conquered stronghold in Jerusalem, becomes the city of God’s chosen habitation and royal glory, expands into the prophetic center of Messiah’s earthly kingdom, and is finally seen in connection with the heavenly Jerusalem and the eternal purposes of God.
Psalm 50:2 is therefore a magnificent statement: God shines out of the place He chose, the place of His King, His covenant, His worship, His glory, and His coming kingdom.

From Deep Inside A Maximum Security Women’s Prison In South Dakota Comes One Of The Most Heartfelt Requests For Bibles We’ve Ever Received
A Prison Captain In A South Dakota Women’s Prison Reaches Out To Us With One Of The Most Moving Requests For Bibles We’ve Ever Received
Coils of barbed wire crown the tall chain-link fences, while heavy metal-and-glass entrance doors, guarded cell blocks, and camera-monitored entry points all testify to the intense security surrounding the South Dakota Women’s Prison in Pierre.This is a no-nonsense, maximum security prison for female offenders buried deep in the foothills of South Dakota. Captain Samantha Uhrig reached out to us this week with one of the most heartfelt requests for Bibles I think we’ve ever recieved. It will bless you.
“Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.” Psalm 142:7 (KJB)
Her starting email to us was polished, professional and a very straight-forward request for Bibles. It read, in part, “SDWP is currently the intake and maximum-security level facility for women incarcerated in the state of South Dakota. Our state currently incarcerates women at one of the highest rates in the world, we also have the challenge of being located in an area that has limited resources and volunteers due to the length of travel. Currently we house approximately 500 female offenders in our facility. I have been looking for some time to replace our stock of religious materials for our incarcerated population…” That’s about the the type of email request we usually get, so I immediately responded and told her Bibles Behind Bars could absolutely help her. She wrote back and said “Thank you! My stores are completely depleted at this time. If you could send me 250 copies that would help bolster my supply significantly.” I said we would be happy to do that, and that we could also send her one of our Book Boxes, packed with great Christian literature. (see below). It was at this point that the captain got a little emotional.
She went on to tell me that the person who was in charge of the chaplaincy vacated their position and, it was later discovered, left the prison library and Bible program utterly bereft. No books, no library, and worst of all, no Bibles. When it dawned on her that Bibles Behind Bars was able to rebuild her library, with quality books, as well as supplying her with hundreds of Bibles, at no charge, her gratitude was plainly evident. I told her that we would be praying for her, and that Lord would give her “fruit in that day”. Captain Uhrig replied “Thank you!!! I am at a loss for words. Truly from the bottom of my heart thank you both. This big hard world needs more people like you who care.” Amen, Cap, that’s what we’re here for. Christian, this is what you are praying for when you pray for this outreach. We minister to the inmates, absolutely, but we also minister to the chaplains, captains, sheriffs, pastors, preachers and volunteers who go into the jails and prisons every day and do the hard work. When you donate, this is what you are supporting, and we need your help now more than ever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
