Prosperity Heretic Joel Osteen Mocks People Without Wealth, Calling Them ‘Poor, Broke And Defeated’ As He Brags About His ‘Overflow’ Abundant Life

Joel Osteen says that being poor, broke and defeated doesn’t bring any glory to God, who he says wants you to be wealthy and blessed, with an overflow.

Joel Osteen sermon Poor, Broke and Defeated
NOW THE END BEGINS SHARE:

No, when you’re poor, broke, and defeated, all that proves is that you’re poor, broke, and defeated. It doesn’t bring any honor to God.

When I first received this video today, multiple times actually from eagle-eyed NTEBers, I was skeptical at first because in the version I was watching it was pretty small, and the audio didn’t match the video. But as I listened to what sounded like Joel Osteen’s voice, I started out annoyed, quickly grew mad and then became enraged at what I was hearing. I thought to myself that this had to be a DeepFake or something, because Joel was not only bragging about his wealth, but was mocking poor people! There is no way this could be true, I thought, not even a heretic like Joel Osteen could sink that low. But guess what? I was wrong.

“But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.” 1 Timothy 6:9-11 (KJV)

After a short but diligent search, I found a crystal-clear copy of the sermon that I have entitled ‘Poor, Broke and Defeated’, and present it to you here today so you can hear it for yourself. But be warned, if you like Joel Osteen and have any type of a heart or compassion, you won’t like him after listening to the sermon. And if you didn’t like Joel Osteen prior to hearing this sermon, you’re going to hate him with a passion after hearing this sermon. It’s that bad.

A few quotes from ‘Poor, Broke and Defeated’:

  • “Well,” you say, “Joel, are you one of those prosperity ministers”? No, I don’t like that term. That sounds like somebody that only talks about finances. Prosperity to me is having your health. It’s having peace in your mind. It’s being able to sleep at night, having good relationships. There are many things that money cannot buy, and while I don’t like the term “Prosperity minister,” I must say I am not a poverty minister.” Joel Osteen lying about being a prosperity preacher.
  • “But you’ve got to fight a religious spirit that says you’re supposed to be poor, broke, and defeated to show God that you’re really humble. No, when you’re poor, broke, and defeated, all that proves is that you’re poor, broke, and defeated. It doesn’t bring any honor to God. If I brought my two children up on the platform today and their clothes were all raggedy, worn out, holes in their shoes, hair not combed, you would look at me and think, “What kind of father is he”? It’d be a poor reflection on me. Listen, when you look good, dress good, live in a nice place, excel in your career, generous with others, that brings a smile to God’s face. It brings him pleasure to prosper you.” Joel Osteen mocking poor people.
  • “Let me ask you, do you have a fatted calf mentality, or do you have a skinny goat mentality? Do you think beans and rice are good enough, or do you say, “No, I want some enchiladas. I want some fajitas. I want some sopapillas”? Listen, you can live off of bread and water. You can survive in the land of barely enough. We can endure the land of just enough, just enough to make it through, just enough to pay my bills this week. But that is not God’s best. Your Heavenly Father, the one that breathed life into you, is saying, “I’ve got a fatted calf for you. I’ve got a place for you in the land of more than enough”. Joel Osten preaching that more is never enough. 

Joel says repeatedly that we should not be satisfied with having “enough” but rather that we should always be striving for an “overflowing abundance”. In fact, he goes so far as to mock the people that are content with little, calling them “skinny goats”. Wow. But they Bible preaches a completely different message than that, see for yourself:

“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” 1 Timothy 6:6-8 (KJV)

Here is a 3-minute clip from this incredibly heretical sermon where he bends and twists scripture to such a degree that the listener is left with nothing but a theological pretzel by the end of it. If you really want to make yourself mad, listen to the whole sermon in its entirety by clicking here.

Joel Osteen Preaching On Poor, Broke and Defeated

The Apostle Paul Was Backslidden According To Joel Osteen

Now in contrast, let’s take a look at the main writer of the New Testament and arguably the greatest Christian who ever walked the face of the earth, the apostle Paul. Listen as Paul talks about what it was like to be handpicked by Jesus Himself to be an apostle:

“For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.” 1 Corinthians 4:9-14 (KJV)

Match those verses up against the relentless prosperity preaching of Joel Osteen, and then you tell me who is telling the truth and who is lying to you. Joel Osteen says over, and over and over again that “God wants you to be rich” and in the context Joel is absolutely talking about material possessions and earthly wealth. So if this is God’s plan for all Christians, looks like Paul and the other apostles got the short end of the stick, doesn’t it? All the apostles were poor, all of them were broke, and from Rome’s point of view, absolutely defeated. And that’s because the “riches” that the Bible talks about are spiritual riches, and not numbers on the balance sheet. Joel Osteen seems unable to differentiate between the two.

How about these verses where the people of Philippi have sent a gift to Paul, and we can assume it was food, clothing and/or money, and Paul tells them thanks, but guess what? He goes on to tell them that he would have been just fine without it! This is a concept unknown at Lakewood Church in particular, and in the Prosperity Movement in general.

“But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:10-13 (KJV)

There is nothing wrong with God blessing His children with earthly wealth if it is used for His glory. DL Moody and Charles Spurgeon raised millions in their day, but did the right thing with it. DL Moody, when asked on his deathbed, about the inheritance he was leaving for his children, he said he was leaving them nothing, and that they would have to learn to trust God as he had had to do. In a church world of Joel Osteens be a DL Moody.

Joel Osteen In His Own Words

If you were looking for a video that proves Joel Osteen is a false teacher and a Bible heretic, in his own words, this is it. 

Does Joel Osteen Like Being Rich?

Joel Osteen On His Refusal To Preach On Hell

The number one reason why anyone should ever want to be saved can be summed up in one word – Hell. Because of Hell, Jesus went to the cross and made a payment to set you free if you would only take it. Because of Hell, God commands believers to take the message of salvation to a lost and dying world. What sends you to Hell? Unpaid sin in your life. But Joel Osteen refuses to tell people about Hell because he wants them to be “uplifted” and “feel positive”.

Transgender School Shooter Audrey Hale Was Only Doing What Groups Like The ‘Trans Day Of Vengeance’ Movement Had Been Encouraging Her To Do

Published

NOW THE END BEGINS SHARE:

Audrey Hale was a faithful soldier in the Transgender Army, and a bellwether of what you can expect to see in the coming days.

What happened yesterday at the Covenant School was a premeditated, cold-blood, and rationally thought out plan hatched by transgender killer Audrey Hale. She murdered three kids and three adults before police neutralized her forward movement. Why would she do this? One big reason might be because Tennessee had proposed House Bill 9, a bill banning many drag performances from taking place on any public property in the state, as well as in any location where people under 18 could be present. House Bill 1 bans children under the age of 18 from being chemically and surgically mutilated. Both bills were passed into law on February 23rd of this year. Stirred on by transgender militant groups, Audrey Hale was seething with anger, she wanted to make someone pay, and that’s when she decided to ‘lock and load’.

“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction,)” Philippians 3:18,19a (KJB)

If you are going to understand the spirit behind the transgender madness that has risen over America, you need to understand that it comes from the pit of Hell. The transgender movement is a radical, militaristic uprising, and they will force their agenda on you even if they have to murder you to do it. Back in 2019, NTEB warned you with an article entitled ‘Under The Banner Of The Rainbow Battle Flag, God Is Judging A Godless America By Allowing The LGBTQ+P For Pedophile Army To Take Control’, and that article has turned out to be a little more than slightly prophetic.

Some on social media have suggested that America needs to immediately remove all these special concessions made to the lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders, and that would have been a great idea ten years ago, even 5 years ago. But now? Now that would be akin to locking the barn door after the horses have run out. First they asked for tolerance, when they got that, it was acceptance. When they got that, it became equality, and now? Now they want dominance, they want control, they want you and me to be under their control. Don’t give me any jazz about Audrey Hale having an ’emotional disorder’, this was cold-blooded murder to further the transgender manifesto. America’s promotion of the transgender agenda is nothing less than giving birth to Frankenstein’s monster, and you remember how that worked out for Frankenstein, don’t you?

This weekend in Washington DC, a ‘trans day of vengeance’ will be held, and just coincidentally it is sponsored by Marxist Socialists. Their site says “We’re Here, We’re Queer, and We aren’t going anywhere” needs to be echoed loudly. We are calling for Trans Day of Vengeance, instead of Trans Day of Visibility, because ‘visibility’ alone is no longer enough.” Audrey Hale was a faithful soldier in the transgender army, and her plan to execute people she felt symbolically represented the opposition, the Christians at Covenant School, was enacted and carried out.

Until you understand that the entirety of this LGBTQIA+ and transgender madness that exists in our day in nothing less than a complete and total sociological takeover of humanity, you won’t understand it at all. To what end is all this being done? To prepare the world to receive the coming kingdom of Antichrist, which at this point, is right around the corner.

Is Transgender Shooter Audrey Hale The Start Of A Trans Gun Violence Movement, And Will The Democrat-Run Legacy State Media Even Report On It?

NOW THE END BEGINS SHARE:

The Covenant Christian School shooter in Nashville has been identified as transgender Audrey Hale who may be connected with the upcoming Trans Day Of Vengeance at the Supreme Court

The Democrats don’t know what to do right now. On one hand, a school shooting as tragic as the one that happened today at the Covenant Christian School In Nashville would seem like a perfect opportunity for them to pontificate again on the evils of the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution. But on the other hand, the shooter today was Far Left Liberal Democrat Audrey Hale, who also happened to be a transgender ‘woman’. What’s that line from ‘The Godfather’ about “don’t ever take sides with anyone against the Family“? Oh yeah, man, that’s what’s up.

“The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.” Genesis 6:11 (KJB)

Radical Leftist groups like Black Lives Matter, ANTIFA and the LGBTQIA+ Movement love violence and use it as their preferred means of conflict resolution. On our Podcast last week we told you about a group called ‘Rainbow Reload’, and you guessed it, they are a network of radical transgender gun groups that also go by the name ‘Pink Pistols’. So given the Left’s well-document love of violence to solve their social issues, you have to ask yourself is transgender shooter Audrey Hale a one-off nutjob, or the first soldier in the battalion willing to die for the cause? It’s just a hunch, but I am guessing this story, as horrific as it is, will be out of the rotation before Wednesday. If you’re looking for the truth, you won’t find it on the 6 O’clock News. Ever hear of the ‘Trans Day Of Vengeance’?

nteb-christian-bookstore-king-james-bibles-saint-augustine-florida-32095

On April 1 in Washington DC, they are preparing for something called the ‘Trans Day Of Vengeance’ which, given what happened today in Nashville, might just be a really bad thing. As we have always said, that 6-color Pride banner is actually a rainbow battle flag, and they are indeed marching to war. Is Audrey Hale the first of many transgenders who are ready to enact their violent agenda against us? You tell me.

Police: Suspect in Christian School Shooting Identified as Transgender

FROM BREITBART NEWS: Police believe Hale was a former student at the Christian school. Metropolitan Nashville Police Department chief John Drake indicated at a press conference that Hale “does identify as transgender.”

Three students and three adults were shot and killed during the attack, Breitbart News reported. Hale was confronted and killed by law enforcement.

During live coverage on FOX News Chief Drake said Hale was armed with three firearms, at least two of which were legally obtained. The Christian school did not have armed resource officers on campus when the attack occurred, FOX News’ John Roberts indicated. READ MORE

Transgender Shooter Audrey Hale Shoots And Kills 6, Including 3 Children, At The The Covenant Christian School Located in Nashville Tennessee

Seven people are dead — including three children — at The Covenant Christian School in Nashville on Monday morning after a shooting inside the building from transgender  female shooter Audrey Hale.

In a surprise twist, this latest school shooting involved a female shooter, and it took place at the The Covenant School, a Christian education facility located in Nashville Tennessee. Their web site says that they have “Impactful teaching methods and programs, daily all-school chapel, and school-wide service-learning are the backdrop for the real work — helping children become who God intends them to be.” What could possibly be the reason for 28-year old transgender shooter Audrey Hale to enter in there and start shooting teachers and kids? It’s a spirit.

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12 (KJB)

On the Podcast today, we talked all about the chaos and confusion abounding within our global society right now, something that we say has been brought on by a rising spirit. I was not aware of this horrific school shooting at air time, but it fits in perfectly with what we discussed on the Podcast. We live in strange and scary times, with events happening I never thought I would live to see. Wickedness and evil on a scale that boggles the imagination, and it grows worse on a daily basis. The world isn’t asking for it and doesn’t want it, but our job for those of us who are saved is to be a witness of the Lord Jesus Christ in these last days before the Rapture of the Church. Please pray for all the victims at The Covenant School, the need is great.

Seven dead: three children killed plus the shooter dead at The Covenant School on Monday

FROM NASHVILLE CHANNEL 5: The shooting happened at 10:13 a.m. The shooting didn’t happen in a classroom. “Three pediatric patients were transported to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, all having suffered gunshot wounds. All three were pronounced dead after arrival,” officials said.

“Officers went to the gunfire. When they got to the second floor and saw the shooter, a female. There was a five-member unit that was on the second floor at the time,” MNPD spokesperson Don Aaron said. “We know at this point that this shooter is a female. Her identification isn’t confirmed. She had two assault rifles and a handgun. She entered the school through a side entrance and went from the first school to the second floor. By 10:27 a.m., the shooter was dead.”

The shooter has been identified as Nashville woman, who is 28. Two MNPD officers who entered the building and went to the sounds of gunfire engaged the shooter on the second floor and fatally shot her.

Five others were wounded: three children and two adults. There were no MNPD personnel assigned to that building at any time.

“We have mental health professionals at the reunification site,” NFD spokesperson Kendra Looney said. “There is a hotline for parents to call that is being set up.”

The Red Cross has reacted and set up at the reunification center as well.

“At DA Glenn Funk’s request, TBI will operate in an assist capacity in the investigation of the shooting at The Covenant School in Green Hills. Metro Nashville Police Department will handle the release of information and updates moving forward,” TBI officials said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of The Covenant School shooting and the broader community impacted by this profound tragedy.”

MNPD said several schools in Green Hills area were placed on lockout out of an abundance of caution due to police activity in the area, and those families have been notified. We are working with first responders to provide any support we can. READ MORE
