John MacArthur Rebukes Joel Osteen

few weeks ago there was an event here at Dodger Stadium with Joel Osteen 35,000 people at Dodger Stadium something like that he is now the largest quote-unquote church and using the word loosely in America down in Houston you need to understand that he is a pagan religious in every sense he is a quasi pantheist Jesus is a footnote that satisfies his critics and deceives his followers the idea of his whole thing is that men have the power in themselves to change their lives in his definitive book your best life now he says and that ought to be a dead giveaway since the only way this could be your best life as if you're going to hell he says that anyone can create by faith and words the dreams he desires health wealth happiness success the list is always the same here's some quotes from his book your best life now if you develop an image of success health abundance joy peace happiness nothing on earth will be able to hold those things from you and quote see that's that's the law of attraction that's a part of this kind of system here's another quote all of us are born for earthly greatness you were born to win win what God wants you to live in abundance you were born to be a champion he wants to give you the desires of your heart before we were formed he prepared us to live abundant lives to be happy healthy and whole but when our thinking becomes contaminated it's no longer in line with God's Word and quote by the way God's Word is not the Bible God's Word is that word that comes to us mystically spiritually that tells us what we should want there's another quote get you're thinking positive and he will bring your desires to pass he regards you as a strong courageous successful person you're on your way to a new level of glory how do you get there believe he says visualize and speak out loud same exact approach words release your power words give life to your dreams here's another quote friend there's a miracle in your mouth I think Isaiah might object to that I said I'm a man of unclean lips and I dwell amidst the people of unclean lips here's Joel Osteen's prayer I thank you Father that I have your favor Wow did he meet the Pharisee in Luke 18 or what I thank you that I'm not like other people here's another quote I know these principles are true because they work for me and my wife oh so that's the test of truth are you kidding I know these things are true because they work for me and my wife sure you're at the top of the Ponzi scheme and then he said even finding a perfect parking spot at the mall and I asked what about the little old lady who cut off to get into that party what about her dreams maybe she was born to lose I mean it's so silly so bizarre he says God has already done everything he's going to do the ball is in your court you have to take that part of God which exists in you and create your own reality what is the source of this what does this come from answer Satan this is satanic this is satanic this is not just off-center this is satanic why do I say that because health wealth prosperity the fulfillment of all your dreams and your desires that's what Satan always offers that's called temptation based on the lust of the flesh the lusts the eyes the pride of life that's exactly what corrupt fallen unregenerate people won that's why it works so well right you can go right into Satan's system make everybody feel religious and turn their desires their temptations into somehow honorable desires I mean what did Satan say to Jesus perhaps some satisfaction why are you hungry you need to eat you need to be healthy hold why would you let yourself be unpopular dive off the temple corner who everybody will be wowed you'll be the winner you'll be the champion you'll be the Messiah they'll heal you and by the way if you just look over the kingdoms of the world I'll give those to you too that's satanic and why are these false teachers so successful at what they do because they're in cahoots with the devil why is Satan successful because his temptations although they might appear noble on the outside are in perfect accord with all the fallen corrupt selfish proud evil desires of sinners this is a false kind of Christianity and a false view of God and I think preachers like this who preach this stuff hate the true God I really believe that I believe they hate the true God and they're afraid to death that somebody might find out who he really is you
