So many professing Christians read and listen to these teachings and promote them to others. I don't know how many times she has been recommended to me and I just politely say I disagree with her on a lot of things. It is extremely difficult for me to tell another Christian that they are wrong. So thank you Allen Parr for this video. I am going to share it with them now. Explained it perfectly!😍

[@barbs1298]

I think Joyce by & large is trying to teach Christians how to live biblically. Yes, there are things she is off on. However, if we are mature Christians, we can listen & be encouraged by the biblical things she does teach in a very unique way with the gift God has given her & with her life experience. The unbiblical parts we can say, no that isn't right. My sister who is a new Christian likes to listen to Joyce for basic teaching on how to live as Jesus wants us to with very basic biblical principles. I listen as well & as a mature believer, I can share with my sister where Joyce is a bit off on some things. Eat the meat, spit out the bones & don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Discernment in all things so that we can help those around us new to the faith w/out discouraging them as they begin their walk with Jesus.

Thank you Allan for lovingly steering people away from bad teaching/doctrine. God's word is far too precious to carelessly read and teach (like many teachers do).

[@TVHouseHistorian]

I’ve spoken with friends of mine who love Joyce Meyer, and the #1 reason they give me as to why they continue to follow her is because they say her teachings have helped them. The problem with that thinking is these people don’t bother using discernment, nor do they actually study their Bible.

[@JayaSavannah]

Same! The other one that I hate hearing about is the Jesus Calling books that claim to be the channeled words of Christ. People fawn about how these helped them grow but it’s bad fertilizer to put it mildly.

[@kaboom9081]

exactly....people find it easier to hear someone tell them what to do than to read the Bible themselves. Mind blown. Timothy 4:3-4 "For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. So they will turn their ears away from the truth"

[@interpretingscripture8068]

God and his sovereignty revealed to us his inspired word therefore whatever his word declares is in agreement with his Sovereign will for our lives so the key is to properly interpret scripture in its context understand its meaning and then we can apply sound biblical principles from those passages to our lives. One rule of hermeneutics is that there is one interpretation but many possible applications to each Passage Therefore as long as a sound biblical principle is applied in an affirmation or what I would call a biblical confession or faith Declaration then there is no problem to it... it's actually a good thing and can be part of renewing our minds to the Word of God...aligning ourselves to God's will...taking captive every thought to Christ...building and releasing our faith in agreement with scripture.

[@ryanrevland4333]

@@yesthejets3377 Exactly! They'll try and twist a verse like Ephesians 6:5 -- "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ." Just because the Bible condones slavery doesn't mean it's acceptable now. Morality is subjective and improves as humans evolve.

Thank you for talking about this and I actually find your passion refreshing. Before I was born again, I was a kinda Christian. Never read the Bible minus a handful of times where id read passages.

I admit, I find JM motivating at times. She has helped me see things from a more positive place when I'm stuck in a rut. That being said, I do have discernment and I can sift thru her teachings. Will I recommend her teachings to a new Christian, no I will not. Do I find myself seeking out others before Joyce, yes I do! That all being said we need to use wisdom and discernment with ANYONE preaching the Word! We are all human and foulable, no matter how hard we try we still miss the mark and we need to even back up what our favorite pastor, Bible teacher, Sunday school teacher, etc...with the word of God. Jer 29:11 is a perfect example of how many do not fully read the context of scripture. They pull out a pretty verse not reading what it says before and after. We see cherry picking all the time when the pharisee judge believers and non believers alike. At the end of the day we must pray for wisdom, discernment and eyes to see the truth in ourselves as well as others.

For the Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him with all your heart and with all your soul. You are to follow the Lord your God and fear Him.

[@somethinggood9267]

I grew up in a Baptist Church and no, we did not do affirmations like this. But I do remember, being in my late twenties, and learning for the first time that we're supposed to read the Bible in context. This was a revelation to me, I never knew this before. Before I literally thought that I could read a Bible verse and it applied to me. Now I know better and I ask myself some questions before I attempt to use a Bible verse for my own well-being. The main place that I draw Bible verses from to apply to my own life are the Psalms, because I believe they are prayers written for every Christian. I also applied the words of Jesus in the New Testament of course. I also try to apply the wisdom of the Old Testament. The verses there may not be speaking about me, but we can learn a lot of wisdom and about our heritage from those verses

[@robfriedrich2822]

But most of the bible verses apply to you. You try to prevent disappointment the human way and so your mindset is closer to an orphan, than a beloved child. It's pretty easy, when someone has the answer, so you can deal with the fact, that some miracles doesn't become visible. It's challenging, when God says "I want you healthy, powerful, not poor" and the circumstances communicates the opposite.

[@l.a.w.79]

@somethinggood so good! I became a Christian knowing right away that scripture was written to an audience for that specific point in time and that principles could be applied today. However, it took a lot of time to learn the context and audience for different books especially in the OT. I think that is so important to be in a biblically sound church. And get in a good Bible class. So many ppl rd the Bible like it is a wishful book rather than a true record of God’s overall plan for redemption. Only then could I see the principles and get excited about what God had in mind for all of mankind.

[@TinkerBell-bt6vu]

I thank God for people like you, Allen. Keep spreading the TRUTH... God bless you brother! 🙏💖

[@kflybye]

Allen - you are right on the money on this one. It truly breaks my heart to hear Christians say how much they love the teachings of Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen. I do not believe that people who actually read the Bible and study it for themselves can follow these teachers. You are correct - discernment is the key and that comes from reading the Word, studying it, and growing in your walk with the Lord. Thank you for all you do, Allen - it is a privilege to support your ministry.

[@thebeatagp]

That was so kind of you! Thank you so much for that encouragement!

[@UnpopularOpinionByNkiruka]

What is wrong with Pastor Joel Osteen? He has spoken hope so many times in my life when I wanted to give up!

[@viviennejordan215]

Nkiruka, If You're a Christian and belong to a Church, do they Read and Quote Scripture, do the Congregation Have, and Read Their Bibles Along With The Pastor? Do they have Bible Study, to Help You Understand God's Word? Do They Pray For Others, Support each other, Pray for themselves at home, for What they Need Spiritually, as well as For God's Provision? Do they Worship God Together, Give Him Thanks and Praise? If Not, it's Not a Church. Self Promotion is Not of God. Self seeking Is Not of God. Jesus Came to Save us, to Serve God His Heavenly Father First, and Serve man, our Fellowman, Humankind. He Took on the Role of Servant, Which is what we are, if we are Christians.

[@viviennejordan215]

Nkiruka, Jesus Is our Hope, For Salvation, For the Gift of Eternal Life. The Only Way to Heaven, No 'Good Works' Can Save us, Only Accepting Jesus as our Saviour, Trusting and Relying Only on Him, Not the things of this world. Jesus Taught us, How to Live, In Righteousness and Uprightness In God's Sight. Being of the self, of the flesh, Will get You to the lake of fire for eternity. Accept Jesus as Your Saviour, Trust.and Rely on Him, Turn and Repent of sin, Be Reborn Anew In Jesus, Become a New Creation in Christ Jesus. God Bless You, Lead and Guide You In Righteousness, and Grant You Strength, Peace, Joy, Comfort and Healing, In Jesus Name, Amen!

[@viviennejordan215]

Nkiruka, This is a Good Godly Channel to Learn God's Word and Understand it. I also Recommend In Touch Ministries, they do a Daily Devotional, and Sermons. Dr Charles Stanley, the Pastor, has Passed On, But what a Blessing, we have His videos to watch.

[@istvandejesus]

Brother Parr keep up the good work. This is not “peaking” at them. This is exposing false doctrine and exposing false teaching.

[@natewwc2741]

So grateful for how God is using you to spread wisdom and discernment, Allen! Great video! Thank you! I’ve been benefitting from your videos more than I can explain here- for years!

[@ednaafiriyie9245]

I had aways used Isaiah 53:5 over healing of body. I thank you for the spiritual theological enlightenment of Isaiah. You are a blessing to the Body of Christ. God's disciples must read and pray for the spirit of discernment.

[@emmanuelsiempre295]

Can i ask you a question? If Isaiah 53 is not about physical healing, then what is Matthew referring to in Matthew 8 "That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and HEALED ALL WHO WERE SICK. THIS WAS TO FULFILL WHAT WAS SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET ISAIAH: “HE TOOK OUR ILLNESSES AND BORE OUR DISEASES.” Matthew 8:16‭-‬17

[@mkrawstrong]

This is the content I need! Explanations, how to look deeper into the word. Practical knowledge!

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

Thank you for disclosing the falsehoods may our lord Jesus continue to enlighten your purpose.

[@juliannebrancadora3476]

Thank you, Allen, for your ministry! I've seen a lot of people hurt by these affirmations in the WofF churches we used to attend, specificaIly the healing affirmations. They trust in these confessions and don't face reality and a lot of times end up dying because they refused medical treatment. Right off the bat I can think of two friends who died because they refused medical treatment while trusting in their affirmations.

[@terrigallagher5998]

Thank you for your passion for the spiritual well-being of fellow Christians. Your boldness, wisdom and discernment are a blessing to many of us.😊🙏🙌

[@banggelang]

Thank you for persistently bringing us back to the Scriptures.

[@aissaescoto3817]

When the time is right, I, the Lord your God will make it happen - Isaiah 60:22

[@NewCreationInChrist896]

We place our faith in Jesus by meditating on His promises, we want what God wants. Faith in Christ alone not in ourselves Psalms 1:2 Joshua 1:8. Psalm 37: 4 "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart"

[@happygal1974]

I love Joyce Meyer daily devotion. Each time when I am down with an anger issue on that day, her devotion will pop up talking about anger. When i am having issue to forgive my boss, her devotion for that day will talk about the same problem i am facing. I never recite her affirmation but each time when i have an issue her devotion pop up and i believe God speaks to me through her devotion.

[@ivonnemeza5237]

Try James 1:5 and Continue reading scriptures. Let The Holy Spirit guide you. Ask God for decernment not to be decieved by her.

[@willberk2920]

Another masterful lesson, it couldn’t be made any clearer. Love you brother, keep up the “God” work.

[@delcetacampbell3196]

I pray that Joyce grow stronger in the knowledge of how to handle the word and while that is so that she live in the knowledge that she is doing a great job in the kingdom of God and not become discouraged by harsh words which some people choose to use in speaking about her because of their need to grow.

[@charlesbutindaro4164]

THANK YOU for sharing this video. I think this topic is very much needed in the Body Of Christ. Very helpful video. Also, I appreciate you speaking with comparisons towards God's people. I would encourage you to continue to keep teaching the truth with the love of Christ towards all people. With you in Christ, Pastor Charles

[@c2s2942]

One that I often remind myself of is when Paul says that God makes all things work together for the good of those who love him, for those who are called according to His purpose. It gives me hope that even hard times or bad things will benefit me because of how good God is and that he will sustain us through anything, even if none of it makes sense to us.

[@tiago3106]

What a respectful and honest correction..... good job preach

[@caroltiller5116]

I like your teachings on line. God bless and keep you.

Whatsoever you lay your hands to shall PROSPER.

[@YourDadVR]

Thank you for this video, I needed to hear this. Sometimes I lose faith by trying to fulfill false teachings. It’s my own fault for not testing it against scripture.

[@gwencooke7158]

Thank you for your wisdom and making things plain. I know that there are other good speakers, but in my spirit I know that I can trust your teaching ❤ please continue to let God lead you 😊🙌

[@ricardobelmares6775]

i like all those preacher but u make a point brother its better know if a verse is not being use right continue brother im all for what u are doing😊

[@mistyblue3206]

I love Joyce Myers. She and Charles Stanley are the only ones on TV I listen to.

[@mikec5992]

I agree. But a friendly suggestion, Charles Stanley's son (Andy Stanley) can't be trusted. Andy Stanley is sadly not a biblical teacher like his dad.

[@viviennejordan215]

As a New Christian, i watched Joyce and others that I don't watch Now. Because I Also watched Holy Spirit Filled Pastors, Who Led me to The Truth of God's Word.

[@eyeluvchrist]

I like Joyce, I’ve been a Christian for most of my life and I never felt she lead me astray.

[@vladdragos501]

Its not about feelings, its about what the Word of God says

[@malenejensen2995]

I followed Joyce Meyer twenty years ago, and her teaching helped me with some basic "get your life together", but it also damaged my relationship with God to affirm things that was not a reality in my life. It was wishful thinking and denied me the opportunity to tackle those things. In the end I became shameful and hopeless because God didn't turn the bad situation around for me. Thankfully I have a very deep love for Jesus, and have turned around. Now I am tackling the hard things in my life and have turned back to God, realising He was there all the time, I just didn't want to accept the solutions He was pointing me to.

[@w.m.woodward2833]

Thanks so much for this video and pointing out these particulars, Allen. I discovered in my church's library a small section of Joyce Meyer's books and that concerned me. Now I have a concise tool to share with the librarian, so if she will consider removing these books.

[@bobhunnicutt6952]

Speaking out against false doctrine is a requirement for SOME of us...not all people are called to do this mainly because some are completely unable for various reasons . Praising God for discernment!

[@curiositychroniclesx]

Thank you Allen, I used to listen to her some and had a book on this stuff and I’ve always if some affirmations were more man centered. I like that you didn’t just say this is bad but actually explained to us why it’s bad and unbiblical so we can learn to discern for ourselves when no one is around to tell us it’s wrongZ

[@viviennejordan215]

Pray to The Lord to have Discernment.

[@ifollowjesus1667]

And also listen to a pastor that follows the Bible and reads the Bible. @@viviennejordan215

Now wait, I think we should pray for one another, to me laying on of hands, to me shows that you care and is praying for this person in a particular manner❤

[@zenretbakle1848]

I just spoke about this with my sister some minutes ago. She said while she was in university, her fellowship always made them say an affirmation " Money shall locate me this week" every Sunday.

[@viviennejordan215]

That's soooo funny. What kind of person believes "money shall locate me this week"

[@roxanneking9156]

Did you watch the video? You need to be careful. She can twist the truth to match her agenda.

[@ivonnemeza5237]

@@roxanneking9156 I agree with you she does twist the truth and adds to what it is not even in scripture.
