*Joyce Meyer*
 
*Joyce Meyer is a Word Faith teacher.
The Word Faith basically teaches the following, although not all Word Faith teachers are unified in all that they believe:  Christians are little gods (Are Christians little gods?)  Jesus did not pay for our sins on the cross but he had to finish the job of atonement in hell  (Did Jesus pay for our sins in hell?).
We can command God by our words and God wants us healthy and wealthy (Danger of Blessings).
If Christians are not healthy and wealthy it is because of our lack of faith and/or knowledge (Christians and Sickness).
Christians have total control over their environment by the words that we speak, if we speak sickness and poverty we will be sick and broke.
Conversely, if Christians speak blessings and healing we will be healthy and wealthy.*
*  The Bible makes it very clear, God even simplified the matter by placing it all into one easy to understand chapter.
God teaches us the following: that we should be content, we should not desire to be rich, the love of money is the root of all evil, that many people have erred from the faith due to a love of money, then it commands us to flee these things, (1 Timothy 6).
*
*Some of the most Godly people in the Bible were poor, Paul (Philipians 4:11-12), Paul's companions (1 Corinthians 4:9-13), Old Testament faithful       (Hebrews 11:37) and Jesus (Matthew 8:20, 2 Corinthians 8:9).*
*"Supposing that gain is godliness; from such withdraw thyself...But godliness with contentment is great gain...And having food and clothes let us be content...But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts...For the love of money is the root of all evil, which, while some have coveted after, they have erred from the faith...But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness," 1 Timothy 6:6-11.

*Joyce Meyer: *
 
*"Faithful partnership with Joyce Meyer Ministries gives you an effective way to channel your support that you can trust---and it allows us to budget our money and manage this ministry with excellence."*
*(Joyce Meyer, letter from her ministry 2004)*
*Note: Can we trust Joyce Meyer with our money?
Explain these things:*
*"Joyce Meyer says God has made her rich.
Everything she has came from Him: the $10 million corporate jet, her husband's $107,000 silver-gray Mercedes sedan, her $2 million home and houses worth another $2 million for her four children — all blessings, she says, straight from the hand of God..."If you stay in your faith, you are going to get paid," Meyer told an audience in Detroit in September.
"I'm living now in my reward."*
*Meyer is fond of nice things and is willing to spend for them.
From an $11,000 French clock in the ministry's Fenton headquarters to a $105,000 Crownline boat docked behind her vacation home at Lake of the Ozarks, it's clear her tastes run more to Perrier than to tap water.*
*The building is decorated with religious paintings and sculptures, and quality furniture.
Much of it, Meyer says, she selected herself.
*
*A Jefferson County assessor's list offers a glimpse into the value of many of the items: a $19,000 pair of Dresden vases, six French crystal vases bought for $18,500, an $8,000 Dresden porcelain depicting the Nativity, two $5,800 curio cabinets, a $5,700 porcelain of the Crucifixion, a pair of German porcelain vases bought for $5,200.
*
*The decor includes a $30,000 malachite round table, a $23,000 marble-topped antique commode, a $14,000 custom office bookcase, a $7,000 Stations of the Cross in Dresden porcelain, a $6,300 eagle sculpture on a pedestal, another eagle made of silver bought for $5,000, and numerous paintings purchased for $1,000 to $4,000 each.
*
*Inside Meyer's private office suite sit a conference table and 18 chairs bought for $49,000.
The woodwork in the offices of Meyer and her husband cost the ministry $44,000.
*
*Meyer drives the ministry's 2002 Lexus SC sports car with a retractable top, valued at $53,000.
Her son Dan, 25, drives the ministry's 2001 Lexus sedan, with a value of $46,000.
Meyer's husband drives his Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG sedan.
*
*"My husband just likes cars," Meyer said.
The Meyers keep the ministry's Canadair CL-600 Challenger jet, which Joyce Meyer says is worth $10 million, at Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Chesterfield.
The ministry employs two full-time pilots to fly the Meyers to conferences around the world.*
*Security is important to Meyer, who says she has received death threats.
She has a division of the ministry dedicated to her safety.
Her officers wear pistols; they guard the headquarters' front gate, keeping out anyone but employees and invited guests.
*
*The ministry bought a $145,000 house where the security chief lives rent-free to keep him close to the ministry's headquarters.*
*Since 1999, the ministry has spent at least $4 million on five homes for Meyer and her four children near Interstate 270 and Gravois Road, St. Louis County records show.
*
*Meyer's house, the largest of the five, is a 10,000-square-foot Cape Cod style estate home with a guest house and a garage that can be independently heated and cooled and can hold up to eight cars.
The three-acre property has a large fountain, a gazebo, a private putting green, a pool and a poolhouse where the ministry recently added a $10,000 bathroom."*
*(Article on Joyce Meyers, 11/15/2003, St. Louis Post Dispatch)*
 
*"It's amazing to me how many people are jealous of the car I drive or the house I live in or the size of my ministry...Don't be jealous of the fact that I fly my own airplane...But you know what I've noticed?
I've never had anybody who drives a car like mine be jealous of my car.
I've never had any other minister who has an airplane be jealous of my airplane.
So you know we're really not mad at what other people have, we're mad because we don't have it!"*
*(Joyce Meyer, "Mind, Mouth, Moods, and Attitudes," tape 2 of 4 the "Mouth")*
*"Oh, shut up!
I mean there is not a one of you sitting out there today if you were in full time ministry and you had an opportunity to have your own airplane rather than flying around commercial all of the time that you wouldn't have one too.
We are only jealous because we don't have what other people have!
And it's a rotten thing on the inside of us that God wants to get out."*
*(Joyce Meyer, "Mind, Mouth, Moods, and Attitudes," tape 2 of 4 the "Mouth")*
 
*"You know, I was listening to a set of tapes by one man and he explained it like this, and I think this kind of gets the point across, he said, ‘Why do people have such a fit about God calling His creation, His man—not His whole creation, but His man—little gods?
If He’s God, what’s He going to call them but the god-kind?’
I mean, if you as a human being have a baby, you call it a human kind.
If cattle has another cattle, they call it cattle-kind.
So, I mean, what’s God supposed to call us?  Doesn’t the Bible say we’re created in his image?
Now, you understand I am not saying you are God with a capital G." *
*(Joyce Meyer, "Authority and Opposition," Tape 1236.
Article, "What Joyce Wants Joyce Gets")*
 
*"There is no hope of anyone going to heaven unless they believe this truth I am presenting.
You cannot go to heaven unless you believe with all your heart that Jesus took your place in hell."*
*(Joyce Meyer, "The Most Important Decision You Will Ever Make," Booklet, page 37, 1991 edition)*
*Note: Did Jesus Pay For Our Sins in Hell?*
 
*"To be born again you must believe:...He went to hell in your place and gained victory there, triumphing over the enemy (Acts 2:21)."*
*(Joyce Meyer, "The Most Important Decision You Will Ever Make," Booklet, page 35-36, 2003 edition)*
 
*"Our words are containers of power.
The power of life and death is in the tongue."*
*(Joyce Meyer, "What Does Your Future Hold?" TBN, May 24, 2004)*
 
*"We can kill the plan of God for our lives with a negative confession."*
*(Joyce Meyer, "Mind, Mouth, Moods, and Attitudes," tape 2 of 4 the "Mouth")*
 
*"I want to say it again, be sure you're not killing God's good plan for your life by letting negative words come out of our mouth all of the time.
I believe that wrong words affect our health.
I would go so far as to say that there are people here today that you may be sick in your body simply because of speaking wrong words, negative words."*
*(Joyce Meyer, "Mind, Mouth, Moods, and Attitudes," tape 2 of 4 the "Mouth")*
 
*"Say this with me, 'I will not kill God's good plan for my life by speaking negative words."*
*(Joyce Meyer, "Mind, Mouth, Moods, and Attitudes," tape 2 of 4 the "Mouth")*
 
*"I want us to think again for a minute in closing about this thing about making sure that we're not killing God's plan with negative words."*
*(Joyce Meyer, "Mind, Mouth, Moods, and Attitudes," tape 2 of 4 the "Mouth")*
*Note: This is absurd to think that our words can kill a plan of an Almighty and Sovereign God.
Think about it my friend, is this not the height of arrogance to think that our words can kill what God wants to do?  *
*What does the bible have to say about the sovereign plan of God and the vain efforts of man that try to subvert it?*
*"And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?" Daniel 4:35.
*
*"The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand...For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it?
And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?"
Isaiah 14:24, 27.
See also Isaiah 8:10; 43:13; Psalm 115:3; 135:6.
Whom will you believe, God or Joyce Meyer?*
*"If I speak death I'll eat death.
If I speak life I'll eat life...I want you to say with me, 'I can destroy my life with my own words."*
*(Joyce Meyer, "Mind, Mouth, Moods, and Attitudes," tape 2 of 4 the "Mouth")*
 
*"I believe that words are containers for power and they either carry negative or positive power.
They carry creative or destructive power.
So, if I'm speaking right things I'm going to have right results.
And if I'm speaking wrong things I'm going to have wrong results.
And we do pay for our words.
If, if I can say it like this, we eat our own words."*
*(Joyce Meyer, "Mind, Mouth, Moods, and Attitudes," tape 2 of 4 the "Mouth")*
 
*"The tongue, as small as it is, is a very powerful member of the body.
Scripture indicates that the tongue gives direction to our life—either good or bad.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life] (Proverbs 18:21).
