He looks like a sheep, but underneath, he is a ravenous wolf! It's all phony. He is deceiving God's people. Read KUNDALINI WARNING - Are False Spirits Invading the Church? By Andrew Strom. God showed me that Word of Faith is operated by the Kundalini spirit. Jesse is a false prophet. This is a powerful spirit. It's a test. Read your bible. Kundalini twists the Word of God. Word of Faith tells you you need to tithe in order to be blessed. But where should you tithe? Is it definitely Jesse? Do you believe in the fruits of their ministry? So he can get even richer while you stay poor. Does he not know what he is telling you is a lie? Or it's always God's will to give you wealth and health. What about Job? His story is our story, that we will lose things in this life. Doesn't mean we don't have enough faith. Read Jesus Goes To McDonald's by Luiz Alexandre Solano Rossi. Having a great life is a lie. When you become a Christian, the devil is after you. Everyday a battle, not a cushion. Or not to question those in positions of spiritual power. Yet Paul called out false teachers! Word of Faith movement is a bunch of garbage. If you accept it, you will, like me, have years of struggle, where you are looking for a "sign" God is with you. The only sign is His Word! They talk about not being "religious," as if an empty undiscerning mind ready to accept false doctrines is the Way to accept God. You must hold on to the true doctrine. Matthew 24:10-13 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Once saved, always saved is a lie. To be saved, you must confess you are a sinner, that you put your trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior and will submit to Him in all things, including every part of your life, and with His help, that you will stop sinning. The deception here is really great! The manipulation is subtle, but with the Holy Spirit's help you can detect it. Truth mixed with lies is LIES. The positivity, the blabbing out promises without faith, the holding God hostage- Sure you can hold God hostage, but will He really find no falsehood among you? Joel Osteen is bewitching you, and lulling you to sleep. Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB4QF.... See if these teachings really stand up to the light of the Word of God.

A wonderful book filled with faith and encouragement. I love how he confronts false teachings and attitudes and brings light with love. Yes, we need to hear truth, be guided by truth and avoid the myriad of false teachings in the world today. Most of all, we must keep believing what God said yesterday and is saying today.
If you’re looking for a book that will bring encouragement, build your faith in God and direct you towards God, I would encourage you to buy and read this book. Jesse DuPlantis is a wonderful minister of the gospel who has experienced what many of us cannot even imagine. But he shares he stories and message with a heart of humor to help lost men and women find the way to salvation with grace.

Simple Belief
Only believe. So much of what we do spiritually gets bogged down by traditions and ways of thinking that can’t be found in God’s Word. So many times we allow ourselves to be convinced that God doesn’t fulfill his promises in this life. But who taught us to think that way? Our experience? Other people’s experience? Jesse’s book reveals a variety of ways we have believed a genetically altered gospel and gives us the real truth to combat these false ways of thinking. Enjoy!

As you've probably figured from reading my book reviews ... I read a lot of different types of books. As a strong Christian ... I like Christian themed books ... and this one attracted me from the title, since I believe the depth, power, and strength of Christianity has been watered down and as the title suggests "Distorted" by religions and by the world. .... This was a strong book, filled with great truths and revelations, and some good humor here and there to lighten the read. ... Duplantis, an evangelist, really nails how Christianity has been genetically altered and changed - and nails down exactly how that has happened and in what ways. He lays out a clear understanding of how intellectualism, tradition, and worldliness have invaded the church and diminished faith and a true understanding of who God is and what real faith involves. Duplantis says in the introduction. "I hope by the end of this book, you think differently ... and not just for a couple of days but for the rest of your life" I grew and gained from this book.... and will probably read it again.

Jesse is a true joy. This talks about listening to God, depending on the Bible for your standard of truth, and doing whatever God asks you to do. He always writes with great wit and joy while conveying deep truths. You'll enjoy this book.
