BeSaved ...

Wow. I watch her almost every day and have been to one of her 3 day meetings, and I have to say that I've never heard her say anything that would indicate the kind of belief that you posted. I'm not saying that she hasn't, just that I've never heard her. Uh..I'll have to listen more closely. Thanks for the heads-up gary.

For your informational purposes, i will give you some info on JM, dont rely on what i say about it personally but take the info and make your own conclusions about her ministry.

J M is a Word Faith proponent, Word Faith proponents believe and teach that man is a “little god” and as such has the same creative power of God, who spoke the world into existence. Based upon a misunderstanding of Genesis 1:26-27 (in which God makes mankind in His own image), coupled with Psalm 82:6 and John 10:34 (in which the phrase “Ye are gods” is used in reference to certain humans), Word Faith teachers have concluded that one’s words will alter or shape one’s reality.

Meyer’s seminars, books and tapes are extremely popular. Concerns are frequently raised as to whether or not she should be classified within the heretical Word Faith Movement. Though there is diversity of belief and practice among those who might be classified as, or consider themselves, part of this group, they typically will agree on several key doctrines. Meyer teaches or has taught at least four of the more prominent of these:

   1. God creates by using His faith through the power of spoken words.
   2. Man is a “little god” capable of creating in the same fashion as did God.
   3. Man, through faith-filled words, creates or causes to come to pass that which is spoken. Thus by one’s spoken words health/healing and wealth/prosperity are created.
   4. Jesus earned our redemption, not on the cross, but in hell.

J M quotes:
“Just as dogs have puppies and cats have kittens, so God has little gods. Seed remains true to nature, bearing its own kind.”

"Romans 4:17 says God gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things as if they already existed. He created the world with faith-filled words (see Genesis 1). We are created in His image, and we can also call things that are not as though they are. We can speak positive thoughts about ourselves into the atmosphere and thereby ‘prophesy our future.’
