Here is a website that Joyce Leiphon told me to stay away from:
http://kennethcopelandblog.com/2008/11/11/rev-hagins-previous-rebuke-of-copeland/
When I confronted her with this, she told me this was true. She was aware of this meeting and told me why her "spiritual father" Dr Leroy Thompson did not attend. Her inside information was that someone wanted to take the "Money Cometh" message and give it to someone else. I thought we were to follow Jesus and not some man here on earth!
I asked her about Kenneth Hagin and his last book about the abuses of the prosperity gospel entitled: The Midas Touch
Once again, she told me that I should not read that, and that Kenneth Hagin never wrote that book? She told me it was written by his son who had a vindictive spirit against her spiritual father Leroy Thompson. Funny thing is, if you search the internet, you won't find anything such as that...oh and then she told me The Midas Touch was a message from hell.
It's all about the money, simple as that. If she talked about healing, it would always lead back to how much you sowed in gifts and offerings. If she talked about salvation, it would always lead back to how much you sowed in gifts and offerings. Everything came back to money, money, money! How we couldn't do God's work without it and we were living beneath our divinity. I realize now that money is a god to those who follow Joyce Leiphon. One look at her website would show what the main focus is on Money Cometh!
I would encourage those who follow the prosperity gospel to examine their heart and motives. Do you really believe the more you give to Joyce Leiphon, the more you will be blessed by God? God doesn't need your money, but preachers like Joyce Leiphon and Leroy Thompson would tell you otherwise.
