Money Cometh to me Now! What Joyce Leiphon won't tell you

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.

  1. In looking at LOTWC site one would believe that
    Joyce has been in ministry for over 30yr.In the
    Word of God in 1Tim 3:6 say a man should not be
    a new convert.In acts9 Paul after been saved he
    spent several days with the disciples,and then he began to proclaim Jesus, saying He is the Son
    of God.Paul knew the Word of God beening a
    Pharisee.Now Joyce beening raised a Roman Catholic did not.All of her family knows that
    she has not been in the ministry 30 plus yrs.
    Rev.20 and 21 says what will happen to all liars
    and who practices lying.Her father would be rolling over in his grave if he could see what
    she has become He knew Jesus and the VOICE of
    the Lord and the fruit of his ministry was
    people beening saved and baptised in the Holy
    Spirit.Not told you need to give to pastor so
    they can get rich then you can get rich.Jesus
    has all the riches He want each person to come
    to Him it is not about MONEY.

  2. Anonymous: Great this is so true. Joyce's dad would do all he could if he were still alive to get this group closed down. He was so greatful that the LORD saved him. Joyce is a disgrace to the memory to our dad and all he stood for. As a matter of fact he told us all that the way preachers are preaching about tithes and offerings today is wrong. He believed you gave as the LORD placed how much and to whom to give. The money you give is for the preaching of the Gospel not making you or anyone else rich. My dad was a real giver like Peter he told many Silver and Gold I have none but what I have I give unto you. Many families where we live have been touched by the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ and him crucified that dad preached. He never asked for money since his gift of salvation was give to him freely meaning no charge. Any one who has to be paid to preach the Gospel of Our LOrd Jesus Christ is a hireling and not looking out for the sheep. they are out only to line their own pockets. I pray all who are following this group start reading the Bible and asking the Only teacher we should have to show them the truth. YOu are not receiving the truth from Joyce Leiphon and other preaching like her. A little leaven leaven the whole loaf. So when she preaches money cometh to me now she is adding a lot of leaven to the loaf. Wake up before it is to late. I do not need the wealth of the world to know my standing with the LORD. People everywhere can see the Joy of the LORD on face. I have every need met by my LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. All I have to do is tell the Father what I have need of and He takes care of it. Like you said Dad would be rolling over in his grave if he knew what she was preaching!!! He knew she was not preacher material and Knowing dad he had told her so.

  3. 2 Peter 2:
    there were also false prophets among the people even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring a destructive heresies even denying the LORD who bought them and bring on themselves swift destruction. 
    I truly believe when someone calls themselves a preacher of the Gospel yet they consider that they have attained the prize and believe they are little g gods they are denying Jesus Christ and him Crucified. When they preach money cometh to me now they are actually saying that Jesus Christ is not as Good as His Word that HE in fact did not do enough by his death and burial and resurrection. That these people teach to name and claim the desires of your heart so you may have all that you want. I suggest that you all read the Whole 2nd chapter of 2 Peter 2: If you are truly one of Christs you will seek the truth from the Power and working of the HOLY SPIRIT not another man. Yes the LORD will use man to bring the truth that GOD so love the World HE gave HIS ONLY SON that WHOMSOEVER will believe on Him will have eternal life. The HOLY SPIRIT is the teacher. Stop looking at man to tell you what the Word of God says. Read the Third Chapter of Galatians ask the Holy Spirit to show you HIS truth.

  4. Romans 5:6-11 For when we were still without strength in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.8. but God demonstrates His own love towards us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10. For when we were enemies we were reconciled to God though the death of His Son much more having been reconciled we shall be save by His life. 11. Not only that be we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

    Now my question to all who follow Joyce Leiphon and others who are following this false teaching, can you explain to me why I have to pay the preacher so much money in order to have a life filled with the love of Christ. I believe this is what is being taught. You have to pay your way into the KINGDOM of GOD. How can you become a little g god such as Joyce believes she is? Has she died for anyone? How much do you have to give before you are sure you are one of His? No one seems to want to answer this question. I truly believe many who are following Joyce are reading this blog. I will not at this time say why I believe this to be true. I am trying hard to understand why she or anyone would follow such teaching when it truly is contrary to the Word of God. I just do not understand.

  5. well the way I look at it either the people who are following this cult leader is either so greedy themselves they do not want to see the truth in the Word of God or they are so blinded by the spirit behind these so called preachers that out of fear they will do only what the preachers says. It is a terrible think to be afraid. But Jesus does say perfect love cast out all fear. so I would be looking for another preacher. I know people who go to this church since I can't accept this money thing they will not discuss what they are actually taught. So sad I pray that the Mercy of God will bring those who are truly his out of this. You have a free will to chose. If something is tugging at you that something just isn't right you should get out of the mess.

  6. Jesus said in Luke 22:25 The kings of the gentiles lord it over them; and those who have authority over them are called 'Benefactors.'26
    But not so with you,but let him who is greatest
    among you become as the youngest,and the leader
    as the servant.Jesus waited on the table washed
    their feet, and He ie THE GREATEST.Go to Blue
    Letter Bible.Com in the concordance look up
    benefactors while there check out the commentaries.Also in Eph.4:11 the 5fold ministries for the equipping of the saints. Joyce is not the gift that fills all of these
    offices in the Body of Christ.

  8. Corruption of the Leadership ( Ezek 34:1-10
    Having chosen to hear men rather the God ( Joyce Leiphon), the people soon were hearing lies (Jer 9:3). Ezwekiel 34:1-10 exposed the wickedness and depravity into which the leader and sunk. They used their offices and ministries only for what they could get for themselves, not to serve the people. They did not feed the flock, but rather they fed themselves. In His fury, god set Himself against these evil shepherds, vowing to take the sheep from them and put and end to this ruthless exploitation. The shepherd analogy is retain in the restoration promise with which God follows these censuring statements. " For this says the LORD God: " Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his own flock so will I seek our My sheep (vv. 11,12) God then and now wants His people to be directly related to Him, hearing Him responding to Him and living from His abundant life.He has never wavered from His commitment to restore the intimate love relationship that was lost in Eden.

    Just like when Moses brought the children of Israel out of Egypt they did not want to see or hear anything from God they wanted Moses to bring back the Word of God for them. Today it is the same way no one want to develop a real relationship with the LORD through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit so they can hear from God directly. Instead they worship their false god their pastor. God did not intend for any one to lord over another. HE is God not Joyce Leiphon or any other preacher. We are all blood and bones and all have a sin nature. Some who do depend on the Most Holy God to lead and direct them in the way they should go have learned as the Apostle Paul did that we must die daily to our self and pick up the cross daily. It is so sad that the Judgment of God will come upon this country of ours because the church as a whole is teaching the name it and claim it and the money gospel instead of Jesus Christ and HIM Crucified!!!!! Joyce Leiphon is just a human being with a sin nature that she has not allow Jesus to nail to HIS Cross. Please read the scripture for yourselves and ask God to give you What he wants you to understand. Place your trust only in the Word of God and do not allow your preach to keep stealing from you. She will answer to God for leading you astray from Him however you will answer to him for not hearing HIS voice but listening to her. He ( God) has not called Joyce Leiphon to be a preacher. Seek HIs face he will tell you the truth not more lies and half truths.

  9. I was just listening to Frances and Friends on jsm.org. Well I realize now where the money cometh to me now gospel started. I thought Leroy Thompson was just following the same of name it an claim it doctrine that has been around for quite some time now. One of the panel stated that this was a North American gospel. IF they took this to the poor countries in Africa they would not get any money. It is nothing but totally a greed doctrine it truly is not scriptural. It is so sad the members of my family who should no better if nothing else from what Our dad told us all about the false doctrine going around in the 70's when we got saved. Joyce wake up. Jesus Christ and Him Crucified is the ONLY TRUE GOSPEL. Like I asked you in a private letter " why have you left your first love". so now that I think about it you are serving your first love "MONEY". You can not have the Love of Jesus in your heart and preach this junk. Yeah I know you preach a little Jesus but mostly about how to worship the gift. You are the gift to the people attending your group. While Jesus should be the Gift you are preaching it is only Money and what you can gain from the wealth of this world. We are not called to be of this world which is what Joyce is preaching. We are called to be separated from this world while living in the world

  10. Plese help me to understand how all this works. Joyce convinces all of these people in her church that giving her money will make them rich. So they give all of their money to her. Anyne with half a brain knows that Joyce is not going to turn around and give this money back. And it's a pretty sure bet that God is not going to drop down from the Heavens and start handing out wads of cash to all these people at LOTWC. So just exactly how will all of these peole at LOTWC get rich? Just where is all this money going to come from that Joyce has promised them. Do any of these church folks have sense enough to know that if they give Joyce money, that they will never see it again, that it's all going into her purse or bank account?

    ReplyDelete
  11. The people who go to this church are not going to get rich, unless they hit the lottery. Why they don't have the simple intelligence to figure that out is a mystery. Their pastor must have them totally brainwashed. She probably really does have them convinced that God will drop from the Heavens and start handing out big bucks.

    1. I believe the problems is the fact that the one following Joyce Leiphon and others like her are being deceived just like Eve in the Garden. Now as far as Joyce Leiphon and other preaching the money gospel is it nothing but sin and it is call covetousness. I go to the blueletterbible.org and put scriptures in and then I can get different commentaries explaining what the Greek and Hebrew meaning of different words and passages of the Word of God. look up Gal 3 on this site and you will find more truth probably then you could ever get from listening to Joyce Leiphon. Every Word this so called preacher should line up with the Word of God in context and if not you should reject all she says. You know the devil does not come to us looking like the evil he is but the Word of God says " he comes to steal kill and destroy" He comes as an " angel of light". When you are so full of yourself that you are the only one that can discern the Word of God for your followers or you are the only one God speaks to since you are the only one with the " anointing" that tells me all of you following this teaching is in real danger of not only loosing all you own but also your very soul. The Money gospel will take you to hell as you are not depending on the HOLY SPIRIT of God to lead and guide you into all truth. I love all you who are following this junk and it is the responsibility of all who are called by his name to speak out against false teachers. If I knowing the truth did not put the truth of God out for all to see and also speak to my family members who are following this lie from the pit of hell their blood would be on my hands. However since I have written them and email them and asked them to show me how they can come up with all they believe in the context of the Word of God yet they refuse to discuss it with me. Well I will discuss the Word of God with anyone who will listen and if I am in error and I am shown my error in the Word of God I will seek the Face of God and ask HIM to show me the error. JOyce and her follower will not do this. I am sure the are convinced they will not get the money they have been promised. All liars will be in hell it doesn't matter how much you say you love the LORD an are serving him.

  12. If the followers are, in fact, convinced that they will not get the money they have been promised, then why do they keep handing over everything to their pastor? The only reason I can think of is that this is such a dangerous cult and Joyce has these poor people so brainwashed, that they are actually afraid of her or afraid of what will happen to them if they do leave.

  13. They have probably been brainwashed to believe that some horrible, horrible misfortune will befall them if they dare stop worshiping the Almighty God Joyce Leiphon. And this woman is such a sociopath that she thoroughly relishes this power and control over others.

  14. A person who has the right relationship with God
    lives a life as natural as breathing wherever he
    goes. The lives that have been the greatest blessing to you are the lives of those people who themselves were unaware of haveing been a
    blessing.(John 7:8,Colossians 3:3)
    If you want a blessing get the book My Utmost
    for his Highist by Oswald Chambers.
    If you want even more of a blessing go to jsm.
    org and look up teachings by Loren Larson the
    one for Aug.22nd 2012 Wed night service very

  15. I was talking to my daughter the other day. She was at Joyce's group a while back. She told me that Joyce has to have to people to stand beside her as she gets " so drunk" supposedly on the spirit that she is falling around and then she blows on the people. I was seeking the LORD this morning and I was brought to the 29th chapter of Isaiah. Isaiah 29:9 says Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunk, but not with wine; They stagger but not with intoxication drink. For the LORD has poured out on you The spirit of deep sleep and has closed your eyes namely prophets and he has covered your heads namely the seers. Read it for your self. I know these word are written to Israel but it applies to all of us who are in rebellion. According to what I understand from the word of God anyone who does not place all their trust in what Jesus Chris did at the finished work of Calvary is in a state of rebellion. they like the Jews Isaiah is talking to are not depending on the LORD for all their needs to be met. The greatest being Salvation through the blood atonement of the Only SON of God Jesus Christ. Joyce is in rebellion if you are following her you also are in rebellion. Blunt and to the point well some time we have to be that way to get people to wake up before it is to late. The Word of God is all about Jesus not about what a man or a woman says or does. You guys and dolls following Joyce Leiphon you should talk to some of those who have left this group. Many have lost their way because of this teacher but there are many who have found the truth and are being blessed beyond their dreams. Praise God.

  16. I do remember hearing from a former member of this group that they were involved in this group out of their own greed. However they did not realize it was greed until they left this group. Yes Joyce has preached doctrines that is contrary to the Word of God. The only doctrine that means anything is Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. Yes I am sure they who are following her are afraid to stop giving as they will not get their money. Also from what I understand with this teaching she and the rest of the one preaching this false doctrine are telling people they will not only loose their money they have invested but also will loose their salvation. I could be wrong but this is my understanding. The only way to get out of this false doctrine is to seek the Face of Almighty God and ask HIM to show you the truth. We have a teacher who is not a human therefore can only teach the truth unlike humans. This Teacher is the HOLY SPIRIT. IF you ask God to give You His wisdom and knowledge and revelation of HIs word He will. Eph 1:17-21. We only need to summit ourselves to the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Not to Joyce Leiphon or any other human. I owe no man anything but love. I speak the truth according to the Word of God not my flesh. It is by the Blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ). That set men free from the law sin and death. (law is anything that takes the place of Jesus Christ and Him crucified). Even if the preacher is saying they are teaching you how to live a life in Christ if they are preaching money cometh to me now or name it and claim it they are preaching a false gospel in other word they are preaching another Jesus other then the ONLY SON of the Most High God. Sorry Joyce you are not a god of any kind. Well at least not in the family of the MOST HIGH GOD.

  17. ‪ The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader and (whether he is alive or dead) regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the Truth, as law.
    ‪ Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
    ‪ Mind-altering practices (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, and debilitating work routines) are used in excess and serve to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
    ‪ The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel (for example, members must get permission to date, change jobs, marry—or leaders prescribe what types of clothes to wear, where to live, whether or not to have children, how to discipline children, and so forth).
    ‪ The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s) and members (for example, the leader is considered the Messiah, a special being, an avatar—or the group and/or the leader is on a special mission to save humanity).
    ‪ The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society.
    ‪ The leader is not accountable to any authorities (unlike, for example, teachers, military commanders or ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream religious denominations).
    ‪ The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify whatever means it deems necessary. This may result in members' participating in behaviors or activities they would have considered reprehensible or unethical before joining the group (for example, lying to family or friends, or collecting money for bogus charities).
    ‪ The leadership induces feelings of shame and/or guilt iin order to influence and/or control members. Often, this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion.
    ‪ Subservience to the leader or group requires members to cut ties with family and friends, and radically alter the personal goals and activities they had before joining the group.
    ‪ The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
    ‪ The group is preoccupied with making money.
    ‪ Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group and group-related activities.
    ‪ Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.
    ‪ The most loyal members (the “true believers”) feel there can be no life outside the context of the group. They believe there is no other way to be, and often fear reprisals to themselves or others if they leave (or even consider leaving) the group.

  19. TO anonymous,"does this sound like your group".
    John 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know
    them,and they follow Me".If you are His you will
    follow man only if he is teaching the Word of God in context, truth that brings you closer to Jesus.Heb.8:11 And they shall not teach everyone
    his brother,saying know the Lord, For shall know Me, from the least to the Greatest of them.
    In Heb.12 it speaks of the father giveing instruction and discipline,that is God not man.
    If we want truth and we ask Him He will show it to us.Read John14 Jesus is the Truth,the Way and the Life.Promises if we abide in His Word He
    and the Father would abide with us.Also would send The Holy Spirit to teach us the Truth.If you are not at Peace were you are,you are in the wrong place if you are His.Ask him and he will
    lead you to were He want you to be,what local
    body that he want you to be a part of.Not where
    you have decided to go.Not bless what I have decided to do.

  22. Great word anonymus gald you were delivered by
    The Lord.If anyone is searching for the truth
    about the word of faith ministries check out
    their roots.Also get the book "A different

    the Modern Faith Movement by D.R. McConnell.
    Takes their teachings and public records and
    compares them to the Bible.See who really is the

  23. I heard a preacher talking about the word of faith teaching which I believe is out of Kenneth Copeland. this preacher said that in some of the doctrine they say that Jesus Died spiritually. That Jesus went to hell and the devil tortured him for three days and night then God said thats enough. That Jesus was the first born-again man. This is a very twisted way to Present the LORD Jesus. Twisted by men and woman who are in love with themselves wanting like Adam and Eve to be as god so now they believe they are god. So sad
    And they use the scripture in Phil 2:5-6 where it says let this mind that was in Christ also be in you. Who being in the form of God did not consider it robbery to be equal with God. The word of Faiths teacher as saying that since the Apostle wrote this passage then we also can be little gods.

    I just wondered how many has ever read the rest of the Chapter to see what was in the mind of Christ. Verse 7 says he made himself of no reputation taking the form of a bond servant. and coming in the likeness of men. You can read the rest but this tells me that His mind was on what HE came into the world in the form of a man to do. That was to die on the Cross and the last sacrifice needed for the forgiveness of sin which opened the gates of heaven for all that believe in Christ. So I truly believe unless you repent those who are following the Word of Faith and the money preachers do you really know what you are trusting you very soul to? The Whole bible is the story of Jesus. The whole bible tells us what will happen to those who place their trust in anything other then Jesus Christ and Him crucified. It is so sad that History repents its self and no one seems to learn. The Jews rejected Christ as their Savior and now the gentiles who are preaching money cometh to me now and the word of faith doctrine is rejecting Jesus Christ as the Savior of the World. It is truly sad that we as a people called to be one of his are only His in name only. When was the last time you gave to the poor. when was the last you visited the sick when was the last time you visited someone in prison. Jesus came for us who knew we were lost and needed a savior. Read it in the Gospels He did not come for the one who were so self-righteous. I am so glad my Jesus called me in to the family of the living God and kept me out of the word of faith false doctrine and the money gospel. I praise my God and Savior the Lord Jesus Christ and HIM Crucified that my sins are forgiven and remembered no more. I am a child of the most high God through the power and working of The Holy Spirit by the Shed Blood of the ONLY SON OF GOD Jesus Christ. The shed Blood of Jesus Christ gave the HOLY Spirit the legal right to come in and allow Jesus to live HIS live through us. Not us going on doing just as we have always done but allowing Jesus to change us from the inside out. I know this can happen as I am no longer the same person I was even ten years ago. The Lord has blessed me beyond anything I have ever expected. I know he knows my name. Do you know for sure He knows your name?

  24. Just received an email concerning tithing. This person did not understand what tithing was all about however since reading these blogs they have realized the importance of placing the tithe and offering with the Man of God who is preaching the truth not some fable. You can find out from the HOLY SPIRIT where He wants you to place your support. Another thing I would like to tell you as I read all the scriptures concerning the tithe one thing stuck in my mind. The tithe was always from your increase not from the wages earned or as the Word of God says " sweat of your brow". Today Jesus Christ is our storehouse unlike in the old Covenant. So all you guys and dolls giving your "tithes and offering into the storehouse" as so many preach. Ask the LORD to tell you where to put you tithes. You know the LORD wants all of you not just your money. He wants your time talent and your resources. He wants all of you, Yes we do support the ministry of those who are Called of the Most High God but every one preaching is not called of God but out of their own need to be placed on a pedestal and to be worshiped. The fact that is Jesus Christ paid the debt that we all owed the Most High God for our sins. He obeyed every factor of the Law of God. His Shed Blood brought us out of darkness into the marvelous Light which of Course is Christ and Him crucified.

  25. Wanted to write what I believe the Book of Ephesians says about the HOLY SPIRIT. I did not find this on my own but with the study helps that is in my bible.
    " As with Christ the Holy Spirit is revealed in widely varied ministry to and through the believer. In 1:13 He is the Sealer, authorizing the believer to represent Christ; in 1:17 and in 3:5 He is the Revealer, enlightening the heart to perceive God's purpose; in 3:16He is the Empowerer whom Christ give to strengthen within; 4:3,4 He is the Spirit of Unity desiring to sustain the bond of peace in the body of Christ; in 4:30 He is the Spirit of holiness who may be grieved by insistence on carnal pursuits; 5:18 He is the Fountain, from which all are to be continuously filled; in 6:17,18 He is the Giveer of the Word as a sword for battle and the heavenly Assistant given to aid us in prayer and intercession until victory is won.
    I need to study this book more then I have recently however I believe the above will help us all understand a little more clearly what we are reading. Thanks to the power of the HOLY SPIRIT and his Word
