As Mother's Day approaches once again this weekend, I want to extend a Happy Mother's Day to all. Mom's are very special people, but if you are part of Light of the World Church in Ft Pierce, FL. Mother's Day takes on a different meaning.
While I was there, we would plan a mother's day celebration, not for the mom's in the church, but for Joyce Leiphon the pastor of LOTWC. This is how it works:
All of the core group would receive an email from one of Joyce's assistants extolling the virtues of the pastor and how much of a blessing to us she is and how she means so much to us etc. We would have a list of items of appreciation to contribute to. All these items were approved by Joyce herself or a close family member. Actually there was a "gift fund" we would put additional monies in each week/month for these special occasion's. This in addition to the other offerings to Joyce Leiphon. I remember we had a private meeting and some of the families who were struggling in their finances wanted to make something simple, you know, something from the heart, a simple card or handmade gift. A big NO was the answer they got! Our pastor deserves the very best and we will not do anything less than that!
So on Mother's Day, Joyce Leiphon would receive lavish gifts, one year it was a big screen tv, an I-pad, cash money etc. The leadership, (I was one) would give a small speech and sing a song to her for all she did for us. Imagine that, a song of praise to a person, (I've since repented and sing only songs of praise to the only one of whom all praise is deserved!) Then, those who wanted to say something and give her a gift would be able to speak. One of the only times anyone was able to speak (with gift in hand). We would even call Joyce Leiphon our "spiritual mother". The spiritual mother thing always bothered me and even then I was uncomfortable calling Joyce Leiphon, "Mom".
I'm not against showing appreciation to anyone, however in the case of hijacking Mother's Day and using it to take more money in the name of Jesus is just plain WRONG! Calling Joyce Leiphon "my spiritual mother" was off base and elevating her to a higher level than deserved was totally WRONG!
I'm glad and thanks be to God that my eyes were opened and set free from this false gospel that is really a cult. Celebrate your Mom this weekend. Joyce Leiphon, you are not special and do not deserve the worship you demand from your followers. Hijacking Mother's Day is another example of why I left this cult.

The more I listen to Joyce Leiphon take the word of God out of context I have realize that she is totally without understanding of what the truth of the Word of God is!!If you want to get the true Gospel of Jesus Christ out to the Lost do you do it by preaching money? Oh I know her thoughts are that if you want to get rich people in your church you have to be rich also. I wonder if that is the reason she went to a conference last month in Atlanta "How to Grow your business" I don't remember the name of the conference but it wasn't a MC2U thing. You are her business. She wants you to give your money to her on the pretext of sowing into the KINGDOM. However, the Kingdom age will not arrive until Jesus Christ 2nd coming. I can see now that she wants $10,000 of your money to give to her god which is Leroy Thompson. Why do you go to the middle man why don't you just cut her out and you give it to her god. Maybe if you give him enough he will set you up in your own business like he has Joyce. So sad she can only preach half truths and lies. If you truly want the blessing of God please cry out to Him with a contrite heart and I know He will supply all your need,. Doesn't anyone following this preacher realize that if you have Jesus Christ as your LORD and Savior and you have a real real personal relationship with HIM He has already given to all you need you just have to ask and have your faith and trust totally in HIM and not in MONEY COMETH. This is a false gospel only wanting your money. How long has it been since you give this preacher $50,000 and you are still waiting. I have never had to wait four or five years or longer for the LORD to supply all my need. God will not honor covetousness. I know Joyce is saying it is not greed or covetousness but she is telling you what you want to hear in order to get YOUR money so she can be RICH. You will never be rich only the one at the top of the pyramid. So instead of giving your money to her give it where you can become the one preaching this lie
ReplyDeleteJust come in form church and you know it is such a blessing to hear the " Good News" the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ instead of "money". The "spirit of mammon" which is riches and money and material things. When Money is preached instead of the true Good news Gospel you are in danger of not only loosing what money you have but also you soul. Now Jesus Christ died on the Cross so all men could be redeem from the law of sin and death. We are to place all out trust and Faith in HIM (Christ). Now if you have to holler Money cometh and write it on your check to me that shows me you have no faith at all in the finished work of Jesus on the Cross. So keep throwing your money to the money god and if you do not repent you will reap just what you have sown. It isn't the will of God for anyone to seek to be wealthy for any reason not even for HIM. He can make whomever he choose to be wealthy. It is His will for you to trust in HIS Son. For Him to be your God not some man and not the god of this world through your sowing money to false teachers,. It is so sad that many are following the lie instead of trusting in the One and Only Living God to supply all your need.
ReplyDeleteWho do you have your faith and trust in when you believe that you have the only truth of the Word of God. How can you even believe that you have all the revelation of The Holy Spirit and you are right and everyone who does not believe what you and your man of Gwad teach is wrong. I have to admit that I do not know all there is to know in the word of God. I also know that we all continue if we are truly lead by the Spirit of God to learn. If we believe we have attained all knowledge and people following what I teach are the chosen few what would that say about what I am teaching? Even Peter took correction and He walked with Jesus while on this earth. Paul as far as the Scripture reveals never heard Jesus speak of even saw Him before the Damascus Road experience. yet Paul corrected Peter for being a hypocrite by going back under the law. Now if Peter can take correction since he walked with Jesus on this earth why is it so difficult for those who claimed to be called of God to Preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ cannot take correction? Many have come to Joyce Leiphon to show the error of her way and she refuses to take correction. Is it pride or is it the love of money? Does she really believe she has become HIM. Does she think she has it all in this life when scripture tells us we only have a part of what is the Whole. 1 cor 13:9. What does the Word of God say about false teachers and all those who are following them. You who are throwing your money into this ministry will reap what you have sown. Are you ready to reap what Greed and Covetousness brings. Your preacher will not answer for your greed only her own. So to all following this preacher. I ask you to prove me wrong when I say Money cometh to the body of Christ is nothing but greed and covetousness. Joyce can't she will not even try. While she has the backing of Leroy I have the backing of the LIVING GOD not a mere man. Prove me wrong with scripture in context of what is written. Not out of context as this and other preachers do. YOU who are following this money gospel are following the Spirit of " Mammon." Yeah I know you are saying you are wanting money to further the gospel to the lost but in your heart God knows the truth and I do believe deep down so do you. IF you would study the Word of God for yourself especially the Book of Roman you will find the truth of God and His word for yourself with the power of the HOLY SPIRIT leading you, not some man or woman
ReplyDeletereading the post of this blog I have been reading the Word of God looking for the scripture where it proves God wants certain ones to be rich. I can not find Money cometh to the body of Christ anywhere. In my own personal study of all the Books of the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation it is no where to be found however, I have found that we can not put words in the mouth of God and think we will be bless. I look at it like this everything belongs to God he allows us to use what he gives each of us to use. When we take the Word of God out of context in which it is written we are in danger of losing everything including our souls. Rev:22:18,19 has a stern warning to anyone who adds to or takes away from this book. Well I don't know for sure if it is talking just about the book or Rev or if it is the whole bible. I prefer to believe that anytime you change the meaning of the Word of God to what you want it to mean you are in danger of all the Plagues of Egypt. You I believe have a spirit of unbelief you do not trust that Jesus Christ has done what He said he did.
ReplyDeleteTitus 1:15 " they profess to know God but in works they being deny HIM., being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work."
ReplyDelete(Growing in Godliness) Titus calls us to Understand that legalism actually disqualifies you for good works. Do good woks in response to the grace of Jesus Christ. When we do things out of legalism to try to earn salvation or favor ( Money) with God, essentially we are saying Christ's work on the cross was not enough. When anyone teaches we have a right to claim all that God has for us now in this life we are in fact telling God we want what we want not regardless of What Gods plan for each of us is. We only have PART if what Jesus Death on the Cross brings to us. Isn't knowing HIM and the Fact the Our sins are forgiven those who place all their trust and faith in the Shed Blood of the living sacrifice of Jesus Christ. He of course is not dead but raised from the Dead. has Money and wealth become your god?
The Habit of Enjoying Adversity
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD FROM MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST FOR TODAY
05142013
. . . that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body —2 Corinthians 4:10
We have to develop godly habits to express what God’s grace has done in us. It is not just a question of being saved from hell, but of being saved so that “the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.” And it is adversity that makes us exhibit His life in our mortal flesh. Is my life exhibiting the essence of the sweetness of the Son of God, or just the basic irritation of “myself” that I would have apart from Him? The only thing that will enable me to enjoy adversity is the acute sense of eagerness of allowing the life of the Son of God to evidence itself in me. No matter how difficult something may be, I must say, “Lord, I am delighted to obey You in this.” Instantly, the Son of God will move to the forefront of my life, and will manifest in my body that which glorifies Him.
You must not debate. The moment you obey the light of God, His Son shines through you in that very adversity; but if you debate with God, you grieve His Spirit (see Ephesians 4:30). You must keep yourself in the proper condition to allow the life of the Son of God to be manifested in you, and you cannot keep yourself fit if you give way to self-pity. Our circumstances are the means God uses to exhibit just how wonderfully perfect and extraordinarily pure His Son is. Discovering a new way of manifesting the Son of God should make our heart beat with renewed excitement. It is one thing to choose adversity, and quite another to enter into adversity through the orchestrating of our circumstances by God’s sovereignty. And if God puts you into adversity, He is adequately sufficient to “supply all your need” (Philippians 4:19).
Keep your soul properly conditioned to manifest the life of the Son of God. Never live on your memories of past experiences, but let the Word of God always be living and active in you.
Now if you are following the Word of Faith doctrine you can not agree with the above statement because you claim that the devil is the only one that brings adversity into your life. The above scripture says that OUR God brings adversity into our life to bring death to self, so that Jesus can live His life through us. If we will not lay down our life, He will not live His life through us.It's our life or His.
ReplyDeleteJesus did only the will of God. And as we submit our will as He did, He lives.
Have you ever noticed that when you rebuke the devil the adversity doesn't buke? God the Father of Our Jesus Christ will bring all things into subjection to HIS word regardless what Man has to say about it. GOD IS SOVEREIGN MAN IS NOT. We have not yet receive the Glorified Body in this life. Therefore be careful who you believe. Look at the source. Are you truly following the true Word of God or are you following what some man says God has told him. we can not create anything by our spoken word. It is only as the Spirit wills and we do not control the Holy Spirit of God. We cannot make Him say what we want Him to say to prove us right.
ReplyDelete.A successful ministry is one that brings it's members to a relationship with The Lord, that He leads and guides and talks to them, because He lives in them. That they are not depending on the minister to walk with The Lord. The minister is only with the members a few hours a week, if born again Jesus is with one 7/24.
Oswald Chamber lived from 1874-1917 and if you would read his material you would realize this is what He has taught and still holds true for today. We each one has to have an intimate personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Depending on the Holy Spirit to lead, guide and teach
. . . that you may know what is the hope of His calling . . . —Ephesians 1:18 Taken from MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST FOR MAY 15TH
ReplyDeleteRemember that you have been saved so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in your body (see 2 Corinthians 4:10). Direct the total energy of your powers so that you may achieve everything your election as a child of God provides; rise every time to whatever occasion may come your way.
You did not do anything to achieve your salvation, but you must do something to exhibit it. You must “work out your own salvation” which God has worked in you already (Philippians 2:12). Are your speech, your thinking, and your emotions evidence that you are working it “out”? If you are still the same miserable, grouchy person, set on having your own way, then it is a lie to say that God has saved and sanctified you.
God is the Master Designer, and He allows adversities into your life to see if you can jump over them properly—”By my God I can leap over a wall” (Psalm 18:29). God will never shield you from the requirements of being His son or daughter. First Peter 4:12 says, “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you . . . .” Rise to the occasion—do what the trial demands of you. It does not matter how much it hurts as long as it gives God the opportunity to manifest the life of Jesus in your body.
May God not find complaints in us anymore, but spiritual vitality—a readiness to face anything He brings our way. The only proper goal of life is that we manifest the Son of God; and when this occurs, all of our dictating of our demands to God disappears. Our Lord never dictated demands to His Father, and neither are we to make demands on God. We are here to submit to His will so that He may work through us what He wants. Once we realize this, He will make us broken bread and poured-out wine with which to feed and nourish others.
Are you in a "religion" where you are told not to read or listen to any other preaching? Are you told that if you do not understand a passage of Scripture you have to believe what Your preacher tells you to believe concerning that scripture? If this is your preacher I would suggest you find another group to worship with. You see the HOLY SPIRIT is the only true teacher of the Word Of God. You see through the Power of the HOLY SPIRIT the Word of God ( JESUS) was written so all generations would have HIS WORD. My question to you is why do you depend a mere man or woman to tell you what Jesus wants you to know.
ReplyDeleteRomans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His PURPOSE." Now I understand this to me, is the purpose of God the Father, in Sending His Son Jesus to be the atoning sacrifice to all men. That was God's plan and purpose before the foundation of the World. Not as some preachers preach that the purpose of God is to make them rich. It is so sad that so many preachers today do not have the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit but the guidance of mere man. No revelation outside the Word of God is from God. Money cometh to the body of Christ is not a revelation from the Spirit of God. IF any man or woman preach any other Gospel other then the one Paul preached let him be " accursed". Gal 1:1-10. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is that; Jesus Christ and him crucified. Not money cometh and we have become little g "gods." We cannot make God do as we declare. He won't even make you do what He knows is right. He Created man as a free moral agent that means with a free will to choose our own way as Adam and Eve did or Choose to Follow Christ as Paul preached.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the blog and listening the teaching of LOTWC. I went and looked up E. W Kenyon ,and Kenneth Hagin and after comparing their teaching with the Bible, and when you get the
ReplyDeleteAtonement wrong everything else is wrong.Thus since LOTWC is based on what these men taught,one can see their error. If you want to know the truth do your own study.Since I know
Joyce and her family, and they know that Joyce has not been in ministry for thirty plus years, nor given her money for twenty or thirty years. It is a big con and some of the family are part of it.
They Know when she is lying. They all will answer to God. Four or Five failed marriages, and really walking being led by The Holy Spirit, come on. If she can speak things in to existence, why so
Many failed marriages? Time for those at light of the world to do some soul searching, and looking in the Word of God in context of what it teaches, ask The Lord and He will show you the truth, if you really want it. In Jesus Love JC
what do you think of any preacher that will tell you that communicate means giving. And the giving goes to her so she can give to her man of God so she can teach you how to get from god. Read and look up what communicate really means. If she was obeying God she would be helping you who follow her to gain all that is the blessing of God in Jesus Christ: aren't any of you tired of being lied to yet? Never never take mans word for what the true Word of God Says.
ReplyDeleteDoes Joyce Liephon freely give to any of you? I am sure she does not. You have to give to her and someone else will give to you. What a lie from the pit of hell. She is working the World system on you and you are falling for it hook line an sinker. Jesus Christ is all the Blessing we will ever need on this earth. IF WE ARE HIS

The Habit of Recognizing God’s Provision
ReplyDelete. . . you may be partakers of the divine nature . . . —2 Peter 1:4
We are made “partakers of the divine nature,” receiving and sharing God’s own nature through His promises. Then we have to work that divine nature into our human nature by developing godly habits. The first habit to develop is the habit of recognizing God’s provision for us. We say, however, “Oh, I can’t afford it.” One of the worst lies is wrapped up in that statement. We talk as if our heavenly Father has cut us off without a penny! We think it is a sign of true humility to say at the end of the day, “Well, I just barely got by today, but it was a severe struggle.” And yet all of Almighty God is ours in the Lord Jesus! And He will reach to the last grain of sand and the remotest star to bless us if we will only obey Him. Does it really matter that our circumstances are difficult? Why shouldn’t they be! If we give way to self-pity and indulge in the luxury of misery, we remove God’s riches from our lives and hinder others from entering into His provision. No sin is worse than the sin of self-pity, because it removes God from the throne of our lives, replacing Him with our own self-interests. It causes us to open our mouths only to complain, and we simply become spiritual sponges— always absorbing, never giving, and never being satisfied. And there is nothing lovely or generous about our lives.
Before God becomes satisfied with us, He will take everything of our so-called wealth, until we learn that He is our Source; as the psalmist said, “All my springs are in You” (Psalm 87:7). If the majesty, grace, and power of God are not being exhibited in us, God holds us responsible. “God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you . . . may have an abundance . . .” (2 Corinthians 9:8)— then learn to lavish the grace of God on others, generously giving of yourself. Be marked and identified with God’s nature, and His blessing will flow through you all the time.
if one will do it God's way they can walk without FEAR of what they say.And they give out of blessing that God gives them. And it is not just money. But your FOCUS is on God not self.
His Ascension and Our Access
ReplyDelete05172013
It came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven —Luke 24:51
We have no experiences in our lives that correspond to the events in our Lord’s life after the transfiguration. From that moment forward His life was altogether substitutionary. Up to the time of the transfiguration, He had exhibited the normal, perfect life of a man. But from the transfiguration forward— Gethsemane, the Cross, the resurrection— everything is unfamiliar to us. His Cross is the door by which every member of the human race can enter into the life of God; by His resurrection He has the right to give eternal life to anyone, and by His ascension our Lord entered heaven, keeping the door open for humanity.
The transfiguration was completed on the Mount of Ascension. If Jesus had gone to heaven directly from the Mount of Transfiguration, He would have gone alone. He would have been nothing more to us than a glorious Figure. But He turned His back on the glory, and came down from the mountain to identify Himself with fallen humanity.
The ascension is the complete fulfillment of the transfiguration. Our Lord returned to His original glory, but not simply as the Son of God— He returned to His father as the Son of Man as well. There is now freedom of access for anyone straight to the very throne of God because of the ascension of the Son of Man. As the Son of Man, Jesus Christ deliberately limited His omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience. But now they are His in absolute, full power. As the Son of Man, Jesus Christ now has all the power at the throne of God. From His ascension forward He is the King of kings and Lord of lords.

SALVATION — deliverance from the power of sin; redemption.
ReplyDeleteIn the Old Testament, the word “salvation” sometimes refers to deliverance from danger (Jer. 15:20), deliverance of the weak from an oppressor (Ps. 35:9–10), the healing of sickness (Is. 38:20), and deliverance from blood guilt and its consequences (Ps. 51:14). It may also refer to national deliverance from military threat (Ex. 14:13) or release from captivity (Ps. 14:7). But salvation finds its deepest meaning in the spiritual realm of life. Our universal need for salvation is one of the clearest teachings of the Bible.
The need for salvation goes back to the removal of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3). After the Fall, the lives of people were marked by strife and difficulty. Increasingly, corruption and violence dominated their world (Gen. 6:11–13). When God destroyed the world with the Flood, He also performed the first act of salvation by saving Noah and his family. These eight people became the basis of another chance for mankind. The salvation of Noah and his family was viewed by the apostle Peter as a pattern of the full salvation we receive in Christ (1 Pet. 3:18–22).
The central Old Testament experience of salvation is the Exodus (Ex. 12:40–14:31). Much of Israel’s worship of God was a renewal of this mighty experience that brought them from tyranny in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land (Ex. 13:3–16). The mighty saving power of God was demonstrated dramatically as the Israelites formed a holy nation of priestly servants of the Lord (Ex. 19:4–6). The Exodus became a pattern of salvation by which God’s future deeds of redemption would be understood.
But just as the Exodus symbolized their salvation, the Captivity of the Israelites in Babylon was a disastrous return to bondage. The people responded to this plight with expectations of a new and better Exodus (Is. 43:14–16) in which God would forgive their sins and restore their hearts to faithfulness (Jer. 31:31–34).
This hope for a new Exodus merged with expectation of a full realization of the rule of God (Ezek. 36:22–38). Since God was Lord and had shown Himself to be righteous and faithful, He must one day overpower His enemies and perfect the life of His people. This hope is expressed through the concept of the “day of the Lord” as described by the Old Testament prophets (Joel 2:1–11; Amos 9:11–15). But this hope also focused on the role of the Anointed King and the coming of the Messiah (Psalm 2).
Even Israel’s return from the Captivity, however, failed to fulfill all their hopes (Hag. 2:3). So a new understanding arose: the full realization of God’s purpose of salvation would involve the coming of a completely new age (Is. 65:17–25). This doctrine of salvation reached its fulfillment in the death of Christ on our behalf. Jesus’ mission was to save the world from sin and the wrath of God (Matt. 1:21; John 12:47; Rom. 5:9). During His earthly ministry, salvation was brought to us by His presence and the power of faith (Luke 19:9–10). Now, our salvation is based on His death and resurrection (Mark 10:25).
The salvation that comes through Christ may be described in three tenses: past, present, and future. When people believe in Christ, they are saved (Acts 16:31). But we are also in the process of being saved from the power of sin (Rom. 8:13; Phil. 2:12). Finally, we shall be saved from the very presence of sin (Rom. 13:11; Titus 2:12–13). God releases into our lives today the power of Christ’s resurrection (Rom. 6:4) and allows us a foretaste of our future life as His children (2 Cor. 1:22; Eph. 1:14). Our experience of salvation will be complete when Christ returns (Heb. 9:28) and the kingdom of God is fully revealed (Matt. 13:41–43).

ReplyDeleteFALSE PROPHETS CONDEMNED (READ THE WHOLE CHAPTER OF EZEKIEL 13
AND the Word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say thou unto them who prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the Word of the LORD (as there were false prophets and prophetesses in Jerusalem, there were such among the Exiles, as well! The Holy Spirit will now direct His attention to them in no uncertain terms!);
3 Thus saith the Lord GOD, Woe unto the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! (The phrase, “Who follow their own spirit,” means that they did not follow the Holy Spirit. They preached what the people wished to hear, in this case a speedy restoration to the Land of Judah.)
4 O Israel, your prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. (Foxes made their homes in the desert among ruins. The false prophets likewise made financial profit out of the ruin of Israel, and, in effect, made that ruin worse.)
5 You have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the House of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD. (These “foolish prophets” made merchandise of the time by telling the people a lie instead of the truth. They made them feel comfortable in their sins, and further told them that peace and prosperity were just around the corner. This slandered the Prophecies of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, and in effect also slandered God.)
6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD has not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word. (The phrase, “They have seen vanity and lying divination,” means that they have believed their own lies and have tried to confirm their own predictions. They did so by claiming, “The LORD saith,” when in fact “the LORD has not sent them,” and had not said anything to them.)

God will not spare anyone who changes the truth for the LIE such and Money cometh
I heard Joyce Leiphon on one of teachings say that anyone who comes against her and her teaching and I am using my words not hers exactly are not the watchman God has put over his church. I know that every Born-again Christian is to watch over the Word of God. If you do not Know the Word how can you tell when you are being lead astray. The preacher is to lead others to Christ and show how to develop their own personal relationship with the LORD not to lord over them how super spiritual they are. God gives all grace to all that believe. Not just a few but to all. Joyce like Eve is following a lie and teaching all who follow her to believe the same lie. Now is Joyce truly deceived or is she willfully deceived that is something only she and the Lord God knows. However, I have never seen any change in Joyce's life. She has always thought she deserved the best place at the table and to be honored. That she always if at all possible lived away from the rest of the family mainly so no one would know what she was doing. I know her well. I refused to believe her lies about money cometh and she has treated me just like the one's the LORD has brought out of her church. I tell you all I was born in sin just like Joyce was born in sin. When I didn't know Christ I live a life of sin. Joyce also has lived a life of sin. Hence as some say four or five divorces! Joyce is still in sin by preaching a false gospel in other words another Jesus not the one that Died on the Cross for all mankind. Salvation, not money, is the reason Jesus died. There is prosperity in the True Gospel of Jesus Christ but I am here to tell you it ain't money cometh to the body of christ. they are not serving Christ when they preach this lie. There are members in this church that knows Joyce is lying about her life about not having two nickles to rub together. They want to be rich so they will not speak out against her lies. My name is Janice Cecil my email address is jfcecil2009@gmail.com My phone number is 502-510-2713. Jesus Christ died for me and I do not have to be rich in order for God to Bless me and I bless others. Praise Jesus Christ who sits on the Right Hand of God the Father. Yeah Joyce uses the name of Jesus and his shed blood however she defiles His name the minute she says anything about money
ReplyDeleteLiving Simply— Yet Focused
ReplyDelete05182013
Look at the birds of the air . . . . Consider the lilies of the field . . . —Matthew 6:26, 28
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin”— they simply are! Think of the sea, the air, the sun, the stars, and the moon— all of these simply are as well— yet what a ministry and service they render on our behalf! So often we impair God’s designed influence, which He desires to exhibit through us, because of our own conscious efforts to be consistent and useful. Jesus said there is only one way to develop and grow spiritually, and that is through focusing and concentrating on God. In essence, Jesus was saying, “Do not worry about being of use to others; simply believe on Me.” In other words, pay attention to the Source, and out of you “will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). We cannot discover the source of our natural life through common sense and reasoning, and Jesus is teaching here that growth in our spiritual life comes not from focusing directly on it, but from concentrating on our Father in heaven. Our heavenly Father knows our circumstances, and if we will stay focused on Him, instead of our circumstances, we will grow spiritually— just as “the lilies of the field.”
The people who influence us the most are not those who detain us with their continual talk, but those who live their lives like the stars in the sky and “the lilies of the field”— simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mold and shape us.
If you want to be of use to God, maintain the proper relationship with Jesus Christ by staying focused on Him, and He will make use of you every minute you live— yet you will be unaware, on the conscious level of your life, that you are being used of Him.
After reading the posts the last few days My Utmost for His Highest etc. I looked in Heb.11:13"All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance,and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.15 And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them." As one read this chapter and sees their faith, and then looks at what is being taught at LOTWC, a different faith, a different God. All about money cometh to me now. Sowing seed to plant a forest.Depending on what type of trees you are planting soft wood thirty years to receive a harvest hard wood two hundred years for harvest.From what I see in the Bible and am walking in my God is a now God and supplies,whatever I need now.All because of His Love and Grace that comes from Jesus and Him Crucified. My focusing on Him not my self, he never fails always on time.
ReplyDelete1stCor1:30 But by his doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification,and redemption,31 that just as it is written, "Let Him Who Boast, Boast in the Lord."1-Cor6:11 And such were some of you; but you were washed,but you were sanctified,but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.1Cor15:54 But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortally,then will come about the saying that is written "Death is Swallowed Up in Victory." Read each chapter to get full context.(When Jesus died on the Cross,He addressed every single thing that man lost at the fall; however even though we presently have some of the benefits of what He there did, we don't have all of these benefits as of yet, and fact, will not have them all until the coming Resurrection, which should be overly obvious Jimmy Swaggart.)The believer is not yet glorified, incdentally will not come until the Resurrection. LOTWC none of you will ever become Jesus or a g-god. You will die like everybody else. Your faith confessions and what you declare have nothing to do with reality.Just self blowing hot air. Maybe left behind.
ReplyDeleteJust heard a preacher last night tell His sheep it is all about the Cross of Christ and the leading of the Holy Spirit. All Blessing are at the Cross. have any of you at LOTWC been to the Cross. I kinda doubt it or you would not be following the money god Mammon. This preacher has never heard of LOTWC or Joyce Leiphn. Wake up people before it is to late
ReplyDeleteGreat Faith for Great Miracles by Peter Youngren book, this one is worth the time and money.There are only two individuals to whom Jesus ascribed "great faith." Who were they? What was their secret? How can every believer enjoy this mountain-moving faith?
ReplyDeleteIam listening to Joyce Leiphon tell more lies to her followers. He sister sitting in front of her knows she is lying!! When Joyce was a little girls he did go to church almost everyday to make visit to the the virgin mary. She also make comment about our Dad and yes he was healed by the Lord from a injury from the war. If you tell one lie you are a liar. So my question to the sister sitting in front of her How can you condone Joyce Lies. Joyce is like all men she was born in sin and lived in sin and still is in sin. She is pretending to be something she is not. The word of God tell all of us not to think more of ourselves then we should. Joyce believes she is in the Spirit of God yet the Word of God condemns her. God is proved true while every man will be proved a liar. Is God lying when He said all Blessing are yeah and amen in Christ Jesus. Now according to the Bible I read I cannot find God needing a man to bring about what he wants in the earth. He made a donkey speak so that proves to me He doesn't need man for anything. Joyce stop using our Dads name as though you have learned what you are preaching from him. I have said it before if Our Dad was still living he would be ashamed of what you are preaching which is a false gospel and another Jesus. Our Dad renounced everything Joyce is preaching. I am so glad he is with the LORD. Our Dad love us so much he told everyone in the family the truth. Some have believed him other like Joyce and a few other have rejected what Our Dad taught. They in fact have rejected the Cross of Christ by believing the lie from satan. Joyce, stop using the name of our Dad while you are preaching such lies as though he believed what you preach. You are dead wrong. You do not know the Word of God other then the twisted word you are receiving from your father the devil. All liars father is the devil. and you do not know the truth
ReplyDeleteI wonder why the sister who is in front of this preacher does not take aside and let her know she is lying? How can the sister stay in her church if she knows she is not telling the truth about herself?
ReplyDeleteI would like to guess she has given this preacher lots of money and doesn't want to take the chance she will not get any of it back. those to follow false teacher deserve whatever they get. Remember you reap what you sow. Is your "seed money" worth what you will reap?
ReplyDeleteHaving God’s “Unreasonable” Faith

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you —Matthew 6:33
When we look at these words of Jesus, we immediately find them to be the most revolutionary that human ears have ever heard. “. . . seek first the kingdom of God . . . .” Even the most spiritually-minded of us argue the exact opposite, saying, “But I must live; I must make a certain amount of money; I must be clothed; I must be fed.” The great concern of our lives is not the kingdom of God but how we are going to take care of ourselves to live. Jesus reversed the order by telling us to get the right relationship with God first, maintaining it as the primary concern of our lives, and never to place our concern on taking care of the other things of life.
“. . . do not worry about your life. . .” (Matthew 6:25). Our Lord pointed out that from His standpoint it is absolutely unreasonable for us to be anxious, worrying about how we will live. Jesus did not say that the person who takes no thought for anything in his life is blessed— no, that person is a fool. But Jesus did teach that His disciple must make his relationship with God the dominating focus of his life, and to be cautiously carefree about everything else in comparison to that. In essence, Jesus was saying, “Don’t make food and drink the controlling factor of your life, but be focused absolutely on God.” Some people are careless about what they eat and drink, and they suffer for it; they are careless about what they wear, having no business looking the way they do; they are careless with their earthly matters, and God holds them responsible. Jesus is saying that the greatest concern of life is to place our relationship with God first, and everything else second.
It is one of the most difficult, yet critical, disciplines of the Christian life to allow the Holy Spirit to bring us into absolute harmony with the teaching of Jesus in these verses.
This chapter was real and alive in Joyce's father's life.He lived in pain in his body most of his life.Then when he was 54 years old, he was saved.A short time later he was healed. Since he was raised a roman catholic he was never taught the truths that are in the Bible. He followed those that led him to Lord in the word of faith movement.But his love of Jesus and his study of the Bible to know Jesus and the truth more,The Holy Spirit showed him this to was heresy.This took a few years, but he renounced this false gospel.As one who never forced what he believed on anyone,but told them the truth that he knew then they could decide for their self.He told his family about all of this,those that would listen.I have heard Joyce refer to her father more than once as what she has learned was from him,SHE KNOWS THAT IS A LIE. And if he was alive she would not be saying this and her family knows this also,because he would come down to her LOTWC and tell them that the Jesus that healed him and walked with and call him to preach the Gospel is not the Jesus that Joyce's is preaching.He also did not believe in the money gospel that she preaches,every service all about how you have to give.He gave what and when the Lord to him too.I know he loved his family and prayed that each one would know and serve The Lord,so I hope that the Lord answers His prayer for them in spite of the false gospel that Joyce believes and teaches. In Jesus Love JC
ReplyDeleteWhen we read the Bible and look at all the blessing that Israel had from the LORD and then look at all the Captivity they went into because of the worshiping of idols makes me realize more then ever how History repeats its self. Just as Solomon was blessed by God with Great wisdom he also fell into Idolatry. Solomon's reign of 40 years produce great material prosperity to the kingdom but lacked spiritual prosperity. I would rather have Spiritual prosperity everyday of the week over material prosperity. There is prosperity in the True Gospel of Jesus Christ. When we are seeking His will and allowing HIM to live through us then we will have the Blessing promised. We only have a part of what will be ours when we receive our Glorified bodies. However, most of you money preachers even though they profess the Name of Jesus they truly do not have their priority's set on the right Word of God. Just like Israel they are now preaching health, wealth and prosperity as a means to show they are living their life “ in Christ”, and they are godly people. As the Gospel of Matthew 6:33 points out we must seek First the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness mainly because our righteousness is a filthy rags in the sight of God.
ReplyDeletelistening to Joyce preaching on May 22 2013. She first used Luke 17: 20,21 to start off with. Well My study of the Word of God tell me she doesn't truly tell you the truth about what the KINGDOM of God within you is. This is what I have found to be true.
ReplyDeleteThe message of the Kingdom Fundamental to NT truth is that the kingdom of God is the spiritual reality and dynamic available to each person who receives Jesus Christ as Savoir and Lord. To receive Him the King is to receive His kingly rule, not only in your life and over your affairs but through you life and by your service and love. "The kingdom of God is within you". Jesus said. This is never to be construed as possible if we operate independently of God's power and grace. The possibility of reinstatement to rulership is brought about only through the forgiveness of sins and full redemption in Christ through Cross. The Bible never suggest either 1)that there exists in man a divine spark which may be fanned to flame by noble human efforts, or 2)that godlikeness is somehow resident in man's potential as though human beings are or may become "gods". To the contrary, man is lost in darkness and alienated from God ( EPH 4:18'2:12).
However, full salvation brings restored relationship to God and a full potential for His kingdom's ruling "within us" as we walk with Him. Jesus has sent the Holy Spirit to cause the anointing of His messiahship to be transmitted to us ( Is 61:1-3 Luke 4:18 John 1:16 1 john 2:20,27 4:17). So it is and on these terms only, that a human being can say " The kingdom of God is within me. ( Col 1:13/ Matt 5:1-7:27 JWH This is from the New King James Bible by Jack Hayford

In that day you will ask in My name . . . for the Father Himself loves you . . . —John 16:26-27
In that day you will ask in My name . . . ,” that is, in My nature. Not “You will use My name as some magic word,” but—”You will be so intimate with Me that you will be one with Me.” “That day” is not a day in the next life, but a day meant for here and now. “. . . for the Father Himself loves you . . .”— the Father’s love is evidence that our union with Jesus is complete and absolute. Our Lord does not mean that our lives will be free from external difficulties and uncertainties, but that just as He knew the Father’s heart and mind, we too can be lifted by Him into heavenly places through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, so that He can reveal the teachings of God to us.
“. . . whatever you ask the Father in My name . . .” (John 16:23). “That day” is a day of peace and an untroubled relationship between God and His saint. Just as Jesus stood unblemished and pure in the presence of His Father, we too by the mighty power and effectiveness of the baptism of the Holy Spirit can be lifted into that relationship—”. . . that they may be one just as We are one . . .” (John 17:22).
“. . . He will give you” (John 16:23). Jesus said that because of His name God will recognize and respond to our prayers. What a great challenge and invitation—to pray in His name! Through the resurrection and ascension power of Jesus, and through the Holy Spirit He has sent, we can be lifted into such a relationship. Once in that wonderful position, having been placed there by Jesus Christ, we can pray to God in Jesus’ name—in His nature. This is a gift granted to us through the Holy Spirit, and Jesus said, “. . . whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.” The sovereign character of Jesus Christ is tested and proved by His own statements.
Maybe someone at LOTWC can answer if this scripture has been removed from your Bible? 1st Tim 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. Also 1st Tim.2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,(6) who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony borne at the proper time. Joyce nor anyone else will ever become g-god or the mediator. From her teachings sounds like she is listening to the same spirit that Eve listened to, you shall be god. And all that one has to do is look around and see how that turned out.Joyce is going to die just like the rest of the HUMAN race. She teaches you can speak things in to existence, K.Hagin and others were never able to do it. And Joyce will not be able either.If 1st Tim.and 2nd Tim are still in your Bibles it would be a good idea to read them and as The Lord about what He is saying in them not Joyce if you want to know the TRUTH.
ReplyDeleteFrom New King James Kingdom dynaamics Lucke 4:14-32
ReplyDelete“Earth's Evil Ruler, ”Conflict and the Kingdom
As Jesus confronts Satan, he dramatically exposed the Adversary's relationship to this present world. Note the significance in Satan's offer to Jesus of “ all the kingdoms of the world.” Here we see the Adversary administrator of the the course on this planet, a role he has held since man's dominion was lost and forfeited at the Fall. Because of this Jesus does not contest the Devils's right to make that offer of this world's kingdoms and glory, but He pointedly denies the terms for their being gained. Jesus knows He is here to regain and ultimately win them, but He will do so on the Fathers's terms, not the Adversary's. Still the present world systems are largely grounded by the limited but powerful and destructive rule of the one Jesus calls the “ ruler of this world” ( John 12:31; 14:30). Understanding these facts, we are wise not to attribute to God anything of the disorder of our confused sin-riddled, diseased tragedy-ridden, and tormented planet. “This present evil age ( Gal 1:4 ) lies under the sway of the wicked one” (1 John 5:19). But Jesus also said that Satan's rule “will be cast down,” and that he was nothing in Me,” that is, no control over Christ or Christ own. “ He who is in you is greater then her who is in the world ( 1 John 4”4). ( luke 11:2-4/ Matt 11:12 JWH
Jesus Depended totally on the Father for everything he did. Jesus said many time “ I only do what the Father shows me to do”. Jesus did nothing on his own. IT was all about the Father. Are you truly following Jesus Christ or are you following some who say if you do what I say you will be rich or you will have everything you declare or decree or wish for. Search the Scripture for yourself as we all are commanded to do. If you die lost it is not your preachers fault it is your own. You have the responsibility to seek the Face of God and allow Him to lead and guide you not a man or a woman
The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep: The bad shepherd thinks the flock exists for his benefit, but the good shepherd lives (and dies) for the good of the sheep.
ReplyDeleteThe good shepherd sacrifices for the sheep
The good shepherd knows his sheep
The good shepherd is known by the sheep
b. The faithful pastor will, as an under-shepherd, display the same characteristics as the Good Shepherd. He will sacrifice for the sheep, know the sheep, and be known by them. He will be a shepherd and not a hireling who does not care about the sheep.
What sacrifice does your pastor make for you her sheep? Will she preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ for free. Or is she a hireling. My Pastor works for his Living. He is over retirement age. HE takes nothing from the Church as He calls it a privilege to Preach the Words that bring Salvation to the lost. He considers it an Honor to be the vessel the LORD has chosen to lead some of His Sheep to a relationship with the LORD Jesus Christ. He asks are you truly seeking the Face of God the Father for what He has done for us all, or you seeking the face of God for what you can get? Is money and riches what you want for your life in this age or is it eternal life in the coming Kingdom age. We can not have it both ways. Seek God for who he is and what he has done for us. When we are seeking HIM he will give us all we need to walk in "HIM" with the fullness of Joy. If your preacher us preaching "seed time and Harvest" is money are you sure he or she is preaching it in context of how it is written. I have heard Joyce Leiphon preach that " seed time and Harvest" is all about " money". Is this statement from her the truth or is it perverted? Does she or he ever preach what happens to the soul who seek wealth and riches of this world? Does he or she preach that they are not greedy or covetous. Is their focus on the Blessing of God instead of the Blesser Himself? From all I have heard from the "money preacher" is money money money. My preacher says focus on the Cross of Christ and all the Blessing of the LORD will follow. Does that mean you will be rich according to the Worlds standards? Maybe and maybe not. The LORD God knows who can and cannot handle wealth. I know you if are giving any type support to the false Gospel of " Money Cometh to the Body Christ" you are not "sowing" to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. According to the Gospel that Joyce Leiphon and others preach I am in poverty. But according to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ I am rich. Whose report will you believe. " Money" or Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. Sad so sad that men and women will use the Word of God to manipulate others to make them rich all the while leading their followers to destruction.

The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him . . . —Psalm 25:14
What is the sign of a friend? Is it that he tells you his secret sorrows? No, it is that he tells you his secret joys. Many people will confide their secret sorrows to you, but the final mark of intimacy is when they share their secret joys with you. Have we ever let God tell us any of His joys? Or are we continually telling God our secrets, leaving Him no time to talk to us? At the beginning of our Christian life we are full of requests to God. But then we find that God wants to get us into an intimate relationship with Himself— to get us in touch with His purposes. Are we so intimately united to Jesus Christ’s idea of prayer— “Your will be done” (Matthew 6:10)— that we catch the secrets of God? What makes God so dear to us is not so much His big blessings to us, but the tiny things, because they show His amazing intimacy with us— He knows every detail of each of our individual lives.
“Him shall He teach in the way He chooses” (Psalm 25:12). At first, we want the awareness of being guided by God. But then as we grow spiritually, we live so fully aware of God that we do not even need to ask what His will is, because the thought of choosing another way will never occur to us. If we are saved and sanctified, God guides us by our everyday choices. And if we are about to choose what He does not want, He will give us a sense of doubt or restraint, which we must heed. Whenever there is doubt, stop at once. Never try to reason it out, saying, “I wonder why I shouldn’t do this?” God instructs us in what we choose; that is, He actually guides our common sense. And when we yield to His teachings and guidance, we no longer hinder His Spirit by continually asking, “Now, Lord, what is Your will?”
Just heard Joyce Leiphon say she was following her man of God. She said Leroy Thompson was her man of God. You know my man of God is the one who died for me his name is Jesus Christ and only Him will I follow. If You are following any other man or woman you are not following the Man Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit was sent back to lead guide and teach all believers the truth of the Word of God. While Joyce preaches head knowledge of the word of God she truly doesn't have the Wisdom of God and His Word. She if is following what man's version of the Scripture is she is following the same lie of EVE. Does she show all who do not believe what she teaches the LOVE of God. I can tell you that she does not. If you do not believe what she teaches doesn't she tell you her followers not to have anything to do with them. Who did Jesus Reject? Do you know? He rejected the Religious leaders of the day. Now Jesus will also reject those Religious leaders of today just like in the days He walked the earth. Why would Jesus Christ honor those of today that he rejected back then with all their got a do's. Don't you have to give money to Joyce Leiphon so she can be honored and set apart from the rest of you? Do you have to bless her with your money in order to be blessed by God. Blashphemy !!! Jesus Called people like the money preachers which Joyce Leiphon is one a brood of vipers. Matt 3:7. If you read further in this chapter of Matthew you will read that Jesus said he could and would raise up children to Abraham from stones. These Pharisees where from the seed of Abraham the natural seed and Jesus rejected them so what makes anyone believe they are above anyone else. Jesus Christ died for all men women and children He died to give life to all that would trust in HIM. He didn't die so you could follow another man or woman but so you could follow HIM. Are you truly born again or do you say the Words because you want to be rich according to the worlds standards as Joyce Leiphon preaches. Yeah I bet a lot of people are seeing what she preaches and are laughing all the way to the bank and putting their money in their own account. Praise God He is still on HIS Throne.
ReplyDeletePut God First
ReplyDelete05312013
Jesus did not commit Himself to them . . .for He knew what was in man —John 2:24-25
Put Trust in God First. Our Lord never put His trust in any person. Yet He was never suspicious, never bitter, and never lost hope for anyone, because He put His trust in God first. He trusted absolutely in what God’s grace could do for others. If I put my trust in human beings first, the end result will be my despair and hopelessness toward everyone. I will become bitter because I have insisted that people be what no person can ever be— absolutely perfect and right. Never trust anything in yourself or in anyone else, except the grace of God.
Put God’s Will First. “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God” (Hebrews 10:9).
A person’s obedience is to what he sees to be a need— our Lord’s obedience was to the will of His Father. The rallying cry today is, “We must get to work! The heathen are dying without God. We must go and tell them about Him.” But we must first make sure that God’s “needs” and His will in us personally are being met. Jesus said, “. . . tarry . . . until you are endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). The purpose of our Christian training is to get us into the right relationship to the “needs” of God and His will. Once God’s “needs” in us have been met, He will open the way for us to accomplish His will, meeting His “needs” elsewhere.
Put God’s Son First. “Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me” (Matthew 18:5).
God came as a baby, giving and entrusting Himself to me. He expects my personal life to be a “Bethlehem.” Am I allowing my natural life to be slowly transformed by the indwelling life of the Son of God? God’s ultimate purpose is that His Son might be exhibited in me.
The Staggering Question
ReplyDelete06012013
He said to me, ’Son of man, can these bones live?’ —Ezekiel 37:3
Can a sinner be turned into a saint? Can a twisted life be made right? There is only one appropriate answer— “O Lord God, You know” (Ezekiel 37:3). Never forge ahead with your religious common sense and say, “Oh, yes, with just a little more Bible reading, devotional time, and prayer, I see how it can be done.”
It is much easier to do something than to trust in God; we see the activity and mistake panic for inspiration. That is why we see so few fellow workers with God, yet so many people working for God. We would much rather work for God than believe in Him. Do I really believe that God will do in me what I cannot do? The degree of hopelessness I have for others comes from never realizing that God has done anything for me. Is my own personal experience such a wonderful realization of God’s power and might that I can never have a sense of hopelessness for anyone else I see? Has any spiritual work been accomplished in me at all? The degree of panic activity in my life is equal to the degree of my lack of personal spiritual experience.
“Behold, O My people, I will open your graves . . .” (Ezekiel 37:12). When God wants to show you what human nature is like separated from Himself, He shows it to you in yourself. If the Spirit of God has ever given you a vision of what you are apart from the grace of God (and He will only do this when His Spirit is at work in you), then you know that in reality there is no criminal half as bad as you yourself could be without His grace. My “grave” has been opened by God and “I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells” (Romans 7:18). God’s Spirit continually reveals to His children what human nature is like apart from His grace.
The Never-forsaking God

He Himself has said, ’I will never leave you nor forsake you’ —Hebrews 13:5
What line of thinking do my thoughts take? Do I turn to what God says or to my own fears? Am I simply repeating what God says, or am I learning to truly hear Him and then to respond after I have heard what He says? “For He Himself has said, ’I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ So we may boldly say: ’The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?’ ” (Hebrews 13:5-6).
“I will never leave you . . .”— not for any reason; not my sin, selfishness, stubbornness, nor waywardness. Have I really let God say to me that He will never leave me? If I have not truly heard this assurance of God, then let me listen again.
“I will never . . . forsake you.” Sometimes it is not the difficulty of life but the drudgery of it that makes me think God will forsake me. When there is no major difficulty to overcome, no vision from God, nothing wonderful or beautiful— just the everyday activities of life— do I hear God’s assurance even in these?
We have the idea that God is going to do some exceptional thing— that He is preparing and equipping us for some extraordinary work in the future. But as we grow in His grace we find that God is glorifying Himself here and now, at this very moment. If we have God’s assurance behind us, the most amazing strength becomes ours, and we learn to sing, glorifying Him even in the ordinary days and ways of life.
Recently while watching Joyce Leiphon on her web-site, that while she mention Jesus Christ His Shed Blood she was mostly bragging on herself. She even has a member of her church come up and lie for her so all who were watching would believe she has Great Faith. It is so sad that she is following a mere man not the Man Jesus Christ. Pride comes before the fall. Now Joyce Leiphon may not be judged in this life but I am here to tell you The Great White Throne Judgment is not going to be pleasant for those who pervert the Gospel of Jesus Christ. IF you are truly following the Leading of the Holy Spirit you will not allow anyone to sing YOUR praises nor will you praise any other human being . It is Idolatry. No Idolater will enter into the KINGDOM of God.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading the books that Joyce Leiphon places the basis of her teaching of 'Money". While there is some truth in these books I have to wonder how anyone can place their trust in something like this. when I have read in the "BOOKS" that you are not to used the wealth your for your gain. Like big homes and fine cars and jet planes. So while they all preach not to do this It appears to me they are all doing just what their man of gwad is doing even though they tell you not to do that. Joyce brags on herself and has members of her group to brag on her and she brags on her man of gwad. I am shocked at the level she has dropped to. Or maybe she has never truly given her life the the Savior to do as He will in her life. She and others like her are perverting the Gospel of Jesus Christ with all the gotta does. Before you can become rich you have to make someone else rich. Where do you get that out of the Word of God? Oh I know you can twist HIS word to mean whatever you want but to ME if you have a real relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ you don't think as the world does about what you will eat or wear or where you shall live. Jesus Christ is the Provider of all things pertaining to life in this age. HE Jesus not Leroy provides for HIS. HE has given those who trust totally in Him and His work on the Cross all that is necessary to live life in the fullest "IN HIM" Are you truly one of His when you seek the Blessings instead of the one who Blesses. Oh I know they all preach who you are in Christ and about the Blood of Christ but do they truly understand all that Being in HIM includes. It is all about HIM not what any man or woman say about HIM. Do you truly know HIM who died for you. Are you truly supporting the true Gospel or do you not know that there are many false teachers prowling around to deceive you into all unrighteousness. Jesus clearly warns us not to believe every Spirit but to test the Spirits. the only way you can test the Spirits to know if it is of God is to KNOW the Word of God and Ask The Father in Jesus name for the truth. If you are one of His He will give you all the truth you can handle. Is you mind open to the things of God or only to your man or woman of gwad? That is the real question. Jesus Christ is our covering. We need no other. Anyone who preaches you need a covering do not understand that Jesus Christ covers all that are HIS.
ReplyDeleteI have Heard Joyce Leiphon say that Genesis 1:28 is one of her favorite scriptures. I wonder if she has ever read the Part in Genesis where Adam gave Dominion of the earth to Satan when He Adam sinned. Yes I know she will say that Jesus gave it back when He died on the Cross. However, that is reading more into scripture then is actually there. The earth will be restored at the 2nd Coming of Jesus. It has not been restored yet. Now when I came to know Christ I become a "NEW CREATION". I didn't revert back to the one Adam gave away. So how can I claim that I now have dominion over the earth. How can anyone claim they can speak anything into existence. Adam did not have that power. As this preacher says she is now back as God Created man at the beginning. Confusing to say the least. I do not have to trust in what some man or woman says God has said. You see MY God speaks to my heart. He leads and Guides me so I don't have to fall for every wind and doctrine man devises. Jesus Christ is my LORD not just my Savoir But MY Master my redeemer. Why would I need a mere man or woman to tell me if I am in right standing with the LORD or not. I choose to follow Jesus Christ no one else. The only currency I can find in the Word of God that can be used for anything in a life with God is Faith in His Son Jesus Christ and the Finished work of the Cross it is truly called FAITH. That Faith is the only possible way to enter eternal life. Has nothing to do with seed time and harvest as this preacher preaches. Does giving her your seed ( money) increase your faith or does it build her up and make you feel important. Jesus Christ is the only answer to all you have need off. Oh by the way the Image and likeness of God that Adam was made is what the LIGHT that surrounded the GODHEAD. That is why Adam and Eve didn't know the were naked until after the fall. They were cloth just as God was Clothed.
ReplyDelete11 And He gave (our Lord does the calling) some, Apostles (has reference to the fact that not all who are called to be Ministers will be called to be Apostles; this applies to the other designations as well; “Apostles” serve as the de facto leaders of the Church, and do so through the particular Message given to them by the Lord for the Church); and some, Prophets (who stand in the Office of the Prophet, thereby, foretelling and forthtelling); and some, Evangelists (to gather the harvest); and some, Pastors (Shepherds) and Teachers (those with a special Ministry to teach the Word to the Body of Christ; “Apostles” can and do function in all of the callings);
ReplyDeletePURPOSE OF THE GIFTS
12 For the perfecting of the Saints (to “equip for service”), for the work of the Ministry (to proclaim the Message of Redemption to the entirety of the world), for the edifying of the Body of Christ (for the spiritual building up of the Church):
13 Till we all come in the unity of the Faith (to bring all Believers to a proper knowledge of Christ and the Cross), and of the knowledge of the Son of God (which again refers to what He did for us at the Cross), unto a perfect man (the Believer who functions in maturity), unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (the “measure” is the “fullness of Christ,” which can only be attained by a proper Faith in the Cross):
14 That we henceforth be no more children (presents the opposite of maturity, and speaks of those whose Faith is in that other than the Cross), tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men (Satan uses Preachers), and cunning craftiness (they make a way, other than the Cross, which seems to be right), whereby they lie in wait to deceive (refers to a deliberate planning or system);
15 But speaking the Truth in Love (powerfully proclaiming the Truth of the Cross, but always with Love), may grow up into Him in all things (proper Spiritual Growth can take place only according to proper Faith in the Cross [I Cor. 1:21, 23; 2:2]), which is the Head, even Christ (Christ is the Head of the Church, and is such by virtue of the Cross):
16 From Whom (Christ Jesus) the whole body (Christ as the Head, and the Church as the Body) fitly joined together (presents the foot in the place it ought to be, and the eye in its proper place, etc.) and compacted by that which every joint supplies (one part is dependent on the other), according to the effectual working in the measure of every part (every part labors to produce a great result), making increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love (building itself up; will happen when we function according to God’s Prescribed Order, which is the “unity of the Faith”; again, refers to a proper understanding of the Cross).

ReplyDeletein those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. For this is He Who was spoken of by the Prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the Way of the LORD, make His paths straight (Mat. 3:1–3).
The preaching of John the Baptist wasn’t exactly according to diplomatic skills. It was personal, abrupt, powerful, forceful, and straight to the point. It minced no words. People sometimes speak of the spirit of the New Testament being different from that of the Old Testament, but Matthew 3:1–7 overthrows this belief, as do many other Passages, notably those of the Book of Revelation.
How could God’s attitude towards sin change?
The Baptist called these individuals children of Satan; he declared the Wrath of God was coming, that the ax of judgment was even then lying at the root of the tree of religious profession, and that if these moralists did not repent, they would be burned up as chaff in the unquenchable fire.
To strike off a branch of a tree is partial destruction, but to lay the ax at the root means total destruction. To be sure, John the Baptist used the tree as a symbol to picture the professors of religion.
The voice of John the Baptist was the first voice of a Prophet heard in Israel in some 400 years. Without the voice of the Prophet, Israel became bogged down in legalism. Without the voice of the Prophet, this is the direction the Church always takes.
It should be noticed that John’s preaching carried very little foretelling; almost all was in the class of “forthtelling.” In other words, John was a powerful Preacher of Righteousness, which is the major calling of the true Prophet.
John was the last of the Prophets under the Old Covenant; he would be the greatest of all, simply because he went immediately before the face of Jehovah-Messiah. In fact, he introduced Christ!
How much preaching presently measures up to that carried out by the Baptist?

Where is the Money Joyce I do not see money anywhere. Also listening to you preach I have realized that you are just preaching what you read the in the book of Your man of Gwad. It is almost word for word. And they you say thank you Holy Ghost. Repent while there is still time
Joyce chooses to follow her man of Gwad. I choose to follow the LORD Jesus Christ. I just heard her speak that she serves Leroy Thompson. IF you are serving man you can not be serving the one who died for you. Joyce did Leroy die for you or have you learned through his half truths how to legally steal from all those who follow you. God will not honor half truths and lies. Repent while you still have time. The snatching away could happen any time. Are you truly ready? What will you do when you are left behind? Will you still be depending on your Man of Gwad to help you?
ReplyDeleteI have to ask if anyone would care to comment why didn't the original 11 that Walked with Jesus while he was on this Earth and the original 11 who where filled with the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost preach 'Money cometh" as Joyce and others preach? I have to believe if it was truly part of the true Gospel it would have been plainly written in the Word of God. Just as it was Written that Jesus is the "truth the life and the way". I do believe there is prosperity in the Word of God but not according to obeying Spiritual law that greedy preachers Preach. I would be will to say that the today is in as bad a shape as it was or worse then the days that Jesus walked this earth. Like the Pharisees these money preachers are placing their followers under laws that Jesus has done away with if you are truly one of HIS. If you are truly following the LORD Jesus Christ you will not be following rules and regulations such as having to obey the law of "seed time and harvest" as Joyce Leihon preaches. You see the Holy Spirit will tell you who to give to and where to give it. If you are sowing as this preachers says I am here to tell you that it is not for the KINGDOM of GOD but you are sowing to the kingdom of Satan. Oh yeah she and others do use scripture however like the pharisees they are twisted. I am Proud of my Savior and I do not have to Preach anything but JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED. Lead those who are seeking to the fullest of the word of God not according to my knowledge but according to the truth of the Word in context so they learn to depend on the LORD JESUS CHRIST not a mere man who is full of themselves. It is all about leading others to have a "PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST. The Holy Spirit is the true teacher not any man
ReplyDeleteChristianity has become a religion to so many people. I have heard Joyce my blood sister speak out against religion. However she fails to see by preaching as she does about Spiritual law she is also preaching "religion". I do not intend for the things I say on this blog to be coming against her personally however as a True believer in the Finished Work of Jesus Christ I must speak out against any false teaching. If you have a relationship with the only Son of the Living God you would not be following any man or woman. Joyce speaks that she is following a mere man someone she calls her anointed man of God. As far as the Word of God goes Jesus Christ is the " Anointed ONE not Leroy. You can not give anyone an anointing it does not come from man to man but only from the HOLY SPIRIT to a Man that the LORD chooses. Joyce can choose to follow her man of god if she chooses. However, everyone has that choice to follow man or follow the Son of God who died for us all. Joyce I am praying for you to come to your senses. You, not the one placing the true word of God on this Blog are the ignorant one. You truly do not understand the Truth of the Gospel of Our LORD Jesus Christ. You are following a god other the the most High God who raised Jesus from the grave. Leroy isn't any type of Christ. If you would notice all through the OLD Covenant only when they were obedient to the Law of God did they prosper. When they worshiped others Gods they went into captivity. The captivity that those who worship other Gods today is not the same as back then. They the true Israel would have the true Gospel preached to them when Jesus Christ raised from the dead. The one who did not repent never had the 2nd chance. Joyce, and those who follow her will not have a 2nd chance to follow the one true God if they continue to place their faith and trust in their man of gwad instead of the Living God. Man can not live the life of Jesus no matter how hard you try. There is always doubt. Even you who are giving all you can to Joyce to help make her rich so someone will make you rich you still have doubt. You can lie to yourself if you choose but the Word of God truly Spoken will give you true freedom never the Bondage Joyce and her man of gwad are placing you under. Her dad showed her years ago that the preaching of the tithe and offering that she preaches was not what the LORD intended for today. IF you are truly called of God you will live from His Word ( He would supply) as he sent the Apostles. HE told them to take nothing no money no change of clothes yet this woman and other want you to make them rich. She and those she follows are slapping Jesus Christ in the face every time they preach the money gospel. Sorry Joyce I truly believe you are the ignorant one. If she truly trust Jesus Christ to supply she would not be preaching " Money Cometh" but the true Gospel that Jesus still does and is still capable of providing all your need not getting it from your own selfish desires
ReplyDeleteBecause of the atonement of Jesus Christ we have been given these promises, John 14:23-27 "If anyone loves me etc.(24)He who does not love etc.(26) But the Helper, etc. (27) Peace I leave with you etc. Then John 16;7-15 But I tell you the truth, etc (15) and will disclose it to you.Also 1st John 2:26-27 who are trying to deceive you.(27)And as for you, the anointing etc. Then in Acts 17:11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness,examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so. These are just a few Scriptures and all my searching in the Bible I do not find the gospel of Joyce or Leroy anywhere.Nor is the command of total obedience to them. I do not see that they are the only one that hear from God or have all the truth,or have a anointing. After listening to Joyce many times and her statements that she is at a higher level than the rest of the church and hears from God like none of the rest of the church, my question for LOTHWC is what are you going to do if Joyce and Leroy die to day.In Jesus love JC
ReplyDeleteYou know I have always been told the ignorant people are ignorant because they have not been taught. I have also been told that stupid people cannot learn. With saying this I would wonder why if " money cometh" was something the Lord Jesus wanted preached why didn't he make it plain to all who read the Bible. Like one of the post above says it is plain that " Jesus is the truth, the life and the ONLY Way". So just where does that leave the money gospel. Don't you have enough faith to make God give you all the money you want instead of taking from poor souls you have bewitched to believe God wants them to be wealthy. If these people are so close to God as they want you to believe they would not need you to give them money. They would demand God give them all they need. Don't they say that they are on a higher spiritual realm then those who are listening to them? God doesn't need anything but he desires all to come to the saving knowledge of HIS Son Jesus death on the cross for Salvation,Sanctification,Justification. Again why is money cometh hidden but Jesus is plainly told to be all that we need. Does Joyce truly have all her faith and trust in what the God of all the LIVING can do and has done for us who truly trust and believe God?
ReplyDeleteThe Greatest Source of Power
ReplyDelete06072013
Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do . . . —John 14:13
Am I fulfilling this ministry of intercession deep within the hidden recesses of my life? There is no trap nor any danger at all of being deceived or of showing pride in true intercession. It is a hidden ministry that brings forth fruit through which the Father is glorified. Am I allowing my spiritual life to waste away, or am I focused, bringing everything to one central point— the atonement of my Lord? Is Jesus Christ more and more dominating every interest of my life? If the central point, or the most powerful influence, of my life is the atonement of the Lord, then every aspect of my life will bear fruit for Him.
However, I must take the time to realize what this central point of power is. Am I willing to give one minute out of every hour to concentrate on it? “If you abide in Me . . . “— that is, if you continue to act, and think, and work from that central point— “you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you” (John 15:7). Am I abiding? Am I taking the time to abide? What is the greatest source of power in my life? Is it my work, service, and sacrifice for others, or is it my striving to work for God? It should be none of these— what ought to exert the greatest power in my life is the atonement of the Lord. It is not on what we spend the greatest amount of time that molds us the most, but whatever exerts the most power over us. We must make a determination to limit and concentrate our desires and interests on the atonement by the Cross of Christ.
“Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do . . . .” The disciple who abides in Jesus is the will of God, and what appears to be his free choices are actually God’s foreordained decrees. Is this mysterious? Does it appear to contradict sound logic or seem totally absurd? Yes, but what a glorious truth it is to a saint of God.
In Looking at the four Gospels each has different points that are given to help us know the Lord. So check out In Touch.org, Life Principles Notes Sunday,June 09,2013 To Whom Are You Listening? Since The Lord did not put just one man over the Church, but sent out 12 Apostles, then also sent out 70 others to preach the gospel.Heb. 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes forever. He has chosen to use many to declare the truth that it is Jesus Christ and Him alone that was Crucified for all of mankind's sin.And anyone that is called by God will teach if you are born again The Lord will open your eyes and ears that you can see Him and know his voice.His Spirit will speak in line will His written word. It is the will of God, for man,the bible is the road map, the owners manual.He also has given The Holy Spirit to each believer, to teach guide into all truth. He teaches in context with chapter and verse with the book that chapter is in.In union with the truths of the Bible from Genesis to Revelations.When one sit's under a bible teacher one must check out what they teach with the word of God,if not rightly divided one can have the word say what you want it to say.In over fifty years of hearing preachers share from the Word of God I have never heard from them at ever service teaching about money and how you have to give like I have hear Joyce teach. A different gospel!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletesitting here listening to Joyce preach on the " out pouring of the Holy Spirit. She made the comment that she was not perfect. However I do remember her preaching she had become "HIM. When did she allow Him to change her before or after her four or five divorces? She said the LORD told her to marry then He told her to commit sin by getting a divorce? Confusing to say the least!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am here to tell anyone who is listening to Joyce Leiphon talking about our Dad I have to correct her. The signs and wonders she is talking about that she claims that went on during His ministry is the fact many hundreds of people got save and baptized in the the HOLY SPIRIT. Joyce may have been there in the very beginning however, I do not remember her being there but occasionally. Myself one sister and one brother where there every time there was a prayer meeting. Matter of fact our Dad told her not to marry when you did because the one she had chosen was not saved. She didn't listen then, she like many of us wanted God to bless what we wanted to do. Dad would be rolling over in his grave to hear the lies she is teaching you people. The sister sitting there in front of her does not know what went on at that time of Our Dads life. The other sister who comes occasionally was not there every week so she has not clue about the truth that our Dad Preached. He like Paul said " I know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. Joyce has learn to preach Gods word with even what Paul say he will not do. Paul was a Pharisee of the Pharisees He was a Roman citizen but He unlike Joyce gave up all His rights in order to follow the one who saved HIM. That is also what Our Dad did. He rejected everything Joyce stands for. Our Dad through out everything he had been taught by leaders such as Joyce and others. He asked God to give him the whole truth of His word and when He did Our Dads life changed. He become a man after the heart of God and God blessed him with more spiritual knowledge then most of the family. The mantle of our Dad passed on to our older Brother. I am here to tell you Joyce does not know the Word of God because she how could she be comparing " Money cometh" to the true Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ. IF Joyce really doesn't want your money stop giving it to her and see how fast she calls and ask where it is. Doesn't she still tell you that your tax return belongs to her? She is telling you one thing because what is being posted on this blog. She is trying to pull the wool over you eyes. Stop and seek the Face of God for your self do not depend on this blog or Joyce to tell you the truth. IF you are truly wanting what Jesus gave you at His death and resurrection you will do it for yourself just as OUR Dad did. Just as our older brother did. Just as I have had to do. Oh yeah I have lived a sinned filled life but can you or Joyce point me to one human other then the LORD Jesus Christ that has lived a sinless life. Joyce Stop using our Dad as a way to make people believe you are teaching what He taught. HE came against the false gospel that you teach. I Praise my God and Savior though it took over 20 years He opened my eyes to the truth. That truth is Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. no other nothing but Jesus. No other gospel " money cometh is a false gospel leading many souls to destruction. Look at what is going on with the World around you does it look like the Gospel she is preaching is going to give you dominion over the earth? You know about " seed time and harvest" but Like Jesus said you cannot tell the times or the season you are living. Joyce believes she is better by the fact she tells her followers not to have anything to do with anyone who no longer believes what she preaches.
ReplyDeleteJoyce Leiphon has been told by her father the truth about the word of faith doctrine, that he renounced it. That it like the Roman Catholic doctrine it is nothing but the works of the flesh and the doctrine of demons.That Jesus did everything at the cross it was finished then. The rest of his family that would listen he told them also.I was at one of His home meeting and there was prayer for a six year old girl that he and those that were there prayed for a lung disorder that the doctor said there was nothing that they could do for her. But Jesus healed her. I new her grandfather who brought her to the meeting and saw him ten years later and the girl was still healed.Joyce knows she is not teaching what her father which God called into the ministry, taught. Joyce has been told by some of her family that she is wrong and listening to a different spirit, not the Holy Spirit. I know because I am one of the ones that has told her so. I am Joe Cecil her older brother a Called Minister a Pastor called by God not by man. My prayer is like my father's that all of his family come to the true saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. I thank God that my father is with Him and does not have to see what Joyce and some of the family are walking in.Joyce claimed to be saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit and still disobeyed her father and married one of her husbands when she knew that he was not saved.So much for how she always respected and obeyed him. Many other things but will not go into them. Joyce it is time to stop using daddy's name in your teachings because you are nothing like him.He wanting nothing but Jesus and souls to be saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit.
ReplyDeleteHe gave to God as he told him to. The tax deduction that one can take he did not even claim that. God blessed him and He did not rob from the saints.Shared Jesus with anyone that would listen.Wrote gospel songs, went to many churches and other places and played music and sang about his Lord Jesus Christ. Married to one woman. I do not think you are following DADDY.
It would be highly interesting to know how a woman as mentally unbalanced as Joyce Leiphon managed to be hired on as a law enforcement officer by both the Port St Lucie Police Department and the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office. Somebody messed up somewhere, big time !
ReplyDeleteLast evening I was watching a program on TV about this cult in Ohio where this so-called pastor "heard from God" to murder this beautiful family, a man, wife, and their three children because they were supposedly exposing the truth about him. His name was Jeff Lundgren and he shot and buried them all. Couldn't help but think of Joyce Leiphon as I was watching this - this Jeff Lundgren totally controlled his flock, telling them that they could not communicate with anyone who disagreed with his teachings, and that they had to give him a lot of money, and he had totally brainwashed these innocents in his cult to believe that he was "the Prophet". In other words, he controlled every breath they took and every aspect of their lives. All I can say after watching this program and it sounding so much like Joyce Leiphon's sociopathic control over others, for those of you who are foolish enough to worship this "pastor", you had better watch your back. These cult leaders grow so increasingly off the wall with their thought processes that they can certainly "snap" and "hear from God" to do the same thing this Jeff Lundgren did. Again, if you people involved with this LOTWC cult are dedicated enough to stay with this woman, BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK !!!
