A "force." This is the very same word that Oprah Winfrey, other Hollywood celebrities, and those in the occult use. This new way of thinking is also called "New Thought." It is occult theology. There is nothing 'Christian' about it. Here is what the occult calls "The Law of Attraction." Let's take a look at how it compares to the Word of Faith theology.

How eerily Satan has MOCKED God! Now I ask you, WHERE is the difference between what those in the occult have practiced for centuries and what the professing Christian health and wealth theology believers are practicing?
Diving into this Word of Faith false doctrine will open a door for demon possession as I believe so many involved in this today have already become demon possessed. People have lost their conscience, have become extremely arrogant, and have demoted the Lord God while raising themselves as a higher power. Satan has convinced people that they are "gods" and Kings and Queens to rule this earth. They believe they are above God and can call into existence anything they want. Listen to Justin's sermon Dangerous Doctrines for clips of preachers teaching this false doctrine.
Only God can speak things into existence. That is not an ability that you and I have but the faith preachers, the new apostolic reformation, these people blur that line between God the Creator and us His created. They DEMOTE GOD to make him look more human than what He is and then in turn they deify man and they make us look a lot more like god than what we really are. -Justin Peters, Dangerous Doctrines-
People love the Joel Osteen types. "Tell me beautiful things. Do not tell me that I am sinning or that God would ever send me to hell. If you tell me that then you're a heretic" so preachers compromise to a "feel good" message. We have preachers writing their own bibles and people do not know the discrepancies because they never knew what the real Bible said in the first place. These people are seeking to be Kings and Queens on this earth. They believe that anyone who is saved should be perfect so anyone who is physically ill is not saved.

Homosexuality and More Are Becoming Acceptable
Fornication and cohabitation is so acceptable and normal within the church that people never give it a thought at all. The average church goer and professing Christian person nowadays does not want to discuss what the Bible says about perversion. In fact the law has stepped in on this one and said that
Read Deuteronomy 4:2
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.Deuteronomy 4 verse 2 and
Revelation 22:18-19(verse 18) For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
(verse 19) And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book.Revelation 22 verses 18-19
Embroiled in long-running controversies like the ordination of women bishops and the role of gay priests, the Anglican Church in Britain has lost its way.
Policy makers in the Church of England should know that when we determine to follow God's instructions, we must live up to all His standards. God doesn't permit us to rewrite His rules simply because humankind is naturally inclined to premarital sex, adultery, homosexuality or any other sin. A church has no real option but to strictly adhere to God's biblical standards.
What must God think of any organization that claims to represent Him but ignores His explicit instructions from both the Old and New Testaments? The Judeo/Christian Bible should be the source of doctrine, belief and practice. -www.ucg.org/doctrinal-beliefs/state-nation-britain-serious-moral-decline/-
Sounds like America. We live in a generation that is so puffed up with pride (Galatians 2:6But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed [to be somewhat] in conference added nothing to me.Galatians 2 verse 6) and which loves money more than God. A generation that refuses to humble itself before the Almighty God to repent of anything, to beg Him for mercy. And we are proud enough to believe that this Almighty God would never send anyone to hell or we place degrees on sin and make our own sin something better than someone else's sin. Sin has no degrees with God but these preachers who are misleading the flock will endure a far greater punishment than others. The Bible does indicate that there will be degrees of punishment.
Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment. James 3:1 (NKJV)My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.James 3 (KJV) verse 1
And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and [love] salutations in the marketplaces, And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation. Mark 12:38-40
