'Check in my spirit' fund raising sermon |
Link |
I had an idea a long time ago for something along the lines of a satire of some of the unseemly extremes of prosperity preaching, but couldn't think of a way to do it without it being mean. But maybe this would work.
Have a video of a puppet preaching and post it online. Call it 'How NOT to preach on finances.'
The puppet says, "People tell me, 'Preacher, when you preach about money, I get a check in my spirit. Well, now, don't you leave that check in your spirit. You've got to activate that check. Get out your checkbook and right that check. Make sure you've got something that is not a zero on the left. But put a whole bunch of zeros on the right. And then mail that check to me. That check 'aint doing you no good in your spirit. Sow that check, so you can get lots more checks in your spirit." _________________ Link |

That is really funny. And very good satire because unfortunately it doesn't seem far from reality. |

You must take that check out of the spiritual realm and bring it into the physical realm for you to be blessed.
To be a millionaire in your heart is not the same as being a millionaire at the bank. |

Yeah, with some of the TV preachers. And 'check in my spirit' must sound odd to people who aren't familiar with it. There are a lot of Charismatic terms like that.
I'm imagining gifts for Father's Day, now, an African American themed line of Charismatic neck ties called 'soul ties.'
If someone wrote a big enough check, they could get the soul tie as a love gift. _________________ Link |
