...Because Oprah is Deceived
"For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist." II John 1:7
Are you one of the millions who follow Oprah Winfrey? One of the individuals who hang on her every word and watch her show religiously?
If so, then you should take a few minutes to watch this video...especially if you consider yourself a Christian.
What was the crux of Oprah's issue? Attendance at a church service decades ago where she heard that God was a jealous God. The idea that God would be jealous of her just astounded Oprah and didn't "feel right with her spirit." Well, no wonder. God is not jealous "of" man, God is jealous "for" man. Why would any person think so highly of themselves that they would believe God is jealous of them?
When the Scriptures say that God is jealous, they are speaking of Him being personally invested in protecting His own righteousness. In other words, He protects and sanctifies that which belongs to Him and does not take lightly the defilement of those things.
Can a failure to understand this one aspect of God's character really be to blame for Oprah abandoning the Christian faith? No. What we have seen in Oprah is the same that is seen in many others. Namely, people use any excuse to do what they really want to do anyway. Anyone who truly desires truth will seek it earnestly.
Do Oprah's beliefs matter? Is it okay to be a "fan" of Oprah Winfrey even though she denies Jesus Christ and teaches others that He is a liar? If Jesus is not who HE says He is - but who Oprah says He is - then that makes Him a liar.
"And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." I John 4:3
Know that everything she does is about promoting and undergirding her belief system. Oprah is considered a marketing force because of the large amount of power she has in shaping people's minds. Once Oprah endorses something, it sells like hotcakes...all she has to do is say the word.
What is she selling you?
"Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." Ephesians 5:6-11
Amen and amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen again. We as believers must pray, prayand pray.
ReplyDeleteWell, as my eyes have been opened to the deceptions and trickery, it appears that she is one of many in the entertainments and showbiz world.
ReplyDeleteOprah has serious issues if she believes God is jealous of her, I had to laugh out loud when she said that nonsense.
ReplyDeleteWhen the woman asked her that question, she was all pausing & mumbling trying to figuire out, how to word her nonsensical lies!
Oprahs garbage & you cant be a True Christian & support her by watching her shows, End Of!
Oprah sounds like an idiot in this video. She is just babbling on, if you asked her to make her thoughts into something coherent she'd be unable to.
ReplyDeleteand honestly oprah, that excuse does not hold water "I left God because he was jealous of me" you mean she didn't ask the pastor what he meant by that? she just turned her back on God from that moment on? pull the other, Oprah.
It is such a shame that Oprah has chosen to align herself with the devil. it is very sad because she knew the Truth and still knows it today.
It is my hope that Oprah still come to know Jesus Christ. Right now, she is deceiving people, so I have to tell the truth. But my hope is that she come out of this deception (as would be my hope for any other).
ReplyDeleteGod says that the wisdom of this world is foolishness, and that is so true. Many think these people are wise, but that is primarily based on perceptions about their position in the world. She is a person, just like anyone else...no greater and no less.
I too was surprised that she would take one misunderstanding of Scripture and use that as a reason to rebel against God. But, that is what man does.
The Scriptures say that we love darkness more than light because our deeds are evil. That is so true. We will not come to Jesus as long as there is some sin we still want to do.
The time is coming where each man must choose on which side we will stand. May we each choose wisely.
Have to keep Oprah in Prayer. She is in a very powerful position and is leading so many people in the wrong direction
ReplyDeletewell i only lately learned about this website through our youth ministies camp and trust me i dont regret at all i am learning thanks to god caz i mean the devil was snatching me slowly and subtilly but no more jesus is setting me free and who the son has set free is free indeed. continue to tear up the dvil kingdom God done got your back and i am in for some truth
ReplyDeleteWe must make up our mind, take time, fast and pray. Fasting from secular media has done wonders for me in the past and I'm ready to do another 21 day fast!
