Mega Preachers Exposed Part 1. A closer look at Paula White

A closer look into the world of a preacher or you could say Celebrity or Mega Preacher that is Paula White. She's one of the Top 15 Preachers or as they call them TV Evangelists in the US at the moment and is also a Spiritual Adviser to Donald Trump....that's a particularly good place to be at this time in the US. This article was originally going to be called False Preachers Part 2 as a follow on from the highly successful "False Preachers and Mega Churches" It would have featured another collection of many Prosperity and Faith Gospel Preacher types but something about this woman caught the eye for some reason, so this is an in depth look at what Paula White preaches, her life, and a look to see whether she is a false preacher or whether she is legit and above board? This could become a series featuring other Mega Preachers.

Why Paula White you may ask? There's loads of Preachers out there like her? She's attractive, wholesome looking, on first listening especially this condensed preaching session video below, she sort of appears legitimate and innocent enough, I have to admit she sucked me in, not hook, line and sinker, but she had me listening what she had to say. I was still there 10 minutes later which to put it mildly is a bit worrying and I had a tough time trying to switch the video off and it ran it's course to it's full length. Normally within a maximum of 5 minutes I've sussed that person out, leave in a well rehearsed hasty exit, normally accompanied by either a shaking of my head or chuckling or both ............never to return! BUT this one, worryingly kept me hanging in there waiting for the punch line just like a Cobra mesmerising it's pray before the kill, or a Rabbit caught in an oncoming cars headlights. I thought if I'm in the faith and I'm getting sucked in by this woman, what hope does the normal man in the street have of discerning whether this woman is above board or not. Hence this article to shed some light and let people know what's out there and how tricky it can be to discrern whether these people are the real deal or not!

There is a quote in the Bible that very much applies to these End Times and about the many False Preachers and Prophets that will appear in these times. They are mentioned as wolves in sheep clothing. It's a verse that is quoted often in relation to False Preachers

Matthew 7:15
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. KJV

So the question is this, is Paula White in this category as in a False Preacher or is she a sheep in sheeps clothing as in a Servant of God bringing God's CORRECT word to the masses with good intentions? This video below sheds some light, it's not the full sermon but it gives a pretty good idea of what she is all about? !0 seconds in you'll either love her or hate her.

Video 1 "The Jesus You Always Wanted to Know" by Pastor Paula White



Video 1 Analysis
1. Luke warm safety preaching which is neither hot or cold.
2. The Anti Prosperity Gospel, a novel new approach finger wagging at the cosy middle class, but her Net Worth is $5M or so? Practice what you preach seems to apply here!
3. I agree with what she is saying about Jesus, the company he kept and he preferred sinners to the righteous but again if she practiced what she preached she would walk as he walked. He being Jesus!
4. There is mention of a woman who was married 5 times. In her private life this woman has been married three times?
5. She just seems to be reiterating the bible without any major issues or discrepancies or twistings but in this short period of time there is nothing much happening in the way of teachings or deeper lessons here.
6. The preaching is a distilled and sanitised version of the word.
7. Cobra Preaching or Car Headlights and Rabbits syndrome. She uses her feminine charms to full advantage in her sermon with a lot of hand signs..I mean a lot....this is not a good sign

The Common Trait of False Preachers
The one thing or many things you will notice with in particular the Propserity preachers, Mega Church Preachers and other False Preachers and Prophet types is one/some or all of the following

1. They may appear angelic, will be softly spoken and will have neutral luke warm views on all things but their lives speak a different story
2. OR they sometimes may appear more forceful or even aggressive and use the brainwashing technique to win you over with their preaching which is basically Heresy but because it is delivered with force and confidently it just has to be right?
3. They may use the confusion technique and bombard you with so many facts at a frightening rate, you walk out more confused about the Bible than when you walked in, BUT you'll come back for more as these types are normally good entertainers and know how to exercise control over an audience
4. They prey on Biblical Illiteracy but if you check closely the quoted verses may have very subtle changes and may have been made to fit in with their theology and sermon
5. They will tell you what you want to hear not what God wants you to hear...it's the ear tickling syndrome as in 2 Timothy 4:3.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
6. They may distill, compress, dilute and liquidise God's word so much and then add their own herbs and spices so that all meaning and potency and flavour is lost and changed. Rather like comparing an organic free range hand reared hand made Burger with a Big Mac. They are both hamburgers but one is so processed it loses all it's resemblance to what it originally was and has to be dressed up with items to inject some flavour back into it but changing it radically in the process.
7. They may use the heart string tugging technique or watch for emotional responses from the audience and use that to great effect especially when donations are on the agenda.
8. The sermon will always have a powerful punch line and woven within that punch line will be some call for to "help for the ministry" or "donate to help XYZ group of people" or just "donate to keep this ministry on air" or "donate to help yourself" the old "give and you shall receive" line. The punch line carrot will be dangled throughout the sermon to keep you on the edge of your seat.
9. Many use their hands and body as a powerful way to communicate subliminally with occult hand symbols being slipped in during the sermon, most of which people are not even aware of. Check this article called False Ministries and Occult Hand signs The actual signs are half way down this massive article. WARNING it's an eye opener!
10. These preachers are very slick operators but the dead giveaway is their fruit, it's the main way to judge them. Fancy clothes, huge mansions, private jets and cars to match then their fruits are "the self", "materialism", "Vanity" and "self Promotion". If Jesus was around these days would he have or even want these things...I think not those mansions would have been sold to help the needy and he would have slept on Donald Trumps sofa.......or maybe not?
11. Blasphemy will often be woven into a sermon very cleverly, a sure sign of a False Preacher
12 AND here's the thing, these preachers could preach a false Gospel BUT they truly believe they are preaching the true Gospel and are doing everybody a great favour by doing so.
13: Finally look at the Congregation. What do you see and you will get your answer right there!

There are many more but you get the idea. These people are not of God, they are not Christian, they are of or serve something else.

A very relevant Bible verse that mentions testing of the Spirit or what you could call "Discernment"

1. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1

Video No2 Paula White Throws Bible Onto The Floor & (Torah scroll repeatedly)
A totally different video from Video 1 shedding a different light or more to the point darkness on Paula White and a bit more of the truth about her seems to be revealed here. This is a collection of short clips of Paula White in preaching mode and quite blatantly and shockingly throwing the Bible on the floor when she has finished using it as a reference. This is not a one off but has happened on a number of occasions. One of the sermons even mentions respecting God's word whilst dropping the Bible on the floor? A harmless habit or maybe a trademark (all Preachers have them) or is something more going on here?



Analysis Video 2
1. If a persons jacket get's preferential treatment and a Bible amongst many sermons get's thrown on the floor repeatedly, what signal does that send out to the world about God's word, Christianity and that person's attitude towards The Bible/Christianity?..... Intentional or just a number of coincidences?
2. Why isn't the Bible kept to one side on the lectern OR get a bigger Lectern OR give the Bible to her assistant and have it treated the same way as her jacket?
3. She says "There is no glory without the reverence of God.......so if we disrespect God we are not going to have favour" accompanied by another Bible throwing on the floor????
There is no need for a No4

Video 3 Analysis
In this video, there is an in depth analysis of Paula White, her history, lifestyle and private life and you could say her fruits. there is no analysis of this video, none is needed but you can form your own opinion. Joyce Meyer also features. There is no need to go any deeper with a Video 4!



John 10:11-15
11. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.


Summary
This isn't a singling out of a particular preacher, Paula White caught my eye and on first viewing she seemed watchable and entertaining and yes she's a looker for sure and spins a good sermon. She's got a huge following on You Tube and Twitter and in the real world, so what has been said here will upset a few fans. But on closer inspection many thorns are apparent and she bears the same resemblance as many other TV style preachers out there. The delivery and style is different but the ultimate message is the same.

Vid: A video featuring the owner of this website sheds some light titled 15 Signs of a False Preacher

Questions you need to ask:. Are these preachers of God? Are they in dwelt by the Holy Spirit? You will know them by their Fruit, the Fruit of the Spirit. Are they walking as he walked and living as he lived? Is their Theology questionable and their doctrine unsound? Where is their love. Is it with Jesus and firmly in Christianity or is it somewhere else as in money and materialism.......... as the saying goes "The Love of Money is the root of all evil". Jesus said what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart (Matthew 15:18). Where are these people's hearts? Are they leading you to the light and Jesus or are they leading you straight into darkness and a different Christ that has the word Anti in front of it mentioned in one of the above videos?

If they (preachers) are on TV then you can bet that they are false. Why.....all the major TV networks that broadcast this stuff are owned by the same people. See The Illuminati in the Entertainment Industry. Here's something you may want to take on board regarding any TV preachers from olivetjournal.com

Assume that they are all false.
And, do not bother trying to figure them out,
but simply stay away.


On a personal level I still like Paula White but I have seen enough to help me decide that her Sermons, Books and whatever else will unfortunately have to be avoided but regardless she will continue to be a success in her field. Who knows she may wake up one day, see the light, decide to sell everything, give it to the homeless and other needy, live in a shack and carry on Preaching or decide to adopt the Monastic life and become a Nun . I see goodness in this woman (briefly) which is why I probably gave her more time than most, but it's being corrupted by the powers that be in this world which is a terrible shame.
