The Appeal of the Word Of Faith

I have often wondered why the Word Of Faith movement (or Word-Faith movement) is such a popular flavor of modern Christianity. With the exception of Billy Graham and Luis Palau, it seems as if the only ministers who could fill a stadium are Word Of Faith ministers or those closely associated with the movement (Meyer, Copeland, Hinn, Hickey, Jakes, etc.)

It is said that the top 4 things and we seek in life are:

1) Wealth
2) Health
3) Power
4) Entertainment

The Word Of Faith provides answers to these quests:

1) Prosperity on DEMAND.
2) Promise of a life free from sickness and disease or what's called divine health.
3) The teaching that we have authority over about anything that can come our way.
4) A life filled with glorious experiences with "the anointing."

However, most of us who were once Word Of Faith come out of the movement very disillusioned and with the feeling that we've been used, abused, manipulated, and lied to.

This blog will share the stories of many of us who have come out of the Word Of Faith movement in the hopes that we can help those who are on their way out and are currently experiences some of the things we did many years ago.
