Laodicean Con Man Joel Osteen Releases 'Your Best Life Now' Board Game (VIDEO)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:14-16

Joel Osteen Wants You To Play His Board Game

Joel Osteen preaches “another gospel”. A gospel designed to delight the hearer and tickle their ears. He is to bible preaching what Coca Cola and cotton candy are to a balanced diet – deadly. His “words of wisdom” have more in common with eastern mysticism than they do with the gospel of Jesus Christ. He wants to to imagine all the carnal goodies your flesh desires, then speak affirming words to “bring them to you”. 

“God has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family” From Your Best Life Now, p.132

“If you are believing for your child to find God, go help somebody else’s child to develop a relationship with God. If you’re struggling financially, go out and help somebody who has less than you have … f you want to reap financial blessings, you must sow financial seeds in the lives of others … If you want to see healing and restoration come to your life, go out and help somebody else get well” From Your Best Life Now, pp. 224, 250-51

Osteen says he offers of ‘message of hope’ but its a false hope that runs counter to the message of biblical Christianity. The bible says that God uses sickness, suffering, disease and loss of goods to refine us and strengthen us. Did you know that? Osteen promises you a better tomorrow here on earth. God does not. God is concerned with your life in eternity more than you brief snippet of a life here and now. Osteen tries in vain to give you your best life now, God says you will get your best life in Heaven.

In the New Testament, we are called to a life of suffering for the Lord Jesus Christ. How many times has Joel every preached on that? Next to none. And why? Because suffering doesn’t pay, telling people they are going to get it in the neck if they stand for Jesus Christ won’t fill the seats in a basketball arean of a church. 

This is what the bible says about the Christian life:

“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:” 1 Peter 2:21

“Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;” Hebrews 11:25

“Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.” 1 Peter 4:16

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Matthew 16:24

As you can see, the perverted theology of Joel Osteen has nothing to do with New Testament Christianity. Osteen preaches a carnal, worldly, fleshly, syrupy false gospel that in no way will save your soul or prepare you to stand at the Judgment Seat of Jesus Christ in that day.

      Luke 6:38 ESV

      Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

      Proverbs 11:24-25 ESV

      One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.

      Philippians 4:19 ESV

      And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
      Proverbs 22:9 – He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

      Luke 12:27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 28″But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith!…

      I think the point is well made that the Love of Wealth should not become more important than the Love of God and our neighbors, our fellow Human Beings. By being a loving and giving person, caring and kind , being of service to others , we can have faith that our needs and prayers will be answered and we will be taken care of. Their is a balance in life involving Giving and Receiving. This does not mean we do not suffer in this Life, or have sorrows that make us grow spiritually. I do not see any discrepancy in what Joel is teaching, or some Other Doctrine. However, I have seen Christian Televangelists that are clearly in it for the money. Joel has embraced the True Spirit of Christianity. Only if Mankind Unites in Love for one another will we be walking in the way that Jesus Christ taught. I do not believe that Joel Osteen is teaching people that they can pray and fill their coffers with material goods. He is teaching a principle of Faith in God . Matthew 21:21
      Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.

      How do people look at this wax dummy and think he’s authentic?

      I’m unsure of my position on Olsteen, but attacking him on the position that the bible says that God uses sickness, suffering, disease and loss of goods to refine us and strengthen us is false doctrine!

      Jesus isn’t saying in Matthew 16 that suffering is to go get a touch of pneumonia or to go infect yourself with a virus before following me. Many of Jesus’s miracles were to heal people from their sicknesses. Even Jesus’s disciples healed people. Sickness, disease and death is a product of the nature of sin. Jesus came to give us life!

      “These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;”

      The first ever mono deity religion was invented by the inbred Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep IV, c1’300 bce. … Oh the irony.

        And Christians don’t know they are praying to Amen…calling on his name

    • bella

      Both sides of this issue are a crock.

      Joel Osteen’s ministry is very deceptive, and he fills people’s ears with words that they want to hear. We have earned preaching like his with the sins of our society. I’m sure someone who preached truthfully against the Illuminati and their various evil agendas in a church would be horribly persecuted, and his church would be empty due to lack of tax exempt status for churchgoers to write off their donations.

      Christians suffer in this world, because we fear God and therefore will not take advantage of others for personal gain to make our lives easier. Many times, Christians suffer because they are trying to help others. Contrast Christians with the Illuminati and their NWO apparatchiks, who brutally exploit the weak to live richly here on Earth. We are all sinners deserving of Hell, but God’s son, Jesus Christ, gave His life for our sins on the cross, was buried three days and then resurrected. Faith in Jesus Christ gives us forgiveness and eternal life in Heaven.

      Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 2 Timothy 3:12

      And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. Luke 6:20-26

      Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. James 4:8-10

      Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:1-5
