Lord KelvinAll I can say is Bishop Jakes would not currently accept the designation of Prosperity Preacher or Word of Faith Preacher as an accurate description of what he believes currently.

Will KimbroughThe Bible is not considered an accurate, absolute, authoritative, or authoritarian source but a book to be experienced and one experience can be as valid as any other can.

And then consciously take steps to solve the problem.

Let the world tell you when you're wrong, and you'll soon build enough experience to make accurate, intelligent decisions.
