Word of Faith “preachers“…
Tulsa, OK named and claimed it
then prophetically proclaimed it:
Ken and Gloria invested—
slick, convincing, uncontested.
Pretty-boy preachers wowed the flock,
making Christ the laughing stock;
their best lives, yielding heresies:
out-phariseeing Pharisees—
as if their western cowboy drawls
could bless impulsive bank withdrawals.
Peculiar to the U.S.A.
where truth is prophesied away
and churches spring like tares and breed
while tele-preachers intercede
for breakthroughs, blessings, Mammon’s gold,
their folly long ago foretold
in frenzied tones; the healing tongue
counts dollars where Paul counted dung.
I’m sure they all believe it’s true . . .
they know it justifies fleecing you.
CONNECT/HOOK 
I do believe the god they worship is money and like our senate and congress love to be the center of attention and believe the entertainment they use to distract the masse is worth the money they steal. Self serving greed seeks any source that gives them the power to feed. It’s destroying faith in every western institution. Jesus is shrugging His shoulders and the whole thing is tumbling down…

Let it tumble! I am disgusted with the whole Pentecostal/Charismatic side of American churchianity, because I was in it for the first 15 years of my life in Christ.
Check this great channel for background on the frauds and charlatans who began the charismania back in the early 2oth century:

Religion is deceptive in and of itself, no matter the denominational flavor. Jesus didn’t come to earth to establish a new religion and the only truly Biblical ‘religion’ is the Jewish religion. There are true believers in every denomination but it’s their personal relationship with God that defines them not the institution they are part of. I think of Jesus visiting synagogues to teach and rebuke the religious leaders who place themselves and their traditions between God and man. Religiosity is a sin and many leaders are too in love with their power to surrender it to Christ but there are some like Nicodemus…and those true believers trapped and made ineffective by false religion. I can’t say I’m in church anymore, even though I’m a member of Christ’s called out company…I don’t hate the institution? but I don’t need it? I still miss fellowship with other believers but I have no need to serve some other ministry besides the one Jesus unfolds before me every day. Truly, it’s about how we live and treat others, simple. That has to power to free humanity from the need of any governing institution that places itself in the seat of God. None are better or worse than any other, they’re all human, not divine. My two cents lol
