 OK, It’s a Brand New Year. Has Copeland’s Prophecy to Steven Lowery Ben Fulfilled? |
Old Time Country Preacher |
| Been almost a year ago when Copeland stood in the North Cleveland COG and purportedly spoke for Jesus, telling Lowery he would experience an immediate 10-Fold increase. I ain’t seen a thing in the Evangel or Faith News about the fulfillment. Did it happen? If not, was Jesus wrong? |

| Hey, OTCP, let me help you out.... |
Aaron Scott |
I am going to BOLDLY state that (you heard it here first!): Copeland was WRONG.
Is he a false prophet? Why, of course he is! In fact, he is almost certainly Satan incarnate. After all--wait for it--HE MISSED IT. He didn't get it right. He was wrong. He exaggerated. He is guilty of hubris and hyperbole.
He is almost certainly going to burn in hell for ALL ETERNITY because he got in the flesh. And there's nothing anyone can do. It's almost certainly out of God's hand's, too. After all, God has you helping Him out to remind everyone, over and over and over and over and over and over and over that Copeland, WOFers, and, basically, any Pentecostal that actually believes God does miracles, is a moron akin to snake handlers.
Thank you, OTCP, for not failing to remind us over and over how enjoying pretty much anything Copeland has to offer is a demonic compromise. ANYONE that thinks that folks might walk on water, or the God wants to heal ALL the sick folks is of the devil. Why, the next thing you know we'll start believing God wants to SAVE everyone. What rot!
Your service is appreciated. I hope you'll give all of us a master class in how to never, never, never miss it. That way, we can just flat out avoid praying for ANYONE who isn't going to get healed. 'kay? |

| Under the Law, "missing it" was a capital offense. I reckon they weren't as quick to speak in God's name as charismatics tend to be. |

Aaron, son, I love ya an all, but you got this thing all twisted outta sorts. OTCP believes in miracles. OTCP believes God heals physically in 2018. OTCP believes in the supernatural power/manifestation/presence of the living God. OTCP has had miracles occur in his own life/ministry. What OTCP DOES NOT BELIEVE is that ever fruit cake what yells Jesus is the real thing. |

| It would be good to remember ... |
Mat |
It would be good to remember that Steve did not give this prophecy, and at the time it was given, if I remember right, it was at his father's (T. L.'s) funeral. I'm guessing Steve is still Pastor of the church in the D.C. area his father was Pastor of and that he continues to minister.
In the early 1960s my parents bought a house the next street over from the Lowery's home in the neighborhood off of 25th across from where the new COG offices was built - COG owned a bunch of homes in that neighborhood - but I think the Lowerys owned theirs. Steve and I would play together (he was just a little older), and I remember him having a hand ax we would cut down small trees with (in their backyard) and we would have bullwhip "fights" with the Mexican bullwhips our dad's would bring us from their travels. I remember being in their home and seeing T.L. in his study. I think I remember going to a tent revival where he preached.
Now for those who discount the children of ministers based on their father's ministry, consider there may be a "reap what you sow" result in your own family. I am always amazed at the number of preacher's kids who not only reject the call to ministry, but often reject their father's ministry by not attending his church or any church in the movement he has severed in, if they go to church at all. Worst of all many reject Jesus Christ and are filled with bitterness at being raised as a preacher's kid. Now we must ask, who was "false" with their children?

This is a potent comment Mat. One that has a very deep meaning. I thought of copying it and putting it on as a separate thread. PK's are all over the 'board (life)' in their take on Christianity & ministry. I have observed friends over my life time many are sarcastic concerning the "Church World."

Mat,
This touched a nerve with me. It breaks my heart that both of my children have rejected my ministry. They quit attending when they became adults and though I have walked away from pastoring they will not attend even where we are now.
There is not a day goes by that I don't blame myself. They are both responsible people. Good productive citizens. No alcohol or drugs. No shacking up. No violence. But they have rejected the church.
Thank God for people like T.L. Lowery who raise up a man like Stephen Lowery!
As to Copeland, I don't know the intent of his heart in doing that. He apparently spoke from the flesh. Truly God knows the intents of the heart and He will one day judge. He will judge every word and every action. Every work. We should ALL live and act accordingly! |

Mat, I don't want to speak for OTCP, but I don't think anyone is calling Steve Lowry's integrity into question in regard to this prophecy. If the prophecy indeed was false (and we know that it was because Kenneth Copeland teaches false doctrine with near endless enthusiasm, and thus cannot be a true prophet of God) then what happened here was that a false teacher seized the opportunity of Steve's father's funeral to do his thing. That calls into question the wisdom of whoever allowed Copeland to take the platform and get a microphone, but it doesn't say anything about Lowry, IMO, other than that he deserves sympathy and prayer for having been victimized by this wolf on the day of his father's funeral. |

Well, I can support vetting people who are on stage at church. Those who are going to speak/preform/sing/play music/preach/pray/teach before a congregation who has gathered in a place dedicated to God should be vetted. That being the case, on any given Sunday, in some churches there are drunks and those who use drugs, adulterers and fornicators, homosexuals and bisexuals, blasphemers and the profane, and a host of others who should not be on stage. Now that just covers praise teams, choir (and director) and the band, but in their defense they can sing that song and play that music like nobody else (why it makes the hair stand up on your neck they sound so good)  .
Having Copeland on stage may not have been the best choice. Was it Steve's choice or his dad's (or mother's) wishes? There have been many funerals I have presided over, spoken at and attended where the family had someone speak whom I would not have had, but I can not account for what they say, I must account for my own spirit and words. Perhaps there is more the words of Jesus to consider when he said, "Let the dead bury the dead."

Funerals also often have "open mic" times when anyone can share, perhaps ultimately against the wishes of both the presiding minister and the family. Perhaps Copeland put his name on a list and was up on the platform before anyone could think better of it. I did read that he wasn't specifically invited, but was just a normal attendee.
That said, I agree with you. The only people who have to give account for Copeland's words are Copeland himself and those who continue to defend him as a true prophet of God. |

Mat, Steven Lowery IS NOT the point of this thread. Steven Lowery IS NOT at fault. This thread is solely about Kenneth Copeland's prophecy that he (Copeland) said he received directly from Jesus. The prophecy was given to Steven Lowery. The thesis here is not Lowery, it is Copeland. |

I'm glad you clarified your remarks and made a definitive statement about Steve not being the focus of the reoccurring appearance of this subject matter. It would be unfair to Steve's ministry to overlook the blessings of the Lord he has experienced by quantifying them with a false metric. People who compare ministers by the "but" standard (as in he is doing good, but he is not measuring up to ....) are doing harm to that minister, and at the same time they are inviting critical review of their own ministry.
