What's the Truth About Joyce Meyer and the Word-Faith Movement?
by Cky J. Carrigan, Ph.D. (March 2001, rev. June 2005)
I am very concerned about Joyce Meyer and her doctrine because she is wholly aligned with the "Word-Faith Movement" which is a seriously flawed doctrinal system based on the heretical teachings of Kenneth Hagin and Kenneth Copeland.
Hagin and Copeland, together with other supporters of this religious movement, teach that God is SUBJECT to the power of FAITH and is OBLIGATED to grant every request made in FAITH. They also teach that God and Man are the same kind of being, which elevates the nature of man and undermines the nature of God.
I do not mean to cast doubts on Mrs. Meyer's salvation, her motives, or her sincerity. I have no reason to believe that she is not a heaven-bound Christian. I am compelled, however, to recommend strongly that all biblical Christians distance themselves from the ministry of Joyce Meyer, her television program, her books, and her conferences because of her association with the devastating errors of the Word-Faith Movement.
Please consult the following articles to find out more about Joyce Meyer and the Word-Faith Movement and decide for yourself.
