Here's Justin Peters again; I'm liking him more and more. In this video he exposes the heresy of the WOF preachers' teaching that everyone is supposed to be healed, and if they aren't, it's because they didn't have enough faith. Those he exposes include Copeland, Joyce Meyers, Fred Price, Benny Hinn, and others.
I can tell you from experience what a horrible guilt trip that can put on you. At the time my husband was dying, I was involved in WOF. I kept praying, making "positive confessions," played teaching tapes non-stop...people I didn't know in the hospital would come up to me and say things like, "We've heard about you and your great faith. If ever anyone got their miracle, surely it'll be you!" Well, he died anyway. I really felt like it was my own fault - that he died because I didn't have enough faith.
I was so distraught that I called Kenneth Copeland Ministries, and their response was, "Well, sometimes God heals through death." Funny, I never heard that in any of his sermons!
In retrospect, my husband's death was a blessing. He was an abuser, and I'm well to be free of him. I led him to the Lord a few days before he died, and people started getting saved right over his casket! His death gave me a desire to get souls saved, and I have no doubt my life is better without him that it would have been with him if he had lived. (And no, I don't believe he'd have gotten saved if he wasn't at death's door.)
BTW, you'll learn on this video that Justin has cerebral palsy; that explains why he's always sitting down and isn't more expressive.
