I found some of her tapes in my library and did a little internet search on her about two weeks ago just to see what she was up to. Negative reviews are coming in. It's hard to tell exactly why, from your post, Meyer should be indicted for embelzzlement and fraud, if she owed a band back pay. The authors of an article on [
www.pfo.org], TG. Richard Fisher and Paul R. Belli, have some interesting things to say about Meyer, and if they are being truthful, sounds like she might be another superstar in tele-evangelism, except the Christian critics think she doesn't know her stuff, and the authors say she is plaigarizing others. Makes me think of Werner E. I didn't have this tape that has the following passage on being a sinner.
"Meyer also declared on the tape that she no longer is a sinner:
“I’m going to tell you something folks, I didn’t stop sinning until I finally got it through my thick head I wasn’t a sinner anymore. And the religious world thinks that’s heresy and they want to hang you for it. But the Bible says that I’m righteous and I can’t be righteous and be a sinner at the same time ... All I was ever taught to say was, ‘I’m a poor, miserable sinner.’ I am not poor, I am not miserable and I am not a sinner. That is a lie from the pit of hell. That is what I was and if I still am then Jesus died in vain. Amen?”
WORD WIZARDRY (my note - sounds familiar)
Meyer, in her new book, writes, “Words are containers for power” (The Name, The Word, The Blood, pg. 37). Word-Faith teachers advocate that through speaking and positive affirmations we can create our own reality. They usually refer to Genesis 1 and show that God spoke the world into existence and extrapolate that we, too, can speak creative words and can speak reality into existence.
The fact that the premise breaks down because we are not God does not deter Meyer from saying, “Remember then, that the Word of God is both spirit and life, use wisdom and begin speaking life to your situation” (ibid., pg. 38).
