T.D. Jakes is the founder and senior pastor of one of the largest churches in the nation, The Potter’s House, in Dallas, TX. Jakes is a well-known prosperity gospel preacher who has embraced not only the heresy of the Word of Faith movement but also a heretical view of the trinity known as modalism.

The Prosperity Gospel–also known as “Health and Wealth Gospel,” “Name it and Claim it,” and “Word of Faith”–is a perversion of the biblical gospel that teaches that the primary purpose of Jesus’ death and resurrection is to create material gain for those who have enough “faith.” Other prominent adherents to this false gospel are found primarily in the charismatic movement and include prominent figures such as Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, and Joel Osteen.

As we’ve repeated over and over, this false movement exists for the sole purpose of making money. It’s why Jakes is not only a prosperity charlatan but he’s also gone out of his way to keep his circle of colleagues in the business with him. A few years ago, Jakes laid hands on former Joel Osteen associate, John Gray, who cheated on his wife as he bought her hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts including a Lamborghini in order to appease her, and “anointed him” with oil.

Jakes also once gave his fellow charlatan, Steven Furtick, a bronze statue of David because, Jakes said, the giant was “under his feet.” In return, Furtick claps and cheers as Jakes sexually degrades his wife from the pulpit and Furtick says his kids believe that Jakes wrote parts of the Bible. These men are unshaken by the fame and notoriety brought upon themselves in the name of Christ—they have surely received their reward now.

Now, in Jakes’s latest act of shoring up his family wealth, in a sermon titled T.D. Jakes Passes the Torch to Sarah Jakes Roberts, he anoints his daughter-in-law with oil, “slays her in the spirit,” and calls her into “ministry.”
