I have still many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them or to take them upon you or to grasp them now. But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].
JOHN 16:1213
T he news media has tried repeatedly to cast a negative light on my ministry because I teach people that God wants them to prosper. As a result, some people think my success in ministry has come from some type of gimmick or wrongdoing. Some preachers have called me one of the name-it-and-claim-it preachers. Those who speak negatively about me have chosen to believe that I had to do something wrong in order to achieve the success of World Changers Church International and Creflo Dollar Ministries.
However, the truth is, I cant give myself the credit for my successall the credit belongs to God. I simply follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit in all that I do. The Holy Spirit has always led me to success, not just financially but in every arena of life. Words cannot express how much I appreciate having Him as my guide. Sometimes I become so overwhelmed with gratefulness that I have to stop at the side of the road and, right there in my car, give Him praise and thanksgiving. He deserves all the credit for every successful endeavor in my life.
For instance, He helped rescue me from deaths grip in a horrible car accident in 2000; He helped our church purchase a $17 million World Dome debt free; He led me to my beautiful wife, Taffi, my spiritual father, Kenneth Copeland, and other great men and women in the body of Christ, and so much more! And God is not through with me yet! This is only the beginning!
I believe I am well qualified to teach on the subject of the Holy Spirit. I have not always followed His leading perfectly, but He has always gotten me to where I needed to be each time I have yielded to Him. The things He has led me to do dont always make sense to other people, but His leading always agrees with Gods will. He has always led me to truth, and He continues to give me new revelations as I continue to grow in ministry.
Some people think the Holy Spirit is spooky or a feeling. If you are one of those people, allow me to introduce you to Him. You will find that there is nothing spooky about the Holy Spirit. As a matter of fact, I dont see how a Christian can be effective in life without Him. I call Him my unseen partner, and if you are a born-again Christian, He is also your unseen partner. The day you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit came to dwell inside your re-created spirit. Yes, Hes in there! And He wants you to acknowledge His presence (John 14:1617).
The subject of the Holy Spirit is one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted subjects among Christians and non-Christians. Many people are afraid to hear sermons about the Holy Spirit because of incorrect teachings and doctrines. The topic of speaking in tongues and the gifts of the Spirit are often shunned with fear. However, there is nothing fearful about Him. He doesnt seek to harm us but to comfort and guide us. He desires to work through us so that we can experience the power that God ordained every Christian to have and use in these last days.
