Word of Faith teachers and preachers would have us believe God’ desire is that believers live in abundance and perfect health, lacking nothing.
“Some people come to me and say, well I came here to get some peace, not money, and I tell them, you NEED money otherwise you ain't gunna get no peace. Some people say it's about peace, joy and love. NO!! It's about MONEY!” Creflo Dollar
