JESSE duPLANTIS...SHAME ON YOU

Sometimes I have to recover my senses to understand what I have just witnessed. I have been aware of the New Orleans evangelist..Jesse DuPlantis..former rock musician..substance abuser..ner-do-well..Well I believed that he had a good experience with his salvation encounter..and that he realized that all of us who have transgressed are in the same boat..and that the GOD who sent HIS SON for our redemption, was the same GOD who would lead us home and to the cross where the plan that HE had for our lives, would eventually in HIS time come. I must say that this young man..now older man..has come mega steps into the fray as one who now understands that GOD wants him and all those who hear his voice..(JESSE'S)..to be above all else abundantly well financially rewarded. Now I must tell you that he had help with the ministry of one Kenneth Kopeland..one young man whose gospel recordings I used to play with great regularity on the local Christian Radio Station..WMCU.FM...against all the flack of those in management who were convinced that Kenneth was out for himself. Kopeland took this young..comedic..talented..short evangelist under his wing and with nurturing..brought him to the masses, along with Jerry Seville..the HARLEY GANG...this is so sad now that he has the financial rewards that come from those who have the key to the masses thru television. Now this former less than steller citizen, that we all were..is exstolling the virtues of the many fold financial blessing to those who have the insight to listen to him and give to the firtile soil...HIS MINISTRY. You need to know that Jesse has all of the trappings of a rock star...private jet..expansive and expensive personal living compound..jewelry..toys..good investments..and he thanks all of you for the faithfulness of your giving..Luxury cars..motorcycles..first class acommodations..the best of clothing..and most of all a secure future financially. This is disturbing to me since I know that 80% of those who give a steady flow to his ministry are those who need it much more than he does..and when they are discouraged..he is not there with the 1-2-3,000.00 dollar check to redeem their debt load. GOD did not send HIS SON..to keep us in the baubles and Bangles of this life..trust me..that is frivioulous..HE DIED FOR OUR SINS...and that we would have life ETERNALLY...anything else is the fulfilment of life more abundantly...trust me..GOD CARES FOR YOU...and HE will look after all your needs..HE has mine and my wifes..think about this..see you next time on the deacon says....
