It’s hard to miss the new two-story, 25-room house on the corner of River Road and Ormond Boulevard in Destrehan. But most people who drive by it don’t realize that they are helping to pay for it.
The house, which will serve as a church rectory, is the largest single-family home in the parish, according to the parish’s planning and zoning department, and it belongs to Jesse Duplantis Ministries, a religious entity headed by evangelical Christian minister Jesse Duplantis.
The first floor of the rectory has two bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a breakfast room and a parlor. The second floor has four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, a fun room and a theater.
Since the tax-exempt ministry owns the house, Duplantis will not have to pay the over $33,000 a year in taxes that the homeowner of a $3 million house would normally have to pay, according to Parish Assessor Clyde “Rock” Gisclair. The money donated to build the house will not be taxed either.
The Trinity Foundation, a religious watchdog organization, has been monitoring Duplantis for over 10 years.
Trinity Foundation President Ole Anthony said that members of Duplantis’ congregation are not the only ones paying for the house.
According to Anthony, every person in St. Charles Parish is helping to pay for Duplantis’ extravagant lifestyle.
Assessor Gisclair said that whereas most homeowners qualify for a tax exemption, Duplantis will qualify for far more exemptions and will not be paying taxes at all. Therefore tax payers will be footing the bill.
“When somebody’s exempt, somebody has to pay the bill,” Gisclair said. He said that instances like this can cause the area’s millage, or property tax, to go up.
Anthony said that the Trinity Foundation’s main investigation into Duplantis has been going on for the past five years.
“We’ve been furnishing information (about Jesse Duplantis Ministries) to the Senate Finance Committee on two issues of the tax code,” Anthony said.
Anthony said that the foundation has been investigating Duplantis on issues of conversion, when donor funds are used to benefit for-profit entities, and inurement, or excessive compensation and lifestyle.
Legally, the ministry’s revenues should only be used to fund what they are getting their tax exempt status for, not for personal use by Duplantis.
“If the IRS finds that he in fact is abusing the tax code with regard to those two issues (conversion and inurement), then they could conceivably revoke his ability to give tax receipts for donations – he could lose his tax exempt status,” Anthony said.
Besides the almost 35,000-square-foot house, Jesse Duplantis Ministries also owns a private plane. Fox 8 News in New Orleans got a copy of the flight records and said that Duplantis has taken nearly 2,500 trips on the plane since buying it in 2000. The trips include two recent flights to Hawaii and 11 visits to Las Vegas.
“If a CEO of whatever needs a plane that is fine,” Duplantis said in a TV interview. “So if a CEO of a ministry needs to preach the gospel and get back to his church, that’s ok with me.”
Duplantis’ congregation does not have a problem with his lifestyle or large purchases, but Anthony said that other parish residents should.
“If I were in your parish, I would rise up and say I didn’t want to buy that 32,000-square-foot house for him and I don’t want to buy that airplane for him,” Anthony said.
The Trinity Foundation began in 1972 as a religious, charitable and educational non-profit foundation for promoting the public interest in the State of Texas by producing Christ-centered communications projects.
The foundation began by taking in the homeless, but the woes of the homeless led to a new mission for the foundation.
“Some of these homeless had given their last dollar to people like Jesse (Duplantis)…and nobody would do anything about it and that’s why we started these investigations,” Anthony said. “We’ve been doing proactive investigations since 1988 and it was based on these people who give their last dollar to people like Jesse on the promise that they were going to get a 100-fold blessing or get healed if they gave enough money.”
Now the foundation has grown to assist in the investigations of suspected fraud or other abuses of the public trust by members of the religious media nationwide. The foundation also regularly provides testimony and investigative reports to various state and federal agencies.
A representative of Jesse Duplantis Ministries said the organization had no comment.
I’m a tax payer and I’m totally against paying taxes on Jesse Duplantis house on River Road so send the forms I’ll need to fill out and mail back ! Or whatever it is we need to do to revoke this from continuing to happen and he should have to pay back what he’s already taken !
It is a shame what happens to these men of God. With all the money and fame the enemy throws at their feet, they become idols unto themselves. It is sheer narcissism to demand extravagant things like a 54 million dollar jet. Him and Cleflo “Dollar ” (what a name) are those that Jesus spoke of in the Bible. They preach the gospel for gain. The enemy has overtaken them. Jesus came in sandals and a linen robe. He never asked for money. The money is not for self gain. Don’t tell me this is necessary to advance the gospel. Feed the nations in poverty. It is disgusting. You can not serve both God and mammon. (money) Have mercy on them Lord.
Their money doesn’t come from “the enemy” it comes from their mindless followers
Amen. Yes the Bible talks about these people like duplantis. Thznk you for sharing that.
Don’t you people realize what Jesse gives??? His gifts and talents have
brought so many people to Christ. His tapes and books alone that he writes and produces that have helped so many are a product of his gifts and talents given to Him by the Lord who owns it all! Jesse and Kathy could build many houses like this using the finances of their labor alone. They entertain and open that home to those who come to share the gospel. They have a need for a home large enough to accommodate people coming to the area to preach and teach! Not many can keep up with the race Jesse and Kathy are running. Walk a mile in their shoes I guarantee you it’s not all smelling the roses throughout the mansion! They make me tired just thinking about all they do! They deserve everything they have and I pray they have time to enjoy it here and there along their busy way! Spend time listening to what the Sririt of God is saying through them and you’ll quit pointing the finger of criticism and you may find yourself enjoying your own mansion if you have a need to have one.
I bet you attended this “church”. When I watch this fraud he causes me to lose faith in god and churches. How could God let this liar get away with this?
I watched the humble Amish on Dr Phil who admit that sexual abuse of children is prominent in their communities and child abuse. The young children are raped and beaten. Duplantis needs his ministry to show the riches from God for protecting little children and teaching what is right and how adults should behave. I know none of that poor mess is going on under his watch.
Thank You Paula.Brother Jesse is my spiritual Father and has helped me in my walk with Jesus and I’m learning who I am in Christ.He is a wonderful teacher.I Love him and so does God. If God be for you who can be against you.
This will end. Keep your faith in God.
You have already lost faith typing this, don’t go looking for who to blame for your faithlessness. True faith doesn’t look at men.
If one man can cause you to loose faith, your faith was not looking to God. I’m not a fan of this man but you have to examine your faith!!
Well stated Mimi. That’s what needed to be said. Praise God!!
Duplantis is a lying phony! An Apostate!
Pam God Bless your heart because He has totally given you over to a spiritually debased mind. You might want to read about the rich man who went to hell and begged Abraham to just touch his tongue. Dame place Jesse and the rest of the believe it and receive it money preachers. They teach Faith in Faith, not Faith in Jesus
I have taken a bike ride on a electronic bike and went 2-4 miles one time.
Yes your correct, they rather have their man made mansion here on earth instead of the one Yeshua would have made for them in heaven. Their is no way on earth that that house is filled to the brim with others who are preaching the gospel, I can’t wait to see the gold Ferrari or Lamborghini Yeshua has in stored for himself I wonder how many pastors will try to out do Yeshua right? How ridiculous!! With all that money, he must have raised thousands of the dead himself, healed thousands of leper’s himself, cast out thousands of people with demons himself, as he says he talks to the lord so he must be in good company with him as Moses was with Yehovah and as the scriptures say we will do greater things than Yeshua. The scriptures say we are to judge ones fruits and if he being as wealthy as he is then there should be a massive amount of fruit besides just preaching the gospel, Yeshua said to store up your treasures in heaven not here on earth!!
I going to leave this here for you to read at your leisure! What he said:⬇️⬇️⬇️

He is definitely not leading anyone to Christ. He is not preaching the gospel. He is blasphemous every time he opens his mouth. He is not a Christian and there will be a special place in hell waiting for him and the rest of the prosperity preachers if they don’t fall in their knees and beg God for forgiveness. You should go to YouTube and search “Clouds
Without Rain” or just false prophets, or better yet, read your Bible and see what God has to say.
For with the same measure you give judgment, you shall be judged
Your comment is unfair & certainly uneducated dear.
Amen…. They are doing what God said. Go to all the corners of the world and preach my gospel.
Sister Pam, these ministers and others that believe their false seasonings behind such wealth have been turned over to a reprobate mind. I honestly pray for all that fall for these deceptions. As they indulge in their luxury airplanes and huge homes so many if Gods people pray for a single meal or a hot shower. I understand that they cannot provide for all people but”as you did for ONE of these you have done unto me” With our technology today they can reach so many more souls thru social media and television and radio than spending literally millions of dollars enjoying plane rides in multi million dollar aircrafts. I love all pastors that spread the word of our wonderful Jesus but as he told his disciples ” take nothing with you as you teach not even food or any personal items”. Also Jessie and Kenneth claim that the Lord speaks to them as frequently and personally as there own wives do. Lets be honest, God does surely speak to us as he has myself but never has he questioned me as Jesse claims he does? Gods words to Jesse ” do you like this plane?” Jesse ” yes I do” God ” do you really like this plane?” Jesse ” Oh Lord you know I do” Please anyone that reads these words..Please take a good long look at what and who you place your faith in…. God bless you all..
And I do agree because people do not know the whole story but God do.Even if people knew the whole truth they would still be hating on him cause this is how the enemy works
Jesse Duplantis is a living evidence that Jesus can save and deliver a drug addict,a rock musician a gang member,and he is using his talents and spiritual gifts to touch many lives in a special way.
The world does not complain when Presidents spend so much on motorcade,security,allowances etc because they are doing a national duty and others steal ,yet when God makes his people truly wealthy,the word hates them.
It is true that even men of God could lack some financial discipline just like many other men and women in high offices do.
If there were some mistakes done by those who manage finances in these organizations, they should be investigated and dealt with legally,but heresy ,false imaginations should not be allowed to prevail.
If you only knew Jessie and Cathy you could never have an unkind word about them. God bless you for all that you do! I love to hear you anytime you speak!
Pam Holliday I totally agree with you. He is an amazing preacher. With the way this man preaches how can you not start living the Christian life. He is a charismatic preacher, a man totally devoted to God. At the root of this investigation are jealous people, people who want to tear successful Christians down. What are the beliefs of these investigators? Are they Christians? I’ll bet we all know the answer to that question.
I’m sorry but the people that jesse duplantis have come to the wrong Jesus the Jesus of prosperity which is not the Jesus of the bible
Why did God not find fault with the riches of of Abraham and Solomon and Lydia the purple seller in the New Testament. STOP FINDING FAULT WITH GOD’S PEOPLE.
Duplantis is a lying phony extorting millions from poor people! There is a special place in the depths of hell for this Apostate! Billy Graham did mot live like this! The gospel is not for sale! This phony will pay!
WAKE UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about the public meeting where he walked around on stage with his hands on his secretary’s breasts, or his joke about his female housekeeper seeing his exposed genitals? Are you ok with that too?
That’s true! I got the video saved on my Facebook page where he’s saying and doing those things! Wake up and make him pay back what he owes!
GOOD PAM!
I WOULD HAVE SAD THE SAME THINGS TOO.
You’re not paying Tax on jessie but you are doing it unto Obedience unto GOD, Thee only person that would even voice this is Saton
That’s not really how it works. Residents of the parish are not “paying” for anyone else’s home to be built, regardless of whether that person whose homing being built pays taxes. They’re kind of using confusing English here. Instead what is happening is the civil services of infrastructure and utilities are not being paid for to Duplantis residence by duplantis himself. But that’s true of regardless how large the home is. So it’s sort of deceptive simplified to say his larger home is being paid for by taxpayers. That doesn’t even make logical sense. But the person making the argument that duplantis’ home is paid for by taxpayers is himself NOT being deceptive. The reasoning itself is deceptive not the person making the reasoned statement. I think it’s important to support the meaning behind Anthony and his ministry. Anthony is trying to do good work and keep people accountable to the law. That’s a fantastically good thing. However, his reasoning could use a little English finesse in my opinion. And I suppose it’s important to say this whole thing is my opinion. It’s the truth as well but it’s just my opinionated explanation of the truth.
Hey Deb… they fail to mention that the house was built by cash, no loans and no offerings from the congregation. Jessie is also in the stock market where he is very well known on Wall Street. This paid for the house. His personal funds pay for the upkeep, not any offerings…
This is smoke and mirrors telling half lies to get people upset at the Duplantis’. As for hai trips to Las Vegas, yup and next month he will be back at that church in Buffalo for a short conference. Then he is back in his plane to minister elsewhere. See, all smoke and mirrors and lies. IRS found nothing wrong with his money and he has the most informed tax attorney in the country working with Him (Financial Integrity) so Jessie is already doing things that are not even in law in the books yet.
THANKS BE TO GOD FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO BRING FORTH THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD;S PEOPLE!!!!
TO MANY LIARS WHO TRY TO DESCREDIT GOD’S PEOPLE.
I think it’s disgusting that our property taxes has doubled in 1 year to pay for his home. Every time I pass that house I am disgusted. It’s not fair to us in St. Charles parish to have to foot the bill. If he wants to live there then he should pay his own taxes . I saw him at the theater one day when they were buiyit and asked him if that was his he said with a smile oh yes it is. Can u imagine how many people I can fit in there and laughed. I just shook my head and said that is disgusting and walked off.
This article is almost 8 years old— have you not notices there is not any follow up. Why? Because there was no fraud to be dound. If there had been,there would hve been headlines everywhere. How about looking into the homes he has paid off for aingle mothers, ministries he funds? He has never promised 100 fold if yougive to hom. He has shared what the bible teaches and when you seek God and obey Him, live for Him, and give as God leads you to give, God does return and multiply backtobyou.
GOD DOES NOT go ALONG WITH THIS LAVISH LIFESTYLE ! Wake uo the commedian … jessie … is just a type of conman !
Did you see him in a movie theatre ?
I need to start a church…CoW, LLC.
Why?
Where do I sign?! I live in a 60 year old home that could use a little updating but because I have to pay for his mine will have to wait another 10 or so years while we save up to afford it. It’s disgusting that he was allowed to classify this as his rectory especially when it appears he is never there!!! And his plane?!?! I’m not even going to start on that one. If his congregation has no problem paying for it both in their tithes at church and on their personal tax bills then that is fine but the rest of us shouldn’t have to.
Jesse Desjardins The tithe was used to build a community of people. They would gather everyones “donation, tithe, whatever you want to call it and then distribute back into the church community based on need (e.g., taking care of the widows poor and orphans and to make sure “none was lacking among them”
Look at Acts4:32-34
“The Believers Share Their Possessions
32All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had. 33The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all. 34There were no needy people among them, because those who owned land or houses would sell them 35and bring the money to the apostles to give to those in need…”
and yes maybe money was also used in helping with preaching the gospel. But for sure It was not used for lavish purposes like owning a lavish home or driving expensive vehicles. I never heard of Jesus, Peter or Paul using the money from tithe to fund their 33,000 square foot home.
Now , no one said there is anything wrong with being rich, we all would love to be “blessed” as the church folk with say. But being rich off the backs of others and lying about what your intentions with the given money (God’s money) is wrong.
If you are a minister of the gospel should you be taken care of, sure, we all need to eat as the bible says we share all things. But keep in mind that There is fine line between being taken care of by God’s people and abusing the people’s willingness to give. If a preacher wants more than what working for the gospel can give him then he/she should work and earn his “multi millions” like the rest of the people. Let’s not forget Jesus and Paul had separate jobs besides “preaching” the gospel (carpenter and tent maker).
They didn’t go around expecting people’s funds to support their indulgences. But there is nothing wrong with “over abundance” ???? if you earn it off the work of your own hands.
It always baffled me and still today why preachers pastors can’t have 2 “jobs”. Oh let me guess … because it’s easier to beg for money and use the gospel as a cover up for their begging.
Let’s get back to the Bible basics folks not our own interpretations of it. If we truly want to live God’s Kingdom then there should be no lack among our family members. And all should work and make money by the work of their own hands.
Amen!! As a Christian I am disgusted at how he is abusing his power. And no Jesus would not be in a plane. He’d be walking eating with the sinners. Very sad that he is taken advantage of not only the church but the whole parish just to live lavish. Not what or who the God I serve is. Ps jessi Please do not use Christian any longer. You are definitely not Christ like and making it hard for the real Christians to minister.
Praise the Lord for such wonderful comments. May GOD Bless you according to your Love for HIM.GOD.
This Elmer Gantry nauseates me!
Jesse Duplasis is a con artist if I know one. No christian person should donate a penny to his ministry and he should be prosecuted for fraud. He is taken advantage of good people and their need to feel closer to God.
My name is Lynda Knight and I live in Franklin Tn I lost my job on Nov 25 I worked for Lyft and Uber and they both shut down my apps on the same day 5 min apart from each other I was a 5 star with both of them and had very high ratings I caught them stealing from me. Brother Jesse I sent you a letter a few weeks ago stating the condition of my finances and what has happened to me. The letter also stated that I need some financial help and yes the prayer team prayed for me and I’m great full for your prayers.

As a Christian, single mother, and volunteer for mothers and Children of Domestic Violence, I am appalled to hear any man of the cloth trying to raise money for a personal jet. I have worked for thirty years and recently lost my job. I’m penniless as well as most of the mothers and children I work with. Many don’t even have a roof over their heads yet he seems to think it’s okay to ask people for money for a jet while he’s involved with billions of dollars in federal Fatherhood Initiative funding that’s being used to help convicted Felons while destroying the lives of single mothers who are trying to protect their children. He should be ashamed of himself! May God have mercy on his soul the day he meets Him! by Jesse Duplantis:
://jdm.edgesuite.net/Websi…/Magazine/2016/VOTC_2016-04.pdf
Apr 4, 2016 – Jesse Duplantis Ministries International Headquarters …… Program schedules are subject to change without notice. Please check ….. Our ministry is a part of a re-entry committee for returning prisoners The Reentry Program, Second Chance and other aliases is funded by the Fatherhood Initiative. Where are his programs for single mothers and victims of these felons that he’s helping?
What does he need a house that big for maybe he is planning on starting a homeless shelter or a orphanage would that be great or a soup kitchen or a disaster relief station the possibility’s are endless god be the glory for Jesse Duplantis planning ahead in today’s world go god by way of Jesse Duplantis
Isn’t there a commandment that goes something like this and I’ll shorten it: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors house. This man flies all over the world to bring the word of God to people,no where in the bible does it say God wants anybody to be poor or sick or that being wealthy is a sin. It doesn’t say money is the root of evil, it does say the love of money is where you run into problems. God bless Jesse Duplantis ministry! God bless Bill Winston ministry, and God bless Kenneth Copeland ministry!!!!
Thank you so much. This is the truth.
Why is it Christians hate when their fellow Christians prosper. Its just demonic.
Was solomon not the richest man alive in his time? How did he get so rich?
He gave sacrifices and God blessed him.
But how did the blessing come?
Through men. So much so that the queen of Sheba left her kingdom to see him and brought GIFTS with her.
And she wasn’t the only one, lots of other kings and noble men both great and small.
They built both the temple and solomon himself became extremely rich.
Jesse pays his tithes, arms, first fruits and seeds and he says it boldly. It should not make anyone angry that God has decided to bless him and his ministry lavishly.
tHANK YOU!!!!!!
i HOPE PEOPLE READ THE GOOD COMMENTS!!!!
If Jesse were a tare and not the good wheat our instruction would be to not attack him lest any of the good wheat should get uprooted. So those attempting to do this are not Christians or are at-least unlearned in the ways of the god of his bible who says he wants to give you the power to get wealth and tells us to test him in this. Please don’t think that it is Jesse’s fault that god is faithful remember that you got what you asked for if it was nothing that you asked for in faith unwavering.
I love how God has blessed him. I enjoy listening to his sermons.
I wouldn’t send this man a penny. Him, his family, and a couple handful of others tv evangelists make me want to throw up when they come on. I can’t grab the remote fast enough. Mansions, jets, acres and acres of high dollar property. Almost forgot, expensive cars that will do over 200 mph. Better watch the speed limit Reverend. Obey the laws of the land. This has been going on for years and people just keep sending money in and these families live in dream homes while donators homes are falling in around them. If you see a church with thousands and thousands of vehicles in the parking lot, keep driving. Their not preaching what you need, their preaching what you want to hear. How these goons get on tv is beyond me. FBI and the IRS need to do some SERIOUS investigations into these tv evangelists. I sure wouldn’t want to be in these guys and gals shoes on judgment day. All the gold and silver, their mansions , their shining cars and jets won’t mean a thing. They will be brought down just like any thug and thief. If you want to donate to the spreading of the word of God find a church that preaches the full gospel in the city where you live. Don’t keep making these crooks and their families have lifestyles you only dream of. God will bring judgement on these few that believe they live in the limelight and have their fame. Wouldn’t want to be in those shoes no matter how much they cost on judgement day. God bless each and everyone of you and your families
Keep being poor wayne. And keep your little money with you. God hates a non cheerful giver
We will keep giving to the gospel and to our pastors till we die and be with Christ.
Not only is he riping money off of his congregation, who is blinded and doesn’t know the word of God. He’s also a false teacher. and he expects that this money is owed to him.
.
I disagree with many things Jesse Duplantis does and preaches, but I would rather pray that Christ may perfectly be revealed in him and also pray for spiritual discernment among the believers ie believers to be led by the Holy Spirit in all they do for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Frankly Im not concerned. Would rather see a man who spreads the Gospel have money than corrupt politicians and corporate executives who pay to have young children shipped into Florida ports every year so they can have sex with them. We dont complain when corporate execs buy drugs, private jets, prostitutes and live lavishly off our tax dollars and then get bailed out by the government just to do it again.No we are going after the ones who bring people to the living Christ. Makes a whole lot of sense. And to be clear I am poor. I live in a motel and work a low paying job and still would rather see this man have a good life for being faithful and spreading the Gospel. We are all going to die and none of this will matter. All that matters is whether you have Jesus Christ or not.
Thank You!!!
jer 5-27 as thecage is full of birds the houses are full of deceit therefore they are becoming great and waxen rich. jessie is a false teacher who preaches heresy, leading multitudes to hell with is comedy acts in the pulpit, please people wakeup he is a wolf in sheeps clothing, money is his god and his god is his belly.my lord jesus christ had no place to lay his head, jessie has another jesus another spirit. 2nd cor 11-4
I had never seen Jesse Duplantis until a few days ago. Have watched quite a bit lately in amazement. I don’t know how anyone could think he’s a man of GOD. Real pastors dont lie and say GOD asked their opinion on something and then say ok, then that’s how it will be. Nor would they make jokes about Moses ,and him being a stutterer. Or call Aaron the biggest wimp you’ve ever seen. Or speak derogatory about women. Anyone really believe, that after a woman supposedly made sexual advances towards him on an airplane, that he screamed as loud as he could, WHORE OF BABYLON, WHORE OF BABYLON, WHORE OF BABYLON, WHORE OF BABYLON, WHORE OF BABYLON ??? Just curious. I certainly don’t. I think there’s a special place in hell specifically for him and all his buddies like him
So so sad people believe everything they read see or the liars of news cast say but barely believe anything God says in his word, wow, yes I said it omg. The devil seeks to destroy you and it starts with your mind and his lies. If it’s not positive from the jump dump it don’t engage. I love Jesse and Cathy, great people of God and Jesse tells you right away give or not doesn’t matter because God provides all their needs and wants. He built his house church and ministry organization debt free, what he need from you, NODA, God is his only source. No matter how we get from people, job wherever it’s from God, nothing you have is yours and God blesses to bless others so be careful when complaing, be happy for those who understand God’s principles of prosperity. God says touch not my annointed. He is God all by himself, love you guys, God bless
Luke 4 verse 6 says And the devil said unto Him (Jesus) All this power.will I give thee, and the glory of them for that is delivered unto me; and to whoever I will I give it verse 7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.1Timothy chapter 6 verse 5 s says Perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds,and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness:from such withdraw theyself. If you believe in God and Jesus who stated these scripture.you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free from the spirit of error.looks like gain can come from God or from the devil also. So beware.
All those on here who are attacking this man of God, it’s no wonder your broke and God isn’t using you.
If you attend his church and your out of line with the blessings you are robbing yourself. Your fools.
He isn’t receiving your giving to pay taxes.. my God there are some idiots here..open your Bible and read it.
Why is it simpler for you to accept a ceo has the right to things and not the man of God
Jesse isn’t blessed cause you gave he is blessed cause he gives himself. Ih this passes me off such idocity.
People calling themselves Christians, criticizing the man of God because your broke.
Whether he is truly a man of God or not? I pray to know the truth. It’s not wrong for a preacher of the gospel to be rich. Because that can help attract poor people to believe in Jesus. What no one has mentioned is that probably most of the money he has is from sales of books, same for Kenneth Copeland. You don’t see people get “up in arms” over authors getting rich from book sales. I say Judge not lest ye be judged and with what measure you use, shall be the measure used to judge you. Hey, I’d like to be rich from book sales, books about the gospel especially!
Why did God not find fault with the riches of of Abraham and Solomon and Lydia the purple seller in the New Testament. STOP FINDING FAULT WITH GOD’S PEOPLE.
I believe in God. I have faith in Jesus Christ as the savior of the whole world who sacrificed His life for our sins. His teachings are my reference points. Nothing anyone does will make me lose my faith in Jesus Christ. I am convinced He is who He says He is in the Bible. My advice to people is to base their faith on what Jesus said and did. Not what people are saying or doing. The lifestyle of some pastors and Evangelist are really of some concern. In Matthew 19:21 Jesus asked a rich man to sell his possessions and give to the poor and follow Him. I wonder if some of these wealthy pastors and Evangelist will be able to take that challenge. More over Jesus Christ and his disciples paid tax. Luke 20:25 ” Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s…” Jesus wanted everyone, including Christians to pay tax. The issue of tax exempt for religious (Christian inclusive) organizations is not Biblical. I see tax exempt as a demonic ploy to control Christian leaders; because any time their tax exempt status is threatened, they get cowed. They are then afraid to speak and preach the truth. This is one of the many instruments of control of satan to intimidate vocal, but greedy pastors and evangelist. If I were a pastor or an evangelist, I will pay my fair tax. It is one of the admonitions of Jesus Christ. It is as important as paying your tithe.
Duplantis is a lying phony! An Apostate!
Jesse Duplantis is a self-serving, money mongering fraud that has no respect for God or His Word and wrongly divides the Word of God. The evidence is there in His videos. Don’t lose faith in God! The Bible says such narcissistic pariahs would be out there living to bring shame to the ministry. God will have the last say in judgment of charlatans like Jesse Duplantis. I pray that Jesse will truly repent and truly open his heart to the Lord Jesus he only claims to serve.
It’s sad that so many Christians are so naive and superstitious. If a person is rich, God has ‘blessed’ them (not the poor naive donors who’ve been manipulated into giving), yet if Marcus Lamb dies of Covid, somehow that is not God’s judgement it is something else. The whole broadcast of these people is not about being like Jesus but rather be like me and God will bless you too. Plant the seeds ($ to me!) and God will bless you. Call the 800 number below to give! Well most viewers don’t have the funds to have an 800 number for donations broadcast out across the nation so good luck with being like Jessie!. The beatitudes clearly teach about blessing, and using that as a basis Jessie is not blessed by God any more than any other sinner. He is an ear-tickler with unsound doctrine. Jesus rode on a borrowed donkey. Jessie must have a private jet which seriously harms the environment unnecessarily, yet he has the nerve to call himself a Christian. Noone needs to see that jerk in person. The IRS should seize his assets to fund social programs.

Hey Deb… they fail to mention that the house was built by cash, no loans and no offerings from the congregation. Jessie is also in the stock market where he is very well known on Wall Street. This paid for the house. His personal funds pay for the upkeep, not any offerings…
This is smoke and mirrors telling half lies to get people upset at the Duplantis’. As for hai trips to Las Vegas, yup and next month he will be back at that church in Buffalo for a short conference. Then he is back in his plane to minister elsewhere. See, all smoke and mirrors and lies. IRS found nothing wrong with his money and he has the most informed tax attorney in the country working with Him (Financial Integrity) so Jessie is already doing things that are not even in law in the books yet.
My God!! Do the people on here berating the man of GOD knows that GOD is going to judge them mightily and that his judgement is already working against them?
Jessie was speaking about a plane and GOD began to speak to a man who was thinking certain things about Jessie!
When the man realized that GOD was now in the conversation, He was shocked!
GOD WILL DEAL WITH THE FALSE ACCUSERS!!!
THIS IS S SURE THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE PUT YOURSELVES IN TROUBLE WITH GOD ALREADY BY YOUR EVIL SPEAKING OF GOD’S SERVANT.
Look at the demon possed fools hiss with jealousy over what God can and will provide if you follow him.
I used to listen to all of these pastors until I felt The Holy Spirit pulled me back and asked the question, “After you’ve listened to one of their sermons, what are you thinking? Where is your focus? Are you thinking about how wealthy you can become and all the stuff God can give you, or are you thinking about drawing closer to God, getting into His Word more, praying for people under the woes of this world more, and encouraging others to do the same?” When I listened to those pg pastors, my focus was more on how much material things I could get for me. When I stopped and followed the leading of The Holy Spirit to pray more and get more into God’s Word the Bible regularly, my focus switched more to God’s Kingdom and all that it entails. I don’t know if the pg pastors are God’s pastors gone astray or if they are actually atheists who get a kick out of collecting all of this money from people looking to draw closer to God and gain materially. Do they truly teach and believe in The Rapture, that our best life will be in God’s Kingdom in eternity? (Revelation 21:1-7) If one really believes that, why are they collecting millions and millions of dollars’ worth of stuff now? In the poorer nations, pastors and their congregations, amid great persecution, spread the gospel far and wide. I’ve seen multimillion dollar ministries with their pastors living in mansions, brag about how they’re helping build a church in a poorer nation. When I looked at what they were building, it was literally a one-room hut, no heating, no air-conditioning, no seating, so I stopped donating to them. Pray about it and decide for yourself what teaching you will follow. One that causes you to focus more on God’s Word and His Kingdom, or one that causes you to focus on how much material stuff you can get in these last days.
