T.D. Jakes Is Challenging Us to Be Disruptive & Go After the Life We Want! 

TD Jakes is clever at using many words that suggest profundity, words that leave several people enamored with his oratory. However, these statements are usually devoid of real divine depth and eternal meaning. For a bishop, who leads a Christian ministry, he has spoken at length without: mentioning the Savior’s name, making any reference to the Bible or talking about sin. This whole session could easily have been an interview with Malcolm Gladwell or Tony Robbins speaking about a book they just wrote and you would not discern a difference. Furthermore, this philosophy and description of extraordinariness comes pre-loaded with many problems. I could read about Ted Kaczynski or Ted Bundy in the library, but that does not mean their example was beneficial to society. Conversely, I could work hard and become an accomplished innovator and business person with a great influence within society; however, all of that is still worthless before God if I reject Christ, His Son. The Bible says in Mark 8:36: “And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?” The moment a Christian minister starts to strategically strip his message of God’s eternal word and proceeds to lay a foundation from the bricks of positivity and affirmation alone, he loses many things the foremost being an incontrovertible moral touchstone. This kind of generic message is offered for its marketability, its seeker-friendliness and its congeniality to the ear. It does not convict, it does not censure and it does not mandate holiness. It just leaves you with the same hunger, which you will try to satisfy by purchasing the next book!

Absolutely 💯 agree.....

So true

And they are good friends as well, double bonus!

Rotten thing he is

Breakfast club as well

Amen.

Exactly

SMH, so untrue, I guess you don't watch him preach and teach the word of God on a regular basis, judge not, and you won't be judged. People always have something negative too say, that's why you can't get ahead.

@@sharlene8011 To be fair to him, this IS only a 5 minute clip (lol).

Exactly. Some people follow this man without even aligning the word with what he says smh

Isn't that interesting that you commented on lifting people up. I happened to read your comments concerning Sherri Shepherd and how she should stop enabling her son and judging her parental skills. What a hypocrisy everyone that thumbs up your comments should read on your comments on Sherri Shepherd Mother's Day experience, why not just wish her a Happy Mother's Day ❤️

​@@donnas6474 Trust me, Sherri has plenty of uplifting! Your response to Lizzie is a little unfair. A person can make a comment about people in general not uplifting others, but give an opinion about whatever they want. I'm sure you and every other human who's ever lived has done that!

@@atlantasfaithsmom I didn't say anything that was offensive, yes everyone has an opinion and I am also saying that if you read her comments it wasn't an opinion it was judging Sherri on her parenting skills . Why don't you read her comments before commenting on what I said.

Girl shut up😂

@@donnas6474 - What's your problem? I gave my opinion not asking you or anyone else to agree and if you don't agree that's on you. Sherri is enabling her son and it doesn't require judgement it's a fact, when you do nothing you receive nothing. That's your problem the thumbs up on my post, I don't write to receive thumbs up on anything I write because I feel my statement(s) have merit and if you don't agree I could care less. As I stated I'm not a follower so say or call me whatever it doesn't bother me one bit because I'm my own person and what others say and do is on them and doesn't impact my life one bit. Why is it necessary for you to tell someone what they should wish someone else, if I wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to Sherri I would've done that but, that wasn't my point. You need to stop telling others what you feel they should say because you think they should, you're a follower and that's one of your problems. People like yourself are a dime a doz. continue doing what you do, followering others.

Wolves in sheep clothing

Yeah I can understand you thinking that. I think maybe you should read the book to try to understand though . It’s difficult to sum up one’s thoughts in a few clips. People who God has given the thoughts and dreams and talents ( disRuptive) usually know who they are and fear and the way you think usually is what keeps them down. The person who created Starbucks wasn’t the first one that thought coffee all day was a good idea. Of course your plan needs to line up with God’s plan but God gives you a tree you have to make the table or the chair. You have to move in order for God to order your steps. ❤

@@ashallasanders4361 Your last sentence makes sense. Yet this is not about a snippet. This is the same man that brought Tyler Perry in to touch ppl on the forehead with fake healing. Straight up Red Flag. Remember Satan can bless ppl too. I pray u come out of that foolishness 🙏🏾 Pray for understanding sis. TD ain’t it and the Lord gonna deal with false Prophets

It will be the same assuming you are aligned with God’s will

Not my will but thy will be done Father...

I receive your blessings in the name of Jesus! Amen

Exactly! That’s what I said! They don’t always align but do we love GOD’s plan enough to SUBMIT to Him?

The life gods wants has plans for us are always better than ours

2 things can be right sometimes. If you align your life up with God it’s very possible that the life you want is the life God has for you. Read the book and don’t try and sum it up off a 10 min clip.

💥💯💥

Right. Definetly need it during the last days.

" my old life no longer served me " This.

Amen

Amen

Bible

One of the candles is called Inspire.

Amen

So y’all essentially worship him?

Exactly, I smiled the whole time, positive vibes 😊

I didn’t hear him acknowledge God not one time. He’s been watering down his sermons to please people who did not believe or practice their faith.

@@kaylasweet5431 The word God doesn't need to be mentioned to know that He is there ... Esther A Kingdom divided is a Kingdom destroyed. I will figure out t he difference between Disruptive as in Intervention vs Destructive to even self destruction.

@@judydolcine2251 I’ve been watching his sermons each and every Sunday Live on RU-vid. And I noticed the shift. I’ve been praying about the shift that Ive noticed because I have been disconnected with his teachings lately. He’s shifting to please Celebs, People who are rich etc He hasn’t been calling out their sins in his teachings . And each interview that I watch with him has been confirming my observations. But don’t worry, The Jakes family is still in my prayers!

@@kaylasweet5431 I am not a follower of TD Jakes but of JESUS. I am sure that there is a reason for the shift. May God be glorified as He leads his church not theirs. I pray for his family and yours and thanks for the observation. When I am sent out He sends me as an Esther. There are some that I can't judge as I allow him to be God not I. GOD IS VERY RICH AND HE OWNS IT ALL. FOR IT IS VERY HARD FOR THE RICH TO FOLLOW GOD.

@kayla sweet you’re a liar.
