Bishop
Clarence McClendon
"The Holy
Spirit spoke in my spirit He said, 'I want you took look at the people
tonight,' there are some of you, you have been wrestling with debt on your
credit card unable to pay it off. Hear me, I did not think of about this
I had no idea, I was praying this afternoon and God said, 'do this tonight and
tell the people what I will do.' The spirit of God spoke in my spirit, He
said, 'To take the credit card they are believing to pay off,' we take Visa,
American Express, all that don't we? The spirit of the Lord spoke
expressly in my spirit, he said, 'tell the people that if they have been
dealing with debt on credit cards to get on the phone, and make, sow a seed on
the credit card that they are believing me to move on, to pay off. No you
are not hearing me, He said, 'tell them, to go to the phone,' you have used it
for everything else, you put everything else on it. God said, 'let me
touch that situation,' 'let me get involved in that situation.' I am
telling you as surely as I am standing here and the Holy Ghost is going all
over me right now. As surely as I am standing here, He said, 'put it on
the card their believing for me to help pay off.' And He said, 'tell them
if they do it,' He said, 'tell them in 30 days there will be such a windfall in
that area that they will literally be able to deal with the debt, pay it off if
they'll move."
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March

A note from me: Bishop Clarence
McClendon claimed numerous times that God told him
etc., yet when he was done Paul Crouch
told the audience that what he said was true about giving money on a over extended
credit card, but that they could not use the phone because it was not secure,
they had to go on the internet. Shouldn't God have known this? This
proves two things, that Bishop Clarence Mcclendon is a false prophet
and God was not speaking to him. It also proves that Paul Crouch
endorses this type of blatant fleecing!
After Bishop Clarence
McClendon finished his preaching for the night, Paul Crouch
said this, "Oh! Thank you pastor McClendon, This
was a Rhema word...This is a Rhema word from the Lord." Not only
does Paul Crouch endorse this type of heresy and
fleecing, he attributes it to God!
"They need
to sow a seed, start moving to the phone. The Spirit of the Lord said to
me that there are 500 people watching tonight that need to sow $1,000. Go
to the phone right now! Get up! This annointing has been released
tonight! I promise you in the name of Jesus that God is speaking to me
tonight!"
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March
29, 2004)
"God spoke
to me that there are 1,000 people that will give no less than $100, I got this
word! Get up! Get up! Get up! Go to the phone...The
Spirit of God promised me that He would bless your seed! Go to the phone
right now! If your sowing $1,000 do it now! If your sowing $100 do
it now!"
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March
29, 2004)
"People of
means don't want to hear about a Jesus that has a bunch of broke
children."
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March
29, 2004)
"If you
wanna stay broke, that's fine, the annointing of God is saying, 'I got to start
dealing with your money."
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March
29, 2004)
"Salvation
does not fully come into your house until it touches what you do with your
money. We have people in the church that have been saved 20 years and
their still broke!"
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March
29, 2004)
"This is a
word that God put in my spirit and gave me a mandate to declare it. This
is not an hour that God Might bless His people, God must bless His people."

29, 2004)
"I am going
to release an annointing, God is moving towards His people
in the economic realm, everybody say, 'economy.'"
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March

"The key
element that has to fulfill your salvation experience is when God touches your
finances."
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March

"Your job was not intended to meet
your needs, it is for you to have something to give. Thats why you can
have 3 jobs and still be in debt...You can have 4 jobs and you are still
broke! Some of you need to go to the phone and make your pledge."
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March
29, 2004)
"The spirit
of God told me to speak through the lens tonight and tell you that if you sow
from your buisness into TBN God will bless it...God told me to release an
annointing to buisnessmen tonight."
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March
29, 2004)
"As I was
praying this afternoon, the Spirit of God told me, 'Tell them I just don't want
to bless them, I must bless them.'"
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March

"When you
feel that you cannot afford to give, that is when you cannot afford not to
give."
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March
29, 2004)
"The Spirit
of God told me, "I am going to put my children on a new level of
stewardship. I'm going to give them things that were not meant for
them." Cars, houses, money that were not meant for you, but because
God knows that He can trust you to give it to somebody else."
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Praise-A-Thon, March
29, 2004)

authorized and deputized to release an annointing in your life tonight."

April 31, 2003)
"The Lord
said to me; son, speak into the camera tonight and tell my people, 'there is an
established depth I want my people to sow at."
(Bishop Clarence Mcclendon, TBN, Spring-Praise-A-Thon,

Bishop Clarence McClendon, who has a
practice of taking up a second offering for himself during church services,
added: "I have a calling to preach, not to be married. My calling is
between my heavenly Father and myself. It doesn't affect my
ministry."
