Can You Stand to Be Blessed? TD Jakes
One of the things I dislike about reading TD Jakes is that there is a certain emphasis on "working your way into heaven." It is unfortunate that there are actually people who believe you can do this or you have to do this and that grace isn't enough.
However, that doesn't mean that his books need to be ignored, or there's not any good advice in them. For far too long there has been an emphasis in the Christian church on this "poor old me I'm a sinner" mindset. Nowhere in the new testament does it ever show Jesus being miserable, and the old testament saints, for the most part, were healthy, happy, and rich.
I think that's one of the reasons you also see such a rebellion in the church these days. Many Christians, including myself, are tired of being told that life is miserable. Who wants to be a miserable Christian? The Garden of Eden certainly wasn't a place of misery, and I don't think God put us here to be miserable. In fact, after putting us here to have a relationship with Him, we are here to prosper.
This is why it's important to read the kind of books TD Jakes writes. Although you don't have to try so hard, you do need to understand the principles he is talking about. Principles like prosperity, as well as cultivating the right mindset.
What so many Christians need to understand about God, and especially prayer, is that even if you pray for something, but you don't believe God will give it to you, God won't ignore what you really believe. He won't ignore your free will. If you want to be blessed, then you need to change your mindset. This book will help you do that.
What TD Jakes will show you how to do is change your mindset. Survive the peaks and valleys of getting from where you are to where you and God both want you to be. To achieve what it is you want, and never give up in the process of trying. In other words, this book is about teaching you how to persevere. Persevere, and you will succeed.
