Luke 6:38 was a anchor 4 this doctrine.
“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
many times oral as well as the "WOF PACK" would distort this word and mold it into something it was not. copeland, savelle, price, bakker, avanzini, and others jumped on this band wagon morphing it into the idea that money given is more money returned. what began as a doctrine that i live by even 2day became a doctrine of demons. I remember fred price teaching this doctrine on a friday (which we call black friday even 2 this day. no pun intended) he was pushing the name it claim it theology which is a spin off of the prosperity doctrine. he asked if we understood and believed in what he was teaching and my greek teacher who was a greek orthodox priest with a phd in greek and hebrew stood up and yelled "NO I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH YOU!" it was total mayhem after that and oral stood up and called us wolves n sheeps clothing. 1/3rd of the students left the next semester. my point is that this doctrine is very divisive, very destructive, and a demonic deception. many seem 2 defend these guys who espouse this stuff but i can tell u 1st hand i know of no one and i mean no one who has benefited from this demonic doctrine. i have seen the destruction of families, their finances, their faith, their hope, and much more because of this garbage.
