What Happened to Jim Bakker?

Several years ago the Spirit put Jim Bakker on my heart. My prayer had always been for him to prosper in the Lord. Even after someone does wrong, they should have a chance to make things right. His new ministry is called The Jim Bakker show.

My heart goes out to both of their families at this time as Tammy Faye goes on to be with the Lord. I pray that God reaches the lost through them and their lives, through the good and bad. Mistakes sometimes make us a better witness for the Lord when we come out the other end. TammyFaye.com is her website. Here are some links to interviews with her and TBN's Paul Crouch Jr. Part 1 and Part 2 done back in May 9th, 2007.

I was stunned to see the crook, fake Christian, Satan incarnate back on TV. On his program the camera oftens pans to show his audience: they are all, every single one of them, over sixty years old and have that look on their faces that dumb Southerners
have. Just goes to show you how stupid people can me. Like Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, Bakker should team up with fellow devil Swaggart.

Well anonymous such strong words for someone who can’t spell or leave a name. You obviously don’t know much about Christianity and do not have any compassion for others. You insulted elders and Southerners all in one shot, its shows who ever raised you did not teach you any manners or respect for others. It is ironic that you mention them being Satanic, since you may very well wind up in Hell if you do not accept Christ. Most Christians believe they are saved, even if they have differing views on whether they should preach or not.

I am blessed by Jim Bakkers determination to pick himself up after stumbling to continue on with the work that God planned for him to do before he even created the world. Satan hates to see it and continues to war against him but "he who is in him is stronger that he that's within the world"
Jesus is about forgiveness and I pray that those who criticize would receive Jesus and his forgiveness for it.
Keep up the good work Jim.

To all who critcize Jim Bakker: read his tell-all story in, I Was Wrong, to get all the facts. Research documented evidence of what truly went on before you judge. There is always more to a story than what one person or the media portrays. Wise up and better yourselves by gaining insight and accurate information, instead of perpetuating your hateful ignorance. How unbecoming. My name is Sarah M. Deter. Born again, warrior, princess and daughter of the King.

You are proof of the gullibility, greed, and selfishness of Christians the world over. The only reason you 'believe' is because you think there is something in it for you. You will not be safe from the judgement and wrath of God just because you 'accept Christ'. Just like Jim Bakker, you think you can get away with your blasphemy and self-serving ways by hiding behind your believer attitude. Arrogant, ignorant, and a sinner like the rest of us.

AV,
You accuse me of being gullible, greedy, selfish, a blasphemer, self-serving, arrogant, a sinner and a false believer, who is only in it because there is something in it for me. You do not know enough about me to make these judgments.

The Bible tells us not to bear false witness against another and if you find fault, to bring it to your brother in love. I am a sinner saved be the grace of God, who has never spoken irreverently against him (Blasphemy). Yet somehow you have the insight that my salvation and relationship with God is not real and that I will be an object of His wrath. There was not one thoughtful statement in your entire comment or any evidence that you have a right relationship with Christ. It seems to be more reflective of someone who has a bitter and poisoned heart. If you think I am so lost, please pray that God opens my heart to the truth. I will pray for you as well.

Jim's a good man, can see it in his heart... If you took the time to watch and listen, you might see this too.. He speaks many times on the subject of how he was before.. He realized in prison that prosperity preaching was wrong, and is wrong... He never read the entire Bible until he was in prison.. He now preaches on turning back to God.. For the kingdom of God is at hand! A voice crying out in the dessert.. Prepare Ye the way of the Lord!

Ok folks, enough back stabbing. How many knives must we Christians pull out of our backs because we where attacked by fellow "Christians". No wonder so many Non believing people in the world today look at us Christians an don't want to join us. We look like a bunch of bickering selfcentered people....STOP Enough already...it's shamful. The youth of today look at their parents and other older chruch members fighting and bickering that We are Driving our youth running from our churches. Why, because they the youth in America don't want to be like their Moms and Dads. Set an example for your kids that the will respect and look up to. Really and Truely put Jesus back into you life. Allow Jesus to completely move into your hearts. O, it's easy to say your a Christian But it's another to Walk the Walk. Pastor Bakker was brought to his knees by God so that God could do good works through him. Blessings everyone and to Pastor and his Entire family. Remember not to Judge lest you be Judged by the father one day. Also, if we cannot forgive others, then God our Father Cannot forgive Us. Our Father in Heaven Mad these rules an if he did not follow His own Rules... what kind of a Father would he be??
