God Needs Your Sweet Talk Lovin’ - T.D. Jakes - Museum of Idolatry

Found here. My comments in bold.

---------------

God apparently needs your sweet lovin’. According to T.D. Jakes, God is a bit emotionally needy, and he may be holding back answers to prayer because you haven’t given him the amount of lovin’ he needs to hear.

On January 19, 2018 T.D. Jakes made a Facebook post promising breakthrough and answer to prayer if people simply opened their mouth and told God how much he means to them. He says God needs to hear how much he means to us.

Good Morning

The breakthrough doesn’t come through the word, it comes through the worship! The greatest way to gain your breakthrough is through opening your mouth and telling God how much He means to you. Love has to express itself, and to the best way to show it is to worship Him in spirit and in truth ( John 4:24). Just like you would tell someone who is close to you, God needs to hear it as well. He is a passionate God. Whatever He feels, He feels passionately. He knows what you are enduring. He gave his body to His bride, all He asks in return is your worship. Worship brings relationship with God and as you draw closer to Him, He will reveal more of Himself to you. — T.D. Jakes

He is portraying an idolatrous image of God. God isn’t emotionally needy. (The author dishonestly moves the goalposts. Jakes did not say God was "emotionally needy." The dictionary defines "need" as

require (something) because it is essential or very important. 

However, "needy" is 

having or showing a need for affection, emotional support. 

Jakes used the first word, but the author manipulates by using the second.)

He doesn’t need to hear how great he is, and God isn’t giving out goodies in exchange for some flattery. (What else is worship but the expression of the greatness and glory of God? Has the author never read 

For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Hosea 6:6

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. Ps. 29:2 

And may we ask, what does breakthrough have to do with goodies?)

The God of T.D. Jakes is part God and part emotionally needy lover. God doesn’t need anything. Portraying God as anything less than the self-sufficient God that he is, is to portray a false image of God.

“33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord,
or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Or who has given a gift to him
that he might be repaid?”

36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. ”— Romans 11:33-36 (ESV)
