All is not lost. There is one more thing you can try. “One powerful tool that is often overlooked by Christians is the taking of Communion.” That’s right! The precious body and blood of Christ given to you for the forgiveness of sins can also be used as a “powerful tool” of manipulation! As stated in a previous article called ” When you receive it, you should plan to partake of everything Jesus’ sacrifice provided—salvation, peace of mind, healing and total prosperity.” Did you catch the last phrase?
“Total prosperity!” Of course, if you want to be in the “billion flow” (a billion dollars that is) you need much more than faith in the blood and Holy Communion. You need to learn how to fleece gullible “Christians” desiring wealth and prosperity. Which is exactly how Copeland made his fortune.
