Apprising Ministries has been warning you of growing syncretism within contemporary evangelicalism. One stream of this perversion of the Christian faith is the ongoing embrace of Word Faith prosperity preachers.

Prophet-pastor Steven Furtick gave this a real jump start with his Code Orange De-vival in mid January of this year. This event was chocked full of WF prosperity preachers including Furtick’s Favorite Preacher In The World.

By the way, that would be the most notorious of WF spiritual snake oil salesmen, T.D. Jakes. If you want to know more I refer you to Medal Ceremony For Heresy Olympics At Code Orange De-vival Of Steven Furtick.

You should know that in her post Steven Furtick is Lookin’ for the Favor CRN Associate Editor Erin Benziger brought out how Steven Furtick was scheduled to preach at Faith Church of Saint Louis back in August of 2011.

This is a WF outfit that’s headed up by Pastor David and Pastrix Nicole Crank:

There’s pastor Dave below with WF prosperity megapastor Joel Osteen:

Below is Osteen’s own commercial for his “good friends” pastor and pastrix Crank:

I’ve also told you that prophet-pastor Steven Furtick himself is already on record gushing that Joel Osteen Is A Great Man Of God:

Apparently things went very well for Furtick when he preached at that Word Faith Church St. Louis because pastrix Nicole Crank would later tell us:

(Online source)

Steven Furtick apparently made some more new heretical friends as well while in ol’ St. Loo too because Keith Craft, pastor of another WF establishment called Elevate Life Church along with his wife pastrix Sheila, tweeted:

Then later Furtick himself would make sure to tell us how impressed he is with WF heretic Joyce Meyer:

Meyer moving closer to the mainstream as well, consider Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church Men’s Group Studies Joyce Meyer. Here’s even more reason for concern with this blending of WF heretics into evangelicalism.

We have the following tweet from well known Seeker Driven pastor/mentor Bil Cornelius this morning:

I first told you about Cornelius, pastor of Bay Area Fellowship (BAF) of Corpus Christi, TX in Seeker Driven Prophet-Pastor Mentor Bil Cornelius WelcomesRev Run To Church. BAF has long been quite influential.

As a matter of fact Leadership Network reminds us that BAF, firmly in the Seeker Driven camp, “has been listed in Outreach Magazine’s 100 Fastest Growing Churches in America.”[1] Cornelius is no lightweight in that crowd.

So, now we see another WF prosperity preacher welcomed into the SD/attractional community. And seems David Crank was quite the hit as Bil Cornelius would later tweet him in action:

I’m doing what I can to help you get ready for this hybrid evangelical audacious/Word Faith mythology actually first pioneered by prophet-pastor Steven Furtick; and boosted by Furtick’s appearances in Elephant Room 1 and 2.

And so, I leave you with the following video clip of David Crank. While it does almost appear so; no, this isn’t an audition for the standup comedy category of America’s Got Talent. It’s actually from his message Do Not Judge.

Notice the praise Crank has for aforementioned WF prosperity preacher, and reputed modalist, T.D. Jakes:
