Joyce Meyer Says Christians Should Never Feel Guilt for Sinning
Protestia ^ | February 17, 2024 | staff

80-year-old Joyce Meyer is not slowing down in her mission to teach all the false doctrines, recently insisting to her millions of followers that they should never never guilty for sinning.

Meyers is long thought to be one of the ‘Big three’ heretics, along with Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn. Popular with women and effeminate men, the famed multi-millionaire televangelist’s ministry brings in over $100 million yearly and is known for her word-faith teachings. We tagged her recently after it was revealed she was paid by Hillsong $150,000 for one sermon, and has a long history of collecting sky-high honorariums.

She has a bizarre view of the atonement where Jesus paid for our sins in hell, believes that Jesus stopped being the Son of God for a time, that Jesus had to be born-again, that Jesus went to hell in our place and was tormented, that if you don’t believe Jesus went to hell you cannot be saved, and that the scripture teaches that we are little gods. This is all while claiming that she routinely receives revelation from God and the angels, one of which is likely this teaching

Speaking last December at Christ Fellowship Church, Meyers confuses guilt and condemnation, ascribing the role of the Holy Spirit to Satan by teaching:

Let me tell you something else that you never have to do again: after you sin you never have to feel guilty. Yep, you reacted about like the second service did. Can you find one place in the Bible where it tells you to feel guilty? Satan is the Accuser of the Brethren and even after you sin and you’ve repented and you’ve been forgiven, he’ll come back around and try to accuse you.

And it took me a long time, a long time to get over guilt. It was like this vague presence that was with me all the time. Not like right in my face, but this vague feeling something’s wrong with me. Does anybody in here have any idea what I’m feeling, what I’m talking about?

And when I would feel guilty I would say out loud “I feel guilty but I’m not guilty because the word of God says I’m forgiven and the sin and the guilt are removed.” And then I’d still feel guilty and I’d say “I feel guilty but I’m not guilty because the word of God says that my sins have been forgiven and all the guilt has been removed.”

I’m not guilty, I don’t care how you make me feel devil, I am not guilty, I am forgiven. And you know what? When I did it enough times I started to believe it. And see when you believe it- we have a lot of information but what we need is revelation. And I want what’s in your head today to fall down in your spirit. I want you to get it. If you’ve asked God to forgive your sins and you meant it. You are not guilty. I pronounce you not guilty.

Not my favorite, but she’s right about th -— once you’ve been forgo, you are no longer guilty.

Joyce Meyer believes in OSAS/OJAJ, in that no matter what sin is committed after the microsecond of grace, nothing will keep them out of heaven. They are locked in. So, why feel guilt or repent?

Guilt is the Holy Spirit’s way of telling you that you screwed up. Listen to It.

I would beg to differ.

Conviction of sin is from the Holy Spirit. Guilt is both what we feel over it and what Satan beats us over the head with even after we have repented and asked and received cleansing from that sin.

Yes, we should feel bad about sin, but with godly sorrow, which leads to repentance.

2 Corinthians 7:9-10 As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us. For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.

I once preached a sermon that was basically “Guilt is that thing that says ‘Man, I wouldn’t do that stuff again if I was you’”.

A person totally without a sense of guilt is a sociopath; a person who wallows in guilt is a neurotic. Guilt is like pain - a warning that something is wrong. In Christianity, depending on one’s tradition, the remedy for guilt is confession of sin to God, a priest, or another believer. There is also a presumption that one makes a decision to avoid the sinful behavior in the future. Being weak, we often repeat the same sins and must therefore repent again.
