UPDATED and ADDED TO: Daniel Whyte III Rebukes Larry Reid For Rightly Rebuking Kim Burrell Because Larry Reid Has Recently Said Similar Arrogant Things in Jest That Kim Burrell Has Said about ‘Broke’ and ‘Ugly’ Church Folks. Whyte reminds Larry Reid and Kim Burrell not to forget where they came from just because God has blessed them with extraordinary wealth, prestige, and influence they never imagined they would attain. Recently, Larry Reid has told people who criticized him, “You can’t even live in my zip code”; “you can’t pay the taxes I pay.” He also said the once most popular Bishop in America, T.D. Jakes and his wife Serita Jakes are not the most beautiful people in the world, or something to that effect saying, Sarah is the best-looking person out of that bunch. Now is he telling the truth? Yes, because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Is it funny for him to say that? Yes. Should he have said that? No. And he should apologize to them just like Kim Burrell did. It is sad and strange that in the church, money, wealth, poverty, and how people look have become a barometer of the worth of God’s people. This is the result of the satanic doctrine of the prosperity Gospel. Money has messed up many of the people of God going both ways–the rich and the poor. Here are some scripture passages we all need to be reminded of: 

Dr. Larry Reid and Kim Burrell, THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THE RICH OUGHT TO HELP THE POOR IN THE CHURCH AND OUTSIDE OF THE CHURCH:

Proverbs 19:17 – He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

Acts 20:35 – I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Consequences CD Series + Kingdom Values Book

Matthew 5:42 – Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Proverbs 22:9 – He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

Isaiah 58:10 – And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:

Luke 3:11 – He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.

Deuteronomy 15:11 – For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

Galatians 2:10 – Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

Proverbs 14:31 – He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

Proverbs 14:21 – He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

James 1:27 – Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Proverbs 28:27 – He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

Luke 14:12-14: 

12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:

8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.

9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

1 Timothy 6:7-12: 

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Dr. Reid and Kim Burrell, As Far as People Being “Broke and Ugly,” if You Look Around the Church, You Will See Mostly “Common People” or What James Cleveland popularized “Ordinary People” — Dr. Larry Reid and Kim Burrell, no matter how rich and famous you are now, the verses below include you as well. Just because God has given you some talent and has opened some doors for you does not mean you are better than the rest of us in the church, and remember, as you have seen in the lives of others, the God who lifted you up can bring you down. Besides that, God has used the “poor,” “ugly,” common-ordinary people to help make you rich:

1 Corinthians 1:26-29: 

26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

James 2:5: “Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?”

 

Whyte says in closing to all newly rich Christians in the church today to check with their accountants and check themselves and make sure they didn’t become rich from JUDAS’S 30 PIECES OF SILVER WOKE FILTHY LUCRE money that has been doled out in the millions to denominational heads, denominations, mega-church pastors and mega churches, and influencers in the church to compromise or to be silent on the issue of sodomy/homosexuality and the LGBTQQIPF2SSAA+ agenda by governments, businesses, banks, real estate companies, Soros, Bezos, Oprah, Tyler Perry, Obama, singers, pro-athletes, entertainers, sodomite/homosexual foundations and non-profits, sodomite/homosexual LGBTQQIPF2SSAA+-AFFIRMING CHURCHES AND DENOMINATIONS, and others.

The Mariah Carey and JAY-Z collaborator went viral for speaking about churchgoers’ appearances and financial statuses, COVID-19 vaccines and PPP loans during a speech at Kingdom City Church

Gospel singer Kim Burrell is facing backlash after a recent church guest appearance.

The 49-year-old Houston-based musician, who’s worked with Mariah Carey, Frank Ocean and JAY-Z, was filmed giving a speech at one of Brian Carn’s Kingdom City Church locations over the weekend, during which she commented on churchgoers’ appearances and financial statuses.

Since delivering the sermon, which also saw Burrell praise attendees for “walking in faith” by not wearing a face mask or getting vaccinated against COVID-19, a clip has gone viral on social media and garnered criticism from individuals offended by her comments. She shared an apology online Tuesday but later deleted it and released a video explaining the initial post was written by an “attorney.”

In the viral video of Burrell’s speech at Kingdom City Church, the singer can be heard joking about crowd members being “broke” and asking personal questions about their utility bills and living conditions.

“Sometimes before we get friends we have to do an interview: How long you been broke? How many times have you changed your name on your light bill? How many of your bills are in your little cousin’s name? Do you live in a trailer home or a house?” said Burrell while laughing in the clip. “You understand. It’s not about status or material things. It’s just about choices.”

 

She then referenced the COVID-19 pandemic and Paycheck Protection Program loans. “We’re at church… those of us that are walking by faith without a mask and no vaccine,” said Burrell, later claiming that other churches should invite her for guest appearances. “Hopefully we’ll get a chance to meet each other when y’all invite me to come to your church. I’m not as expensive as I seem! I don’t know, maybe you got a little left from your PPP loan. Prayer, Praise and Power, you understand. Amen.”

Elsewhere in the clip, Burrell nodded to Carn, 32, praising him for telling “the type of truth that makes most people uncomfortable” before discussing congregation members’ appearances.

“Who likes to be told you’re just ugly? No one likes to be told that,” said Burrell. “Most don’t get offended until they know the bad thing about themselves… I haven’t chosen anyone to be ugly yet. God is good. God is great. You all look great. Most of you have on hats covering most of that anyway. Here’s to you.”

“I have a great personality,” she declared before breaking into song.

After the video of Burrell spread on social media, many viewers shared their thoughts. “Kim Burrell has always been a bad look for Christians. She doesn’t use her platform well or in an uplifting matter,” one Twitter user said of the gospel singer, whose 2017 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show was canceled after she made anti-gay comments during a sermon.

“[Burrell] is not God… your relationship with him is personal. It’s not about the church people…Don’t allow people to rob you of that experience,” continued the tweet.

“I don’t understand how you consider saying this as preaching, like you knew you were gonna say this and thought yeah the Lord is definitely gonna agree with this,” posted another user.

Following the backlash, a written apology was posted to Burrell’s Instagram and later deleted. “As a kingdom citizen, and a woman of integrity, I acknowledge that some of my words, even if said in jest, can be offensive,” wrote the singer, per Distractify. “My intention is never to hurt anyone, but to spread love, laughter, and more importantly, the gift which God has given me in song. If anyone was offended, I can sincerely say I apologize.”

She continued, “With that being said, the irony in this is that those who are criticizing my statement are displaying the very thing they have accused me of however, it’s not been humorous, or in jest.”

“My image has been used in multiple places and false statements and narratives have been created. The punitive damages for some are quite lofty,” added Burrell in the since-deleted post. “Please be mindful of what is both written and said (via video) about me especially if it contains untruths. Slander and defamation are not taken lightly especially if it affects my name, image or brand.”

Burrell concluded, “Those pages wherein vile comments and false narratives have been created have been noted, reported, and hopefully silenced. Again, I will apologize if anyone thought that my humor was malicious, but I will not under any circumstance tolerate harassment, slander, or for my character to be defamed. Best to all.”

The apology post was criticized as defensive and threatening, with one user offering Burrell a “PR edit” to help re-craft the note. “An apology that starts with “if” and includes threats to sue for slander that came from thine own lips…is an empty apology,” one Twitter user said in response.

On Wednesday, Burrell posted an Instagram video apologizing for her actions and claiming her first apology was written by an “attorney.”

“Hello everybody. This is Kim Burrell. I’m sorry. I mean it. I mean that. Not from the letter, from my heart,” she said in the clip. “I released a letter two days ago. It did not convey right at all, and I must tell you this — it was from an attorney that asked me to do it.”

Burrell continued, “The latter part, y’all know I know, it was offensive… It was not my intent for it to be but it was her wording to say, ‘They need to be aware.’ I said, ‘Nah.’ My friends called me and said, ‘No, there are still people who are hurt from the part of them they love about you.’”

Elsewhere in the clip, the musician said she wasn’t going to issue another statement but decided to make the video out of love for her fans. “I’m really truly sorry. I didn’t want to hurt you. I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t plan on hurting you, and I pray that you will heal from this,” she concluded.
