T.D. Jakes Says the Holy Spirit is the ‘Semen’ and ‘Sperm’ of God
In a move that would make even TGC’s Joshua Butler blush, famed Modalist T.D. Jakes preached a sermon describing the Holy Spirit/ Word of God as his ‘sperm” and “semen” that he uses to impregnate.
We’ve recently written about Jakes when we noted how he disgraces his wife with his twerking comments, joined Joel Osteen for a conference where tickets cost $1000.00, and is known to wear insanely expensive designer shoes frequently, clothes and watches that cost more than many of his congregants make in a year. He puzzled us recently after preaching his weirdest sermon, featuring self-hugs and affirmations.
Jakes, who has continued to be platformed and lauded by those at the Christian Post and Charisma News, along with the usual suspects like Steven Furtick, Priscilla Shirer, and Judah Smith, has gone on record saying he doesn’t believe that Jesus is the second person of the Trinity but rather is just a “manifestation” of God. Even now, his church website reads, “There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three manifestations: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”
In his message gleanings at the well, T.D. Jakes recounts the story of Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well, emphasizing that she needed to hear a word from God. Engaging in some gross and unseemly metaphors, he offers that her ancestors worshiping on the mountain did not get her a word from God, but that Jesus telling her about her five husbands did, and that it changed her life.
“For it is word that convicts and it is the word that transforms. It is the word my brothers and sisters that is in fact the very sperm of God. It is the semen of God. It is how God impregnates the human spirit, is by his word. His word, his word. The Bible said that when Peter preached on the day of Pentecost, Acts 2:36 they heard Peter preach the Word of God, verse 38: they were pricked in their hearts, they were penetrated in their heart.
It’s not the word that falls on you, it’s the word that falls in you. When the word gets in you, you become impregnated with the Word of God. The moment the word got in them and changed their behavior, they said “now what must we do?” And he told them “repent and be baptized every one of you.” See once the word gets in, it changes your attitude.”
