On the day after Zachery Tims’ funeral, evangelist Paula White preached a Sunday sermon.
Florida megachurch pastor Zachery Tims was found dead in a New York City hotel room on Friday, according to police.
A white powdery substance believed to be narcotics was discovered on the body, The Wall Street Journal reports.
New York City police said 42-year-old Orlando pastor was found dead on the floor of a room at the W Hotel in Times Square late Friday afternoon. There was no criminal activity suspected. The medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
On the day after Zachery Tims’ funeral, evangelist Paula White preached a Sunday sermon to the congregation that the outside world will be watching to see whether New Destiny Christian Center can survive without its inspirational, dynamic founder.
“New Destiny, it’s not just about you any longer. It’s about the nation watching you. It’s about how you are going to respond, about what you are going to do,” said White, pastor of Without Walls International Church in Tampa.

My comment:
Who was pastor Zachery Tims?
He was a preacher of the Prosperity gospel, and a believer in the Word of Faith doctrines. This is what a website has recorded:
Tims’ gospel, which I have heard in person, was not established upon biblical doctrine, but is that of the human desire for health, wealth and self-esteem.
(ROMANS 16:17-18) The Word of Faith gospel. The Trinity Broadcasting Network gospel.
A gospel which is a combination of Pentecostalism and the Faith Movement, whose root teachings stem from a 19th century New Thought cult made popular by E.W. Kenyon. After Kenyon came Kenneth Hagin, Oral Roberts and A.A. Allen.
Then came Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, T.D. Jakes and Creflo Dollar. And is now a gospel being proclaimed to the world through all forms of media and literary art by their sons and daughters of the Word of Faith movement such as Paula White, Joel Osteen, and, the recently deceased Zachery Tims.

I have earlier warned about the false Jesus, presented by the Word of Faith movement, The “ATM Jesus”, who promises good return for those who give cash to the teachers of the prosperity gospel.
If you are not born again from above, and submit to Jesus of the Bible, you will become a religious person. You will pretend to be blessed, rich and perfect. But the light of the World is not reigning in your heart.
News that matters 
Well my Jesus had no home, or fancy car, or designer suit when he preached the gospel. He came to save the outcasts of society. He came to heal the sick, and hung out with the sinners. He did not hang out with the upper crust Preachers of the decade. I beleive that the Lord is getting rid of the front man, who is accumillating wealth and power, and teaching the body of Christ, that we are all healers, we are all able to do what Jesus did, and heal the sick, and preach the gospel. He is bringing the body into oneness with him. We are all seated at the right hand of the father with Jesus in the next life, and the first shall be last. He has also left the best for last. So there is more yet to come. We are all the bride of Christ, and the Lord is no respector of persons. No one is greater than the other.
While I agree with some of the things you say about Jesus, you are mistaken about one thing. . .Jesus said in the Book of John, chapter 14, verse 12 that we WILL be able to do the things he did. “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” He has much more to say in that chapter about those who truly love Him. . .
Tacky tacky tacky. The man has died, and you choose now to comment on his teachings?!? I am a fierce opponent of the prosperity gospel, but there is a time and place. I don’t think you’d appreciate a rehashing of where you fell short in an article discussing your death.
Dear Chel.
Shalom.
I feel its correct to expose Prosperity pastors who live a double life. Just like Catholic priest, who rape children. I see no difference between a Pastor who had hidden sex with a stripper, and used drugs in secret, and a Catholic Bishop who have sex with kids. Just two different kind of hypocrites.
I feel Jesus do not want anyone to serve under a prosperity pastor. Nor a Catholic priest. Such people will be in need of deliverance.
What scriptures in the New Testament can you give that support your feelings that you have the right to expose any Pastor or Priest?
Probably all that watch out for deceivers stuff is a clue Brother Harris.
Where did you see that he died of a drug overdose? Oh wait. I thought this was a news site. Just a blogger.
Dear Minister Kenneth.
Sabbath Shalom.
The white powder found on his body, was most likely salt.
Dear Minister Kenneth.
Sabbath Shalom.
Her is the latest on the death of the prosperity teacher:
The cause of death is pending toxicology reports, but early indication suggests it may be drug related. The Wall Street Journal confirmed that Tims was found with a glassine envelope consisting of white powder; the substance is undergoing analysis

(end of latest news).
The Word of faith movement is at best, a movement that completely lack discernment. This movement do not only promote a false gospel. They promote pastors, who are hypocrites. They try to hide their life in flesh, but are obvious lovers of money, fame, perfect health and wealth. Sexual immorality is a brutal reality in its midst.
Paula White and Benny Hinn came out of a Hotel in Rome, hand in hand. Hinn even lied about claimed appointments in the Vatican, for being the reason for being in Rome. Even if his claimed appointments in the Vatican had been an expression of truth, it would have been a grim example of spiritual adultery with the Papacy.
The World of faith movement has never apologized to the millions of deceived souls, who accepted the anointing of Todd Bentley, touching the God.tv screens in their homes. The Charismatic mentors of Bentley knew He was drinking alcohol behind the scene, even during the so-called revival. Bentley was also an adulterer, who had sex with his maid. What a disgrace. This falsehood goes on, and on.
We must raise up Leaders just as Moses and Paul!!!! Moses never wanted to be a One Man Show and Neither did Paul!!!! Thanks for Pastor Joseph Davis(Truth Gatherers Community Church) for having a Heart to Raise Up Leaders in the Body of Christ!!!! When the Pastor Dies or Resigns we must be able to go forward!!!!
Hi. I’m a person who has friends at New Destiny Christian Center, and word on the street is that Paula White is strong arming her way as the new installed pastor there. This is not just a rumor! You can go on Twitter and see people already congratulating her as the new pastor. I’m very concerned because Paula White has been in scandal after scandal and this smells like money greed because the church is financially free and have money built up. Also, they were looking for a strong married couple but now it’s going to be a twice divorced woman who was dating Pastor Ricky Hawkins who was caught in phone sex with his members that was all over the news! I also heard that they chose someone and Paula stepped in afterwards and said she wanted to be pastor. Also, Bishop Hilliard has stepped down from board and choosing a new pastor for New Destiny. I wonder why? Hmmm. I wonder what her spiritual father TD Jakes has to say about this. Don’t believe me if you want, but check for yourself. Here’s typical Paula White about to scam more people and this time it’s people who are hurting from their pastor dying who’s death is still a mystery. And one last thing, what kind of lack of integrity does the church board have for allowing this to happen? I hope the people stand up and get a lawyer and sue her and the church board. This is not right. Just not right.
I think it isn’t really fair to through TD Jakes in with Word of Faith people. I’m actually a former member of this movement and TD Jakes was never really a member of this group. Nor does his teachings really fit the mold. He preaches mostly on hope, etc. He seldomly, if ever, preaches on prosperity, naming and claiming, etc.
Omg ……….I’m from the Fiji Islands, my country is situated on the outer most parts of the earth. We watch TBN alot in Fiji and love and treasure all this great Generals of God; Pastor TD Jakes, Benny Hinn, Perry Stone, John Hagee, Oral Roberts, Joel Osteen and the list goes on. But after reading all these articles about Paula, boy am I afraid, in these last days and age we are living, PLEASE CHRISTIANS MUST BE CAREFUL TO FOLLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT AND OUR SPIRIT OF DISCERNMENT MUST BE ON AT ALL TIMES. GOD IS NOT MOCKED IF REV PAULA WHITE IS LEADING HIS CHILDREN ASTRAY HE WILL REVEAL IT ON THE ROOF TOP………..
