Did Steven Furtick Call Himself "God Almighty"?

It? Stephen Furtick did not really call himself God Almighty, did he?

Oh, yes, he did. I'm not incumbent with a person. I'm not incumbent with a political party.

Furtick's Gaffe and the Claim to Speak for God

Now, to be fair, this was a gaffe, but instead of calming down and apologizing, he just kept right on going. Get that off you! Face palm. He knew what he just said. The sermon was entitled, It's Always Been In You, which was really a motivational speech about how success has always been in you.

The Difference Between Self-Help and the Gospel

He may not have meant to call himself God, but he did say his sermon came from God.

I want to preach for a moment, and God told me to tell you this.

2 Timothy 2 and the Warning Against Irreverent Babble

Are y 'all confused? I'm confused! We read in 2 Timothy 2, 15 -16, Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness when we understand the text.
