In 1998 Israel celebrated its 50th Anniversary as a nation, and
at that time huckster Steve Munsey, on behalf of
LeSEA ministries, used
the opportunity to exploit that event by promoting it as a 50th, or
Jubilee year, when God was prepared to cancel financial debts and
bless his people with the riches they had waited for so long.
This was an opportunity not to be missed. Of course the only
thing holding up this windfall was the need to give your seed money
to LeSEA. Only then could God bless you with the unlimited
riches he was fixin' to pay out.

Well, January of 2000 was telethon time again for LeSEA, and lo
and behold - what do you know, the Catholic Church (the Pope no
less), has declared the year 2000 a Jubilee year, and that beginning
this year the church will no longer be in poverty! Well if the pope
declared it, it must be true. What a stroke of luck for LeSEA! Now,
once again, Steve Munsey claims the Lord has spoken directly to him,
and God wants to bless his people with vast riches on this 7th
millennium Jubilee year too! He says we are about to receive the
greatest financial miracle in the history of mankind. But again, the
only way to cash in on what God is fixin' to do, and
dramatically change your life forever, is to send your 7 x 70
dollars to LeSEA, then you can expect your own financial miracle
within days. Your days of riches and power are now! Fortunately,
there is more than one way to win. You can send your "law of
release" offering of 49 dollars a month for 10 months, or 70 dollars
for 7 months, either is a lucky winning combination in this "spirit
of 7" year. Imagine that, God has told Steve Munsey the secret magic
numbers that will pay off with big money! But if you
keep your hand closed (don't give to LeSEA) you cannot
receive a blessing. God has blessed a women with 800 million
dollars from a father she did not know, and this is about to happen
all over the world. In fact, if you do sow your seed
money with LeSEA, you will soon become so wealthy that you
will be able to loan large sums of money to your friends, but only
if you take advantage of this period of 7 jubilee release offer NOW!
God is being promoted something like the ultimate lottery,
roulette wheel or slot machine that is fixin' to pay off soon, but
you can't win if you don't play. As for LeSEA, well who knows, Steve
Munsey says they just might decide to buy CBS TV (probably with the
money you send in). Just imagine what they could rake in with all
those CBS stations to run more telethons from. It boggles the mind!
What a disgrace! It really is amazing the depths some ministries
will sink to in order to extract money from their viewers. Had you
tuned to LeSEA World
Harvest TV during this telethon, you would have seen
snake oil salesmanship at its finest, or should I say at its lowest.
You see, Steve Munsey has no idea if this year is the beginning of
the seventh millennium, or last year was, or if it will be next year
or ten years from now. Nobody knows this for certain. It
would not matter if we did know the exact year the 7th
millennium would begin. But don't let the facts get in the way of a
good sales pitch. It makes one wonder just how they will come
up with another Jubilee, to flog for all its worth, in
another year or two. Or maybe that horse will be dead by then,
because their audience will be wise to the con. Then Steve Munsey
and LeSEA will have to come with some new gimmick to fleece the
viewers.

FALL 2000 TELETHON

We did not have to wait very long for Steve
Munsey to resurrect his 7th millennium gimmick. He appeared on
Daystar's Fall telethon on October 16th and announced God had
revealed a rhema word to him. We are not yet in the new
millennium. The year 2000 was celebrated only by Americans as
the beginning of the new millennium, but actually, the new
7th millennium begins at midnight on December 31st, 2000.
Also, Steve noted that on the third day of creation, God twice
said that it was good. So, by this and other equally preposterous
evidence, there is allegedly a "double portion" blessing fixin' to
happen to the people of God on the coming third day.
Because 2001 will be the "third day" since the
birth of Christ (1000 years is a day), and simultaneously the 7th
millennium since creation, the magic number for your seed money is
now 37, so, give $37 dollars a month for 10 months, and you will
receive a "double portion" blessing on your finances in the new
millennium. In addition, your unbelieving children will be saved,
and you will have your life extended 15 years by the "Hezekiah
miracle" (2 Kings 20:5-6). But obviously, if you don't give your
seed money now in faith, you will likely not receive these
miracle blessings.
God told Steve Munsey to fill 6 large pots
with pledge slips, representing the water pots of Christ's first
miracle (which happened on the third day, John 2:1) and also had
donor's names written on the outside of the pots. At the conclusion
of the program, during prayer, he then smashed the water pots
on the floor to "release" the breakthrough "double portion"
blessings for those who had been obedient and given donations to
Daystar.
