The Universal Church - Houston (TX)

2 /5 D D: I don’t remember the Universal church teaching that salvation comes from Jesus and Him crucified. They base their services on teachings of the Old Testament- it is works based (campaigns) and being blessed in all areas of our life. (Prosperity) If we didn’t receive the blessing then we didn’t have enough faith. So we have to keep working on those campaigns until every area of our lives are blessed. Yes, people at Universal may have faith in God, but do they have trust in Him even when the situation doesn’t turn around as a result of their campaign participation? A pastor will speak to their members and ask if they have a testimony as a result of the campaign. If they don’t have a testimony, it’s always encouraged to participate in another campaign. Some situations do change for people but they need to realize that if it’s God’s will then it will happen on His time. His will be done not ours.

1 /5 Kyla Collins: As the Mexican guy came to my door, I seen other guys with church shirts on, walking to door to door. And he handed me a flyer. As I looked at the flyer I was interested and thought about going as it looked interesting and inspiring. Side note : I am a baby Christian myself and encountered God months ago. He encountered me while dreaming and saved me. After that I drastically changed my life with his help and his teachings. He is a good Father , he’s gentle , patient, and kind . I have a good relationship with with God / Jesus. So I thought this could’ve been God . After that later that day I had gotten a call from a lady and she was telling me about a church service which they provide the rides and told me what the service would be about and was really insisting that I’d go and feeling okay about it is said yes. So I felt a little odd about the conversation, but I was thinking that maybe she just wanted to call personally by choice to know each member properly. After that day it wasn’t even the day I was supposed to to go but I got another call and they were checking to see if I was still going I politely said yes, but was starting to question why they kept calling and decided to do research on the church. Couldn’t find much about them so I just questioned to myself about going. After that I kept getting calls and I started feeling nervous about going to the church, then afterwards I caught a migraine and fell sick the day I was supposed to go and when I tried calling to tell them I couldn’t make it the lady on the phone asked me “ You sound fine, and “ We’ll help you , even after telling her the kind of sick it was after she asked and why I couldn’t go she still was pressuring me !! Afterwards , I told my partner about this and he already doesn’t like churches because of issues like that , so he thought something was off, and I immediately digged deeper in my research and other people in the reviews said that the church pressures their members to give money and compared it to a robbery!! Immediate no , I listened to my gut/ and decided this church was a no for me. I set my boundaries before hand when they tried to text me as well trying to see if I was still going to church and it just felt like what is the purpose of pressuring me so much . It made me feel NERVOUS just to go to CHURCH !!! I SHOULD NOT BE THIS PRESSURED TO GO TO THE PLACE WHERE GOD DWELLS !!! From personal experience, God is PATIENT, gentle, kind, PEACEFUL, and a father . He is NOT a God that will make you feel anxiety!! FEAR !!, or PRESSURE, that is the ENEMY!! God is a very PERSONAL God and He encounters us all personally. I got a gut feeling about this church and I’m glad I listened to it. If God wanted me to go to a church I would’ve felt a pull to go to church not GUILT, FEAR, PRESSURE, or ANXIETY. And that’s EXACTLY what I got from the people calling me and texting me. They barely know who I am , but constantly trying to get me in this church ???!!!!! Are you guys insane???

2 /5 Timmy: I thought I already did but Im spiritualy minded Im not going to be all negative because there are some people that where able to help I seen but it is really Jesus doing the work keep it official I felt some dark energy at times not with just offerings you have a choice to give or not they were prepared I no that some did not like me in that church I was going through something they were not ready for and I needed a church I could go to more than just Sunday so that was cool I go to church for the Lord its his house no matter what but there more going on then I care of knowing but hopefully they anotied everyone that works there because if the girl that they always brought the evil spirits out of wasnt real then as a pastor being false prophet and working there and you where taking part your as guilty and you will have to deal with what that comes with and would not be easy to deal with or sleep if you really love Jesus that is the low of lows but I hope that everything was legit because that would be scary but God bless you all

5 /5 Lucresha Thomas: God sent me to the universal church he spoke to me in the Spirit. I had given up on church. When I entered the building I felt confirmation in the Spirit realm and then bishop Taylor prophecied to me the things that were happening in my life. The Holy Spirit lives here. God bless the universal church team members and members in Jesus Christ mighty name.
