Dayar television network looks like a Christian TV channel, but behind the sermons and smiles is a machine built on greed, lies, and heresy. In this video, we're ranking every major Day Star pastor and televangelist from bad to the absolute worst. Yes, Lord. Have your way. Have your way. Have your way. Have your way.
Perry Stone is a self-proclaimed prophecy expert frequently featured on Dayar. Known for linking blood moons, Jewish feast days, and obscure Old Testament symbols to American politics and endtime events, he's pushed theories about secret codes in the Bible predicting 9/11, presidential elections, and even COVID-19 without any real evidence to back them up. In 2020 and 2022, multiple women accused Stone of sexual misconduct, prompting a ministry sabbatical and internal investigation. "You know what? I'm going to go commit suicide up in the mountains to end this thing because I'm not going to Look, listen to me before God. I'm going to go take pills in the mountains because I I can't put up with this. Okay, we're here to help. I know I'm a very sincere person, but I have almost no friends, man. And I have almost no friends because of like this. You got two friends sitting here. I know I do, but I'm just saying like this. I can't shake a woman's hand. Oh, he's coming on to me."
Stone's sensational claims and lack of oversight reflect the same unchecked prophetic culture that Dayar promotes through figures like Clarice Fluitt. "And I want to visit with you just for a few moments about a supernatural invasion. My goodness gracious. We have seen the lame leap, the blind see, the deaf hear, and the dumb sing. Incredible words of knowledge and wisdom and understanding." Clarice Fluitt is a regular on Day Star, especially during fundraising marathons and prophetic specials. She claims apostolic authority and often speaks in declarations like, "I activate your miracle now," urging viewers to repeat her phrases or give money to unlock breakthroughs. Her teachings blend word of faith and new apostolic reformation ideas, promising healing, wealth, or transformation through spoken words and divine impartations. Fluitt frequently blurs the line between personal prophecy and scripture, making her voice sound like the voice of God. "You are extraordinary. You are not need-oriented. You are not man-centered. You are not based on oh help me Jesus. Decree a thing and it shall be established unto you. Decree a thing and put pressure in the house of God."
As we move further down this list, this distortion of scripture only grows more profitable and more dangerous. Such as in the case of Rod Parsley. "Oh, you have a seed and that seed today is the seed of greatness. You may be great right now, but you're about to be greater. You may be blessed right now, and many of you are, but you're about to be blessed like you've never been blessed before. And some of you need to step into blessing. And you do that with an act of faith. Yes. $300." Rod Parsley has been a staple on Dayar, pushing a high-energy blend of prosperity gospel and charismatic hype. He's known for shouting promises of healing, debt cancellation, and supernatural favor if viewers will sow a seed right now. His sermons often turn scripture into a transaction: give money and God owes you a breakthrough. Parsley claims divine authority to release miracles through the screen and regularly dramatizes spiritual warfare as part of his pitch. "Do you know that Jesus never said, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' He never said it. Wow, you're quiet. Looks like I need to preach that again. Or you can just get the message and I won't have to do it again. I prove to you that Jesus never said that. If Jesus, if the father would have forsaken Jesus, Jesus could forsake you and he cannot forsake you."
Parsley's emotionally charged appeals paved the way for Dayar's even more manipulative fundraising personalities like Marilyn Hickey. "So I believe you're going to be very encouraged today that God wants you to prosper. So soul prosperity should also bring material prosperity. So my soul prosperity, my physical prosperity, my financial prosperity, prosperity in my relationships and favor. And so we say we are the seed of Abraham. So if we are the seed of Abraham, we should prosper in everything he did." Marilyn Hickey has long used Dayar to push a mix of prosperity gospel and spiritual gimmicks. She promises healing and financial miracles in exchange for "faith seeds," anointed prayer cloths, and spoken declarations, treating God's word like a formula for magic. Her teachings mirror word of faith beliefs, claiming your words can shape reality and your giving can trigger divine rewards. During fundraising drives, Hickey ramps up the pressure, urging viewers to sow money for miracles. "What's wrong with calling and saying, 'I'm gonna make a vow, and if God will give me a thousand dollars, I'll help Marilyn with her vow to cover the earth with the word.' And then if you sow a seed right away, I tell you, I have something that will be a blessing to you."
This is a fundraising formula perfected by the very people who created the Dayar platform itself, Marcus and Joanie Lamb. "And submission means she's the voice of God to you. Now I pastored for 30 years and I had a wonderful relationship with all the elders. And I said I'm sorry. Can you clarify? You said she's the voice of God to me. She's the voice of God. So God's voice. So I have to hear I can't hear from God. I have to hear from her outside of Dayar. What she says is God in Dayar. This this is the voice of God in Dayar. But what accountability does she have if she's off? Well, she has a husband. She has a board. I'm on the board. Yeah, but you're not individually. You're not her accountability. Individually, you're her employee." Marcus and Jonie Lamb didn't just found Dayar, they weaponized it by giving a platform to prosperity gospel giants like Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, and Benny Hinn. They turned Dayar into a pipeline for heresy. Though they didn't preach much themselves, they defended the worst voices in modern Christianity. Marcus confessed to an affair in 2010, sparking lawsuits from staff over alleged retaliation. Then in 2024, their own family accused them of covering up sexual abuse inside the network. "When I walked up there and I saw Pete up there with my daughter, I was horrified. The first thing I started doing was screaming, 'What are you doing?' Like um obviously since he his hands weren't on my daughter, he wasn't in the act. He was just in the room with her. Um, I wasn't at that time about to like put hands on him or beat him up, but obviously I was horrified and I was just shouting him down and that led to him multiple times, probably 50 times saying, 'Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.' So, again, it felt like I had caught him red-handed. Yeah. And doing something that he shouldn't have done."
As Dayar's gatekeepers, the Lambs didn't just tolerate false teaching. They built a business model around it, relying on performers like Steve Muny to keep donations flowing. "Listen to these words. Great prosperity. Listen, these are the things that are going to happen to you. The miracle you have been praying for is going to happen. And when you give that $300, when you give that $1,000, God is going to stamp greatness upon you." Steve Muny shows up on Day Star like clockwork during fundraising seasons, preaching that giving money during Jewish feast days—Passover, Pentecost, Yamim Nora'im—will unlock miracles, cancel debts, and even secure generational blessings. He turns biblical holidays into divine deadlines and God into a transactional genie. Muny avoids preaching repentance or Christ's atonement, instead offering prosperity in exchange for cash. "And if you want to get out of trouble, start dipping your way out of trouble. I'm thinking about cash for you. That's that's the deal. I got cash on my mind cuz it's getting ready to happen to somebody."
His feast-driven fundraising paved the way for even more politicized forms of prosperity like those preached by John Hagee. "You must become seed conscious, not need conscious. When you look at how much you need, you're looking at the wrong solution. You need to start thinking about the seed. When what you have in your hand does not meet your need, it is your seed and it needs to be planted." John Hagee blends prosperity gospel with Christian Zionism, regularly teaching on Dayar that financial giving, especially to Israel, unlocks national and personal blessing. He's claimed poverty stems from disobedience and promotes giving as a path to divine favor, particularly during Night to Honor Israel events. Hagee's critics have also pointed to his alleged dual covenant theology, implying Jews don't need faith in Christ for salvation, an idea that undercuts the gospel itself. "It scripturally proves that the Jewish people as a whole did not reject Jesus as Messiah. It will also prove that Jesus did not come to earth to be the Messiah."
Moving from political giving to personal success, Day Star's next star, Joel Osteen, shifts the focus from nations to individuals. "Now, your fan base is not just Christian, right? I understand you have Muslims, even atheists. How do you explain that? You know, why would an atheist be a I think what they like, Larry, is when, you know, the principles that we teach are from the scripture, but they help they can help anybody, you know, to reach dreams or to forgive or to to have healthy, you know, good self-image. So, you know, I know I'm not a traditional pastor in terms of I'm just going down teaching scripture by scripture because, you know, a lot of my, you know, what I would teach would just be more how to live a a great life." Joel Osteen's tailor-made sermons are polished, smile-filled, and packed with motivational catchphrases, but they're nearly void of the gospel. He preaches that speaking positive words and believing in yourself will attract success, health, and wealth. His book, Your Best Life Now, teaches faith as a tool for personal fulfillment, not a surrender to Christ. Osteen rarely mentions sin, judgment, or the cross, focusing instead on blessing activation through self-talk and belief. "Do you ever feel like you need to talk about sin more? You know what? I talk I just feel like I do it in a different way. I I get that, you know, that criticism sometime, but you know, I'm still one of the old-fashioned ones that give an altar call at every service and on every television broadcast. And, you know, when I talk about it, I talk about, you know, how we can become better, how we can overcome. And I just um, you know, I probably categorize it bigger and but but I don't feel like I'm supposed to go and beat people down. Most people know what they're doing wrong."
While Joel's tone is soft, the next name on this list turns the same message into full-blown prophetic salesmanship: Paula White. "You can receive these seven supernatural blessings for you and your house. According to Exodus 23, God will assign an angel to you. He'll be an enemy to your enemies. He'll give you prosperity. He'll take sickness away from you. He will give you long life. He'll bring increase in inheritance. And he'll give a special year of blessing. You're not doing this to get something, but you're doing it in honor to God, realizing what you can receive. For your special Passover offering of $1,000 or more as the Holy Spirit leads, you will also receive the beautiful 10-in Waterford crystal cross. Don't miss your moment to release seven supernatural blessings and provision into your life." Paula White, a frequent face on Dayar, mixes prosperity gospel, prophetic buzzwords, and political power plays, all while claiming the title of apostle. She's best known as President Trump's faith adviser, often using that platform to boost her spiritual authority. On Dayar, she urges viewers to give seed offerings at prophetic moments to unlock health, wealth, or divine purpose, saying things like, "Activate your breakthrough and sow into this anointing." She's made headlines for summoning angels from Africa, claiming divine visions and declaring she can speak wealth into existence. "Dispatch from Africa right now. Africa right now. Africa right now. From Africa right now. They're coming here. They're coming here in the name of Jesus. From South America. They're coming here. They're coming here. They're coming here. They're coming here from Africa. From South America. Angelic forces. Angelic reinforcement. Angelic reinforcement. Angelic reinforcement."
And as White invokes heaven's armies, Jesse Duplantis takes prosperity gospel to even more absurd and expensive heights. "I live in the biggest house in the state of Louisiana. I have the biggest house of any preacher in America." Jesse Duplantis is one of Dayar's most outrageous prosperity teachers, claiming that wealth is a right and donations are keys to divine speed. He once said, "Jesus hasn't returned yet because people haven't given enough," a statement that shocked even some fellow televangelists. His infamous plea for a $54 million private jet was framed as a prayer request, but it was clearly aimed at donors. Duplantis insists that Jesus would fly a jet today instead of riding a donkey, turning Christ into a luxury brand ambassador. "And I want you to see this if we can, Caleb. Get it back. This is the very first plane that I purchased for the Lord back in December 1994. And I I I said where I began. And then the second one I I purchased was in January 2004 where I used to be. The one I'm flying right now and I've been with it's been with me 12 years. I purchased it in January 2006. I really believe that if Jesus was physically on the earth today, he wouldn't be riding a donkey."
But when it comes to twisting holy days into financial deadlines, no one does it quite like Larry and Tisha Huck. "I got no problem with a basketball player driving a Rolls-Royce. I got no problem with a baseball player flying in an airplane. We expect that. Why can't a child of God have that?" Larry and Tisha Huck use Dayar to promote a prosperity message tied to Jewish feast days, claiming that giving money during appointed times like Passover or Yamim Nora'im unlocks miracles, cancels curses, and brings supernatural favor. They present these moments as divine deadlines for sowing financial seeds, essentially turning God's calendar into a fundraising calendar. Most shocking, Larry once declared that Jesus is not the only begotten son of God, suggesting believers share that same divine identity—a statement that denies the uniqueness of Christ. "Jesus is not the only begotten son of God. He is not. I'm a son of God. You're the He's the first fruit. He's the first born of many. Jesus is not the only begotten son of God. He is not. I'm a son of God."
And while they distort the nature of Jesus, Joyce Meyer goes even further, all while remaining far more popular than most of the other names on this list. "The devil thought he had him. The devil thought he'd won. Oh, they were having the biggest party that'd ever been had. They had my Jesus in the floor and they were standing on his back, jumping up and down, laughing. And he had become sin. All the hosts of hell were up on him. upon him. Up on him. All the host of hell was upon him. Up on him. They got on him. They got him down in the floor and got on him and they were laughing and mocking. You trusted God and look where you ended up. You thought he'd save you and get you off that cross. He didn't. Haha." Joyce Meyer became a household name through Dayar where her program, Enjoying Everyday Life, taught millions a prosperity-tinged gospel of emotional healing and self-empowerment. But beneath the motivational tone are serious theological problems. She has claimed Jesus stopped being the Son of God on the cross, suffered in hell, and was born again, echoing her word of faith roots. She also taught that Christians no longer sin and don't need to confess anything to God. "I am not poor. I am not miserable and I am not a sinner. That is a lie from the pit of hell. That is what I were. And if I still was, then Jesus died in vain. I'm going to tell you something, folks. I didn't stop sinning until I finally got it through my sick head. I wasn't a sinner anymore. And the religious world thinks that's heresy. And they want to hang you for it. But the Bible says that I'm righteous and I can't be righteous and be a sinner at the same time." Though she has softened her prosperity rhetoric in 2019, her core message remains centered on self rather than Christ.
And while Meyer focuses on inner peace and personal growth, Benny Hinn took the stage with theatrical displays of raw supernatural power. "Yes, Lord, I do it. I place a curse on every man and every woman that will stretch his hand against this anointing. I curse that man who dares to speak a word against this ministry." Benny Hinn was once Dayar's crown jewel of charismatic spectacle, waving his coat to "slay crowds in the spirit" and promising instant healing from cancer, paralysis, and even death. He's made countless false prophecies like Jesus returning in the 1990s, and his ministry was exposed for feeding fake intel to staff via earpieces during crusades. Hinn also taught that Jesus had to suffer in hell and be spiritually reborn—an outright heresy. "If I can shock you, and maybe I should, there's nine of them. What did you say? Let me explain. God the Father, ladies and gentlemen, is a person with his own personal spirit with his own personal soul and his own personal spirit body. You say, I never heard that. Well, you think you're in the search to hear things you heard for the last 50 years?"
But while Benny's tactics were flashy and extreme, Joseph Prince brought heresy in a much more subtle and far more marketable form. "And if God doesn't want us to prosper, then why did Jesus become poor at the cross? Why did why did Jesus say things like, 'Seek you first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be taken away from you.' Why do he say instead of that he says all these things will be added unto you." Joseph Prince uses Dayar to spread his global hyper-grace gospel, teaching that Christians never need to confess sin, that God won't judge believers, and that striving for holiness is harmful. He redefines repentance as simply changing your mind, removing any call to actually turn from sin. Prince preaches effortless victory, financial blessing, and emotional peace while ignoring the Bible's call to discipline, obedience, and sanctification. "You know the word repentance uh like Joel said is from the Greek word metaninoia which literally means change your mind and uh every time like Joel or or me preaching the word without using the word repentance sometimes but people's minds are being changed all the time from thinking this way negatively to thinking positively from depression to having a positive expectation of good you know repentance is going on all the time in Joel's church in my church and hopefully in your church as well and you don't have to have this breast beating shout, 'Oh Jesus, Jesus.'"
But while Prince offers a guilt-free gospel, Lance Wall twists prophecy itself into a political tool. "Do you believe God's going to do it? Yeah, I do. You do? I do. Well, then do in Jesus name. Praise God. Father, I thank you right now. Everyone, we're just going to touch you quickly. Lord, it comes right now in Jesus name. It's yours. Yours. yours in Jesus name. In Jesus name. Father I thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. They being healed by his touch. Is that it? I believe it." Lance Wall combines prophecy, politics, and self-help into a chaotic spiritual mix on Dayar. He became famous for declaring God had chosen Donald Trump to serve two terms and after the 2020 election insisted Trump had still won "in the spirit." Rather than admit error, Wall doubled down, spinning his failed prophecy into new talking points. He's also used bizarre language like invoking Red Rover to evangelize Russell Brand and often preaches vague declarations of destiny and breakthrough with little scriptural foundation. "So I started saying at midnight when I was doing my broadcast, I started calling Red Rover, Red Rover. We started praying people over and I was praying Russell Brand over out of the devil's domain into the kingdom of light. Next thing I know, the guy gets saved. And then he has to run through the Sanhedrin of all the doubters in the middle that don't believe the guy's really legitimate. He is legitimate. He's not perfect, but he's there. He's safe."
Yet for all of Lance's antics, Creflo Dollar may be even more dangerous because he ties false promises directly to your wallet. "If I want to believe God for a $65 million plane, you cannot stop me. You cannot stop me from dreaming." Creflo Dollar has been a Dayar staple, preaching that tithing and offerings are the keys to unlocking God's blessings. At one point, he infamously said that he would execute non-tithers if not for the blood of Jesus, revealing the coercive heart of his message. In 2015, he drew backlash for asking supporters to fund a $65 million jet, later settling for a used Gulfstream G550. Though he publicly walked back his tithing doctrine in 2022, he dismissed any accountability, saying the old teaching "got me to where I am. I won't apologize cuz if it wasn't for me going down that route, I would have never ended up where I am right now. But I will say that I have no shame at all at saying to"
You, throw away every book, every tape, and every video I ever did on the subject of tithing, unless it lines up with this.
But even Crelo doesn't match the level of shameless fraud embodied by Peter Popoff. But Randy took a scanner to some of Popoff's crusades and picked up radio transmissions. Turns out the voice Pop Off heard wasn't God's, but his wife's.
I'm talking to you. Can you hear me? If you can't, you're in trouble. Peter Pop Off was exposed in the 1980s for using a hidden earpiece to fake prophetic insight, pretending God told him details that his wife was actually feeding him. After bankruptcy and disgrace, he rebranded with Miracle Spring Water, claiming it could heal disease and erase that if recipients mailed in a donation. Despite being a proven fraud, Papa's infomercials still run on Dayar, often in off hours, pushing spiritual snake oil to the desperate. That's why he wants to send you your free packet of miracle spring water, your point of contact for the miracle you need, now in a larger size.
And while Popoff sells fake miracles in late night slots, Sid Roth packages them in prime time with a glossy supernatural twist. I can't do it for you, but I can tell you how to pray in supernatural languages. So, you start speaking like little baby words and say them as fast as you humanly can. Do it faster. I said faster. I said faster. You can do it faster than that. If I had a gun in your ribs, you do it faster. [Laughter]
Sid Roth's It Supernatural is a sensationalist showcase of dreams, visions, and alleged miracles regularly aired on Dayar without question. His guests claim trips to heaven, face-to-face meetings with Jesus, and even divine decoding of lunar eclipses and solar flares. Roth often promotes prophetic merchandise and miracle products, turning spiritual curiosity into a cash grab. His show rarely references scripture responsibly, choosing spectacle over substance. My guest will teach you how to biblically ascend up to and descend from heaven at will. My guest died, went to heaven, but was sent back for many reasons, but one of the major reasons was to reveal the secrets of angels.
But while Roth turns mysticism into a business, the Yermo Modonado goes even further, offering godhood itself. And now let me give you the introduction of tongues. The activation of tongues. Your tongues uh change when you hit a new dimension in the spirit. A new realm in the spirit is some a new tongues will come. The manifestation to activate in the new realm to speak in new tongues. Now you what you normally speak. In other words, when you speak new tongues besides the one that you speak normally, that is a sign you you hit another realm in the spirit. Can I hear an amen?
Yerma Mald Mald Mald Maldonado is one of the most dangerous voices that Dayar has platformed, teaching that believers are quote unquote little gods with power to command angels, declare wealth, and perform miracles through spoken words. His services feature dramatic healings, staged deliverances, and political prophecies, all wrapped in flashy theatrics. Maldonado's ministry structure elevates him as a near divine apostle, demanding loyalty and submission. And let me say unequivocally, we have no apostles today. Amen. They're they're gone. The age of the apostles is over. There are no apostles today. According to the book of Ephesians chapter 2, the apostles, right, and the prophets were the foundation upon which the church is built. I don't know how many foundations your house has. Mine only has one.
But when it comes to exploiting that authority for profit, no one rivals the salesmanship of Mike Murdoch. I had enough money to buy a beautiful Cesler Citation jet cash. And since there's so much jealousy in this room tonight that I can feel over this, a few weeks later, I bought another one worth three times what that one was. Cash. Act happy over my blessing. Folks, Mike Murdoch has long been one of Day Star's most shameless fundraisers, infamous for pressuring viewers to give quote unquote uncommon seeds like $1,000, $8,500, or even their last dollar, promising instant miracles in return. He's declared that money is the most holy thing on earth and that sowing into his ministry guarantees wealth, healing, and divine access. Murdoch reduces God to a payout machine and turns offerings into spiritual transactions with messages more suited for infomercials than pulpits.
Now, I have a feeling that somebody that wants a credit card debt wiped out that if you'll use your faith as you sow, as you sow the thousand on a credit card, as you use your faith, as you use your faith, God's going to wipe out your credit card indebtedness.
Yet, even Mike's gimmicks pale in comparison to the doctrinal confusion and influence wielded by TD Jake. I've heard people criticize you for having so much now. You drive a wonderful car and you have a plane and you have a all of the accutriants of success. Uh listening to the sermon today, I understood very clearly because God doesn't just bless you and say enough. He allows your cup to run it over. I don't think the issue with clergy is what you drive and where you live. It's more how you got it. And if you will s what you got left, God said, "I'll give you back whatever it was."
TD Jake may be one of the most polished and influential voices in modern Christianity, but his theology has long raised red flags. Coming from a oneness Pentecostal background, Jake has repeatedly avoided affirming the biblical trinity, using phrases like three manifestations instead of three distinct persons. Despite years of public scrutiny, he's never clearly aligned with orthodox doctrine. My doctrinal statement is no different from yours, except for the the injection of manifest in manifest instead of persons, which you describe as modalist, and I describe as Pauline. Jake's preaching centers on destiny, self-empowerment, and breakthrough, often sidelining repentance, the cross, and Christ's finished work.
But no one has distorted those doctrines more thoroughly or more lucratively than Kenneth Copeland. It It's not taking anything away from God, right? to be equal with our father. To be equal with our Lord Jesus. He's the one that caused it to happen. Amen. And our good God said, "Oh yeah, they're my children. Of course, they're equal to me. I gave birth to them."
Kenneth Copeland is the face of Dayar's word of faith empire and the most dangerous heretic they have ever platformed. He teaches that Christians are quote unquote little gods, that Jesus had to suffer in hell and be born again, and that our spoken words carry God's own creative power. His gospel is one of divine entitlement, give money, speak blessings, claim wealth. Copeland's lifestyle reflects it. Multiple private jets, a lakeside mansion, and a ministry built on exploiting the desperate.
And so, and you have some fancy clothes. I mean, for a pastor, you are living a life of luxury. You've got great homes. You've got great planes. You do you drive in limos and very wealthy man. And through it all, Bar gave Copeland and every other teacher on this list trust and legitimacy in the name of Christianity. Sean BS. This is Joanie Lamb's trusted, one of her most trusted prophets who has been speaking into her life. So, is it any wonder when you have a charlatan, a con artist, a hu like Shawn BS speaking into her life? Is it any wonder that they're in the mess that they're in? And I take no joy in that. I think it's horrible what's happening to this family. and justice needs to be done. Um, but dear friends, I'm this is the bread and butter. This is the bread and butter of Dayar. They parade these charlatans in front of millions upon millions of people all around the world. Charlatans and huers deceiving people, teaching heresy, giving false prophecies, putting words in God's mouth that he did not say.
