Can’t seem to get away from these TV terrors. Get rid of your cable, and their latest book is staring at you from a table at Costco. The “Christian Post” thinks Mr. T.D. Jakes falls under their very broad definition of “Christian” and chooses to promote his latest foray [Instinct: The Power to Unleash Your Inborn Drive] into the pseudo-Christian, pop-culture, self-help bottomless pit. Because we love our readers, no link to the article will be provided, in an effort to save you from the barrage of pop-ups and caustic advertising overrunning the site. Here is the short introduction:

Most people find it difficult to get in tune with their inner voice amid their busy lives, however taking time to listen to a gut feeling or an instinct can lead to discovering a life of abundance and satisfaction, says Bishop T.D. Jakes.
In Jakes’ new book, Instinct: The Power to Unleash Your Inborn Drive, he writes about how individuals can re-discover their natural aptitudes and become in sync with opportunities life presents if they are willing to see beyond their current limitations.
Inspired by a safari trip to South Africa and derived from personal experiences, Jakes’ material illustrates some of the major principles and secrets that successful individuals have applied to their lives, but rarely tell others. In addition, Jakes offers readers advice on knowing when to close a business deal, when to take a risk, and how to listen to their hearts.
Hmmm. . . .let’s see. I guess when Peter was crucified upside down, he failed to listen to his inner voice.
Or more currently, Pastor Saeed Abdeni has probably not taken the time to re-discover his natural aptitudes. . .

And since Mr Jakes draws so much inspiration from Africa – one wonders how this woman, along with her unborn child and toddler, has failed to use his system of listening to “instincts.”

T.D. Jakes is a false shepherd!!!!
He is a liar, and a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Nothing he says will lead a lost soul to a saving knowledge of Christ. His teachings stand in direct opposition to the Word of God.
T.D. Jakes says that you will have an abundant life if you follow his teachings, which include running on your inner voice.
The Bible says that you can not trust your inner voice, and that it will lie to you.
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Who is telling the truth? T.D. Jakes – or God?
Matthew 7:14-16
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
