Margaret Court’s Word of Faith Ministry

Margaret Court is unquestionably Australia’s most successful tennis player. Playing in the 1960s and 1970s, Court amassed over 60 Grand Slam titles including eleven Australian Opens, five US Opens, five French Opens and three Wimbledon singles victories. In 1970 she won the Grand Slam i.e. all four major singles titles in a calendar year.
Court is now a ‘Word of Faith’ Pentecostal minister in Perth. Preachers like Margaret Court think that if you sincerely believe in God’s Word, i.e. the Bible, and you claim what you take to be the promises of God with your mouth – yes, you have to speak your prayer out loud, as well as basing it on ‘the Word’ – God will most certainly grant your desire.
This article explores Court’s odyssey and the strange world of Pentecostal ‘healing’ ministries.

Margaret is exactly right according to the bible, ”John 15:7 if ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask “what ye will”, and “it shall be done unto you.” these are the words of Jesus. and for sure they don’t fail as he spoke them. And its all over through God’s word. I can prove it with heaps of scriptures. again Jesus said ” Mat 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If “ye have faith”, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; “it shall be done”.
Again he said ” in Math 17:20-21, Mark 11:23-24, 1John 5:14-15 I can go on and on. Its all over in the bible
The trouble is that many Christians are unbelieving and cannot dare to take the master for his words. perhaps because they cannot believe in their own words and the words of others they think the master as well was not very serious and exact when he said those words.

After a study of her websites I found a number of teachings that conflicted with both the Word of God and the teachings of the original Church. One obvious example is a woman usurping the role of pastor over a congreagation which in itself unscriptural. This gathering is a cult, nothing more.
