Mike Todd is perhaps the most viral Prosperity Gospel preacher in America and is best poised to be the next TD Jakes. This past Sunday he preached while getting a haircut a prosperity message about sitting down and relaxing so that God can cut the areas in your life that need to go.
During the climax of the sermon, in which the dramatic background music commenced, the barber began spraying Todd’s face, Mike Todd explains that a master barber can do “enhancements” to men’s facial hair.
‘Y’all be like dang Pastor Mike beard be so nice.’ That ain’t me that’s the grace of God! Hear what I’m saying to you, it presents me in a way that my own effort could not present. It gives me the ability to be able to have the appearance of what’s not really mine. It kind of sounds like salvation. It kind of sounds like any man that be in Christ, he is a new creation, so when the debt comes up for all the sin that I made, I get the enhancement of Jesus Christ being the one that stands in front of me and fills in every gap, every hole, every area that my hair could not grow, every area that my life could not produce. He does not look at me, but He looks at Jesus, and so for every patchy place of my life, I get the enhancement of the Holy Spirit. I’ll preach this thing right!
So the imputation of Christ’s righteousness is exactly like having a fake beard to mask imperfect facial hair, according to Mike Todd.
The sermon then proceeds to have to have the strangest alter call in which Mike Todd posted on social media, “Who wanted their dreads cut?” The man who answered the call got his dreadlocks that he had grown for 6 years cut off in a demonstration that God will rearrange the areas in your life that define who you are.
Even though Mike Todd mentions sin, his gospel is one of prosperity and self-help, rather than genuine repentance. It’s performance and superfluous filler rather than meat or even milk.
