Oprah has been preaching this gospel of how God is within you for years now. I don't watch her anymore. I don't know specifically if that link is correct or not, but what is in that link is nothing new to Oprah. The most recent book that she is flagging is called "The Secret." And the gist of this book, which I have not read, is that you control your reality and therefore your success and that simply through the power of the imagination you can control your future.
I don't see this as different than the prosperty gospel preachers. If anything, because they pretend to be ministers of the gospel of Christ, they are even more dangerous. They have turned the gospel of Christ upside down and believe that it is their own righteousness that will save them, and that their prosperity is of their own making, and that their own arm will save them.
This is also not different than what Shirley Maclean has been teaching and writing books about for a long time now. And I have read her books. She teaches that God is within us, and that we are God. It is the original lie told by the Father of Lies, claiming that we shall be like God if we eat of the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil.
We are told that the Satan is the Prince of this world so it is not surprising.
