You get that vibe, too?
I think this is just the logical permutation of the ME-centric gospel that has possessed (And I use that word deliberately) the modern day American Christian church.
Messages about sex and fashion make sense when "It's all about me."
One local AOG has codified "Succe$$" in an Osteen-ish mantra, it being described as a product of faith.
That makes sense when "It's all about me!"
It's all about me all I have to do is say it!!!
It's all about me, All I have to do is DARE to pray it!
It's all about me, All I have to do is do x, then y (of some eisegetical "Biblical Principle") and God is FORCED by me to do what I want.
