The Satanic "Money Cometh" Scripture Twistings of The Prosperity Gospel




[www.youtube.com]

The parables in Mark chapter 4 had nothing to do with sowing money to receive a harvest of 30,60 or 100 fold. It was about sowing the word of God in the lives of people , the very people that this corrupt deceiver denounced and mocked God in front of ! Which is what every other "begger of money" is doing in their Health,Wealth and Prosperity "Den of Devils" Gospel , denouncing God ,Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit!

Question: "What does the Bible say about the prosperity gospel?"

“You cannot serve both God and money.”

Answer: In the prosperity gospel, also known as the “Word of Faith,” the believer is told to use God, whereas the truth of biblical Christianity is just the opposite—God uses the believer. Word of Faith or prosperity theology sees the Holy Spirit as a power to be put to use for whatever the believer wills. The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is a Person who enables the believer to do God's will. The prosperity gospel movement closely resembles some of the destructive greed sects that infiltrated the early church. Paul and the other apostles were not accommodating to or conciliatory with the false teachers who propagated such heresy. They identified them as dangerous false teachers and urged Christians to avoid them.

Paul warned Timothy about such men in 1 Timothy 6:5, 9-11. These men of “corrupt mind” supposed godliness was a means of gain and their desire for riches was a trap that brought them “into ruin and destruction” (v. 9). The pursuit of wealth is a dangerous path for Christians and one which God warns about: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs” (v. 10). If riches were a reasonable goal for the godly, Jesus would have pursued it. But He did not, preferring instead to have no place to lay His head (Matthew 8:20) and teaching His disciples to do the same. It should also be remembered that the only disciple concerned with wealth was Judas.

Paul said covetousness is idolatry (Ephesians 5:5) and instructed the Ephesians to avoid anyone who brought a message of immorality or covetousness (Ephesians 5:6-7). Prosperity teaching prohibits God from working on His own, meaning that God is not Lord of all because He cannot work until we release Him to do so. Faith, according to the Word of Faith doctrine, is not submissive trust in God; faith is a formula by which we manipulate the spiritual laws that prosperity teachers believe govern the universe. As the name “Word of Faith” implies, this movement teaches that faith is a matter of what we say more than whom we trust or what truths we embrace and affirm in our hearts.

A favorite term in the Word of Faith movement is “positive confession.” This refers to the teaching that words themselves have creative power. What you say, Word of Faith teachers claim, determines everything that happens to you. Your confessions, especially the favors you demand of God, must all be stated positively and without wavering. Then God is required to answer (as though man could require anything of God!). Thus, God's ability to bless us supposedly hangs on our faith. James 4:13-16 clearly contradicts this teaching: “Now listen, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.’ Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” Far from speaking things into existence in the future, we do not even know what tomorrow will bring or even whether we will be alive.

Instead of stressing the importance of wealth, the Bible warns against pursuing it. Believers, especially leaders in the church (1 Timothy 3:3), are to be free from the love of money (Hebrews 13:5). The love of money leads to all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:10). Jesus warned, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” (Luke 12:15). In sharp contrast to the Word of Faith emphasis on gaining money and possessions in this life, Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal” (Matthew 6:19). The irreconcilable contradictions between prosperity teaching and the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is best summed up in the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:24, “You cannot serve both God and money.”

The Prosperity Doctrine Examined

By Brian Karjala

A regular teaching today within Pentecostal and Charismatic churches and ministries (specifically 'Word of Faith') is that God wants all Christians to be financially wealthy. The general teaching is that when believers give their hard-earned wages to the "anointed" ministers (those who preach the message) a spiritual principle is enacted guaranteeing that the financial offerings (or "seeds") of the contributors will be multiplied and returned to them.
One problem with this give-to-get scheme is that it completely eliminates the selfless, sacrificial aspect of giving associated with the early Christians. No one mentioned in the New Testament who made sacrifices to support the work of God inherited any kind of material wealth as a result. Nor was the accumulation of wealth the hearts' desire of the early believers.

One of the two main reasons the prosperity doctrine exists and thrives can be explained by the greedy nature that most people possess. Sadly, too many people are not content to receive a heavenly reward for their givings. They demand immediate blessings and will sponsor anyone who promises that a quick fix to their problems is available (but it's going to cost them a fee, of course).

Today's ministers of sin build on the selfishness of the people who come to their gatherings. There is a very popular "prophetic" message circulating through many Pentecostal & Charismatic outlets these days. The message is that there is soon to be a transfer of wealth from the wicked to the righteous (something they say will happen before Christ's return while we are still alive on this earth). Those who prophesy this message are supposed to be representatives of the righteous, but would the righteous covet the world's wealth? The tenth commandment of the Ten Commandments forbids covetousness (see Exodus 20:17).

In contrast to the fleshly desires expressed by today's pseudo-prophets, Scripture declares:

"Let your character be free from the love of money, being content with what you have" . . . (Hebrews 13:5).

People demonstrate what they value most by the time and energy they devote to something (see Matthew 6:21). Prosperity teachers sometimes spend entire sermons (many broadcasted world-wide over television) proving their love for money. They will beg, plead, bribe, and even threaten their audiences if such action will bring in more offerings for them. Instead of sacrificing their luxurious lifestyles to help meet the demands for their "ministries" they ask the less wealthy to make the sacrifices. With more funds the ministers expand their ministries so that new audiences can be solicited with pleas for donations. And so the endless process of asking for money continues. News about the risen Savior takes a back seat to what is called the "essential" money issue.

The apostle Paul described these kinds of preachers when he wrote about how the love of money causes people to depart from the Christian faith:

"For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a pang" (1 Timothy 6:10).

Prosperity teachers have strayed far from the core message of Christ (as have their supporters). Rarely, if ever, do they preach the pure Gospel. Sinners are usually petitioned to accept Jesus as their Messiah, not through preaching about sin and the need for a Savior to deliver them from eternal death; NO, the unsaved are lured into becoming a "Christian" when the prosperity teachers make the promise that God will bless them with whatever need or want they may have. (Desperation / neediness also, and not only greed, causes people to accept this false gospel.)

People are told by these self-absorbed preachers that if they accept and believe this prosperity message and prove their belief by giving financially they will then, and only then, begin to experience renewal in their lives. If the believers of this false gospel want health, wealth, or any other kind of blessing they are promised that Jesus (a "Jesus" of their own making) will provide them with these things. All a person must do, according to the basic teaching, is pledge a certain amount of money to the prosperity teacher and the deal is sealed. When the promise for the blessing goes unfulfilled the preacher convinces his devotee that the "covenant" must be reconfirmed because "Satan" has messed things up.

Tragically, this prosperity message reduces the Savior of the world to a means to an end and not the end in and of Himself. The teaching results in counterfeit salvations and many frustrated people who experience only a dwindling bank account and hurt emotions instead of the blessings they were promised. The only people who gain in wealth are the prosperity teachers, and they never miss an opportunity to boastfully proclaim themselves as rich men and women.

To those deceived and deceiving people who have set their hearts and minds on earthly riches instead of spiritual riches, the Lord would say:

"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I WILL SPIT YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH. Because you say, I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing, and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich, and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eyesalve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; be zealous therefore, and REPENT" (Revelation 3:15-19; emphases added).

If you examine the last paragraph of the letter above you will notice that Popoff connects a person's financial contribution (sacrifice) to his ministry with obedience to the Holy Spirit. In contrast to this teaching, the Lord Jesus Christ told the Pharisees (the religious Popoffs of the time) that He desires mercy and not sacrifice (see Matthew 9:13; 12:7; reference also Psalm 51:17). Popoff uses spiritual manipulation in order to increase his wealth. He associates his evil intent with the will and Spirit of God (thus committing blasphemy of the Holy Spirit).

Christians Not to Be Conformed to this World

"There is no Biblical record of Paul taking tithes or salary, or teaching any church to tithe."

Rory Moore, author of "The Tithe That Binds", wrote to me explaining the relationship of the man-made church with the world:

The church is 501c3 incorporated and recognized by the state. Corporations are by law, "conformed to the world" and they are married ("an unequal yoke" and an "agreement with darkness") to the government of men (according to the Bible, a beast kingdom which are given to satan to rule over. -Matthew 4). The church even is structured with a ceo/board and by-laws which are all unscriptural and also conformed to this world.

This correspondent also notes the Scriptural reasons why I do not ask for money or have a PayPal link on this site:

Paul said in I Cor. 9:18 "that I preach the gospel without charge", II Thess 3:8-9 "we did not eat any one's bread without paying, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you. It was not because we have not that right, but to give you in our conduct an example to imitate." Jesus told His ministers when He sent them out "Freely you have received, freely give". There is no Biblical record of Paul taking tithes or salary, or teaching any church to tithe.

Luther asked the question: "If you, being the man of God, claim to have the heart of God, then why are you taking from the resources of the people for your own unjust gain, instead of, as the Apostle Paul, working night and day so as not to be a burden to the people?"

Satan will set up his kingdom of Anti-christ in the political world, in the religious world and in the commercial world. The manifest delusion of Christianity will reveal itself by putting the antichrist in power thinking that he is anointed by God.

This sinister person sums up the mystery of iniquity and the full development of last-day miracle-working demonism and still, Christians will love him.

He will cause the image of the beast to be worshipped and represents a worldly religion of the flesh, so he will have the favor of the religious community that have taken the spiritual mark upon them of idolatrous and political worship. Those people of God who follow him are not walking in the spirit according to the true Jesus but may come in His name, thinking that they are serving God.

Called the prince by Daniel, the appeal of the Anti-christ will center on his promise to restore peace and economic prosperity. His peace will come at a tremendous price and many will be destroyed. "Hear us and obey us. We'll tell you what to think, what information to have. If we withhold information it is for your own good. This is nothing less than the Government playing God."
