This is indeed the true nature of a "religious but lost" man. He/she will try to twist the words of others or the almighty to tickle other mens ears, in order to further his own stupid and selfish goal.
By putting Christ first and having faith, we are blessed (prosperous) in abundance and when that is the case, we are supposed to share that abundance with others...being a light on the stand...a shining example that we are an anointed people who's faith is unshakable in the worst of times...and modern religion (for the most part) has lost that relationship.
I know I'm probably preaching to the wrong crowd, but I'm thankful that I'm preaching to a crowd that is saved through Christ.
I preach it with pride!!! I'm not ashamed of the blessings that I have putting Christ first in my life and when the times get bad, I still look to him who is ever present in my everyday existence.
If you are against the preachers who treat God like a vending machine, I'm right there with you, but if you are trying to tell me that being a "good Christian" means that I need to be poor, then I will respectively disagree.
This is parodying "pastors" who say that being a Christian means that you will always be healthy and wealthy, and it'd be a good idea to give some cash contributions for insurance. They would say that "times getting bad" shows that something is wrong with your faith. So yes, these are the preachers who are treating God (or rather, their viewers and their donations) as a vending machine.
I learned a lot of Paul Washer (sermons here on YouTube). He prays: God, if You can take more glory for Yourself, when I am sick, then lét me be sick. If Your Name will be more glorified when I am healthy, that heal me. The same thing with being poor/rich. I like that! It is all about glorifying God's Name! By the way, the bible is quite clear about giving. (when you have 2 coats, give one away etc.)
What about the words of Jesus? If you have two coats, give one away? If we share with the needy, God will bless our relationship with Him. THAT is an abundant, prosperous life: giving God the glory in all we do. I like your comment where you say: .... who's faith is unshakable in the worst of times'. THAT is were it is all about!
I couldn't stop laughing, when I saw this - this is brilliant! Especially with the send up of "Let Everything That Has Breath" and "I Will Sing Of Your Love Forever". Ha ha!!!
Where can I get those 24k replica chains of Silas and Paul?

Mark 11:17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
John 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
1 Corinthians 6:10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
GIVE ME&my FAMILY n the of JESUS u will b blessed while they live n mansions filling their bellies/hearts w/GREED laughing on their way 2 the bank at the WEAK who supports them Jesus NEVER preached any thing like these WOLVES he told the TRUTH. Jesus DID NOT live in this world RICH he walked or rode a DONKEY. When was the last time u seen a REAL pastor walk the streets SAVING SOULS for FREE. Jesus was NEVER RICH in this world he was awarded a cross, how dare they use his name in vain
This is wonderful! Thousands of people have already seen this vid. Wonder whether they thought to see REAL prosperity praise. Hope not ;-) I wait for the next CD!
See Peter was not money rich ,But Spiritually Rich with healing in his walk.Most So-Called christians today are doped into stupidness.Bunch of RE-TARDS,and trolls.
OK ChristineRemix,,Who gets healed in coplands,F.Price and the rest of the name it and claim it crew?Hey I beleive in Healing,But the Jokers you are speaking up for dont have that blessing either,Peter said silver and gold we have not ,,But get up and walk.
Who doesn't want to be prosperous? The prosperity gospel is for people who dont have anything. The people who are against prosperity are the people who have never been poor!!!!
Are you kidding? You actually agree with this teaching? The prosperity gospel teaches that if you come to Jesus Christ you will prosper. That is idolatry, that is NOT the Gospel of Jesus Christ! You come to Jesus Christ for righteousness, not for happiness. Please study your bible.
You are misunderstanding prosperity teaching. In 3 John verse two, John writes " Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy SOUL PROSPERETH". This is the prosperity they teach and it comes from the Word of God!!!!
That's what so terrible about it. It's being sent out from the US to all nations,including the poorest. People are being taught that God wants them rich, that their babies won't die, their animals won't get sick, etc. if they have enough faith. Then they eventually get let down and fall away because they have come to Christ for the wrong reason (idolatry). You have no idea how much harm this false teaching is having on this world, even right here in the US! I hear and see it it all the time!
Yeah. What about those people have the faith, but live their entire lives under what we would call the worst of circumstances. Guess faith didn't work too well for them
Faith in what? If they have faith in Jesus Christ, they will spend eternity with their Creator and be rewarded for their faith in eternity... A lot better than anything they could get in this short, insignificant life!
Guess they missed that part then. All they hear is faith in Christ will get they a new house or a benz with 17 in rims or thousands of dollars. That's all I was saying.
OK, I thought you were saying faith (God) let them down. The prosperity pimps would say that the individual didn't have enough faith. The truth of the matter is God may have been blessing them by not giving them money and stuff. Money could have been a distraction or have led them away from God. Look at all the lotto winners who end up carnal and broke! Eternity matters a lot more than stuff on earth!
I'm sure the discussions on this page really please God and give a great witness to Christianity! Come to think of it, all this talk fits well with the video which is just exposing false teachers which Jesus said to *avoid* like the plague that they are!!
Well... What's wrong with the picture is nothing scripturally [they are making light of ONE BIG LIE that the "Prosperity Pimps" are trying to sell.]
what's wrong is that the prosperity pimps "Blaspheme" the holy spirit by faking toungues [notice that there is NEVER an interpreter], and also they "chop and screw" the bible to fleece the naieve of their funds [how else do you think they get rich?] . If you want me to elaborate more, msg me or replay.
I disagree, I don't think it's mocking praise, it's mocking prosperity preaching. It's using sarcasm to make a statement that needs to be made. I'm outraged at this false teaching of idolatry which has been sent out from the US to the rest of the world and has resulting in so much harm.
What's so ironic is the "grandaddies" of the "If you're a Christian you'll never be sick" movement--Ken Hagin, EW Kenyon, WV Grant, AA Allen--are dead. I guess their faith just wasn't strong enough.
we all die at some point, unless we live to see the rapture... but look they all lived long lives, so criticize if you want, but that don't change what the bible says... the bible never said God wants you sick, it's people who teach that because they don't step out of their comfort zone to believe God for the impossible,
Jesus walked on water, and called out Peter a simple man to follow him... Peter walked on the water with him... how many "Christians" today would step out of the boat onto the water to follow Jesus if they were in that situation? I tell you that not many would
i don't understand why some uninformed Christians want to fight so hard to be sick, and be in poverty, when Jesus came he healed the sick and said we can do the same, but hey if you want to have cancer and disease because you believe that's God's will I feel sorry for you, and I don't know what God you serve but my God is a supernatural all powerful God who is good, and last I checked it's satan who wants the worst for us not God.
You say this as if you didn't believe that God could use someone to bring healing to all the souls suffering from this condition. Have you yourself gone to pray for these people's healing? Have you prayed believing that God is not only able but willing to show himself in a mighty way?
I would love to do that, hopefully one day God will use me to do that.. because I don't put any limits on him that he can still heal.. Jesus cares about the sick, and it's time Christians stop giving people a false image of God, as if he doesn't care
I don't really think Christians fight hard to be sick and live in poverty. I think most believe God can heal and perform miracles. Their are many righteous Christians living with illness and poverty.
I've seen and heard many Christians get angry when you tell them God can heal today... and thats why we are not seeing the power of God move greatly, because of people accepting satan's lies that God wants us to be sick... when did Jesus ever teach that he wants us to be sick? That's false doctrine
I just got done preaching a sermon about the prosperity "gospel". And in studying for it, I found out that the worst thing about it isn't the "prosperity" part. It's the teachings that lead up to the prosperity that make it blasphemous.
This is how it works: God gave Adam "authority" over the earth (wrong. God gave Adam DOMINION, Gen 1:28). Then Adam gave that "authority" to Satan when he sinned. Then, Jesus died on the cross to "strip Satan of his authority and give it back to you" (9/07 "Victory" magazine) But, Jesus' blood wasn't enough! He had to go through 3 days and nights in Hell
Jesus' blood was enough to purchase our redemption (Col 1:19-20). When He said "It is finished", if He wasn't talking about the plan of redemption, what was he talking about, Mr. Copeland? Besides, we do not have any right to claim the authority that belongs to Christ (Mat 28:18)! That is spiritual embezzlement! And Fred Price is wrong when he says that those two thieves could NOT have done what Jesus did! Blasphemer!
And we are not "gods", like Paul Crouch, Benny Hinn, Morris Cerullo, Kenneth Copeland say we are (I have the quotes, with citations, if you want to see them). Who are we to say that "when you stand on the word of God, you are commanding God to a certain extent (Copeland)"?
You're missing it. They're teaching that God wants EVERYONE to ALWAYS be rich & in perfect health. That's clearly idolatry. The worst part is that the poor (here & throughout the world) are being taught that God will make them rich, their babies & animals won't get sick or die, & they only need to have faith. That's a lie. Then they get let down & fall away, crushed. You see, God uses sickness & tough times to draw us to Him & glorify Him by looking to Him & glorifying Him in the midst of it.
This is indeed the true nature of a "religious but lost" man. He/she will try to twist the words of others or the almighty to tickle other mens ears, in order to further his own stupid and selfish goal.
