  • what is the name of this pastor? i just love him. amen amen amen

    word of faith is false gospel and whoever teaches false gospel is a false leader!

  • God is all powerful and omnipotent (and yes I do believe that) but the prosperity pimps keep saying that God needs my money.

    It's a lie folks!

  • "Christianity" has been replaced by goosebump ministries and gimme-gimme gospels. Christianity IS NOT about sitting on God's lap and telling him what you want... its about taking what God gives you and sharing it. -Not based on what you get back, but without the desire of greed.

    Which pastor and church is this? Christianity needs to be restored in America, and this is the message everyone needs to be hearing.

  • What a great song.

  • I agree we are to preach the Good News not the gospel of success. It does take a lot of money to preach in the comfort of an air conditioned church cause Jesus preached in the streets primarily. The bible says there will be a great falling away. Some are falling while in church, because they are following the pastor and the message of prosperity. If you are called the preach then preach the gospel then whoever listens, listens if they do not it was THEIR destiny not to listen.

  • i used to believe in christianity because that's how i was raised. i was told those who didn't believe went to hell and that i was supposed to experience change. the only change i noticed was acting like all the other fakes in church. it's a real shame because the message sounds so nice and even now i get sucked in by it because it's been so engrained in my programmed concept of reality since childhood but really i think it's crap. some of the bible is good but i've never seen anyone healed.

  • This pastor is so Godly, He makes cry because of his heart. I wish I was atending his church. Thank you JESUS

  • Benny Hinn ruined me when I worked for his ministry. I haven't been able to go to another church since I discovered the falsehood of profit preaching ministries.

    My biggest prayer of my life now is "God, don't let go of me". I don't have the strength to trust man's preaching again, but I will always love my God.

  • you know what the sad thing is about what he said it's ture the world is dieing and going to hell... -_- I wish it wasn't so but it's happening I feel it in my heart that people are being swept up by the disception I strive to read my bible sometimes and it's getting harder to stay faithful in GOD, but it's worth it.

  • you know what the sad thing is about what he said it's ture the world is dieing and going to hell... -_- I wish it wasn't so but it's happening I feel it in my heart that people are being swept up by the disception I strive to read my bible sometimes and it's getting harder to stay faithful in GOD, but it's worth it.

  • Jesus said it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. (it is possible with God; but rare) They're trying to have both worlds, the love of money & the kingdom of heaven & it's a big fat lie. We cannot serve God & mammon. We love the one & hate the other. We must hate filthy lucre & see it for what it is; the government playing god. YHWH Jireh(THE I AM will provide)

  • Poor guy... we need to do something stand up for Jesus and the church.

  • Poor guy I feel sorry for him this is truely a battle on christianity and we need to do something. <:-(

  • LOL, does anyone read their Bible without taking it out of context anymore??? The Blessing of the Lord it maketh RICH, and He addeth no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22...Luke 6:38, Deut. 28, 2 Cor. 9 etc. Read it and don't take this hater's word for it.

  • Praise God!! Wonderful! its not hate for the preachers but this nation needs a relationship with God, not money or earthly treasures.

  • Word/Faith Prosperity Doctrine is abject heresy. It cannot even be taught correctly as an offshoot of faith in Jesus Christ.

    Read I Timothy 6 and Matthew 6 and the bible has the answers right there.

  • "God being who He is must always be sought for Himself, never as a means toward something else."

    "Whoever seeks God as a means toward desired ends will not find God. The mighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be one of many treasures, not even the chief of all treasures. He will be all in all or He will be nothing. God will not be used."

    AW Tozer, Man the Dwelling Place of God, 56-57

  • It takes money to do ministry, but the means people or pastors use are all messed up. If you follow Christ, then God will provide and make provision to those who seek His righteousness: do good no matter what. So you don't have a big building, so Serving Christ and telling the Gospel truth is our Treasure!

  • I have a good feeling in my heart about this preacher. Finally someone who will tell the truth about these preachers who trick people into sending them money. It makes me sick to see them on tv telling people they will prosper for giving money. God bless this preacher. Amen.

  • Proverbs 11:4

    Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

    Proverbs 22:1

    A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,and favor is better than silver or gold.

    Proverbs 30:8

    Remove far from me falsehood and Lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me.

    Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

  • Heb 10:-

    35So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. 36You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37For in just a very little while,  "He who is coming will come and will not delay. 38But my righteous one[f] will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him."[g] 39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.

  • The real Gospel is so magnificent, so awesome- the God of the universe loves us so much He died for us! Who in their right mind would trade it for the prosperity mess?

  • GOOD WORD!

  • Brenda and Bungee Garrett are the Dogs of the city Austin Texas, they teach heretical ideas and destroy families.

    Peace to the true beleivers.

  • I just got censored. Did Jesus tell people to build churches and ask for money? Jesus told people to teach what he taught. Do Christians do this?

  • I totally agree!  All it is is greed "in the name of God."

  • you are correct! God doesn't need money.

  • Jesus didn't tell people to build churches and ask for money. He told people to teach what he taught. Do the 'followers' of Jesus do what he said to do?

  • Yes, they do. Don't confuse American Christianity with true Christianity. The gospel of Truth is thriving all over the world. We are like the Jews in Babylon now. We've lost so much for so little. We worship the Babylonian(American) god's and commit idolatry with our hearts and our bodies.

  • The WOF ppl would rather have Jesus, too. But they would rather have 'their' Jesus. They are taught that Jesus was a rich man filled with the Holy Ghost. sad, sad, sad,sad

  • I feel your pain brother...It greives me when I hear this. These pastors are pimping the Lord Jesus Christ like a prostitute.

  • Sue televangelists. They rake in mountains of cold hard cash by making advertising claims they cant justify, and selling a product that they cant deliver, they tell millions of people through their TVs that sending money 'preaches the gospel' when it infact goes on private jets, mansions and worst of all, bribary for unelected influence in government. you cant get more illegal than that. if you do not sue this you are unamerican. this is without doubt the biggest psychological hoax in history

  • He is on FIRE!

    preach it bro!

  • He is very emotional, fits of crying-But he is being honest.Tabitha- you sing girl.

  • it is better to give than to receive, AMEN! We have forgotten the poor people in the USA. I pray we start giving back to the poor in JESUS NAME! AMEN! Silver and gold have I none but such as I have I give unto the, May you and your family be blessed in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! AMEN! Lets reach our to the poor people living around us in Jesus Name! AMEN!

  • come unto me and i will give you rest come out of your sin and i will make you clean come out of your weakness and i will give you power from high come out from being poor i will make you rich in the soul who is sharing this news to the poor? i don't know but i know we need more of this news shared as well as the hand outs and the money if not even more but God bless

  • Gal 4:14 But even though my sickness was revolting to you, you did not reject me and turn me away. No, you took me in and cared for me as though I were an angel from God or even Christ Jesus himself. What does this have to with prosperity?

  • it has to do with word of faith because WOF teachers preach that you should not walk in sickness. "you need to claim your healing".

  • Again, the Bible is written for ALL of God's children. If you don't want to be healthy and prosperous then you won't be bothered by it.

  • Again, read Galatian 4:13-14. Did the Apostle Paul not have the same revelation as you? You and Copeland, Dollar, etc have a deeper understanding than him?

  • I stand on the word. It is the devil's tactic to keep you from health and prosperity. Go to Deut. 28. There is a lot more scripture to back this up.

  • Why did the Apostle Paul not have "victory" over his health issues? Read Galatians 4:13-14

  • Quite obviously, Paul did not remain sick. He did end up victorious over his sickness. But you can't expect the bible to record EVERYTHING.

    Romans 8:31-32

    2 Corinthians 2:14

    Ephesians 6:10-18

    Ephesians 2:10

    He wrote all that!

  • Silver and gold. Silver and gold. I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold. No fame or fortune. Nor riches untold. I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold.

    Don't give me a mansion

    on top of the hill

    Don't give me the world

    with a shallow thrill

    But just give me a saviour

    My life He can hold

    I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold.

    --song

    What does it profit a man if he gains the whole and loses his own soul?

  • Teachings of Jesus Christ: Sermon on the Mount. No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

  • The bible is written for every believer, not just one particular brethen. 1john 3:2

  • Context is important and you must balance it out with what other scriptures say. For example the text he's teaching from in this message.[ From 1 Timothy chapter 6.]

  • I stand on the word. It is the devil's tactic to keep you from health and prosperity. Go to Deut 28 and there is a lot more scripture to back this up.

  • Deut 28 is a covenant to Abraham, declaring HIs Sovereign plan to redeem Man. It's not a magic mantra or formula that Man can use to command God. That's totally foreign to the Scriptures.

  • If you really listened you will be free from all debt. If you don't want to believe in the prosperity message, you will not be bothered with it. You can only receive what you believe in. Jesus not only died for your soul, but died for your healing and prosperity also. 3Jo 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

  • 1 john 3:2 is nothing more than a well wish or salutation to fellow brethren. You must line it up with the rest of the Word of God. So is this the kind of advice you offer your friends who are in financial difficulties?

  • I stand on the word. It is the devil's tactic to keep you from health and prosperity. Go to Deut. 28. There is a lot more scripture to back this up.

  • He guys hope all is well with you may you be in peace and prosper .. Ok god where's my paycheck .. talk abpout ripping scripture out of context .. very sad indeed

  • I grew up singing this song. Not sure what the whole lyrics are, can't seem to find it on google.

    "I know that I know that Jesus is real, the warmth of his love I feel.

    He taught me how to live in peace, and I know that I know he's real.

    If I were to lose everything the world could afford, like houses and wealth untold.

    Be homeless and to live as the poor, I'd have something worth more than Gold."

    This is a true song about loving God.

  • And Paul said, 'I am content in all things."

    Phi 4:10-12

  • This guy is so full of offense and unforgiveness! He is in unforgiveness with this program that did not let him on. He needs to forgive,forgive,forgive.

  • He seemed pretty clear to me that it wasn't so much that he was in unforgiveness, but rather that the networks were leaving forgiveness out of the picture and making material prosperity the central message. He seems offended that the Gospel has taken on a new definition that is more Americanized religion. Anyone coming to Christ 'primarily' for personal gain comes with pretense. That's what he's protecting the sheep from.

  • prosperity pimping is worse than the lottery. it exploits poor people.

  • Well said..

  • its not even so much that it exploits the poor but it robs honest God loving people of a real church and real sound doctrines. Its sad to know that they probably won't come to know the real christ because they are so blinded by material wealth.

  • Deut 8:18 "But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is HE WHO IS GIVING YOU POWER TO MAKE WEALTH, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day."

  • Surely the prosperity gospel is false. Besides we must become sinners before God. We have become "arrived" christians. In many sermons the word 'sin' is hardly mentioned. If it is mentioned at all, it refers to the others.

  • If you really listened you will be free from all debt. If you don't want to believe in the prosperity message, you will not be bothered with it. You can only receive what you believe in. Jesus not only died for your soul, but died for your healing and prosperity also. 3Jo 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

  • if you can't see through Benny, Kenny and Joyce, what hope is there, gave to your local, bible believing church and to the poor, in secret, be content in all things

  • Let us be honest to ourselves: All these shamed activities in the church reveal God's judment described in 1 peter 4:17. I like this quote from 1Cor2two "Amen. Let's pray for them and be continually asking the Lord to examine our own hearts." Thank you.

  • $100 bucks to buy oil??? That's not of God. Selling a bottle of oil is more important then preaching salvation? Whatever ministry did this will answer to the Lord-hope they repent.

    If there is one thing greedy ministers can Not put a price tag on is salvation-salvation is a FREE gift from Christ. Amen to the Lamb of God!:+)

  • agreed. riches profit not on the day of judgement but righteousness. we should be preaching 10 commandments to show ppl their sins n their need for a saviour.

  • God... Is speaking to his church.. people, and he wants a clean house....! It's time that we prayed for the prosperity faith movement guys.. I'm seriously going to start praying.. and also for God to raise up more saints to expose the greedy money hungry people... in the church!

  • Amen. Let's pray for them and be continually asking the Lord to examine our own hearts.

  • @sheez Yes. We must save them from themselves. Get them back to God, if they truly ever followed God.

  • one thing i do wish though is i wish i could have the full song playing all the way through cuz its an awesome song man its a great song praise God he has blessed them with a wonderful choir

  • That song is found on itunes and it's called "I'd Rather Have Jesus".

  • yeah i went looking i found the songs but man this lady sings sooo good i want this one!!! this one!!!!! cuz it just gets you right down in the soul!!!!

  • I HAVE THIS SONG

  • amen what a message amen amen amen!!!!!! man its good to get a message like this!! praise the Lord im saved and bought by the blood of Jesus!

  • I really want to thank you for posting these videos. Please give these vidoes wide dissemination.

  • I believe God can bless his servants with material prosperity and it is not a sin.

    what I believe is a sin is our reaction to the less fortunate.Are we willing to share when God calls us to do so.Are we humble enough to see that those who are in deep pain and can glorify God in the midtst of it, is more in Gods heart than those who have material prosperity??I believe those who are prosperous with that mindset will be honoured and blessed by God.

  • I meant to say dont blame God for your inadequacy to comprehend his word the way he meant it. "what you speak against, you cannot have" Don't you know that he knows the intention of our hearts? he wants to bless a righteous man to be a blessing and a testimony for others in need. Psalm 1:1 Just because someone received the word and was blessed by it, doesn't give you the right to sit in the seat of the scornful.

  • I get more blessed seeing a man or woman that is content and strong in the midst of a trial or difficult situation. Anyone could praise God and shout hallelujahs when they are going through good times.

  • Did you know that living in poverty is a curse? Jesus said "Its better to OBEY, than to what? SACRIFICE!" It's funny you bring in the apostle Paul. Paul was acknowledging his illness, he didn't deny it, He should've denyed it's right! I believe God given us an imagination for a reason. Faith...what is faith?I believe Matthew 21:21 is a great example. Its when you shout praises and Hallelujahs through bad times that God bestows favor upon his children who diligently seek him and his righteousness

  • djecliptik wrote: "He should've denyed it's right!" Wow, so you have a deeper revelation than the Apostle Paul?

    lastly can you expound more on this:

    you wrote: "Did you know that living in poverty is a curse? Jesus said "Its better to OBEY, than to what? SACRIFICE!"

  • I believe Jesse Duplantis said it best " WHAT YOU SPEAK AGAINST, YOU CANNOT HAVE!" If you speak against prosperity, well... you won't have it. Theres something else, Its called the power of the tongue, we can speak life and death, and this also has to do with what I;m talking about.

    Also, read Deuteronomy 8:13-20, and then TRY to tell me that God doesn't want us (as the body of christ) to prosper.

  • You must find it amazing that there are so many here on youtube posting against this prosperity deception. Most of us are probably posting from the public library or were given a computer right? I mean most of us must be poor. To top it off, we even speak against these "annointed servants" . Didn't one of those Wof ministers say God would strike us dead?

  • Im not here to argue, however, I am here to encourage the body of christ. Just cause it hasn't been proven in your life and it has in someone else's, it makes you think. Think about this, have you even read the scriptures i posted before? If you did, then you should know that even those who are cripple, have a right to walk! I repeat, is nothing impossible for God? then, why do we(as the body) limit him, inside a box? because we won't pursue the faith that peter had walking on the water, fear!

  • I recognize that God can heal but I also recognize God's Sovereignty. Sometimes He has another purpose in allowing sickness or affliction.  Follow my user name to my church's website and listen to the message called "Living Your Life for God's Good". It's a teaching from Romans 8:28.

  • yes people who are crippled can walk but let me ask this when someone went for prayer OR asked Jesus to heal or for help with faith did Jesus says "I'll do theses things just send in the 100 dollars & you'll receive" i don't think so why are they on tv doing it? cuz its not the true gospel! prosperity preachers go around saying if you believe you can achieve lol

  • which its true but you wont always achieve just cuz you believed sometimes God doesn't give us what we want because its not his will so the question inst "is the prosperity message of God?" but rather "if you lose it all.. if (You) LOSE IT ALL!!!" "will Jesus... Be Enough!?...."

  • excellent post. I saw Paul Washer's testimony the other day where basically he said the same thing. Is Christ enough for you? For some sadly HE isn't but that's only because they haven't truly tasted of Him.

  • yes but its when you start putting money and things before the cross before Jesus and ahead of the Blood that shed before the Glory that you give to the Lord before His word from the Holy Bible before God before it ALL its when you make the things of this world and the money in it FIRST!!!! its ok to be rich and its ok to have money.. but the question is!!! The Question Is!!! IF YOU LOST IT ALL!!!!!! Would "Jesus" Be Enough?!?!?! would "Jesus!..." be enough?.....

  • Amen brother

  • You are spewing the lies set forth in "The Secret".

    1 Cor 16:22 - "If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be accursed."

    How does Jesus fit in your life? Is he first? Or, are you just being manipulative to enhance YOUR life.

    Rom 13:14 - But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts

    If I were you, I would ask for repentance from God.

  • God wants us to be blessed, to be a blessing. If you cant understand that, read the bible. Luke 6:38 changed my view on the prosperity message. I gave and and received more than I can handle, So I have to bless someone with it, because I am blessed, to be a blessing! AMEN!

  • SO if a person isn't blessed financially, is something wrong with their faith? What if someone is sick or has cancer? They just need enough faith like you or Copeland and they can be healed?

  • "you have not, because you ask not" Don't blame me for your inadequacy to comprehend God's word the way he meant it. I believe in healing, because "by his stripes,we WERE HEALED!" not GOING TO BE, not 20%, 50% or even 99.9%. We need to understand that the word of God concerning us, is ALIVE, it has POWER! God already made provision for our healing, we just need to receive, and claim it as our own healing! Who did he die and suffer for? ALL OF US!

  • Can you explain Galatians 4:13-14 then? -I guess

    you would rebuke the Apostle Paul in the same way.

  • I admire the True Gospel Loyalty in this man's heart. He's one of the few.

  • A few years ago after relocating, I (unknownly) sat in a word faith Church for a few weeks. I like to think, God supressed all the money talk until after I came to know a few members. Some of these members lives are destroyed/being destroyed. They thought God is OBLIGATED to provide anything from spouses to speedboats because they "planted a seed of faith." Others simply have "itching ears" and don't care about the truth. I feel these Churches should be identified as cults.

  • powerful

  • amen

  • Another thing - since I stopped "tithing" to the greedy and started following JESUS and truly came to the end of myself - found that he is the TRUE riches - I got offered a book deal, my husband got a 40% raise - among other things - but it didn't even matter because it meant nothing to us - so it's easier to give away : )

  • Yes - God is not an ATM machine - put in your deposit and he will give you back. I used to be there - I would give out of fear. Now, I give as I am led by His Spirit and more often it is more than 10%. The bottom line is the prosperity preachers are selling something they don't even own! My house shall be called a house of prayer!

  • beautiful beautiful post!! God bless you and keep you. Thanks for sharing.

  • I used to work for Bob Tilton long ago. I remember going by a room one day where Bob and his marketing consultants had a Reader's Digest Letter all tore apart on a table, examining it, and fashioning a ministry letter like the letter. There "ministry" is not from the Lord - it's from Madison Avenue.

  • I love this brothers boldness to preach the unfamiliar true word of God in this hour.People wake up,the mark of a true minister is,what can I do to serve you..Not..what can you do to serve me PERIOD!

    the Judgement has begun with the house of God,Lord have mercy on us all..Laura

  • I love this message in Jesus Name ..Hallelujah .. Pray for us too, in Singapore who are hearing this ... Praise Jesus

  • TRUTH BE TOLD!!!!

  • Wow, they need to show him on TBN and TTC and The Word Network!!!

  • I agree. They need to have him on here in Omaha Nebraska where we folks like Jay West peddling TBN's lies

  • god is showing people that these preachers, are cheats and money hungry. look at puala white and jim bakker and that guy ted who was having sex with a man. and many others who been caught. and these preachers say the devil made me do it, thats the best story u will hear. believe in god but lets get real and stop following these devil money hungry preachers. greed is part of the devil world.

  • I would rather die like Christ then live unholy. Praise the name of Jesus forever and ever!!!!!!

  • what is the name of that wonderful song?

    Mauricio. Love u. God bless you all.

  • Hello brother Mauricio, that song is titled " I'd Rather Have Jesus". i downloaded it a Itunes before. Or I'm sure it's available elsewhere too.

  • By no stretch of the imagination can they think they can start a church. Jesus started One (1) Church "...you are Peter ... and on this Rock I will build My Church ... I give you the keys of heaven ... what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, etc. " He is not in communion with The Church, and they should stop fleezing poor people.

  • I know this hymn so well, but didn't know the story behind it. Wonderful testimony!

  • ICor, you should listen to mac hammond timothy video. He will tell you! Your poverty preaching won't stand up there.

  • I just heard Mac Hammond. He's preaching the same heresy as Copeland, Dollar, and the rest of them wolves. You need to come out of that. May God help you and deliver you from that.

  • I hope and pray that more people's hearts become open to this message. I was once enslaved by the "greed gospel" and know many who are still deceived. Christians should be more concerned about the things of God than money.

  • AMEN BROTHER! I LOVE YOU IN THE LORD. Pray For Me.

  • Amen, 1cor2two, Amen! Keep up the Godly work!

  • From what I hear, the people in some parts of Africa are starving because the govt. keeps the food that is sent to them. Why, I don't know, maybe they sell it. God has already provided for us, and it's up to us what we have according to our faith. Of course, if we don't know we have it, how can we obtain it?

  • That shouldn't matter to the prosperity crowd. All you have to do is speak food into existence and believe for it. And if it don't appear it's your fault because you don't have enough "faith" like they do. It's a Shameful SHAMEFUL teaching. HERESY.

  • "it's up to us what we have according to our faith" NO it is up to God what we have. He is Sovereign, not us.

  • We are in the new testament now. Satan does come to steal, kill, and destroy. Some just don't want to give, that's the problem and want to blame it all on God. Poverty does NOT come from God, He's a good God, and He will deliver. Shame on you!

  • Oh God isn't Sovereign anymore? Wow.

  • I've heard of some revivals happening in Africa. That country should be rich by now. What's going on? How long before God makes you rich after you saved? How many offerings to Copeland and Creflo do youhave to give first?

  • Listen to this clip again and go to 2:59 of the message.

  • Okay, now I've got it. Never meant to offend anyone. Not my style. I still think lack and poverty comes from Satan. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy.

  • God ultimately is the One who is Sovereign. Some people are simply born into poverty in Third world Nations. Many of them will die in their poverty but they are rich in Christ Jesus. I've seen people that are poor that have such joy unspeakable! I don't think you even understand the gospel. The Joy found in CHrist is not dependent on material things.

  • You still don't get what I said. After reading some of your comments, I think you need to get on your knees and ask the Lord for His forgiveness. I will be praying for your understanding. You are not my judge.

  • Belovia50, I responded to what you said. I told you God is Sovereign. How do you reconcile your belief with what happened to Job? Job said THE LORD giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

    Satan cannot touch anyone unless God first allows him to. The prosperity crowd was around back then too. Look no further than Job's "friends".

  • Not your judge but I am called to discern error from Truth.

  • Mature Christians do not defend false teachers and heretics. They

    are to mark and avoid false teachers (Rom. 16:17). They are to reject

    heretics (Titus 1: 13), those who lay error alongside truth by secretly

    introducing destructive heresies (2 Pet. 2:1). Christians are to

    b(Lev. 10:1-2; Num. 16; 1 Kings 22:11, 24-25; Jer. 28:15-17,

  • Satan is the "god" of this world (II Cor 4:4) this means he has ownership of these things. What we have (as in tangible) are subject to him. Why did John state in 1John 2:15= "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him."

    Jesus promised us a life of hardship for following him.

    Lu 14:27- "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple."

  • Jesus said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light."

  • wow Donnie, you are preaching truth!!!! I too weep over what has become of the gospel of Jesus Christ! The Lord showed me last year that they were making a mockery of his name!!! I am so excited that you and others are seeing this Truth! I too, call these people to repentance!!!!!!!!!!

  • God help us. If we bite and devour one another, then who can be saved? It hurts to hear prosperity cursed, because lack and poverty is the devil's message. God said he would supply ALL our needs ACCORDING to HIS riches in Glory IN CHRIST JESUS. Phil.4:19.

  • belovia50, no one is saying God doesn't supply. But to condemn those that are in poverty that they are less spirtual, etc is shameful. I pray you never have to learn the hard way.

  • Amen

  • God's people need to return to the old paths and turn from the iniquities that is in their lives and return back to God. I am not for beating God's people over the head but to telling them the truth in God's word. We need to flee from evil and turn back to God. It starts in the heart and then it will show in every area of our lives because it is shown through the light of Jesus Christ. God bless you for standing for truth.

  • AMEN

  • GlorifyHisHolyname said:

    He has a strong anointing of criticism as well as the gift of criticism other than that good preaching.

  • I guess you'd say the same thing about the Apostle Paul?

  • maybe you should study about Biblical discernment

  • johnster404 Jesus had a treasurer and what would jesus be doing with a treasurer?

  • NOT wasting the money like them prosperity pimps the preacher refers to, that's for sure. You think him having a treasurer justifies twisting the scriptures like Copeland, Creflo, et al. do?

  • This guy rocks! About time someone said this!! He hit the nail on the head! PRAISE GOD!! This guy makes more sense than those other morons! RUN AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS!

  • Wow he should write a book. I am so tired of the games of finances in church. It has become a nothing less than a sales tactic.

  • Good message, but should be bolder and stronger. The truth is not weak, weeping, as if defeated. The truth reigns, conquering without fear.

  • I've read a few passages where Paul admits to weeping as he's writing the letter. Phillipians comes to mind where he talks about the "enemies of the Cross" whose "god is their belly".

  • listen to Paul Washer. He cries over the youth of this nation who claim Christ but do not obey His commandments. Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they would not receive the truth and they killed the prophets. I don't know what else this guy believes/preaches, but I know the prosperity gospel is eisegesis: making a conclusion, then finding the scriptures to back it up.

  • The wolf in the flock DOES make it hard for the righteous Pastors and Ministers to raise legitimate funds and ask for God inspired giving to aid God inspired ministries. The "wolves in the flock" are indeed a negative factor in proper growth of the church and its ministries...

  • thank you randy for that. it's almost nauseating to many when someone asks for money, b/c of all the money-hungry televangelists.

  • Thanks 1Cor2two. It's good to see a preacher attacking this damnable doctrine. THIS is the true gospel, that you repent, receive Jesus in your heart, be baptized with the Holy Ghost, and walk in the spirit, not the flesh. John the Baptist preached "repent!" Jesus preached "repent!" All the New Testament writers preached "repent!"

    Remember, it was Satan who told Jesus he'd make him rich if he'd fall down and worship him. Jesus didn't listen to him, but today's so-called "preachers" sure have.

  • Preachers shouldn't have to ask churchgoers for money. True Christians would give freely out of the goodness of their heart.

  • we don't really have "goodness" in our hearts. The bible says the heart is desperately wicked, who can know it. But, I think I know what you mean. True Christians, once they know they should give, should give b/c it's we love God, and it's the right thing to do.

  • And we don't give to see what we get out of it!!! True Christian giving does not have selfish motives. That is my problem with the prosperity preachers. They make it all about the individual. Giving ain't about YOU!

  • When you have the spirit of Jesus in your heart you cry because he cried to his father on the day he was crucified. That's how it feels. Glory be to Jesus.

  • I was returning from working on a failed venture by a word of faith adherent where one of the Big Boys had made a surprise visit that evening. On the way home the Holy Spirit overwhelmed me with grief that THEY would bastardize my beloved Lord's Gospel in such a way...I cried the whole hour drive home.

  • GOD bless the swaggart ministries..we love you..the cross...the cross THE CROSS!!!!..its about time thats what I was lookin for

  • The world needs more "word" like this! Some times we need to just sit back and study the word for ourselves and pray that God give us understanding. It's so many wolves in sheeps clothing, 'till it's not safe for the new believers.

  • 1st Corinthians 2 vs 2 "for i determined not to know anything amonng you, save JESUS CHRIST, and him crucified.

  • When did the word of God become for sale?

  • About the same time when wolves in sheep's clothing started to fleece their flock.

  • Read 1 Cor 9. Then ask that again.

  • Thank Jesus for HIS Word and those who will Boldly proclaim it...

  • Water from Israel? Sounds like that crap Peter Popoff peddles on TV.

  • this was beautiful

  • Friends, it has all started at the cross for those of us who were born from above, and may it forever be in our remembrance. The importance of pure Gospel in these last days is far greater than pride of life and wealth. It may be we truly live in the last days before the Lord comes... So teach it like it is. No aliens, even though they exist, no adultery or prosperity, but Jesus Christ crucified.
