I say amen to your comment. I like your honesty about being young and poor and wanting it to be true but in your heart of hearts you knew it was not so. Of course that was the witness of the Spirit. Igree with you about the ultimate fate of the nominal church or the established church. It was always too easy to believe that it would be the Catholic church alone, as was thought for a long time. This world is so important to the people of the prosperity persuasion that when push comes to shove, and their lifestyle or position is threatened they will turn on the people who are causing the “problem.” That would be the “remnant,” or the actual Church. How ironic, some of the very same reasons why the Pharisees killed our Lord, to maintain their position and protect themselves from the “world,” which in their case was the Romans………….Frank Hi Cindy, always good to hear from you dear sister.

So true, and well put. The prosperity gospel has had a long running. Thirty years ago I had my first exposure to it. I was young and poor and it sounded good, yet I do remember feeling in my heart there was something wrong there. But money was so tight I really wanted it to be true. Didn't work. (God's mercy to me, no doubt.) ;) It's funny, though, how sitting under that message can mess up your perceptions. They said that spiritual blessings were more important than all the material stuff, but you know--they didn't really believe that, and neither did the audience. How could anyone think spiritual things were of anything but secondary importance when we were being urged to "believe God" for all sorts of physical things (all for His glory, of course!)? Of course, all of this abundant blessing was to be ours for the merest pittance given in the support of the "ministry." It's gotten worse since then, I think, though I've been out of that for a long, long time. I believe this will be the ultimate fate of the nominal church--it will merge with the rest of the false religions and become the great whore seated on the beast. The prosperity preachers are already 99/100 of the way there. God is so merciful, isn't He? Love, Cindy Hi, Frank

It’s funny, though, how sitting under that message can mess up your perceptions. They said that spiritual blessings were more important than all the material stuff, but you know–they didn’t really believe that, and neither did the audience. How could anyone think spiritual things were of anything but secondary importance when we were being urged to “believe God” for all sorts of physical things (all for His glory, of course!)? Of course, all of this abundant blessing was to be ours for the merest pittance given in the support of the “ministry.” It’s gotten worse since then, I think, though I’ve been out of that for a long, long time.

I believe this will be the ultimate fate of the nominal church–it will merge with the rest of the false religions and become the great whore seated on the beast. The prosperity preachers are already 99/100 of the way there.

God is so merciful, isn’t He?

Have you ever seen something taking place that you didn't know how to explain to others? This is how it's been for me concerning the prosperity gospel. It's a dangerous thing, and yet it's a struggle to try and explain it to one who has memorized all of the appropriate verses in order to embrace a doctrine of "gain-equates-to-godliness." This page sums up perfectly, the varying degrees of the prosperity group and how the love of things leads to having leanness in ones soul. This page contains an excellent explanation of the dangers associated with the neverending pursuit of status and stuff in this world. This page has caused much pondering and reflection ever since I first read it several days ago. Thanks for consistantly placing items on your blog that are of such importance. Blessings always in Jesus name. timbob Good evening. Have you ever seen something taking place that you didn’t know how to explain to others?
