I do not have time tonight, but I will watch your video. But it will not change my mind about God being a God of prosperity for His people, His children. God is not a child abuser but He is a Just rewarder. Your problem is that you can't see the difference between the LOVE of money & taking God at His Word for our provision in abunadance which is FAITH and stepping out on it is WORKS.. for faith without works is dead.BiggAndyy said:No, because the Prosperity Gospel is no gospel at all. It is a distortion of Christianity of the worst kind. It blames the sick for their condition, it blames the poor for their lack of faith, and it elevates man to the position of god and makes God a servant of the whims of mere men.
I know many will be put off by the length of this presentation but i implore you, find the 50 minutes, set it aside, and watch this from beginning to end. If it doesn't not at least make you consider for a moment that real harm comes from these doctrines I will be surprised.

Go and You-tube testimonies of Christians who were ex-satanists. They went to satan for power and money (carnal desires). They came to God, they are not rich carnally but very rich with spiritual blessings. We can't hold God to carnal blessings like the devil. We can just ask and trust that He will provide according to His will for us. We must see miracles beyond our nose. If I prasie God for giving me sight when I am blind, shouldn't I also praise Him daily for being able to walk, hear and speak? We must give thanks no matter what situation we are in! That is love!afaithfulone4u said: But it will not change my mind about God being a God of prosperity
I am glad that you brought that up, I love this verse, what shall we LET separate us from the love of God which is "His Word"... Will we be unfaithful to Christ to lie for goods, steal for food, shrink back due to persecution for the Word's sake? NO, nothing shall make us break His law for self gain in this life!! Our first desire MUST BE to do the will of God and His WILL is HIS WORD OF TRUTH and His Word of truth says that when we are obedient to Christ, then God can bless us and WILL BLESS US for He is a rewarder.KingJ said:Go and You-tube testimonies of Christians who were ex-satanists.

Please read this verse a couple of times. It really is one that has to sink in.
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord ( That love should work both ways. We should be able to say this to God when we get saved!)
Would you serve God if He lost all His power to the devil?
