The prosperity gospel movement preys on two things that everyone
wants: health and wealth. Evangelist Justin Peters has been warning
Christians about the dangers of the Word of Faith movement following
years of failed healing attempts over his cerebral palsy from faith
teachers like Nora Lam. “Prosperity theology has its roots in
metaphysical sciences,” says Justin, “and most of what you see on
Christian television today is little more than a cultish philosophy
wrapped up in Christian lingo.” Prosperity preachers like Steven
Furtick, Paula White, and Kenneth Copeland appeal to the human
desire for money and success and present an aberrant view of God,
Christ, and the Atonement.

TAKEAWAYS

The prosperity gospel says that if you come to Jesus, you can have
wealth and health, but that’s not the real gospel

On Earth, Christians are not promised prosperity but persecution
(Matt. 10:22)

Word of Faith preachers often teach the heresy that Jesus was a
“good man” who “grew into” his godhood

When people sing music from Bethel or Hillsong, they are singing
music that originated from a cult
