Summary
The prosperity gospel is a perversion of both the gospel and God's law, and has led millions of souls to hell. It is a doctrine that says that you don't have to obey God's Word, but that you can simply put faith in your faith rather than faith in Christ.

Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your
00:00:05.860
cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:18.940
And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24.120
that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star review. Also,
00:00:31.860
perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend. We hope you'll
00:00:37.060
take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless. Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:44.840
but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:49.780
the law of god brings life the law of god does not eternally save the soul no man will be saved
00:01:01.640
by works as done unto the law as the apostle paul says in the book of romans but the law of
00:01:08.460
god and obedience to the law it does bring life the scripture speaks of the law of god as that
00:01:16.000
which revives the soul and that really throws a wrench into the gears of a lot of evangelicals
00:01:25.120
today they can't even quote scripture on that point without blushing because it seems to
00:01:33.560
contradict the doctrines of grace to say that God's moral standard and that obeying and observing
00:01:43.100
god's moral standard would have a positive and spiritual effect on a person that it would even
00:01:52.400
revive the soul it seems like heresy seems like legalism or it seems like a quote from the bible
00:02:04.120
the law of god does revive the soul does not save the soul only the perfect finished obedience of
00:02:12.860
christ which is received by grace through faith alone saves the soul but hearing the law of god
00:02:20.520
through faith and obeying the law of god by grace leads towards a life of abundance
00:02:30.700
it leads towards a life not just the life to come but here and now of peace that surpasses
00:02:38.500
all understanding joy unspeakable fullness of joy in his presence the law of god and obedience to it
00:02:50.320
by grace through faith in christ it revives the soul it brings back the weary wanderer
00:02:58.940
into a place of structure, security, safety, and blessing.
00:03:09.940
it has been misconstrued, misinterpreted, twisted, and tweaked
00:03:14.820
a thousand times over by the evangelical church.
00:03:18.300
The principle is this, obedience brings blessing.
00:03:32.620
The prosperity gospel says that you can put faith
00:03:39.540
The prosperity gospel cares nothing for obedience.
00:03:42.460
The prosperity gospel is the equivalent of saying
00:03:45.460
rather than working hard and practicing integrity
00:03:48.080
and being faithful in all of life to the commands of God,
00:03:55.560
and if you believe hard enough you're guaranteed to win that's not obedience the prosperity gospel
00:04:03.600
which is a heresy and has led millions of souls to hell it is no trifling matter but the prosperity
00:04:13.560
gospel is not a doctrine of obedience bringing blessing it is a doctrine that says that you
00:04:19.920
don't have to obey, that you can simply take your red ruby slippers and tap them together three
00:04:26.340
times and say there's no place like a million dollars and it'll be granted to you. It's the
00:04:32.440
power of positivity. It's believing in yourself. It's faith in your faith. None of that is the
00:04:38.540
gospel. However, also none of that is God's law. The prosperity gospel is not choosing obedience
00:04:46.740
to the commands of God over the gospel, it's choosing neither. The prosperity gospel is a
00:04:53.360
twisting and a perversion of both the gospel and God's law. So the solution to certain heresies,
00:05:00.800
such as the prosperity gospel, is not to be lawless. It is not to abandon the very basic
00:05:07.920
biblical principle that there is an undeniable correlation between obedience and blessing.
00:05:14.080
obedience and blessing is not how we veer off into the prosperity gospel
00:05:18.440
obedience bringing blessing is undeniable it is undeniable it is heresy the heresy of legalism
00:05:28.640
to say that obedience brings salvation namely our obedience bringing salvation but obedience does
00:05:36.500
bring blessing even for the pagan even for the reprobate for the non-elect if they simply
00:05:43.780
conform at least in measure outwardly to the standards of god that they live outwardly in
0.95
00:05:51.040
some measure of obedience to god's universal standards set forth in his law they will have
00:05:56.700
a better life still go to hell apart from faith in jesus but temporally in this life here and now
00:06:04.160
things will go better with them why because god will not be mocked a man will reap what he sows
00:06:12.340
and the principle irrevocable principle of sowing and reaping God has baked into the very fabric of
00:06:21.760
the world in which he has made and whether we reject God or submit to God we have no choice
00:06:27.680
but to live in God's world and because we live in God's world those who live according to God's
00:06:33.800
rules will experience a better life. So God's law matters. It reveals to us our need for a Savior
00:06:42.720
in the first sense, but beyond that, the law of God also functions as a compass, a guide, a lamp,
00:06:49.360
a light that shows us where to go not to merit God's favor, but as a response of gratitude for
00:06:56.200
the free favor we have in christ already and as we seek to obey god's law with joy
00:07:02.900
not only is there benefit and heavenly eternal rewards which i do believe the bible speaks to
00:07:11.020
plainly but there is also tangible and practical benefits temporally here and now so our church
00:07:18.760
covenant bible church we not only acknowledge the law of god through gritted teeth
00:07:25.140
but we delight in the law of god not only is that which is morally right but that which is
00:07:32.160
the good that which brings benefit and prosperity to our lives here and now can i be frank with you
00:07:42.480
for just a second right here at the end look some of you guys you're financially supporting this
00:07:47.520
ministry and from the bottom of my heart i say thank you i cannot thank you enough however some
00:07:54.640
of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be
00:08:01.180
honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian
0.97
00:08:08.580
political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have written checks
00:08:16.800
that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession.
00:08:22.740
We are living in a recession right now, regardless.
00:08:27.480
