Another Gospel
July 22, 2008
David Wilkerson (known for his book “The Cross and the Switchblade) from Times Square Church, preaches a strong word about the prosperity gospel of riches and success. Is the Gospel about money and prosperity? Did Jesus die to make us rich? This is a short ten minute clip. Give it a listen!

Another Gospel -David Wilkerson
May God open the eyes of the blind! The Gospel is not about worldly goods and temporary riches -it’s about CHRIST, salvation, eternal life, the Kingdom of God; a kingdom that is NOT of this world! Have you been deceieved by a delusion?

Never Be Deceived America
Is it possible that today a counterfeit gospel and counterfeit Jesus is being preached in our nation and in the world at large? Just because someone says that they believe in Jesus, does that really mean that they are Christians? Should we believe every person regardless of the way that they live their lives and what they believe in scripture?
Well, I believe that we should not. For we read in scripture that their will be some who will try to trouble us, by perverting the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Now, the Bible makes it very clear, if someone comes to you preaching another gospel, which is not found in the Word of God, or another Jesus that we have not read about in scripture, then we are on no account to receive them as followers of Christ. Paul the apostle of Jesus Christ, was not fooled he said “they profess that they know God; but in works they deny Him,”
In 2 John v 9, we read “Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God, he that abideth in the doctrine of Christ; he hath both the Father and the Son.” So if anyone comes to you and says, “we believe in Jesus”, but not in the word of God as it is written in the Holy Bible, then we do not receive them, or welcome them, for they are trying to make you doubt God’s Word, and trying to weaken your faith. It is written, “If there come any unto you and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed,” {2 John v 10}.
So beware in these last days do not listen to anyone who does not bring you sound doctrine, always check out everything that you hear in the Holy Scriptures. If you do you will never be deceived, for we must remember the Words of Jesus, “For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that if it were possible they shall deceive the very elect,” {Matthew 24 v 24}.
Dear Saints, let us hold on to God’s Word filling our minds with His truth, if we do we shall never be deceived by what we hear or see.

by the time i finished your vrey short account on the flaws of the prosperity gospel, tears were rolling down my eyes as i beheld a possibility that there could be ministres of the Word who are out to decieve even the elect of God (Mathew 24:24) for filthy lucre’s sake.

yes it is nice to be rich and healthy but that is not what we shoul preach…The Cross of Christ has neither substitute nor fascimile..besides, what does God say about the love of the world and that which is found in the world….or better still, ..why should you store up your tresres where they perish…and ’since when did a man’s life consist of his possessions…? prosperity gospel preachers should not try to validate their shameless love for weath by pretending that Jesus had an obligation to die in poverty so that we become rich…it is not a ‘get out of jail free card issue..’ we have to live in an unjust world, suffer, persever and perchance get saved..the issue of health and wealth is besides salvation. salvation is God’s prerogative..money and God do not compare in heaven or on earth…God will judge us according to whether wo believed in the Son Jesus Christ and we should preach His Life, Suffering, Death and Resurrection PERIOD
