Prosperity Heretics and Poverty Heretics - Satan Loves Them Both #35 Beyond the Walls Radio

Much confusion abounds concerning the dominion mandate which began in Eden and was refreshed by Christ during His delivery of the Great Commission. The appropriate repulsion caused by hyper-prosperity heretics, who have misled millions into believing that wealth is an accurate indication of righteousness, has driven many into another ditch of equally disturbing heresy - the perverted lie that poverty is in any way connected to righteousness. On both ends of these exaggerated doctrinal abuses, false assumptions of truth have been repeated so often from their respective pulpiteers that masses of Christians have allowed Biblically unsupportable myths to become mental strongholds mistaken as truth. In this message, Pastor Gordon invites students of the Bible to navigate the hard facts as they are actually presented in the Scriptures. He leaves the cliches behind to carefully consider Satan's recorded resistance against all believers in every covenant since Eden. The Bible teaches four things: 1) Being wealthy does not mean you are righteous. 2) Being impoverished does not mean you are righteous. 3) The sin of laziness brings poverty. 4) The virtue of hard work mixed with faith brings blessings and success. How has Satan primarily resisted all believers? In the two primary dimensions of our twice-born call to take dominion of the earth: by resisting or perverting the property instinct and the sexual instinct.
