Today we're talking to Costi Hinn, a pastor and the founder of For the Gospel Ministry, about a variety of topics related to prosperity gospel. Costi tells his own story of coming from believing prosperity gospel to his now more biblical views. We discuss what's wrong with the prosperity gospel, from untouchable faith leaders to churchgoers locked into their "name it and claim it" mantras. Costi has written a book, "More Than a Healer," in which he tries to help people gain a more complete picture of Jesus and which seeks to get people to understand what biblical justice is, even if the truth is difficult to hear.

I find it a little disconcerting that Allie will speak of a specific Bible teacher not specifically holding to the Bible's position on justice without naming her. There's nothing wrong with saying a teacher, who generally sticks to biblical positions, holds a different position so we can be alert if we listen to their teaching.

My sister is being let down by my step mom who would be considered a spineless Christian. She goes along with all the new “woke” ideeologies bc my sister has adopted every one of them, or her friends have. My step mom is too scared and frail to stand up for Gods word and accepts all of these woke cultural ideas, even tho she considered herself a Republican.

Costi Hinn is the only person I know of who has challenged prosperity preachers and his work is so appreciated. I used to work for Benny Hinn in Orlando in the department that received donations. We were paid $5.25 per hour and we were required to tithe 10% of that. The administrator was found to have stolen a large amount of money while having an affair with someone in the ministry although he was married. Benny’s right hand man who accompanied him everywhere was a heroine addict and died from an overdose. Another man who took care of Benny’s children as well as attended all crusades also a heroine addict and also died of an overdose while serving in the ministry. Benny was flirtatious.I helped to interview those who had been on stage and all I can say is that the results were not convincing. Mrs. Hinn was so snobby not acknowledging someone’s hello. She was not a very kind pastor’s wife. It’s well documented that Benny’s son beat up a blind person at a crusade. Benny was an absentee dad by his own admission. I feel Benny could be a sociopath. He has absolutely no guilt or remorse for fleecing sometimes very poor people who send in there last dollar. He’s destroyed his children by being such a terrible example. Thank you Costi!

What I appreciated most is Costi’s commitment to the Bible as the ultimate authority and how he kept going back to “what does the Bible say”. I’d love to hear a “part 2” of this discussion, as I’m sure you two could keep going! Looking forward to reading his new book!

Rightly dividing the Bible solves this confusion for me. God made a covenant with Israel in the Old Testament that if they would obey him, they would enjoy physical blessings on the earth. I am a Christian living in 2021. The biblical emphasis of my blessings are spiritual in nature. I do not hope for an earthly kingdom as the Jewish people did. My hope is heavenly. I am not promised physical healing. The promises made even in the gospels to the 12 apostles about things coming to pass if asked in Jesus’ name should be viewed in their historical context of the kingdom being imminent. I pray to God for everything as he instructs us too, but I do not hold Him to promises that were not addressed to me (though they are in the Bible addressed to others) as a new creature in the Body.

Paul brought a false gospel and Paul taught “Progressive Christianity.” “Progressive” which also means: enlightened, modern, radical, tolerant, broad, wide, ect. *1 Corinthians 9:20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;* *1 Corinthians 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.* (1 Cor 9:21 Ya all can't get much more tolerant and radical than to become without law) *1 Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.* (1 Cor 10:23 Ya just can't become any more broad and wide than claiming all things are lawful to me.) *1 Corinthians 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.* *1 Corinthians 8:10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;* *1 Corinthians 8:11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?* (1 Cor 8:9-10 Ya can't be more enlightened than the weaker brother than to have a liberty to sit at meat in the idol's temple and eat those things which are offered to idols. Just don't do it in front of a weaker unenlightened brother who might take offense.) Paul progressed away from Jesus' sayings, Jesus' teachings, and Jesus' instructions. “Progressive Christianity” started with Paul.

Job's situation was only temporary. But all his riches was restored. This too shall pass. Lots of scripture does talk about prosperity.....

@snopure 2 года назад

Yes, but Word of Faith ministries are myopic in preaching that prosperity must come while we're still on earth. The prosperity here is nothing compared to what awaits us in Heaven. And some of the scripture discussing prosperity is actually talking about what will happen to us after this earth passes away. Any pastor emphasizing prosperity is at least preaching a distraction when what should be taught is repentance and holiness, and they're ignoring the verses discussing wealth as an idol and a possible path to destruction.

@christynoordhoek2636 2 года назад

Job's wealth was returned but not because of anything he did. If it had not been returned to him, he still would have worshipped has it not passed. That's the difference.

He's doing such a great service to people, speaking against the fake Prosperity Gospel & explaining the difference between what they say & what's really true. It is confusing to see these Prosperity Punks mixing the words of the bible in with ideas that are false, presenting the theology in a way that isn't accurate, & it gets confusing. And so Costi is taking out the confusion & this is valuable. So thanks.

@GuruRasaVonWerder Год назад

name it & claim it? I want God. within God is all good. Yes, God can give things, health, anything. But the highest reward is none of those things, only God Herself. When God is in me & I can feel her Presence, I want & need nothing else. It's the Pearl of Great Price. I will give up all I have to have God. I will give up material possessions, my health, anything I have of the world & the flesh, all of it is nothing compared to having God. And if anyone teaches that God is there just to give us things they are a fool. Heaven is having God & when God is close to us here on earth, it is Heavenly.

@donnamitchell7099 2 года назад

Brought up on the other side, where poverty was made to be the only way to be spiritual. So struggle a long time with guilt over any thing that I had that was material.

@machtnichtsseimann 2 года назад

I hear ya and can relate somewhat. But there can be SUCH a tragedy when teachers and preachers talk endlessly about "Prosperity", reaping a LOT of $$$$ from poor or struggling folks along the way, and the more vulnerable have less in their banking accounts to show for it. The worst in the Church are outright grifters and liars and cheats, the better Charismatic clergy are misguided, IMHO. ( I do speak from experience. Lots of emotional sermons and passion, but it's the same old formula that doesn't much pan out for seemingly devout, obedient, God-loving folks. Not meaning to extinguish any good spiritual fire, but I won't cowtow to the superficial hope being offfered, either. A lot of this comes down to Common Sense, financial education and intelligence, working an honest job, living within one's means, and, yes...life can still be unfair. Everyone suffers in some way. Christ didn't promise we wouldn't. )

@donnamitchell7099 2 года назад

That's the point not all prosperity Teachers say name it and claim and give to them There are a few who actually encourage people to also work hard tythe and be brave enough to follow their dreams. Dream that are given by God.Loke the young boy in Africa. God gave him a vision about how to bring water and electricity to his village. He took a bike a made it into a way of using the wind and sun to generate power to get water to his garden.

@machtnichtsseimann 2 года назад

@@donnamitchell7099 - That is a FAR more realistic and holistic view of "prosperity" that sounds like a Vision of the Spirit. The Problem? We humans, of which Believers are a part of ( ;-) ), are VERY biased in how we "claim" God will bless us through our "naming" of something we are praying for. Discernment is truly an art form, of which too many that I've met, especially of the Charismatic tribe, come off as approaching God as a Genie. Make a wish, He delivers. On my worse days, I begin to think Christians are engaging in witchcraft and don't even know it. Manipulating God for $$$ / Material Possessions / Career Advancement, etc.? EX: Unfortunately, I know some Christian women who are in their 50's, single, never married, and they insist God will "bring a man" for them based on certain expectations ( education / income / looks ), yet they are not realistic as to WHY they are where they are in life, i.e. too picky, passed over what possibly were many options God brought across their path, sense of entitlement posing as "having Faith". So, there is a lot to this issue after all.

@amystrickland6876 2 года назад

Here’s the main problem with the prosperity gospel. And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head. Luke 9:58. If in fact people believe that Scripture is inerrant, then there is no room to believe that Jesus had earthly wealth. In fact, he was poor. Were being poor not God’s will for anyone, then God himself was indeed jipped (by His Own Self) when He walked the earth. Jesus did not come to distribute earthy wealth to his “followers.” Indeed all we need is supplied in Christ Himself and WAY too much Scripture says so without being vague about it.

@donnamitchell7099 2 года назад

Tired of people lumping all of the prosperity Teachers together. Many of them teach that you have to obey and walk in God's way of doing things. I have not heard them say name and claim it...But encouraging people to Praise God and Thank him for all the blessing he has given them. I hear them say to walk in love towards one another.

@machtnichtsseimann 2 года назад

"Name it and Claim it" is shorthand for: "If you have Faith as of a mustard seed, then ( fill in the _____ ) will be given to you." The teachers who instruct to "Be specific", i.e. a certain expensive car, a large expensive house, material possessions, and other blessings, are in effect teaching to Name-It-Claim-It. "Blessings" can be of a non-material reaping, which such teachers don't spend too much time talking about. Hence, a problem or outright heresy.

@christynoordhoek2636 2 года назад

Of course there is prosperity. Prosperity Gospel is something totally different. Prosperity gospel says you earn something by claiming it, manifesting it. Takes the focus off God. God's people can prosper - that's absolutely true but we are still to worship when we aren't prospering and we are to recognize every good and perfect gift comes from above. I am not prosperous because I purchased some water via a 800 number. I'm not sure you understand what the Word of Faith movement actually is.

@user-tb7iz1vf7p 2 года назад

The issue is not prospering. The issue is when prosperity is made into a golden calf, and that’s precisely what these false prosperity gospel teachers have done. They’ve perverted the word of God. Christ is not the reward for them, the reward is everything else, except Him. That’s the problem!

@coasterthekid8867 2 года назад

The Bible tells us to live as Jesus lived. I think a problem with a lot of modern-day Christians is that they cherry pick what they want to hear from the Bible and thus aren’t true to their religion and their faith. Living like Jesus isn’t just being kind, accepting, and forgiving to others. Jesus lived in poverty and he told anyone who wanted to follow him that they would have to rid themselves of any material possessions, luxuries, or riches. Jesus and his followers lived with nothing but the clothes on their back and Traveled on foot from city to city Spreading the word of God. They didn’t have a house and they didn’t have a food supply because they believed in the goodness of God and knew he would provide for them through the goodness of others. If we are to truly live like Jesus then we are to do the same. I am not encouraging you to be homeless, but live in a modest home without luxuries, just a bed, a washroom, and a kitchen table.

@aclark8524 2 года назад

God wants to bless us. Money is esential. It's the love of money , making a God / idol out of it , that is wrong. Bible says money answers all things. Money buys food, clothes , pays rent , put gasoline in our cars , supports ministries , etc. Without it , some people go without necessities ; some live in poverty. By being prosperous, an individual can reach out to those in need , support charitable groups , buy Christian books ( Costi 's ) , etc. Money helps make life more enjoyable for ourselves , others , etc. Prosperity is a blessing from God. Deuteronomy 8:18 ( KJV ) .

@machtnichtsseimann 2 года назад

A problem with your dogmatic statement is, well, its sense of absolutism without various contexts at play. Christ said to the Rich Young Ruler to give all away and to follow Him, which the latter didn't. Did Jesus tell everyone else to do the same? If it were a requirement, then He would have stated it to ALL rich persons He encountered, which He did not. Also, when criticizing the storing up of earthly treasures where moth and rust destroy, He wasn't teaching to not enjoy our posssessions! It was a spiritual insight as to the Order of "Things", so to speak. Oftentimes, taking one verse as an Absolute Principal for One and All at All Times doesn't pan out in the totality of the Church and the Scriptures.
