MONEY

AB Prosperity is Not Selfish

There is a mistaken belief that being prosperous is sinful, and having money is against God’s will. But if we study the Scriptures, we see that He wants to bless us in every way and in every aspect of our lives, including our finances. Money itself is not evil, but the worship of it is. In both the Old and New Testaments we see example after example of God teaching us the difference between the right attitude and the wrong attitude about money. If our heart is right and our motives are pure, it is okay to be prosperous.

We need the heart of a steward (Matthew 25:1-46).
The parable of the bridegroom and the virgins teaches us that we should manage the resources God has given us, and always be prepared for when He comes.
We must manage God’s affairs the same way a steward manages his master’s business.
Planning ahead is wise. Procrastination is seen as being foolish.
In this case, the oil is the Gospel and also the anointing from God.
Jesus also tells a story about a master who gives talents to his servants and punishes the one who did not multiply his talents.
God expects us to multiply the talents and gifts He blesses us with, not simply receive them and keep them to ourselves.
Our God is a God of multiplication. He wants us to use our abilities to serve others, and He will multiply them.
The lesson about the sheep on God’s right and the goats on His left illustrates how God sees the way we utilize the talents and gifts He gives us.
The sheep are the multipliers who shared God’s’ gifts by giving water to the thirsty, feeding the hungry, visiting those who were sick and in prison, and welcoming the stranger. The goats did none of that.
The sheep stewarded and managed God’s affairs properly.
Prosperity is not selfish. It is for the purpose of carrying out the business of the kingdom.
It is not about us, it is about blessing others through the excess that comes to us.
Motivation is important.  We can do all the right things for all the wrong reasons. Our motivation must come from a humble heart wanting to bless others.
If what we do is not done in the right spirit, it will amount to zero blessing for us.
The mother of Zebedee’s children appeared to worship Jesus, but she had ulterior motives (Matthew 20:20, 21).
She wanted something for herself, and Jesus detected that right away.
Whatever we do, if it is not done out of love, it matters not (1 Corinthians 13:3).
As Christians, we should measure our motives against this Scripture.
Giving is a reflex that comes from the right motives, which come from loving and trusting God and wanting to thank Him for what He has done.
Abram gave tithes because of his thankfulness to God for delivering him from his enemies (Genesis 14:20).
Zacchaeus gave out of his gratitude and love for Jesus (Luke 19:5-8).
Mary also gave with the right spirit, out of thankfulness for Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead (John 12:1-3).
There is widespread misinterpretation about how the Bible describes financial prosperity. It is not about money, but about loving and trusting God.
Being godly does not mean we should not have money. The book of Timothy describes contentment as having our needs met (1 Timothy 6:6-12).
Loving God does not mean we have to be broke and poor, and having money does not mean we are ungodly.
Money has nothing to do with godliness. It has to do with our relationship with money.
Real prosperity is defined by how much we give away, not how much we keep for ourselves.
Joseph prospered even though he was a slave and did not have lots of “stuff” at first (Genesis 39:2, AMP).
God made him prosperous and successful.
Everyone Joseph came in contact with was blessed through him.

MONEY

AAMoney is an Amplifier

The devil is a liar. The only way he can destroy God’s work in us is to get us to believe his lies. For years, much of the church has believed that in order to be holy and in order to be humble, in order to be glorious and sanctified, we must be poor.

Satan will cause fear to rise up in people if you start mentioning the word money in a church. The reason why is that many have been taught that money will corrupt you, that money will give you bad character. That is a lie! Money is nothing more than an amplifier.

If a man, who doesn’t have a whole lot of money, is taking a woman to a cheap motel and committing adultery, lots of money or lack of money won’t change his character. If this same man gets rich, the only thing that will change is he will fly the woman to a tropical island resort and commit adultery in an expensive hotel. It’s not going to change his bad character. Money doesn’t change your character. It just amplifies your character.

If you are a good person and you don’t have much money, but you are giving one or two dollars to the poor and all of a sudden you get a bunch of money, it’s going to amplify your character and you will give thousands of dollars to the poor. Money amplifies the character that is already within you. It doesn’t change your character. We’ve used that as an excuse for too long.

The Bible never says money will corrupt you. We have all heard that the Bible says money is the root of all evil. But that is not what it says! The Bible says, “The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). You trace it out and you’ll find the love of money is what is behind pornography, murder, and gambling. That love of money is what’s behind every sin that there is. The love of money may be a root of all kinds of evil – but it’s not the money that’s evil.

God said through the prophet Habakkuk, “Look among the nations and watch – be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you” (Habakkuk 1:5). This scripture lets us know something important. God is getting ready to do a work in these last days in His Church that is so astonishing, so phenomenal, that some of us will not believe it even after it is told to us because it is something that will just set us ablaze with the glory of God. We have to be ready. People are going to be drawn to the glory of God. They are not going to be drawn to a beat down, wimpy church.

Most Christians have the door closed when it comes to prosperity in their lives. Don’t let yourself become accustomed to believing that things are never going to get any better. We must start living in the overflow. The man who fears (honors, respects, esteems) God lives in prosperity.

“Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses. He himself shall dwell in prosperity, and his descendants shall inherit the earth” (Psalm 25:12-13).

Who is to inherit the earth? You and me! We are the descendants. We are the ones who inherit.

God enjoys our prosperity. “Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor My righteous cause; and let them say continually, ‘Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant'” (Psalm 35:27). This verse doesn’t say that God has pleasure in the poverty of His servant, but pleasure in the prosperity of His servant. This is not just talking about money. It is talking about living in the overflow of God’s goodness and His abundance.!

“Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness (the glory) and all the prosperity that I provide for it” (Jeremiah 33:9).

You may say, “Well, that’s for Israel, not us.” That is wrong thinking! Galatians 3:29 says, “If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” We are the inheritors of the promises.

That is good news! Let’s live in the overflow that God desires for us. Let’s live where God wants us to live.

Excerpt from Larry Ollison’s book, “Life is in the Blood.”

THE GOD OF MIRACLES IS ALIVE

JESUS CHRIST WHO IS THE SAME YESTERDAY TODAY AND FOREVER FED 5,000 PEOPLE WITH OUT ASKING FOR ANY MONEY UNLIKE LIKE THE FALSE TV EVANGELISTS TODAY WHO CAN DO NOTHING WITHOUT BEGGING FOR MONEY

MATTHEW 14:13 When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities.
14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick

15 When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”
16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”
17 And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.”
19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.
21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children. 

JESUS CHRIST GAVE HIS FRIENDS A NET BREAKING BOAT SINKING LOAD OF FISH WHEN THEY DIDN’T CATCH ANYTHING. THIS IS SOMETHING FALSE PREACHERS CANNOT DO TODAY:

Luke 5: 1 So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,
2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.
3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.”
6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.
7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;
10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.”
11 So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.

OPRAH GOT SAVED!

d49a5-oprahEVEN THE DEVIL CAN SAY “…My favorite Bible verse, because I am a Christian, is Acts 17:28. It says, ‘In God I live, and move, and have my being.’

BUT THE DEVIL CANNOT SAY “JESUS CHRIST IS MY LORD, SAVIOR, HEALER,  DELIVERER, KING AND BAPTIZER IN THE HOLY SPIRIT”

Oprah Winfrey Professes her Faith in Jesus Christ  June 1, 2011, the Editor-in-Chief of BCNN1.com made the following statement after Oprah’s public Farewell to her talk show:
“Evidently, Oprah Got Saved Recently, Now She Needs to Make that Clear to Her Millions of Fans

Based upon statements that Oprah made throughout last week regarding God and Jesus Christ, we believe that Oprah has recently truly accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour and has been born again this year.”

Well, she has made it clear to her millions of fans. Here is the profession of faith that Oprah made last night, April 23, 2012, at her lifeclass in New York City before the entire world for the glory of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Here is what she said:

“I am not talking about religion. I am a Christian. That is my faith. I’m not asking you to be a Christian. If you wanna be one, I can show you how. But it is not required. I have respect for all faiths…”

“…My favorite Bible verse, because I am a Christian, is Acts 17:28. It says, ‘In God I live, and move, and have my being.’

Now we know that some people are going to doubt Oprah’s profession of faith in Christ and some are going to say negative things about this because she has different people of different faiths on her show and so forth. But before you Pharisees say all of that, please understand that OWN is not a Christian network. It is a network for all people. OWN is Oprah’s business, and we as Christians know what that is like when you’re doing business in a secular world. So Oprah’s business side is going to be different, but it does not take anything away from her faith in Christ.

We want to publicly thank the Lord for Christians, Stedman Graham, Tyler Perry, T.D. Jakes, and others who wisely encouraged her and coached her on how to make her public profession of faith in Christ before the world. We believe that Oprah’s true “next chapter” is to finish her life leading millions to the Christ that saved her.

Before you criticize her about why she didn’t come out as a Christian sooner, just remember that Jesus had His public disciples, the Peters, Jameses, and Johns, but He also had his secret disciples, the Nicodemuses and Joseph of Arimatheas. When His public disciples, Peter and the other disciples, forsook Him at His trial and His crucifixion, it was His secret disciples, such as Joseph of Arimathea, that stood with Him until the end. Joseph of Arimathea took His body off the cross and placed Him in his own grave. All of Jesus’ followers are not out front, some are behind the scenes doing just as much for Him.

We want to encourage all Christians to pray for Oprah as she grows in her faith in Christ.

 New Age Witch Oprah Winfrey Exposed   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZqBuKEKb_k&sns=fb

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

If Oprah is a Christian we can expect to see her depart from iniquity and say to others  what apostle Paul said in Galatians 5:
16    I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17    For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
18    But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19    Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
20    idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
21    envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23    gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
24    And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25    If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

It’s the Anointing from God that heals and delivers you. Jesus Christ died for all of us so thanks to him we have the Holy Spirit down on this Earth to comfort us. Jesus Christ died in the cross for all of our sins, rose again on the third day. He is sitting at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. God sent the Holy Spirit down to this Earth after Jesus Christ sat next to him in Heaven

If the gospel that you preach isn’t confirmed with sighs and wonder, it’s not the same gospel that Jesus preached. The WORD says in 1 Thess 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

The gospel of Jesus Christ must always be confirmed because a WORD only gospel is just not enough

Galatians 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. “It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!  “Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.   “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. Mathew 10:24-27

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.  For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.  But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.  Therefore He says:  “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead,  And Christ will give you light.”  See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,  redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:11-17

Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20

Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;  and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 2 Timothy 4:2-4

THIRD WAVE CHURCHES ARE VERY DECEPTIVE

OBAMA

Now the whole Bible really does not say do not judge others.. but it says for us to judge righteously and not wrongfully. The Bible forbids only the unrighteous judgment. There is no such thing as living in a world in which individuals are not being judged by others for the actions that they take or what they say.

Prov 27:5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.

Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent

NOW ANYBODY CAN BE DECEIVED AND THAT IS WHY JESUS USED THE WORDS “BEWARE OF”

be·ware (b¹-wâr“) v. be·wared, be·war·ing, be·wares. –tr. 1. To be on guard against; be cautious of. –intr. To be cautious; exert caution.

MT 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

MT 10:17 “But beware of men,

MT 16:6 Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”

Too many now even  of those Third way preachers, or the apostolic ones are false, even yes those who call themselves apostles and prophets.  False pride comes before their free downfall again they now clearly have hijacked the full Gospel to exalt themselves falsely or to   raise money for themselves, it is a self job creation empire, they even steal cause they are all mostly hirelings.. and it is  why they so easily commit adultery now as well.. and are too often  alcoholic drunks .. liars..  do even practice divorce , now by their own fruits you can tell what they realy are..

So many so called Christian. leaders, TV evangelist, Preachers are so busy tying now to change the others, but are they themselves firstly now really even walking in the right path? An in-depth study will prove the too many of the leaders, teachers who are fanatically entrenched into this helping us in this Reformation,  Apostolic movement are even deliberately  attempting to steal the  Bible believing Christian’s Money.. Don’t be surprised at all of this for the old testament priests stole God’s tithe, money as well. Read the book of Malachi.

Mal 2:1  And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. Mal 2:2  If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Mal 2:3  Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it. Mal 2:4  And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. Mal 2:5  My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. Mal 2:6  The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity. Mal 2:7  For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. Mal 2:8  But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. Mal 2:9  Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law. Mal 2:10  Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? Mal 2:11  Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.

These Spiritual deceivers in outward appearance imitate God’s authority and ways. These Spiritual deceivers will incorporate some actual truth side-by-side with their message to give it the air of believability. They often accurately address our own personal issues of sin to fool us into believing the rest of what they say might be right. These Spiritual deceivers often reinterpret right worship as somehow being wrong worship as an early step towards establishing a greater false belief system. These Spiritual deceivers’ earthly greed is an indication of their spiritual greed. They think everyone is just like them. these Spiritual deceivers often start out right in life and believe that their earlier faithfulness still extends and covers their latter unfaithfulness. They often truly believe their authority derives from God because they have been given over fully to the deception themselves. Like King Saul, Balaam was in the old Testament, and many others now too…

The Third Wave church I went to went bankrupt and all the bad pastors had to look for a job elsewhere.. they were crooks, I had asked them to repent but they had refused..

(Acts 5:29 KJV) Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

We have to face life with the main goal of pleasing God firstly not anyone else, we are not men pleasers. and the fact the just shall live by faith in God, in all things, faith that God will protect us, look after us, we need to be more worried about how God see us, and what he thinks about us. So do you read your Bible daily to find out God’s instructions for you or do you easily still just do your own thing, that which is right in your own eyes. Beloved, because “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), as He was with Joseph, He is with you right now. And He will empower you to live the high life — the abundant life in which you will see God’s promises manifest! and not the lies of mere men

(Heb 10:38 KJV)  Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Real Christians do not beg for money they use their faith in God. We always live by faith in God… unless you are acting c…arnal or a Hireling.. My material is offered free all over the net.. Real Christians do not beg  others for money they use their faith in God

One giving lip service to God will still get you to hell even if you are a Jew or a professing Christian .   If you disobey the revealed will of God, are not  following God’s plan for your life, you can pray all you want, go to church every day, quote by faith all the Bible verses, gave all the money away you have too,  God will not hear you until you repent, change from your bad way, sin..

(1 Sam 15:23 KJV) For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

(2 Chr 33:6 KJV) And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Prov 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

MATTHEW 7: I Never Knew You
21    “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
22    Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
23    And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Matthew 13:41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,

Matthew 23:28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

Dec 29 (1 day ago)
Hi Walter:

If you look closely at what Jesus was saying to these people, it was not because they were actually doing what they said they were doing.  For instance, they called him “Lord” but they didn’t know Him as their Saviour and Lord.  They claimed that they cast demons out of people when, in fact, they did not but like the TAF & these ministries, they did not cast out demons but rather spread demons from one person to another.  They claimed that they had done many wonders in His Name, but in fact, they did not do any wonders.  We know this because when Jesus said, “I never knew you,” it means that they had no authority to do anything, just like so many are doing so today.  This is the reason why Paul wrote, “The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan will be with all the power and pretended signs and wonders and will be a wicked deception for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and be saved” (2 Thess. 2:  9 – 10).  Everything thing about these people is false:  false christs, false prophets (Matt. 24: 24; 2 Pet. 2: 3); false witnesses, false teachers (2 Pet. 2: 1), false brethren (Gal. 2: 4; 2 Cor. 11: 26).  Jesus was denying such people because they lied about doing ministry in His Name.

When Jesus said, “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness”, means that they did none of what they claimed, just as these false people are doing today.  They are the ones of whom Paul wrote, “holding the form of religion but denying the power thereof” (2 Tim. 3: 5).  We have to be careful not to give the impression that the false ministry that these people do is in any way approved by God or by the Scriptures.  “False” means “1.not accurate; not true; in error; incorrect; wrong; mistaken:  as a false argument. 2. untruthful; lying; dishonest: as a false witness; 3. disloyal; un faithful: as a false friend; 4. deceiving or meant to be deceive; misleading: as, a false scent. 5. not real; sham; artificial; counterfeit;” as defined in my Webster New World Dictionary.

To even suggest that there they are or were doing legitimate ministry is wrong.  Just because they make certain claims, like Benny Hinn when he gave 2 lists of people he claimed were healed in his ministry to ABC Network who contacted the people and discovered that nobody had been healed.  They put on a good entertainment performance because of the money that comes in.

They are not as smart as Simon the Magician who saw entertainment and the financial potential, when he saw Peter and John praying with people to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.  He said, “Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles hands, he offered them money, saying,’Give me this power, that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.’ But Peter said to him, ‘Your silver perish with  you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!  You have neither part or lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.  Repent therefore of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven.  For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity’ (Acts 8: 18 – 23).  These false preachers, teachers, apostles, prophets & evangelists need to do what Simon did.  He said, “Pray for me, to the Lord, that nothing of what you have said may come upon me” (Acts 8: 24).   Thanks to Peter, Simon the Magician repented.  This is a lesson that these false people need to learn.  They only have the form of religion but they do not have the power of the Holy Spirit.   The evidence piles up against them with the money and wasted spending on mansions & airplanes & yachts.  They have not learned what Jesus warned about, “You cannot serve God and Mammon” (Matt. 6: 24).  They outshine all others in their worship of Mammon.  They need to read James 5: 1 – 6.

The Third Wave Movement is a Pentecostal or Charismatic movement that began in the 1980s. It is sometimes called the “Third Wave of the Holy Spirit” or the “Signs and Wonders Movement.” The name “Third Wave” was coined by C. Peter Wagner, a professor at Fuller Theological Seminary. He referred to the movement as the “Third Wave” because this was the third of three distinct Pentecostal/Charismatic movements in modern Christianity. The first wave was the original Pentecostal Movement that began in the early 1900s with the teachings of Charles Parham followed by the Azusa Street Revival. The second wave then came in the 1960s with the Charismatic movement. In the Charismatic movement, Pentecostal doctrines, teachings and practices began to spread to non-Pentecostal churches and denominations. This wave brought increased popularity to the “Word of Faith” or “Name It and Claim It” false teachings that are still popular today.

Then, in the 1980s, another “movement of the Holy Spirit,” supposedly characterized by “signs and wonders,” began in the Vineyard Church with the teachings of Charles Wimber, Mike Bickle, C. Peter Wagner, Jack Deere, and others. Professor Wagner characterized this Third Wave as being “a new moving of the Holy Spirit among evangelicals who, for one reason or another, have chosen not to identify with either the Pentecostals or Charismatics.” Also known as the Neo-Charismatic Movement, this Third Wave of Pentecostal doctrine and excess became very popular and led to many aberrant teachings such as the Toronto Blessing and laughing in the Spirit.

In addition to highlighting some of the melodramatic practices of the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements, the Third Wave goes even further with its emphasis on the sensational, including claims of signs and wonders performed by “modern-day apostles and prophets.”

Key teachings of the Third Wave Movement include what is known as “power evangelism.” The basic premise of power evangelism is that the preaching of the gospel must be accompanied with signs and wonders in order for people to respond in faith. Proponents of this view have an unbalanced focus on miracles, speaking in tongues, healing and prophecy. They miss the fact that it is the gospel message itself that is the power of God to salvation (Romans 1). Third Wave proponents essentially deny the sufficiency of Scripture and believe that God is communicating directly though modern-day prophets and apostles. Therefore, they believe that God is giving new revelation today which undermines the sufficiency and authority of Scripture. The words of these “new apostles and prophets” become more important than the clear teaching of Scripture. As with all Pentecostal/Charismatic movements, personal experience plays a greater role for determining “truth” than does sound doctrine.

The Third Wave is yet another movement that is based on people’s experience rather than on sound doctrine. Proponents of the Third Wave Movement believed that it would bring forth end-time apostles and prophets to do greater miracles than were performed by Old Testament prophets or New Testament apostles. These “new apostles and prophets” were said to be greater than any prophet or apostle that had preceded them. This teaching has resulted in many false prophets coming out of Third Wave churches.

Since its beginning in the 1980s, the Third Wave Movement has sparked a large number of counterfeit revivals. As the movement evolved, unbiblical practices such as “laughing in the spirit” continued to get more and more bizarre. In recent years some Third Wave leaders and churches have begun to separate themselves from some of the more aberrant practices and are trying to move back to more traditional Charismatic practices. This Third Wave of Pentecostalism has left in its wake a history of false teachings and destructive practices. Many have been led astray.
