Prosperity Preachers Debunked: Romans
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Prosperity preachers distort the message of the Bible and cause people to fall into all manner of harmful opinions. Romans 8 teaches us a better way to view hardship and suffering and how to have TRUE victory in life.

20 years ago during our street preeaching in my town of Zagreb, Croatia we had some foreigners in the audience... turned out it was President of Romania, Emil Constantinescu. After the preaching he approach us and we had a small talk via his translator. That year he left politics :)
Emil Constantinescu is the current president of the Association of Citizenship Education, of the Romanian Foundation for Democracy and also the founding president of the Institute for Regional Cooperation and Conflict Prevention (INCOR).
the Balkans are a range of mountains stretching east across Bulgaria from the Serbian frontier to the Black Sea. The highest point is Botev Peak (7,793 feet; 2,375 m).
the countries occupying the part of southeastern Europe lying south of the Danube and Sava Rivers, forming a peninsula bounded by the Adriatic and Ionian Seas in the west, the Aegean and Black Seas in the east, and the Mediterranean in the south.
One of the many verses that hit my heart was “How can I boast on what I have received?” As a physician, I have nothing to boast about. I was given a passion for how the body works, a need to help and be around people, a love of teaching, and the energy to perform. I was given parents who greatly valued a higher education, I was given an intellect to learn hard things, the perseverance to stick with a task, and common sense to put it all together. I have contributed nothing on my own. Thank you, Jesus.
Great statement! May I borrow to use for a sermon?
@@tungkolsamen3910 You bet!
You are right doc. Many blessings
Praise GOD for your humility.
Thank you for your service to the world on behalf of our LORD🤓
Prayers that more intellectuals see their success this -blessings to be counted 🙏🙏🙏
Such humility to be cherished and admired.
My wife was asked about Jesus being loving. She said to her friend, "He is always loving."
Her friend asked her, what about the time he fashioned a whip and drove the money changers from the temple.
My wife thought for a moment and responded, "That's Jesus showing tough love."
Amen!
He specifically said that they were changing his Father's house of prayer into a den of thieves. They were stealing from the people who came to pray, both the peace of those praying, and the cost of animals as sacrifices.
lil chris tuten And he STILL loved them enough to teach them a lesson 😋
Jesus was rebuking with passion for His Father's house. Righteous anger.
Also they were selling in the court of Gentiles, the only place in the temple that the Gentiles were allowed to come and worship God so by selling in the court of the Gentiles they were actually disrupting the Gentiles who were in the middle of worship and prayer
Mike is one of the few teachers I listen to. I love his honesty and the way he treats the scriptures with fear and awe. Now I can understand the scriptures and help explain it to my children. May God bless u And the family of God Who remain true.
Bro, gotta be honest, you can teach like a boss!
Well, the man has gone on record saying that teaching (or I guess exhorting if you’re going by new king James language) is his spiritual gift. So it would make sense that if the Holy Spirit is working through him, his teaching would be phenomenal.
@@blindvision4703 Qqq
I never leave comments on RUclips, but this video needs to go viral. Awesome teaching brother.
Just found this and putting it on my watch list for the week! Looks like I started it almost a year ago and didn't finish. I wasn't ready. But I've officially left the WoF movement now, and just reread Romans 8, which is pretty blatantly a rebuttal of WoF/prosperity. Looking forward to seeing how Mike looks into it.
It’s unbelievable how many people follow these false teachers, oh I know... they don’t read the Bible
Or they read the bible better than you.
I wouldn't get out of bed 2 walk across the street to see the prosperity preachers. No name it & claim it & blab it & grab it.
Ewald Radavich James Jacob Prasch...real good teacher too
@@Dee-sg4uq . Go to RUclips and type in Dr. Fred Tarsitano. You can start with the origin of the Roman catholic church. Also many other subjects
Mr Winger... Thank you for teaching us the word of God...you are truly refreshing..and i appreciate your study of the bible and how you love teaching! Teaching the true word of God seems rare these days. God bless you and your family.
38:00 ish is more or less where Mike gets into the proseprity Gospel
Watch the whole video. Dont just jump to the time stamp
Its important too understand the context of verses
Lovely message!! I live in OC, I’d like to go to your church, it’s not easy to find a biblical based Christian Church
Keep watching Mike and be built up i your Holy faith.
He is so grounded in truth.
I am watching from Australia and love his teaching.
I watch from London
Having come out of the faith movement I almost lost my faith, but Jesus in His mercy and grace brought me to a true Bible teaching church and healed my doubts and confusion. The Bible in context and the Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth. Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean NOT into your own understanding(feelings) and HE will guard your heart through Christ Jesus. Amen😊🕊
🌹Awesome testimony Kit Kat, i too am a survivor of that presumptuous (word of faith gospel?) movement. I was to the edge of throwing it all away, but it was the HS Himself who personally rescued me; quickening Job and 2 Cor. to my inner being - and thus saved me - even tho' i was later asked to leave a prominent Christian (X) commune, allegedly over an unspecified attitude - which i most certainly suffered under? But my faith also survived it and them - PRAISES BE LIFTED TO HIM!
We've idolised the gift of life over the giver of it. Our minds should not be focused on finding more money - but finding more of him. The desire to gain more money by giving money is a twisted mentality.
It's actually an expectation which God told us to have.
When we give for the glory of God then we should expect him to give what we have given back to us with increase.
The key is giving for the glory of God.
@Tow Laro
Well we don't just give a little, we give what he tells us to, which could be all that we have.
It's not like gambling because there is no chance of losing.
It may seem legalistic, because it is, it is a law that God himself put into place, we honor him with our obedience and we are blessed for it.
“Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death, between prosperity and disaster. For I command you this day to love the Lord your God and to keep his commands, decrees, and regulations by walking in his ways. If you do this, you will live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you and the land you are about to enter and occupy. “But if your heart turns away and you refuse to listen, and if you are drawn away to serve and worship other gods, then I warn you now that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live a long, good life in the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy. “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the Lord , you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Deuteronomy 30:15-20 NLT

The second half is so clear against everything I had learned from TBN, and other prosperity preachers.thank you!
You have a little more to learn. Mike has the leisure to make videos all day, instead of spending 16 hours plowing the Prairies behind a Mule. You his wife would be caring for your 17 children , and not be Watching You Tube. Wait a second...You Tube , the Internet : they are all the Inventions of PROSPERITY. So you and Mike are living the Dream, kicking back on the Internet instead of washing clothes on a rock near the river, and telling us the Prosperity message is a false one: that sounds totally ridiculous, Tammy.
Love is Never a Sin How about defending your faith biblically and explaining to her why you think she’s wrong by giving biblical examples. Instead, you just gave her a condescending answer based on hurt feelings and emotions.
@Love is Never a Sin- there is nothing wrong with prosperity: It’s prosperity preaching that is the problem. The gospel gives us so many non-financial gifts of the spirit but prosperity preaching turns God’s providence into a game of slots.
Thank you for this teaching! It is such a delight to hear someone who preaches Truth
I always struggle to know or accept that I am saved. I have a strong desire to please God and I have turned away from all my Idols and I daily walk always thinking of ways to please God and making sure I discern sin and turn away but I always question myself if I am saved. Grew up in a Christian house hold and was always doing the ceremonial acts of Christians until I believe I was saved two years ago, so thankful for that day... now I live in awe of GOD because I am learning his mercy on me. I grew up in a very strange doctrinal church that believes allot of weird things like, wearing jeans, wigs, makeup, earrings is a sin until I was saved, if I am. and started to read the Bible for myself and started to question allot of things, instead of answers I got called a Jehovah witness by my own mom multiple times because allot of things didn't make sense and I wouldn't believe them. allot of this makes no sense but Pray for me you guys, really want to believe I am saved with a 100% assurance.
Her Fear! How's this going for you? I've been struggling with this for a while now too. Any progress in your assurance?
Jesus is gracious. We should be gracious. Jesus is forgiving. We should be forgiving. Jesus gave us freely so we should give freely. Saved by grace live by grace. Amen pastor. A true follower of Jesus
How do we call out prosperity preachers as heretics but we call Calvinists our brothers?
Right? Calvinism is also heretical.
Thanks for the videos Mike, been learning a lot plus I'm very encouraged by it. Thank God for the wisdom shown and I pray for more fruit of the Spirit in your life. God bless.
+Temitope Ok praise God! And thank you for your prayers! I really appreciate it.
No plaid shirt? Just kidding. Great word Mike. Thank you for sharing and creating this video.
Man, I feel like Romans and 1st John, and the rest of the epistles were specifically written to debunk and pre-disprove heresies! ;) Romans got me out of Hebrew Roots, and now is Biblical evidence against WoF/prosperity G, which I’ve also left. During all these years, it’s the epistles I’ve read least... May I never let them go again.
Excellent Teaching, may God continue to bless your ministry.
When you were talking about people who are overly critical because they are overly critical of themselves, I think that is me. I look at myself and am not sure I am saved. Salvation is a Gift. I think too many people think that they already have it. Since it is a gift, why does everyone think they have received it? I get skeptical of so many people assuming that they are saved. Jesus said that very few people get in through the narrow gate. I think it is a dangerous place to assume we are on that road. There is too much "Don't worry... you are saved." I think we are supposed to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
Wow! This teaching was so encouraging and gives us the Biblical perspective which should lead us in the opposite direction of the prosperity gospel! Problem is, if people don’t read the Bible themselves as well study it for themselves, they can easily fail into these kinds of false teachings.
Anybody with good old common sense would know these snakes are frauds.Sadly they have a huge following and their churches are full and they live a millionaire lifestyle.Reprobate minds are the problem.Their churches should be empty - its all a circus of deception.Look at any videos on here of these fakes and its full of comments praising them !!!! something is very wrong.
'righteousness is what keeps love pure'
Love it!
You did not cover verses 38 & 39. Which include death or life, angels or demons, present or future, powers, height or depth, or any created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.✝️✝️💗💗📖📖
Thank you for being a teacher brave enough to teach the hard truths.
I am trying to encourage my pastor to do the same but he feels that God is the only one who should judge ( based on romans 14)
I have shown him scriptures that show how false teachers are to be exposed or judged as wicked but he says its not his job.
So thank you and may God bless your ministry with open hearts that willing to listen.
43:30 Is when it looks like he starts to talk about prosperity preachers.
Here is a(Prosperity Busting Silver Bullet Passage) Bible passage he uses 1st Timothy 6:5-8, "These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth. To them, A SHOW OF GODLINESS IS JUST A WAY TO BECOME WEALTHY.
Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. SO IF WE HAVE ENOUGH FOOD OR CLOTHING, LET US BE CONTENT."
I also like how he mentioned how Prosperity preachers do sort of a "bait n switch" where they present what God promised to the NATION of Israel in the Old Testament as if it were a promise to an individual then or now. This is especially a FALSE idea considering 11 of the 12 disciples were brutally murdered, additionally so was Paul the Apostle, and many of the early church leaders. God didn't bless them with a private jet to fly away from their problems. LOL
An additional verse I like to think upon when this topic comes up is when JESUS said, "Don't store up for yourself treasures on earth..... .....but treasures in heaven." Matthew 6:19-20
Wonder Woman puts up her bracelets, and nullifies your Silver bullet:
I Tim 6:17 - 19...Paul writes in the same letter advice to the Rich , and says they use their riches to lay hold on Eternal Life. What happened , Lone Ranger ??
This is in the Same Book.
@@lawandtheprophets7489 How does that relate to what the op said? Some people are rich...that's not a sign of God's blessing. The rich are supposed to use their wealth responsibly.
Really like your videos Mr Mike, referring my youth group to your channel.
It just amazes me the numbers of people who fall for what the prosperity guys sell. The give me money sow a seed and you may get some money to doctrine is so obviously false that it is amazing the numbers that believe it and give money.
The Internet you used to send that anti-Prosperity message, was invented by a Prosperous Country.
You sound like an idiot.
Reprobate minds are the fake preachers income.They do not like people with any knowledge or discernment.Its pious fraud - the laws should be tighter on all this and see them behind bars.Its a disgrace what they are doing.
I don't believe in giving it to the preachers to distribute it .my brother also does this,he sets aside a certain amount of money each month to give to people if true need.these people are people he meets throughout his day and when the moment feels right he will help them .he gives them the money and tells them that this money was debited to God so take this and return this grace to someone else when you can
No sure about loving others more than ourselves. I will say the teaching is to love others LIKE ourselves, not more and God above all else. This is a pretty important distinction.
Lol! "Doesn't your ministry need a jet?" That is hilarious! Great vid! Galatians is a great book too. It is so much needed today. The fruit of the spirit versus the acts of the flesh in chapter 5 should be a way to differentiate those that are christian apart from those that claim to be christian. As followers of Jesus we should
lovingly call out those bad behaviors and set them straight. We wish for none to perish and all to find salvation thru Christ.
I'm getting a lot out of your video presentation. I pray you don't stop.
Not just a conqueror. “MORE than a conqueror.” What comes after conquest? Ownership. Blessing.
I don't know you. And I haven't even finished watching this. But I wanted you to know. I mean you probably already know this but the people following Benny Hinn will call you a "religious spirit". I think that calling people who have different beliefs a certain spirit and then constantly preaching that that spirit is bad is cultic manipulation. Not everyone going into "Benny Hinn" type ministires start there. Most gradually get there through other ministries. It ruined my faith. Made me feel not saved because I was not healed. I don't go to any church. I don't know why I'm commenting. I just am. Thank You
Im not healed of spina bifida but i am saved. Its not to do with feelings. It is fact. If you accept Jesus as your Saviour you Are saved. Psalm 23 He restores my soul. - I love that. Be blessed by His peace that shows He loves you and can use you as you are.
Thank you for this message. Crying my eyes out.
Sometimes people are asking about love because they need it. They really need it. Many are deeply wounded and have no love to give. You cant give what you dont have. I'm referring to the church. We are to be a place of love and healing for the wounded, like the man you mentioned.
I so enjoy your videos. You’re a gifted teacher. God bless
Some people would rather be lied to than hear the truth!
Solid teaching, thank you
I LOVE YOU PASTOR MIKE!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
In vs 8:35-39, (what shall separate us...) Paul is talking about what will stop US from loving God and NOT what will prevent God from loving us. In context, we see that every item Paul mentions are things that discourage some people from loving God. It would be absurd to think that God would stop loving us because of our tribulations. Paul is saying that in view of God's great love for him, evidenced by everything God and Christ have done in v 31-34, etc., that there's nothing that will make Paul stop loving God. "Even though He slay me...." - that's Paul's faithfulness inspired by God's faithfulness. This is the fulfillment of Rom 1:17 "...from faith to faithfulness..."
Sin all you want and use grace as an excuse - you’re not saved

Hello! If anyone could please pray for me that God will have his will done in my life by any means necessary I would really appreciate it. I need prayer.
jay foges God Bless you! I will pray for you. God will reveal His purpose for you in your life! ❤️🙏
Scripture has the answer for your request. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Also, He Who has called you will perform it. This requires the believers to study the Word of God as approved by Him, seek His face and righteousness, be faithful to the Truth, endure to the end and be faithful even unto death.
These are a few things that helps you know that as you cooperate with God, God will continue to do in you the work that He began. Just love Him by getting to know His ways and His thoughts. Rest in Christ Jesus. It is not works that save you. Works we do after the New Birth is done for God.
May Gods will be done in your life
Also pray for it as well
If you don't like prosperity preachers, don't support them. Problem solved.....
You would be an awesome street preacher, but please video tape all things for me here in Texas! Love you💞
Very very good. Am learning so much. May God continue to bless you and yours. Thanks for another great bible study session
Fantastic message! I especially loved the ending. We have all we need if we are saved and following the Lord.
That message about the blessings of being poor is nonsense. When I was short on money, everyone avoided me, because they didn't want to help or get involved - No blessing in disguise there. That shouldn't be preached that way.
Imagine your mother throws you a birthday party baking you your favorite cake, inviting all your friends, decorating and getting a DJ and the whole nine yards - then the night before you do a horrible thing and you feel like a wretch (because you are) - and you take your dad aside before the party and say "I did a terrible thing; I'm not worthy to have a party - I'm just going to go away and be alone"
then your dad might say "you'll do no such thing - here's what you are going to do: you're going to go to the party your mother planned for you, eat the cake she made for you and enjoy the music she prepared for you - you don't feel worthy? well you're not - but it's not always about you; is it? we'll deal with what you did later but your mother worked hard for the joy of seeing you happy - who do you think you are to take that from her?"
you see, when God calls us righteous we don't have the right to say "but I don't feel righteous" - after everything that Jesus did to save you you don't have the right to deny him - He offers forgiveness of sin, adoption, justification, glorification, the Holy Spirit and you say "I don't feel worthy" - IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU! - after all He did, laying down His very life WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE to turn Him down?
confess and trust in Jesus you've no right to do otherwise
I really like your teaching but I totally disagree when I said if you take advantage of grace you not saved really what about backsliding JESUS loving people in the Bible who had some bad sins ? Where they not saved ? Of coarse they were and GOd chastised them Hebrews 12:6 for whom the LORD loveth he chastised, and scored every son whom he receiveth, can you answer for me because GOD knows who saved not you , you have to be careful because you don’t know what GOD is doing in that persons life sir ,,,,
You don't have to like his anti-prosperity teaching , either: it is just as bad - more of the same.
Only one door keeper.
John 14:6 👑
The Bible clearly states that if we believe and receive the Lord we are begotten of God (John 1:12-13). After the Lord's resurrection, He became the firstborn among many brothers. We can with all boldness state that as born-again Christians we have God's life and nature, but obviously, we are not God; we are not an object of worship, nor are we omniscient, omnipotent, or omnipresent. We are members of the Body of Christ. He lives in us and we are in a process of transformation that starts with the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2). We must grow in the divine life within us: Christ must be wrought in us (Galatians 4:19); Christ must make His home in our hearts; we must no longer live our natural life but Christ must live His life in us (Galatians 2:20). This is the normal maturity in life that we must embrace. We must realize that the heavens rule and God is in complete control of our lives. All things work together for good for us when we realize that the good is for God to accomplish His longing and His desire, to have a bride that has made herself ready for Him. The Bible is a divine and mystical romance that is being lived out today in the heart of every Christian. The Lord is a gentleman courting each one of us, waiting for us to give ourselves fully to Him, to live by the divine life in us, and magnify Him in whatever circumstances we may find ourselves in. Yes, Athanasius was right in saying that God became man so that man may become God. He is not with us to add the phrase: become God in life and nature but not in the Godhead. How can God marry someone that does not have His life and nature and was created in His image and likeness? No, we were not adopted. We are the children of God. We have His life and nature. The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are the children of God (Romans 8:16)

That’s why people reject Christianity. Same Bible, same HS to interpret, different answers, which totally contradicts the inerrancy doctrine of Christianity, which contradicts the apologist, Mike Winger, which means no one knows what the Bible means, which means Christianity is just like every other world religion. Please refute what I’m saying based on the truth of Resurrection, which we will then refute with the deception the Church uses to attempt to prove the Resurrection, i.e. the alleged deaths of the Apostles as martyrs.
Sorry man, seems you might not be considering what an elohim is in its ancient context when it comes that we become gods, and no we will not become Superman, exalted humans,NO. Not that we become YHWH, that will never be the case, but the fact that Spiritual Beings are Elohim, Supernatural Beings are Elohim, Desimbodied Human Spirits are Elohim, as the term god is used in these types of beings (not from our nature), but yes, we become sons of God the term is taken from the OT and in its ancient context, the real dispensation is on the gods, the children that disobeyed and selected to embrace their own worship and exaltation are the ones being displaced... yes we become the new family who's in higher heriarchy than angels, yes we become gods in the ancient term of what a god is, that we become spiritual beings whatever the supernatural nature/substancr of what the resurrected body of Yeshua was, that's what we are getting.
For further review on what I just said you can check Unseen Realm and Reversing Hermon from Dr. Michael Heiser. Kind Regards.
Hey Pastor Mike, I understand giving to get is just greed and greed is wrong, but what about Luke 6:38 that talks about you giving and being giving to in return? You said that when you give, you have less of what you give, but that's not what the Bible appears to be saying there. It said you give, and you have a good measure giving back to you. God bless you for your ministry. I just started following you and I've been blessed so far.

Always good to hear how you explain the word like this. Really brings joy to my heart.. It just makes me realise that I have been understanding the word correctly(for the most part) and that older guys can be teaching the wrong thing(like that is a real thing)🙌🏽. So essentially I'm not crazy😅🤦🏽♀️
One of the Greatest keys to Heaven is reading scripture for yourself. An honest translation in your language.Thus, giving the Holy Spirit The Word to work within your life.
Reading & studying the Bible is how we renew our minds.
These teachers are truly false teachers and should be sternly rebuked. But, those that sit under their ministry are to blame as well because of their Biblical illiteracy. As Dr. Frank Thompson said in the New Chain Reference Bible that “Many Christians are satisfied to receive all their truth filtered through the mind of some teacher, minister or commentator, seldom, or never go the Book of Books for independent study. They inevitably become mere echoes of the opinions of others; they are not ‘grounded in the truth,’ hence they are liable to be ‘carried about with every wind of doctrine.’”
Mike Winger, if you knew the Bible, you would know that God not only delights when His people prosper, but He gives us the power to prosper.
You said we should be like Jesus, if you knew the Bible, you would know that Jesus was rich, He wore designer clothes, why do you think they cast lots for His clothes.
He has a treasurer which means He gad treasury He gave to the poor.
Jesus became poor on the cross so just like He saved and healed us by His sacred, He took our poverty so we can be rich.
Why don't you keep to the title of your message instead of babbling on about things that have nothing to do with your message.
If you ever get smartly dressed for God, instead of being scruffy like you are, and if you ever respect God by dressing smart, God will reveal the Biblical truths to you.
People who fall for it deserve it because if they love Jesus they will just know? That is not nice at all. Some people don’t know. We didn’t know. It was something we grew up in. It took time to see that it wasn’t right. Sometimes I feel like you should have a bit more grace for those who may be blinded. Please do more self reflection and ask God to help you be more understanding.
I'm listening to the part where you criticize forgiving yourself. God is the only one who can forgive your guilt before Him and free you from punishment in hell. But we have to forgive people who have done some wrong which has harmed us. Sometimes, the person who has harmed us is ourselves with our own sin. That is when, for our own mental health, we need to forgive ourselves for the harm we have done to ourselves.
How ironic when this video came up to play after another one the first add is a pastor, Jim Baker (not the original one) is peddling his teaching on God wanting all to be financially wealthy and Jim wants to teach you how to get rich! A perfect God thing? 😂
I am that person you talked about. Judging others and then myself time and time again. 😭 I'm so exhausted of this. But can't seem to break the cycle.
If is like saved and is pushing to be like Jesus in character and nature then doing good things to help others shouldn’t be a work. But out a genuine compassion and care/love for the less fortunate. Giving and helping should almost be second nature and out of a pure heart. Not something they use to justify themselves before the throne of God or use to justify salvation. And anyone who gives or does “good works” to the less fortunate but considers themselves to superior and thinks to themselves “I’m a good person for helping this inferior man who can’t take care of himself” has a Darkened heart that does not represent Christ because they base peoples value off of materialism rather then seeing us all the same as sinners who are all evil in need of our saver in Jesus Christ
To be righteous AND loving. Great concept!!
oh wow, i need to hear this. i still owe you the research on gay people (very sorry still haven't delievered), but this video really deals with something right in front of me.
I wanted to hear this, but I hate 50 minute sermons - they're inconsiderate and self indulgent.
If you can't state your aims in a sentence then your aims are too diverse, and if you can't then show it from Scripture in 20 minutes you're waffling.
We lay up treasures in heaven not on earth.
Thank you...so helpful ❤️
Much appreciated.
I believe the quote "preach the gospel at all times and if necessary, use words" is attributed to Francis of Assisi.
Fantastic word! So necessary today!
The woman caught in adultery isn't even in the original as far as we know....
🔥 this is one of my favorite teachings from you.
It's a real testament to the character of pastor Winger that he's too busy telling the truth of the scripture to spend more than a few minutes talking about those who have it wrong.
Love that! The name it and claim it crowd are correct but their timing is off! The promises are eternal, not for now!!

Jesus said that everyone who has left home...wives...children ...for the gospel's sake, shall receive In This Life a Hundredfold blessing of houses, mothers, ...
@@loveisneverasin9092
One thing he did not include in the list of what we will receive 100 fold is wives(spouses).
And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will inherit eternal life.

What does the Bible say about divorced man who re marries yet is part of the church ministry?

I love these videos, but I want to encourage you to not be satisfied with just RUclips videos, but get out there and preach the gospel, get face to face with an unbeliever. It is the most satisfying thing, having God use you to lead someone to the faith and then walk with them and see them grow into a solid Christian. If you want I’ll go with you lol not just street preaching but one on one encounters.
Much love, I appreciate your ministry
46:10 “People who fall for it deserve it”. Oh really? Because people can’t be desperate and believe (wrongly) that what they’re doing is godly? Again, it’s obviously wrong but it feels a lot like victim blaming. I thought better of you, Mike.
I think you misunderstood the intent of what Mike was saying. The willfully ignorant deserve the repercussions that follow, is that a fair statement?
Wonderful teaching. Thank you. We all need to hear this.
Mike, I agree with almost all that you said, I’m not under prosperity teaching. In fact, God rescued me from a church like that. I think you missed the fact that prosperity in the eyes of God is not financial and it is His will for us to prosper. When we go through tribulation it may be the enemy trying to bring us down and there is a place for contending against and resisting the devil in such cases. The way you explained it invited people to just accept whatever life brings rather than contend for their situation. Look forward to comments.
Prosperity (the Hebrew word shalom) means having nothing missing, nothing broken, nothing lacking.
It is physical, emotional, financial, social, and spiritual.
I have been a Christian for nearly 30 years. I have heard this scripture taught over and over again. I have taught it myself many times. For some reason tonight as I listened it dawned on me: "MORE THAN". Not we are conquerors. Not we are super conquerors. Not we conquer better than anything else similar. In fact I would suggest we are NOT conquerors when we are under the sword. But we are more than. Conquerors is not our vocabulary. Don't compare yourself to a phoenix rising from the ashes. We are sheep considered to be slain. Which is better than being a conqueror. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Being a conqueror is about self, which we can't do this on our own. Kill me, but you can't stop God loving me or raising me up to glory on the last day. All praise to Him.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings.
I'm not sure why they translated it to conqueror, but the greek word means overcomer, the word translated "more than conquerors" means super overcomer.
That was an awesome rambling.
Loved it
hi mike, I've been listening to this Romans series as I read through Romans. I imagine you're pretty busy, and I so appreciate you youtubing (is that a word?) this. if you can, at about 34:00 minute mark where you talk about forgiveness which only God can give me, as He is my only judge, and so I don't need to judge/forgive myself, i'm confused about why I would need to forgive others, because that too would require judging? Or is that because God forgave me, so I am to not judge but simply forgive others? thanks, whether you are able to answer this or not : )
Idk, there have been times in my life where I was at my wit's end. Joel Osteen's preaching was so helpful in reminding me that the Lord is with me and in me. I was able to get thru hard times listening to his uplifting words he preached thru Jesus. Him and Joseph Prince. I know you didn't name them but I know ppl who bash them for being too "positive".
@Craig Laycox
If he finds supposedly apostate preacher's messages more inspiring than Mike's teachings, What does that tell you about Mike Winger's spirituality. Apostate men grow dark and ugly, not bright and uplifting. Mike is closer to the darkness of that message.
@Craig Laycox
Now you call an uplifting message a Problem. That is why the downtrodden and discouraged avoid anti - prosperity preacher's.
Here is an illustration: I went out horseback riding with my girlfriend. At the stream we unpacked the Picnic lunch from her horse...got the blanket and bottle of wine from mine, and she set up luncheon while I led the horses to the stream. After a wonderful roasted chicken and Cabernet, she laid back on the blanket, and with the Sunlight flickering in her eyes through the shade tree leaves, I took off her cowgirl boots and started to Tickle her body. She wasn't complaining. I folded back her Western Shirt , poured some honey over her belly, and used my tongue to get it out of her Bellybutton. Then I rested her head on my jeans, and used the fuzzy wildflowers I picked nearby to rub on her nose and cheeks and lips : and Tickled her ears.
She's never complained about getting some warm and fuzzies that day.
@Craig Laycox there isn't anything wrong with prosperity preaching as long as the msg aligns itself with the Gospel of Jesus. There are many downtrodden believers out there that need to hear the msg of hope and Grace. And there are downtrodden unbelievers out there that need to hear the msg of salvation and grace. You never know who's out there at their wit's end. They need compassion and love.
@Craig Laycox I think your meaning of prosperity might be different from what I'm talking about. Also, your using the scripture out of context. The reason why the rich man couldn't inherit the kingdom of God was because money was his Lord and he didn't want to let go of it. Jesus didn't mean because you have money you wouldn't inherit the kingdom. For the rich man, this was a Heart issue and the relationship he had with money not a money or prosperity issue that he needed to work out with the Lord.
@Craig Laycox also, calm down dude...if your claiming to be a Christian, relax, I believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior and I assume that you do too. I believe no one can go the Father except through Jesus and I'm assuming you do too. I believe it with all my heart. I mean, there's nothing wrong in having a dialogue about doctrine and the Bible but if you believe the same as I do, you should be rejoice that I'm your brother in Christ.
I wonder if Benny Hinn ever gives so he can get MORE money?
Thank you, Mike. Fantastic study . . . as ever
Just relax and love each other as we are directed and God will give us all we ever need.
Salvation by Faith
Maintaining by Works
The Bible talks about “clouds” going up and down with people going in and out (Exodus 24:18 - Moses entered the cloud). Clouds do not make those movements described in the Bible, but spaceships do. Jesus ascended in a “cloud” (Acts 1:9). God rides in a “cloud” (Isaiah 19:1, Psalm 104:3). Jesus will come back “with” the “clouds” (Mat 26:64, Rev 1:7). Jesus will come back commanding a fleet of starships. The church will be raptured “in” the “clouds” (I Thess. 4:17). Spaceships will be used to rapture the church. The ancient did not have vocabulary or knowledge to understand what they saw so they called the flying objects “clouds”, “chariots”, and “pillars”, because were the words they had to describe something flying in the sky. The Bible even tells in Psalm 68:17 how many spaceships are in the fleet “The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands” (about 20,000). There is a good research done by Patrick Cooke called “The Great Deception - The Bible UFO Connection” which has the original words describing spaceships. It is all over the Bible. Jesus is real. He is the savior of the world, but He is not seating in a puffy cloud. He is commanding a powerful army, which will take control of our planet and stop all wars. The Jews had contact with beings from another planetary system called The Elohim, commanded by The Most High God. The Elohim had to have a special covenant with humans to be able to save our planet from destruction. They got the agreement with the Jews, but the Jews were not faithful to the agreement so The Most High God sent Jesus to make a new covenant and have legal rights to save our planet from destruction. The Jews made a covenant with beings from another planetary system. Psalm 82:1-6 says that God presides over a great assembly. Something like a federation of planets. If you want to confirm what I am saying just look at a painting made in 1710 by someone that had access to the secret archives of the Vatican. Look at the paint " The Baptism of Christ" by Aert de Gelder. Now that we know more about science, we can understand the descriptions in the Bible. They described high technology but didn't have words to express. When they saw spaceships with strong lights they called "glory”. The "glory" of God was a spaceship with lights. In the interplanetary law the price to save us was innocent blood. That is why Jesus had to die for us. He was fulfilling a legal requirement.
Was once asked to teach a lesson on the needs of the persecuted church--- need prayer---for strength to go through it ; to be witnesses; and to hold fast to their fath ( and that God would take away if / when His will)-- afterwards talked to the people who had been there-- only thing they seemed to hear was that God needed to take it away!
Not know how the strike through got there!!! But is the whole statement! Stupid Google
If your natural father wants you to prosper, MAKE sense that YOUR heavenly father wants eve better for you.When God created heaven it was perfect in every way,plenty of food,& healh and beauty.When we sin,that when we lost the privilege. But according to the bible, jesus came to restore our relationship with THE father, therefore, &pay for our sins,so now in the eyes of God we are like Adam before the fall ,all the blessings belpng to us now.Ok Jesus:said we will havr tribulations that's part of the package.The tribulations come from satan and his demons, not from our heavenly father
.gal 3:13_Christ redeem us from the curse of the law by becoming a CURSE FOR you so.....
The blessings of Abraham might come to the gentiles trough Christ JESUS. Duet 28,tell you what the blessings and the curses are,beside from your experience with heavenly father, you know he is a good God.
read this chapter over and over....................
