The Prophetic Cry

The Kingdom of God- Episode 3: Poverty and Prosperity: The Influence of Word of Faith

The Word of Faith/Prosperity Gospel is a Gnostic “manifesting” of the American ideal: prosperity, health, wealth, and power for its own sake. It takes elements of the truth that God protects and provides and makes these things the focus of Christian life. The people that preach this heresy desire power, wealth, and status. They have enormous influence on the current administration and help create a petri dish of bad elements. We trace the rise of Word of Faith's non-Christian origins from the mid-20th century to the present, and how this theology intersects with Trumpism.

Kingdom of God Part 2 – Caesar or Christ?

When people use the word "Christianity" what type of Christianity do they mean? Is it the form that tries to dominate the world by force like Caesar, or is it the type that preaches a Gospel of the Crucified Savior who loves His creation? We explore the differences and how they play into the Dominionist version that wields tremendous influence on the current administration. We will also trace back the rise of Dominionism through R.J. Rushdoony, The Latter Rain Movement, and the current New Apostolic Reformation.
