This is part 5, the last video of this series. This last part features a different host and does not necessarily require you having to already have seen the previous 4 parts, to jump right in. Although I encourage you, to at some point see parts 1-4.

They well covered how many mishandle the line “By His stripes we are healed.”

John’s statement “in all respects you may prosper and be in good health” is addressed. Which was not even a promise to the church.

It was noted well, how evil men also perform miracles, healing and such. Who really are not saved, the Lord never knew them!

They also mentioned Paul speaking of a “thorn in the flesh” in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10. It was mentioned and many feel the “thorn” was some physical ailment and it’s even mentioned perhaps it was some sort of sin. I and some others feel, that this mention of a “thorn in the flesh” in scripture, directly correlates in Paul’s epistle, to Paul’s scriptural knowledge of passages such as Numbers 33:55. And so I feel this “thorn in the flesh” was an actual person, a person who was being used by Satan. Which God permitted, to help Paul understand that issues in this life for the Christian help us to grow in Christ. Regardless of what one feels the “thorn” was, we all agree, or should agree, that whatever trouble comes to a Christian, it is something the Lord willed for our ultimate good.

This episode went into more details about heretical statements from Pat Robertson. And keep in mind, Pat Robertson has more recently, openly denied the truth of the gospel that the Apostles preached to the Jews and told a Jewish man on camera a different gospel. So we know without any doubt, that Pat Robertson promotes another gospel, a heresy. Avoid Pat Robertson!

I also like how this episode took a little time to refute the false teachers, who toss out the “Greater than these” line. Mishandling John 14:12.

And one verse of scripture mentioned in the video to keep in mind, as a warning to never follow false prophets. I feel the King James Version provides the most comprehensive read of this passage of scripture.

Of course those who feel they are little gods would deny that God deceived someone, but the Word of God lets us know who is sovereign and why to avoid false prophets.

Of course if you have not already viewed them, please first view the following, or you’ll miss a good bit of where things pick up at in Part 3.

If the video ever pauses on its own, just advance it manually a little for it to get going again.

Notice in this episode, they note Pat Robertson making a heretical statement about being able to “demand” things. Over 15 years ago, Christians were refuting the same false teachers we see and hear in media today, with the Word of God. And thank God through Jesus Christ, that the material refuting false teachers is still available.

If you have not already viewed it, first view Agony of the Health & Wealth Gospel – Part 1, before viewing Part 2. Some things are covered in Part 2, that assume you’ve already viewed Part 1.

In the video, they don’t view Pat Robertson like some other false teachers they speak about. But keep in mind, this video was made before some more recent heretical statements and false prophesies made by Pat Robertson. And before Pat Robertson started hanging with some false teachers, that he hangs with today. At the 50 minute mark of this video, you can see Pat Robertson hanging with false teacher John Arnott of the Toronto Airport nut house. On Pat Robertson’s TV program this year, after the Toronto Airport mess, September 22nd. For more about John Arnott, see this post. And as I’ve mentioned before, Pat Robertson’s bunch was very much endorsing the Todd Bentley Lakeland circus on “Christian World News” broadcasts.

Christian Research Institute is mentioned, but the video was recorded not long after Walter Martin’s death and Hank Hanegraaff had recently become CRI President. That was way before more was known about Hanegraaff. Before things such as CRI Founder’s Family Publicly Denounces Hanegraaff and Final Dissolution of CRI/Hanegraaff vs Alnor, along with other things regarding Mr. Hanegraaff. I can say I don’t personally promote or recommend Hank’s group (not while he’s over it), program or books.

This is a good video related to the post: Beware Of The Word Of Faith, Health And Wealth, Total Life Prosperity And Increase, False Doctrines.

I especially felt it was good that they noted there heretical statements of Jimmy Swaggert. And I guess that’s because of the time the video was produced.
