Message summary & scripture references

You may have heard that Pastor Benny Hinn said that the prosperity gospel has gone astray and the Holy Spirit is fed up with it. Is this true? In today’s message I am digging into this question and providing some insight from the Word.

Luke 6:38 KJV

[38] Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Deuteronomy 28:12-13 KJV

[12] The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
[13] And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 ESV

[6] The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
[7] Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Genesis 30:30-32 KJV

[30] For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
[31] And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock.
[32] I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.

Proverbs 8:12 KJV

[12] I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

2 Kings 4:7 KJV

[7] Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

1 Corinthians 9:11 KJV

[11] If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?

Proverbs 10:22 KJV

[22] The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Galatians 3:13-14 KJV

[13] Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
[14] That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
