Success,
Sorcery and Prosperity Gospel Dangers
A closer look at Quantum Faith, Positivism, Mind Power, Law of Success, Positive Confession, Creative Force, and Money Preachers
What is a successful Christian ministry? Does it include false teaching, making merchandise of people, and invoking occult powers in the name of "Jesus"? Are Christians really called to "create your own reality" and "name it and claim it" and "write your own ticket with God"?
This instructive biblical seminar
explains the dangers of Old/New Age occult practices
masquerading as the Word of Faith movement, otherwise known as the
Prosperity Gospel. It also soberly clarifies God’s condemnation
upon all occult practices, including those that are hijacked from
the world of the occult and “Christianized.”
