“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” ~ Matthew 7:11
Our enemy the devil is well aware that the moment you learn to receive God’s grace, you will start to reign in life. So he has been working hard to prevent you from receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness.
The devil has been using controversy as a device down through church history to prevent believers from having access to the most powerful truths of God. He has built fences of controversy around healing, prosperity, and grace (calling them heresies) to keep believers from reigning over sickness, poverty, and sin. You can always tell how powerful a truth is by the number of controversies the devil surrounds it with!
Please pay close attention to what I am saying. Not all controversies are based on the truth of God’s Word. We have to test everything against what the Bible says.
Nevertheless, controversy is a tool that the devil uses to prevent God’s people from accessing His truths. The enemy is a crafty liar and deceitful thief, so we have to base what we believe on the Scriptures and test everything against it. If you want to know the truth about God’s grace, study His Word yourself and see what it has to say about grace!
Pastor, are you one of those “prosperity gospel” preachers?
My friend, there is no such thing as a “prosperity gospel.” There is only one gospel in the Bible—the gospel of Jesus Christ.
However, when you believe the gospel of Jesus, which is based entirely on His grace, it will result in health and abundance of provision. In fact, the gospel of Jesus Christ leads to blessings, success, healing, restoration, protection, financial breakthroughs, security, peace, wholeness, and much more!
God blesses you not because you are good, but because He is good. It is based on His faithfulness and goodness toward you. It is not contingent on your performance, but on His undeserved favor.
If it were contingent on how good you are, then it would no longer be grace but the law. It would be deserved favor. This is the difference between the old covenant of law and the new covenant of grace:
Law is deserved favor—When you obey the commandments perfectly, you will be blessed.
Grace is undeserved favor—Jesus obeyed God perfectly, and you will be blessed by believing in Him.
My friend, which covenant are you under today? Law or grace? Deserved favor or undeserved favor? How do you see God—as your Judge or loving Father? If you think that being blessed by God today is dependent on your doing, your ability to keep the law, and your ability to make yourself righteous, I ask you to test your understanding of grace against the Scriptures.
Read today’s scripture again and open your heart to what it says about God and His grace toward you: God is your loving Father in heaven who loves you and has nothing but good gifts for you. He sent His Son to die for you so that you can enjoy every one of these good gifts. Today, receive His abundant grace!

Re: How Do You See God?
Christ didn't die for to me enjoy my gifts. He died to save me from the fire of hell. He didn't die to give me health, wealth or any other carnal desire of my heart, but to give me the imputed righteousness of Christ. For this loving Almighty God will banish you to the flames of hell forever, if you don't believe and repent of your sins.

The mere fact that we believe in Jesus Christ, is due to His grace towards us - we can't even do that on our own.God blesses you not because you are good, but because He is good. It is based on His faithfulness and goodness toward you. It is not contingent on your performance, but on His undeserved favor.
Amen.
God is your loving Father in heaven who loves you and has nothing but good gifts for you. He sent His Son to die for you so that you can enjoy every one of these good gifts. Today, receive His abundant grace!

Here lies the deception, none of this is biblical truth. (That we are blessed goes without saying). Christ promised tribulation in this world. The gospel is Christ crucified for our sins, that's the good news. Nothing of the other wishy washy man doctrine!

Hebr 11:
29Deur die geloof het hulle die Rooi See deurgegaan soos oor droë grond, terwyl die Egiptenaars, toe hulle dit probeer, verdrink het.
30Deur die geloof het die mure van Jérigo geval nadat daar sewe dae lank omheen getrek was.
31Deur die geloof het Ragab, die hoer, nie saam met die ongehoorsames omgekom nie, omdat sy die spioene in vrede ontvang het.
32En wat sal ek nog meer sê? Want die tyd sal my ontbreek as ek van Gídeon, Barak en Simson en Jefta, Dawid en Samuel en die profete sou verhaal,
33wat deur die geloof koninkryke oorweldig het, geregtigheid uitgeoefen, beloftes verkry, bekke van leeus toegestop,
34die krag van vuur uitgeblus, die skerpte van die swaard ontvlug, krag uit swakheid ontvang het, dapper gewees het in die oorlog, leërs van vreemdes op die vlug gedryf het.
35Vroue het hulle dode deur opstanding teruggekry, en ander is gefolter en wou geen bevryding aanneem nie, om 'n beter opstanding te kan verkry.
36Ander weer het die proef van bespottinge en géselinge deurstaan, ook van boeie en gevangenis.
37Hulle is gestenig, in stukke gesaag, versoek, deur die swaard vermoor. Hulle het rondgeloop in skaapvelle en in bokvelle; hulle het gebrek gely, hulle is verdruk, mishandel —
38die wêreld was hulle nie werd nie — hulle het in woestyne rondgedwaal en op berge en in spelonke en skeure in die grond.
39En alhoewel hulle almal deur die geloof getuienis ontvang het, het hulle die belofte nie verkry nie,
40omdat God iets beters oor ons beskik het, sodat hulle nie sonder ons
volmaak sou word nie.

Romans 8:1 Therefor there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
8:2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of death and sin.
8:38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
8:39 neither height or depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be abl to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Vir diegene wat wil moeite doen om die konteks van 'signs, miracles and healings' in Bybel te verstaan beveel ek aan om na Strange Fire Conference te kyk/luister. Dis beskikbaar op Youtube.
Was gereël deur Grace-to-You / John MacArthur.
Geen twyfel dat God kan genees nie, maar siekte hartseer en dood is deel van hierdie lewe en aarde.
Geen hedendaagse 'apostel' of 'profeet' is daardie mag gegee nie.
Gaan lees maar die expose oor Benny Hinn se 10 'Best Healings'.
Matt7:21-23 is ernstige waarskuwing in hierdie verband.
Geloof in Jesus word bewys as jy Sy pad stap, d.i. 'obey'.
Geseënde dag vir almal
