Article 13 of the statement responds to the issue of overreaching claims of authorities made by leaders within the prosperity circle. This overreach goes hand in hand with leaders' rejection of any accountability in their positions of oversight in the church. What is the extent of an elder's authority over Christians in the church? How can we know whether this leader really has our best interest at heart or not? Consider these things in another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's Word.

Article 12 discusses correct perspective on biblical training of the Christian's mind and emotions, while denying the practice within prosperity theology of "positive mental imaging" to manifest the realities people desire in their life. What are God's commands to Christians for how to train our thinking? Why is this so essential for early Christian life and for maturing in the faith? Do I really have control over my future through what I think about? Consider these questions and more in another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's Word.

Article 11 of the statement addresses the misuse and misunderstanding of faith in prosperity theology. In the teaching of these churches, faith is described as something believers can use to obtain whatever circumstances they wish and to eliminate any experience they don't desire in their life. Often, when people fail to obtain healing, material wealth, or whatever they may be praying for, they are told they "don't have enough faith." This leads to all kinds of frustration and discouragement for those who are genuinely seeking answers from God and his intervention in their life. What does the Bible describe about true faith and where has prosperity theology demonstrated it actually knows nothing of genuine faith?

Article 10 responds to the overreaching assertions made by some false teachers that because people are made in God's image, and because they are adopted as children of God, believers have somehow become "little gods." This seems to come from a motive to support the claim that believers have the authority to "speak or declare things into existence." Is this assertion about a believer's deity coming from scripture or rather a very ungodly pattern of thinking and behavior?

Article 9 of the statement addresses the teaching of prosperity preachers that believers can "manifest their reality" through the words that they use. The idea is that whatever circumstances a believers wishes to experience, he must simply begin a pattern of speaking those things "into existence" by referencing them and avoiding words to that declare a contrary reality. Is it really biblical to think Christians have been give the power and authority to speak their reality into existence? What things does scripture warn us about the power of our tongues? Consider these things in another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's Word.

Article 8 of this statement confronts the corrupt instructions and motives on Christian giving prevalent in the prosperity theology circles. Even a shallow examination of these groups will reveal a cycle of encouraging people to give so they can receive what they want from God. And these "gift/investments" that people bring wind up in the pockets of those promising God's blessing for giving them. What does the Bible say that helps us to understand correct Christian giving and where these "prosperity" promises reveal a completely false worship? Find out in another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's Word.

Article 7 responds to prosperity theology's mishandling and misrepresenting God's predictions of suffering in the Christian life. What does the Bible say a believer can expect will happen when he or she truly follows Christ? And how does the experience of the church throughout its history, and our own experience today, inform us about these realities? Consider these things in another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's Word.

Article 6 of this statement responds to teaching within the church that places, locations, and certain "anointed altars" still play a part in correct worship practiced by believers. Is it true that Christians are supposed to pray in certain places, or that God hears us better when we pray from a certain location? What are the things that God does explain hinder us from being able to offer true worship to him? Consider these things in another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's Word.

Article 5 deals with the popular misconception of "generational curses" - the idea that I can be saved and yet still experience God's judgment in my life due to the sins of my ancestors. What does the Bible have to say about this concept and how has Jesus redeemed us from every curse of the law? Find out in another study of transforming our thinking through the power of God's Word.

Article 4 of the statement responds to the common practice of prosperity preachers to apply promises given to individuals or Israel in the covenant of the law to believers today. A very common example of this comes from Deuteronomy 6 where God predicted the Israelites would take possession of vineyards they didn't plant and houses they didn't build. Is it appropriate to understand these promises as applying to us today? What underlying motive might lead someone to such a conclusion? Consider these things in another episode of transforming our thinking through the power of God's Word.
