And this is why money is in the hands of the greedy because we have people preaching to others that being wealthy is evil, if you guard your heart a seek for the lord to bless you financially to help others and make a change in your community or even the world and not for your own selfish desires He will do so so many people have this twisted view that humbleness means poverty and rich means greed WRONG a heart it’s what’s speaks for the person So we’re going to ignore all the men of power that were risen up in the Bible whom God blessed with with riches ? Imagine how what the world would look like if most millionaires were Christian’s lead by God and came together to change the world with the resources of wealth that God blessed them with And this is why we are poor because we limit ourselves instead ask God to train your hearts to not be greedy and use wealth as a tool to help the world You can be rich and only satisfy your desires yes this is evil, but you can loan Gods riches and use it as a tool for good don’t be fooled and don’t limit yourself cause of other men’s insecurities towards money Gods plans for everyone is to see them prosper in EVERYTHING including financially If you haven’t been blessed financially you’re either limiting yourself by having a distorted view towards money, or your not putting the work in which in both situations we must ask God for guidance

True
Comment from : Jeff Bither

This gentleman is lost, most preachers who say this have never tasted true poverty neither have they studied scripture accurately Deut 28 lists the blessings and curses of the law, and poverty is among the curses of breaking the law together with sicknesses In the blessings, prosperity and having plenty of goods is the first one listed and it is very emphasized

To much of anything kills, you need to find the right balance
Comment from : SoupThaGoat

Hmm I don't know if I can trust a man who has a net worth of $20 million and preaches that wealth is a curse Sounds like he's contradicting himself
Comment from : Joseph Curtis-Hamilton

Say that to Job😂😂
Comment from : Mr Nice Guy

Wealth is SIN! It’s not a blessing or test or whatever people say Epistle of James made it so clear that wealth is a result of labor exploitation You can justify however you make your money but at the end of the day rich people are rich because of the relative affordability created by cheap labor Money is the root of all evil
Comment from : Arnold Milas

When you are wealthy, you can be a blessing to other people Just because someone is rich, it doesn't make them a bad person It's about your attitude towards it and what you do with it
Comment from : debbie baldus

The thought of being “cursed” with wealth appeals just for the flexibility it can give one in life If I just had Piper’s money that would be a great start
Comment from : Hank Fuddle

Just not a curse for John Piper… I guess he’s just built different 😮
Comment from : The Drizzle Factory

I would challenge anyone who is listening to this, to look up Myron Golden how to put a camel through the eye of a needle This verse has been horrifically taken out of context, and I agree with the Man I mention teachings on it that Jesus was prescribing an individual prescription, not a universal principle, because of the man’s pride and arrogance that he had kept the law from his youth he was basically revealing, he was not as good as he thought, and was in need of Christ Hence he went away, sorrowful
Comment from : Music City Productions

James Parker if we’re living now but passed away last year He would have said send Junior and Cecelia the rest of their money that is due to his death and for his family 🙏🏽amen

I'm not a Calvinist but good preaching!
Comment from : Richard James

That Timothy verse he quoted is speaking about clergy You needs to put it in context
Comment from : Tontow Toronto

JESUS said the root if all evil is moneybrbrbrbr Camels don't and can't walk through eyes of needles
Comment from : Lottie Gilbert

The point here is the LOVE of money Is to SERVE the money Is to be under the CONTROL of money Is to have money as your MASTER And that is always the case, with few exceptions So we must be advised and search our hearts honestly
Comment from : Marlos Cael

Doesn't make sense God give you free will
Comment from : Naje Papers

Jesus had a treasurer Poor people don't have treasurers since they have nothing to manage brEvery time Israel was bad, their punishment was poverty, but whenever they served God, their reward was wealth such as homes, abundant food and many heards of animals brIf wealth is bad why would God give them all these things when they were good and take them away when they were bad? What is bad is putting our trust in money But money is meant to be free flowing, coming and going brI love watching Myron Golden on YouTube since he speaks from the bible regarding wealth
Comment from : Abdie A

Respectfully speaking, I totally disagree with you man of God! Wealth is not the problem It's the heart of the person who has the wealth brbrThe greatest weapon the enemy is using against the church these last days is that of financial difficulty, struggle and poverty brbrWealth is a tool for kingdom advancement
Comment from : ALI ALI PASCAL

Those not allowed to Work are cursed and the working Rich get there rewards the balance is off
Comment from : Infinite Quest

If money is so evil the church should stop asking for tithes this is also coming from someone who grew up a very faithful tither and loves giving to the Lord Do you know how many times I've heard that a ministry shut down because they didn't have money do you know how much suffering is in our world because certain people groups don't have enough money if it's so evil and such a curse how come the lack of it brings so many horrible things Money is a tool We need to love people and use money not love money and use people Use the money to serve people
Comment from : Isaiah Harris

Comment from : Inna DeFrees

Some tithe there way out Yes, give more Thought about being content with what you do have Might work Better to be poor and content that rich and crazy Check proverbs for more on that onebrPrayers of patience for youbrAmen
Comment from : Angelo Fretto

While I don’t believe that wealth in and of itself is necessarily a curse, it makes it a lot harder to keep your pursuits focused on things of eternity, and not the things of this world It’s says, “THE love of money,” not money itself If stewarded with the wisdom of Christ, wealth can absolutely be used appropriately
Comment from : Ashlen

Good message Is this sermon available online entirely?brbrI have thoroughly searched both the DG site and YouTube without any luckbrbrThis snippet was uploaded in May 2013 and usually DG adds a link in the description to the full message but did not for this clipbrbrThanks in advance

Comment from : Star RockStar

Its like this, this is how I see it God can best be seen in nature Evil and satan, prince of this world, can best be seen in worldly pursuits, the system, cities, an utter perversion of the natural creation In biblical times, wealth and abundance was more fair and easy to come by, nature would multiply for you, your cattle, your sheep, your grain Dig a well, you have much water Have family and family can multiply and be productive Have some land, build houses adobe style, or with local timber But in these times, the NWO satan system of money is strong It is illegal to live off grid, truly off grid You must have jobs, titles, money, taxes, insurance, cars, tools, etc All of that is made in factories where humans are divided from themselves and family And to get those modern resources the earth is being polluted and destroyed I also was down this financial path, and tech path when I was younger Mid 30s now Gods wealth is not in materials or money or fame or prestige, it is in rightnousness, integrity, love, rich in spirit, abundant in family and companionship, the peace of knowing god We do not need to "own" things, the forest is for all of us to enjoy I have found few things to be an honest was of earning money these days for many complicated philosophical reasons, I am not judging, but for myself, with great knowledge comes great responsibility I got hurt falling off a bike, massage helped heal me, I am now a massage therapist, and I try to not only serve the rich I also farm organically, taking care of the earth, and feeding people quality food The way I see it, natural health is important, and one of our most basic needs, and in such and "advanced" society, most people are completely disconnected from it College is evil, liberal, puts you in debt Why can kids go to college to get in debt, the whole point is for security, to basically buy a home, but grown men nevermind those college kids are not allowed a loan for a home? Skip all the college debt? They are indoctrinated, brainwashed, and put into financial debt They get introduced to all kinds of evil, and pride, of knowledge that is mostly manipulated against us Working for big companies, counting money all day, it is all satans system, not gods, Its very deep, and Would take forever to fully explain, and there would be many contradictions in my words, but over time your heart can feel the message Any questions please ask Follow your heart, do something simple, that helps the world, they have made it hard, having electricity is destroying our planet and causing cancer, same with driving to work, same with us using the PC right now, satan has desensitized s to his system, and thoughts like this seem laughable and insane to most, trust they are not This modern machine is wrong, and they mock us Many many many people resisted the so called industrial revolution, they mock us with that term, the people revolted, but lost, and we are still loosing They have bred us generation by generation and are slowly boiling the frog, people are addicted to what is no good for humanity, and the machine makes it nearly impossible to be free, but we can resist Best of luck everyone! I love you all Seek nature, seek god, seek humbleness, care not what others think of you

Comment from : Star RockStar

AMEN “The reason we’re not in 1,568 unengaged people groups is not that we don’t have enough money It’s that we have too much It’s all stored up for ourselves And it’s killing us, not the church Of course, we got bills to pay It’s not the issue It’s spiritual issues It’s killing us It’s killing our hearts It’s killing our consciences It’s killing our kids”

Irony: John Piper’s net worth is $20 million
Comment from : Screwdriver

It is interesting that there are very few multi- millionaires and billionaires who are believers Not MANY rich not MANY noble not MANY wise according to the wisdom of this world shall inherit the kingdom of God, but God has chosen the foolish things the weak to confound what I just said so no flesh would boast As it is written if we are going to boast let us boast in the Lord
Comment from : TRUTHJUSTICE&LIBERTY4ALL

Amen
Comment from : Joseph Grande

Money has a way of bailing people out of the straight and narrow way that is full of hardships trials testings necessary to mold and make the Christian more like Christ Money has a way of making it easier to deny Christ and His Cross that would otherwise teach us self denial

Comment from : Michael Michael

Despite Jesus's teachings, many religious ministers and pastors are drawn to riches like polititians It really is a challenge, because as soon as you see a person with a better car than you, you start blaming youself for not having, not providing your family with luxury and pleasures, and soon you start giving way to despair
Comment from : Eric Smidt

Don't get me wrong, I hate the false prosperity gospel with the upmost passion but there is no sin in having wealth in and of itself! Just out of curiosity, I wonder what Jon Piper's net worth is? If you gain your immense weath not from your own hard work or investments but from the ministry, that's wickedness!
Comment from : EmV1 626

Why do you want to keep the Christian broke? So the evil doers can continue to carry the wealth and destroy the world further? Without wealth how do we expand and promote the Gospel? It takes money to take the word around the globe!

Comment from : Jason Tran

God I pray that you Lord would teach us to be giving with any wealth we aquire legally Help us to help others that greed does not set in Help us to seek out the needs of others, that we may bless them in your name Give us power over money that we do what is right for the kingdom and ourselves Bless those with it, but moreover bless those who give to those who need it In Jesus name I pray Amen
Comment from : Miss Londa

I don't believe wealth is a curse I believe it's what you do with wealth that makes it a curse Job had wealth he wasn't cursed but rather Tried The earth is the Lord's and the fullness there of EVERYTHING BELONGS TO GOD
Comment from : Miss Londa

That’s why a lot of Christians are poor, in poverty, and in want Their testimony is close to useless… they are believing God will save them in spirit, but are having a hard time believing God to pay their rents Was Abraham rich? Yes Isaac? Yes Jacob? Yes David? Yes Solomon? Yes Job? Yes Paul? Yes Timothy? Yes Were they cursed? LOL NO! Were they generous? Yes I believe what the Bible says about prosperity, not a religious opinion of what people think the Bible is saying…

Huh??? So poverty is a blessing? What about Abram? Why was the promised land not the desert but the land of milk and honey? In fact why didn’t God just leave them in Egypt? This is wild!
Comment from : israel phiri

I honestly hate my life sometimes I hate that my family is poor and we live in the crazy drug infested chaotic area we live in For years we have been praying for a Financial miracle so we can move away and have peace but after 20 years of praying I have finally accepted that it most likely is not the will of god and now I keep my hope in the beauty and promise of heaven
Comment from : Mr Man

money is the true god Try living with out it
Comment from : Tommy Stratford

I have wealthy family, they wouldn't buy water to pour on someone who was on fire, it is easy to become selfish when gaining more here is all you pursue, you wind up selling your loved ones without any concern, poverty is a curse too, because you face massive amounts of burdens, the rich take all the money you have coming in with never ending bills & act like they are doing you a favor, this world is a rich man's heaven & a poor man's hell, I know being poor makes us suicidal, I used to think God hates us, but I think the rich are the serpents seeds, they want it all & in the words of one of my wealthy relatives some do better with less, while I think God can forgive anyone, I think it is extremely unlikely that a rich person will have any wealth in the afterlife, they have broken so many & love no one except themselves
Comment from : I AM THE FATHER, SON & HOLY SPIRIT

Let God be true and every man a liar (Romans 3:4) The Book of Provers lists it all it tells us what makes a person wealthy and what makes a person poor It has nothing to do with faith or righteousness Poverty; laziness, Greed, covetousness, drunkenness, busy body, slothfulness, ignorance, pride, idolatry, folly, economic illiteracy, adultery, procrastinatination, stealing, fear, party spirited, individualism, and no vision, selfishbrbrwealth: prudence, good steward, wisdom and knowledge, productive, humility, team player, purpose-driven, industrious, opt to change, willing to make calculable risk, think generationally etc

Wow the devil really wants to keep people miserable I’ve never seen such passion for poverty Wealth is a test, God already enabled man to generate wealth This poverty mentality preached here would have me under a freight train if I kept living that way God wants you to prosper by his ways Wealth can be used for good or evil

Pure truth
Comment from : Ashley Ivena

Gen 24:34 br“I am Abrahams servant The Lord has greatly blessed my master, and he has become great, he has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, camels and donkeys”brbrHere, wealth is associated with having Gods favor and a blessing Is Christ looking at Abrahams wealth in retrospect and saying that it is easier for one of Abrahams camels to go through the eye of a needle than for Abraham to enter heaven? Abraham was extremely wealthy in his time and so were his descendants Abraham the father of the faith Christ himself in Luke 16 when teaching about the parable of Lazarus and the rich man references Abraham in heaven So we know that he was not condemned for being wealthybrbrIs this a contradiction? It appears as though Old and New Testament outlooks on wealth change Can anyone clarify this?

Been poor my whole life, working on changing that now From personal experience POVERTY cannot be from GOD!
Comment from : NateDawg38

Very interesting perspective This has been on my mind a lot recently I often feel that I am trying to reconcile my pursuit and desire for wealth with being a Christian Christ was a homeless man with very few if any worldly possessions and we are supposed to follow his example brbrIn this day and age we are told that money is freedom and bombarded with get rich quick schemes etc I'd say that the ability to detach yourself from money is freedom and be happy no matter what your circumstances That is true freedom I think that's the problem, and I understand why this man calls it a curse It reminds me of the young Noble man who was told to give up all he had and follow christ but he went away sorrowful Having wealth often makes one accustomed to a certain lifestyle and once they have that they would find it hard to give up and will be willing to do unthinkable things to keep their wealth Wealth becomes their master I know many good Christians who have done questionable things in the pursuit of wealth brbrI have also been thinking a lot about the mark of the beast and it might seem a bit of a stretch but I'm starting to think it refers to money and more specifically the love of money
