Inside the Prosperity Gospel Movement with Costi Hinn

We all know someone trapped in theological error. The Word of Faith Movement that preaches the prosperity gospel of greed is the fastest-growing error among professing believers in the church. It is the predominant strain of “Christianity” overseas and the face of American Christianity presented on television and radio. America has been the breeding ground for charismatic leaders and prosperity gospel preachers for decades. We have exported this poison overseas through mass communication and media. The lies and empty promises of this heretical movement have allured millions and left a wake of ruined souls and disenchanted saints.

Nobody knows the inner workings of this false Christianity better than this year’s Equipping Conference speaker. Costi Hinn grew up in the movement that boasts his uncle, Benny Hinn, as one of its star proponents. He has attended the crusades, traveled with his uncle, and enjoyed the lavish lifestyle afforded by the false gospel. Then the Lord sovereignly saved him. Now Costi pastors a church plant in Arizona and has devoted his life to preaching the true gospel and seeking to reach those caught in the error that once blinded him.
