Kris Vallotton: Prosperity Preacher Exchanging Love for Wealth

NAR heretic Kris Vallotton actually teaches that God wants His people to be wealthy in spite of all the scriptures that say just the opposite.  Here’s an example of how wealth corrupts people:

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. — James 5: 1-5

Steven Kozar of Messed Up Church presents the details of Kris Vallotton’s highly unbiblical agenda which includes Vallotton’s list of 8 things that he believes will determine if a person has a poverty mindset or a wealthy mindset.  Kozar writes:

If you want to tickle itching ears with a prosperity/Word of Faith message it helps if you can talk out of both sides of your mouth. Vallotton is an expert. He begins his article by saying:

“Do you know that God wants you to be wealthy? It may be contrary to what we’re usually taught in the church, but I believe that wealth is a sign of God’s blessing in your life, and it’s how we are made to live as children of the living King! Think about it, if your Dad rules the world, then you are royalty on this earth and have access to everything He has access to.”

This is the same old Word of Faith/prosperity Gospel that has ruined millions of lives around the world, right? But then he says this:

“I want to make sure you’re understanding that I’m not talking about being rich. Although fruit of a wealth mindset is living in abundance, wealth is much bigger than simply having a lot of money.”

Wait… I thought he just said that God wants us to be wealthy? This is where he starts talking about a thing he calls a “wealthy mindset.” So is this about monetary wealth or isn’t it? Yes. No. Depends on which sentence you read. Vallotton then says this:

“Wealth is a “can do” attitude, a “more than enough” mindset, and a “nothing is impossible” belief system. How do you know the mark of a wealth mindset? It displays itself through radical generosity, extraordinary compassion, sacrificial giving, and profound humility. Wealth is always thankful, never jealous, doesn’t brag, celebrates others and looks to the future with hope.”

Doesn’t that last sentence sound kind of like a Bible verse? Only the Bible uses the word “love” where Kris Vallotton uses the word “wealth.”

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

— 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7

Why in the world is he exchanging the Bible’s clear teaching about love for a make-believe statement about wealth? Because Vallotton (like his buddy, Bill Johnson) is just another prosperity preacher. He doesn’t care about mixing up words or teachings; he’s got an agenda. He then goes on to list 8 things to determine if you have a poverty mindset or a wealthy mindset:

1. Poverty lives for today, wealth leaves a legacy.

2. Poverty finds a problem in every opportunity; while wealth finds an opportunity in every problem.

3. Poverty feels entitled, while wealth feels empowered.

    Typical word of faith/name it claim it garbage. Justin Peters has an excellent ministry against this kind of trash – http://justinpeters.org/

    The only ones who get ‘rich’ are the heretics who stand in pulpits and on stages as they fleece the audience out of their money. Follow the money….the trail leads right to the heretic that makes these false claims.

    Money is also needed to fuel their bigger dominionist plans.

    Vallotton is deceived, deceiving the gullible and he’s part of Bethel cult.

    What would Jesus Christ respond to this:

    1. Poverty lives for today, wealth leaves a legacy.

    2. Poverty finds a problem in every opportunity; while wealth finds an opportunity in every problem.

    3. Poverty feels entitled, while wealth feels empowered

    Jesus on Earth was a poor carpenter, did He uses riches to accomplish anything?

    He does have a Kingdom… but… it’s His way… in His time (John 18:36). If we do it His way… we’ll inherit all things (Revelation 21:7). The talk of treasure… (Isaiah 33:5-6; Matthew 6:21;13:44).
