I cannot encourage any fabrication even for the sake of making people feel good. If I were to fabricate consciously and knowingly, I would not only be ordaining myself their enemy, but also ordaining myself God's enemy.

The core tenet of worldly religion and the pure heart of the Lord Jesus are different in that one is centered around being a good person while the other flows for obedience.

On one hand it sounds just, but on the other, it illustrates the reason why a prosperity message has and needs its limitations.
