In this podcast, Dr. Mikael Stenhammar explores the role of Satan in Prosperity Theology. This theology often portrays Satan as a significant and active force, responsible for sickness, financial lack, failure, fear, and unbelief. The WoF perspective emphasizes defining the root cause of evil and suffering, attributing much of it to Satan’s influence.
The prosperity theology shapes a worldview where believers must constantly battle Satan, using their faith and authority to overcome his influence. While this may feel empowering at first, it also introduces a theology driven by anxiety and fear.
However, Word of Faith exaggerates Satan's power and places him as a near-equal opposite to God, inadvertently promoting his role while downplaying God’s power and freedom. The Bible, though acknowledging Satan's presence, does not support the idea that he has absolute sovereignty over the earth. Instead, scriptures affirm God’s ultimate control and authority.
Join Mikael as he delves into the implications and biblical basis of these beliefs and their place in Prosperity Theology.
