It is the folding over to the reprobate mind that signals the end of a culture. This is a nation of Nabals.Evil sure is persistent. I can only hope things don't escalate even further for those of us facing persecution as I can see it seems that we are unable to prevent the descent of the overall atmosphere of our society as of late.
Important to fellowship together. The Lord has been telling people that lone wolf believers will struggle alone. But persecution has the effect of driving the unbelievers out.

Most that I know refer to the Biblical definition of "prosperity." So don't get turned off every time you hear the word. You will have to stop reading the Bible. The word prosper in it's forms can be found almost 100 times.I would if I could find other believers but it seems the vast majority of Christians and churches are now deceived by the false prosperity Gospel.
I tried fellowshipping with these Christians I just don't fit in anymore, my spirit can't tolerate their unbiblical doctrines anymore.

I believe everything is included in the atonement. Jesus gave us everything we need. Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law with His body and blood. We pray in His name. I would not so easily dismiss and despise what He has done for us. Hebrews talks about treading the blood of Jesus underfoot as if it were a common thing. Also 1 Corinthians speaks about failing to discern (appreciate, see the value) of the Lord's body. As a result many of them were sickly, weak, and died young. So do not dismiss so quickly what the Lord has done for us due to the excess of some. Don't freak out every time you hear the word prosper. There is a Biblical precedence for prosperity. Not golden fixtures and private jets, but needs met and reaping the good things you so.
Peace.

I do feel like so many people out their are either deceivers or deceived. It is increasingly a rotten, evil world we live in.I would if I could find other believers but it seems the vast majority of Christians and churches are now deceived by the false prosperity Gospel.

That hit me hard, because that's the way I feel. It seems many Christians today are in one of two categories. A) Those who follow what Jesus Christ taught and accept that he is God and that his word IS law and B) Those who feel like Christians but try to make Jesus Christ "conform" to their ideals and beliefs because they don't like His laws as they oppose what they wish to do.my spirit can't tolerate their unbiblical doctrines anymore.
Are you sitting at a computer right now writing this? Or are you on a 1,000-dollar phone? Or maybe a very expensive IPAD? I assume you have a car, maybe a house? Do you have life insurance, health insurance, car insurance, electricity, running water, internet, maybe a gas line? How about a frig full of food and a stocked pantry? How about the retirement plan and the 401k?In the New Testament, Jesus clarified what prosperity really means.
John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 6:63
The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit[a] and life.
What the devil used to tempt Jesus with: lusts of the flesh like material prosperity
What Jesus meant by 'full of life' or prosperity: Things that concern the Spirit. because the flesh counts for nothing.
Prosperity have entirely different meanings between Jesus and the devil. The latter concerns material prosperity only and any counterfeit notion of spirituality that led to the fall of the Pharisees.
The devil comes only to steal and kill and destroy and his favorite weapon is worldly wealth. It steals - exploits the weak for the cheap labor and desperation, kills - the environmental impact of money-making, and destroy - by blinding you from the truth.
Abraham became rich for a reason, he would have become the foundation of a great nation. Joseph saved so many lives. But wealth and power nearly destroyed King David. It almost destroyed King Solomon until he lost everything. Only after he lost everything that King Solomon received real wisdom from the Lord - Ecclesiastes - but Christians would rather read Proverbs. King Solomon's worldly wisdom BEFORE his redemption.
It all ended in the New Testament. We have no longer have any purpose to live a life of privilege as it will only blind us from the truth. Everything became a test. Even the Bible became a test.
Of course, most Christians don't know. They have more time with worldly things than seeking the truth. Fellowships with equally deceived Christians who are the only ones who can understand their worldly love because that's where their heart really is.
I am always amazed when I hear people sitting on a pile of riches, talking about how evil prosperity is.
Really amazing.

I'd love to help in any way I can, however I don't know what type of persecution you're going through. Are you a targeted individual? I.e. "gang stalking"? Or is it something else? I believe as time continues, us Christians will be persecuted more and more and we need to stick together. May the Lord watch over you, friend in whatever you may face.
I've also noticed that many people these days try to avoid anythimg negative as if it doesn't exist.
