“When we have no room for the Word of God in our lives we have no room for success.” – Phil Pringle, Faith, 2001, pg 14.
‘Pastor’ Chris Pringle tells the story of she and Phil Pringle suffered tremendously… to obtain a $3.5 million house. (It’s tough having a knife in your heart.)
EDIT: If YouTube doesn’t load to the correct location, Chris gives her story at 36:00.
If you would like to see where their $3.5 million house is and what it looks like, read our article here:
IS JESUS THE LORD OF YOUR FINANCIAL HARVEST?
Did Chris Pringle really have an encounter with Jesus? Would you listen to her ‘Lord of the Harvest’? The Apostle Paul has this to say to people like Phil and Chris Pringle:
“And what I do I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of [Phil and Chris Pringle] who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do. [Phil and Chris Pringle] are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.” 2 Corinthians 11:12-15. (ESV)
So if Prophet Chris Pringle had Jesus speak to her, it is worth testing to see if Chris Pringle follows the true Jesus. This ‘Jesus’ of Chris Pringle revealed that he was Lord of the Harvest. Chris knew that this ‘Jesus’ was saying he was Lord of her financial harvest.
The only time we see Jesus mention the phrase ‘Lord of the Harvest’ is in Matthew 9. But to understand the context of this phrase, we need to understand that the early manuscripts did not chapter breaks. Matthew 9:35-38 and 10:1-7 reads:
And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”
Here is the context:
- “Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom.”
- Jesus saw the crowds were, “harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd”.
- In response to what he saw, Jesus said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest”.
- What did Jesus (the Lord of the Harvest) do? These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “… Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”
It is clear that Jesus is not telling his disciples he is “Lord” of their financial harvest. Jesus is only keen of harvesting souls for the kingdom. As Jesus says in Matthew 10: 8-10,
“You received without paying; give without pay. Acquire no gold nor silver nor copper for your belts, no bag for your journey, nor two tunics nor sandals nor a staff, for the laborer deserves his food.”
It is clear Jesus considers his disciples his labourers. It is clear that these labourer’s mission was to preach the gospel so that man can be saved. It is clear that Jesus did not have ‘prosperity’ on his mind when he commissioned them, he had salvation.
What Chris Pringle is peddling is classic Word of Faith heresy. Jesus’ ministry is all about saving souls. The only competent thing Chris Pringle’s Jesus can do is harvest the cash from people’s wallets.
CONCLUSION
So how should we conclude Chris Pringle’s antics? Did Chris see a demon parading as an “angel of light” and fell for its deception. Or is Chris purposely and deceitfully manipulating people to give hard earned money to the conniving money-grubby Miracle Offering?
Righteo….I mean I wouldn’t personally go as far as saying she saw a deceiving spirit; alternatley if she was lying about the vision that’s her problem.
It’s so sad she has to have a knife in her heart and cry about not being able to buy a $3million+ house…more recently I had a knife in my heart when I was about to default on all my credit and plunge my family into a debt collectors control.
You know what? I’ve listened to this “sowing to your harvest” stuff; I’ve heard it mostly in c3, possibly other churches. Tell me, where does it say this in the Bible? Sowing a seed blah blah.
I’ve heard off the c3 pulpit about how Paul said to the Philippian church in 4:17 – “Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account” – saying that we have an account in Heaven of all the transactions we make. Hmm well maybe but I don’t find it confirmed anywhere else.
The more I go on and listen to this stuff, the more I unlearn it. What are miracle offerings? To get your miracle?
To all those who believe in miracle offerings, tithing, blah blah, I’ve got a challenge for you – go for 6 months without tithing, doing special offerings. Still give something to church, but don’t be coerced. Learn to accept God as your Heavenly Father, like Jesus said He was in Matthew 6.
I’m not saying giving doesn’t “work”, ie God blessing you back, but it doesn’t always happen at that time. It doesn’t always mean people are gonna rock up on your doorstep with $10000000. Anyway, try that.
Um, I’m casting my vote for the latter option. By the way…novel concept, refuting false teaching with God’s word. Bless you!
You know, even my very small children can look at these propserity preachers and see they are liars and thieves. My 5 year says ‘mummy, they shouldn’t have so much money. Jesus never had money!” (yes folks, she got that from the Bible). My son, who is 9 and loves Chris Rosebrough’s program marvels at the number of pastors that preach sermons about themselves. A boy blessed with biblical sermons at our church, he can see the difference as if it were, well…night and day…darkness and light. You get my point. Now that’s the Holy Spirit at work!!
” My! What Big Stories You Have! ”
All the better to blind you with my dear!
“Chris gives her story at 36:00.”
Yes, she does give her story/testimony at 36:00.
It’s nothing more then a tear-jerking BRAGAMONY!
To me, most people here remind me more of the Pharisees than the disciples. Take a good hard look at Matthew 12, judge yourself before you judge anyone else.
To me, most people on this sight sound more like Pharisees than disciples. Your focus is more about destroying something that is bearing fruit – miracles and people coming to know God, than it is about Jesus. Take a good look at Matthew 12, look into your heart, and judge yourself before your judge anything else.
Ben Smith – you are deceived!
So Chris gets a knife in her heart and gets upset because she can’t buy this house.
I get a knife in my heart right now because my bank account is $200 overdrawn to pay the needs of my wife and children, I’ve got $15 in my wallet and I don’t get paid until next week.
This is the truth.
Oh and their respond would be, “just sow your $15 in faith to reap your harvest!!”. Righteo, you put yourself in my position and see what you’d do Phil and Chris. I’d rather give it to the Salvos Bushfires appeal I just saw rather than “sowing it” to get a seed back. You don’t give to get.
DOES CHRIS PRINGLE FINALLY SAY IT? At 44min12sec….it sounds like she is saying “precious precious satan”….Phil looks VERY nervous and the young woman in the background looks absolutely terrified!
Can i also say to C3 people..”Church Planting”…is NOT a C3 innovation….I have found references to this in american QUAKER writings…It is mentioned in the writings of John Woolman 1720-1772. Has Phil been reading and ‘borrowing’ Quaker writings? It appears so.
The Truth – definitely, much of the teachings of C3, Yongghi Cho and even Bill Johnson from Bethel Church appear to have the same foundations as new age, esoteric and Quaker teachings. For starters, they are all hearing from the same decieving spirits for their dreams, visions and words of knowledge…originating of course from the Angel of Light. I have found the deeper you dig, the more you find the rotten core of false doctrine which is definitely shared with the Quakers, who many don’t realise are very influential. Also, folks like Leonard Sweet and other emegergents dabble in the same deceptive spirituality. Self-deification barely disguised as Christianity. Dark stuff.
It occured to me as I was writing this that it is perhaps the ultimate deception…worship of the Father of Lies, drawing people in through the temptation of veiled self-deification, cloaked in the trappings of worshipping Almighty God with all the lying signs and wonders and spiritual epxeriences to make it utterly convincing. People thinking they are worshipping God, yet nothing could be further from the truth. Diabolical really, when you think about it. That is why we must pray without ceasing and keeping sharing the Gospel and building up the Body.
Okay. I just listened to the rest of this where Chris Pringle gives her testimony. I am utterly sickened by what I have just watched. It was at times incoherent, patently unbiblical and even outright lies were told. There is no way our mighty Saviour Jesus Christ is blessing this. No way. I stand by my earlier statement that this is not a Christian church. This is overt, disgusting manipulation. I have to go listen to some hymns now to clean my brain out from that hideous experience.
I have to say Cephas and CW, the luciferian theory is perhaps more credible than the likelihood that the Pringles are actually Christians. Truly, I felt ill watching that segment again. I know there are some here who have grown up with these teachings, so I am not trying to be mean to you…but truly, this is ungodly.
I posted it before, but thought it worth linking to it again…a sermon called ‘Christ and Money’ from my senior pastor. It is unrecognizable when compared to the Pringles. That’s because it is God’s word preached faithfully in the power of the Holy Spirit. May it bless you…
