Romans 16:17-18 "Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting." (NASB, emphasis added.)

Gal 1:6-9 "I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!" (NASB, emphasis added.)

Mat 7:22-23 “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’" (NASB, emphasis added.)

The Scriptures mandate to us that we are to mark those who teach doctrine which is contrary to the Holy Word of God, and avoid them.

Below is a listing of Hickey's major teaching. Next to her quote we've countered with the Truth. Read for yourself, pray about it, and decide what the Lord would have you do regarding Scripture's mandate.

Blab it and Grab it?
God is not the only Creator?

"What do you need? Start creating it. Start speaking about it. Start speaking it into being. Speak to your billfold. Say, 'You big, thick billfold full of money." Speak to your checkbook. Say, 'You checkbook, you. You've never been so prosperous since I owned you. You're just jammed full of money" (Christianity in Crisis, Hank Hanegraaff, Harvest House, Oregon, pg. 351).

"Hickey's teachings are for the most part a blend of the theologies of Tilton, Hagin, Copeland, and a host of other 'prosperity personalities.' Her message is peppered with such Faith jargon as 'the God-kind of faith' and 'confession brings possession.' Hickey's theology has not only been influenced by the kingdom of the cults, but the world of the occult as well. In fact, her most direct exposure to occultism may well have come from serving on the board of Paul Yonggi Cho" (Ibid., pg. 352).
