Are the word of faith/prosperity doctrines biblical?

From my understanding and study, here are some of their main teachings: - God wants us to be prosperous in this life (health, wealth, relationships etc) - If we don't receive we don't have enough faith (faith is a like a force) - we are little gods; we have creative power to speak things into reality (i.e think positively and that thing will come to pass - often related to success) (name it, claim it) - Jesus was tortured in hell/hades by demons, for 3 days to atone for our sin (the cross wasn't the end of his suffering. - There are some other niches of teaching within these doctrines I simply can't remember currently (these are the main ones above) From listening to some of these preachers they do use verses to back up their claims; are these actually what the bible says, or are they being twisted? *I do have my own thoughts about the truth of these teachings, however I am not going to include them, as I still want to neutrally approach the topic/question.*
