True Prosperity

A lot of people think that “true prosperity” is having all the money, the fancy house, nice car, spouse, the child(ren) and successful career. All of these things are good and desirable things; I want them too. Psalms 84:11 says that no good thing will He withhold from those who walk upright before Him. God wants His Sons and Daughters to prosper. He doesn’t want us to be poor like some people believe. God even gives us the desires of hearts. Who desires to be poor? No one! There will never be a time that you ask God for something, that is expensive or nice, that He will ask you to ask for something lesser. We are the King’s kids. Remember that God knows us through-n-through. I do not believe that He will give us anything that will turn us into an undesirable son or daughter. Sometimes some people get things, and they turn into a whole different person. God knows the intent of ever heart; He knows our motives, and I don’t believe that He will give a son or daughter something that He knows will turn them off the path of Christ. And then again, He might just let you have the thing you request so that you can see yourself; so that you can really see if the love of God dwells in you. Who can know the mind of God? – No one! Now all of this is not to say that God is a suga-daddy, nor should we treat Him as such. Always pray the Word of God, and trust that He can and will bring it to past – in the land of the living. 3 John 1:2 says that He desires that we prosper and be in health, even as our souls prosper. The more we prosper or renew our minds/souls to the Word of God, the more we prosper. A really prosperous soul equals a really prosperous reality/life in Christ Jesus, and on top of all this you will be in good health – talk about a win-win situation. But the same goes for the opposite of this. A poorly prosperous soul equals a poorly prosperous reality/life in Christ Jesus. We have to rightly divid the Word of God. If the Word of God tells us to do a “thing”, and you will get a certain result, then doing the opposite of the Word of God gets you the opposite result. Example: Ask and you shall receive. Don’t ask, and you shall not receive - Simple enough.

Having true prosperity, having the spiritual as well as the material, is having the Word of God that you confess and believe (releasing your faith) manifested in your life. This is true prosperity. Without the Word manifested, you can have all the money, houses, cars etc, but none of them can produce true happiness, healing, salvation – a ticket to Heaven. We are not whole; we cannot be whole without God in our lives. People try to fill the void in life with all kinds of things in this world, when all they need is Jesus. I know; I’ve been there. God is everything that we need. Everything can be found in Him. When we die or Jesus calls us up hither, none of these worldly, earthly things will matter. There is an answer for every situation that can arise in our lives. Being able to speak the Word of God and have it manifested here in the land of the living – that’s awesome. How wonderful would life be??? This is how it should be for the righteous. We have the Word of God, we know it, but why aren’t we seeing the Word manifested? It could be a lack of faith, doubt that God will perform His Word for us, unfinished business of God, holding grudges. When we have not done what God has instructed us to do in His Word or what he has spoken for us to do, we block our blessing(s) being manifested. When we’re not tithing, walking in love, holding grudges, lying, cheating – the list goes on- we the righteous hinder our blessings.

Examine yourself before you bring you need, desire, request before God. Make sure there is nothing hindering your prayers, your true prosperity – God manifested Word in your life.

Remember there's a sinner's prayer on this site. If you have back-slid or haven't tasted and seen that the Lord is Good, then say this prayer. You don't have to be in a church building to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. There is a moment that will happen, and it will happen in a twinkling of an eye (as fast as you can blink), and those who have confessed Jesus as Lord and have walked according to the Word of God will be raptured up to be with Him forever and ever. Yes, it sounds too fantastical to be real, but don't take the chance that it's not and be left behind. So don't put this off. No one knows the hour or the day when this will take place, but it is for us to be ready when it's time to go. The first step is to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. If you say this prayer, contact me; let me welcome you and personally encouraged you in your new life with Jesus!
