Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
Religion doesn't make much sense.Luk 4:18
(18) `The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because He did anoint me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with deliverance,
Most Christians do not experience the prosperity of which we speak. To the contrary, most believers are poor. Many find it hard to pay bills, keep food on the table, and provide for the needs of the family.
Most of the time when I present prosperity, I do not present it so believers can get rich. I present it to those who are suffering poverty. There are many many more impoverished believers than rich. Many outside of WoF are very paranoid about believers getting to much money. I do not see much danger of that happening. Jesus said the poor will be with us always. I am not worried about running out of poor people. I would rather risk the danger of a few rich believers if it means masses of poor believers can see what is available to them and believe God for their needs. Many of those who oppose what we teach about prosperity are themselves sitting in the lap of luxury, seemingly unconcerned that they are denying the poor the relief that Lord intended for them. I have always wondered why they would rather the masses of believers remain poor, just so they can prevent a few ministers from getting as rich as they are.
Difficult to understand.
I may have beat you to it, but it's so good it can be said more than once.You beat me to it!!!
This is one of our favorites. The wife and I confess this all the time!
"I am a tree planted by the waters!"
"Everything I do prospers!"
God gives us richly all things to enjoy. He even instructs the rich to be willing to give and share....Food for thought. God bless...

Yes, it's God's idea to enjoy the things He's made. He's the one the put them there, He's the one that came up with the idea to be fruitful and multiply, He's the one that chose to send Jesus to be made a curse so the blessing of Abraham could be ours. It's all His doing!
God gives us richly all things to enjoy.
At the same time we remember to love the LORD with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, for we cannot love both God and money.
The love of money is the root of all evil. But we can enjoy all the things He richly gives us.
Luke 10:27....You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.
1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in).
Amen! No good Father fails to care for His children. We put people in jail for such things. How much more will our Father who is in heaven care for His own?Faith says I shall not lack for any good thing. How could I.
I seriously doubt we will do without, knowing the provider as I do. It is just not His way.
