Prosperity

Trusting In

Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.

1 Timothy 6:17

Daddies

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Galatians 4:6

Love

Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

1 John 4:17

And Grace

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

2 Corinthians 8:9

Through Faith

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

Ephesians 1:3

In Jesus The Christ

Prosperity

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

Hallelujah!

Oh, he didn't mean help the world's poor that belong to Satan, but those poor that belong to him. I think A lot of people thinking just helping anyone poor is good and I think they miss the mark...but the poor christian is still lacking.

How does one tell the difference between the poor believer and the poor non-believer?

by the fruit of their labors...... one that is with Christ, has good fruit that last, one that is not, does not......

a poor man that is working to make ends meet, well, i would give him the shirt off my back and also give them a roof to cover their heads, but a man that sits and relys on other men to work for him, is not worth the salt that comes from his body, for his salt is tasteless and flavors nothing.....

Amen, that was who I meant, a finanically poor working poor person, A true healthy Christian never not works cause he knows God doesn't bless a Loath. But true Christians are suppoose to show Godly love towards other Chirstians and Godly love is to help one escape out of their problems....like God did for us. Amen

Matthew 5

I was just wondering what everyone thought of prosperity. Do you have a favorite definition for it? If you have studied what the bible says about prosperity, what have you found? Peace

Psalm 73 explains to me what true prosperity means.

If I may

1Truly God is good to Israel,

to those who are pure in heart.

2But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,

my steps had nearly slipped.

3For I was envious of the arrogant

when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4For they have no pangs until death;

their bodies are fat and sleek.

5They are not in trouble as others are;

they are not stricken like the rest of mankind.

6Therefore pride is their necklace;

violence covers them as a garment.

7Their eyes swell out through fatness;

their hearts overflow with follies.

8They scoff and speak with malice;

loftily they threaten oppression.

9They set their mouths against the heavens,

and their tongue struts through the earth.

10Therefore his people turn back to them,

and find no fault in them.

11And they say,

Speaking of which - check this out:

edit - ok, the link wouldn't work for some reason. I think it might be automatically blocked on this site. If you do a search for 'china wine' and youtube, it'll come up straight away.

It's pretty skanky.

And guys - if you're trying to keep your minds clean, be careful flicking through this.

This is a pastors wife. The guy is preaching soon at a church I used to go to. He goes all around the world and tells people why there's nothing actually wrong with it. lol.

His church is huge - over 30,000 at least - I don't know the exact figures.

"Prosperity" teaching in all its glory.
