True Prosperity

True Prosperity

True prosperity is when your soul prospers. When your soul prospers then everything else lines up and you will have good health and financial provision.

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

2 Corinthians 8:9 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. Chapters 8 and 9 are talking about our money, wealth and financial situation.

If you desire financial blessings, give to the poor: Psalm 41:1 A Psalm of David. Blessed is he who considers the poor; the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

If your heart is right before God and you love Him about all else then you will not love money. 1 Timothy 6:10 for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

This is the attitude of a giver who will prosper.

Luke 6:27 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

Luke 6:28 “bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.

Luke 6:29 “To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him, who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.

Luke 6:30 “Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.

Luke 6:31 “And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

Luke 6:32 “But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

Luke 6:33 “and if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

Luke 6:34 “And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.

Luke 6:35 “But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

Luke 6:36 “Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

God wants us to put others first. When we love God by loving our fellow Christian, neighbor and enemy, it will open up a new world for you and you will have the abundant life that He is talking about.

Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

1 John 3:16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

1 John 3:17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

2 Co 9:6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

2 Co 9:7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

When God is first in your life all else comes together. Having your heart right before God is the most important thing that you can do. God wants a loving relationship with you. Talk to Him and listen to what He is saying and He will guide you with the Holy Spirit into all of the blessings of the Kingdom of God. Sometimes you just need to sit before Him and be quite and just enjoy His fellowship and wonderful presence.
