The carnal man would have us believe that physical blessing and prosperity is separate from Spiritual blessing and prosperity. One can cite warnings of how difficult it is for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom and other such examples. However the key to the issue is your heart and what is your intent. Being poor and broke doesn’t allow you to be a blessing to others but can be a hindrance to walking out the fullness of your calling. FATHER has no issue in blessing you in any area as long as your intent lines up with HIS- the Divine Intent of Love.
2 Chronicles 31:20 Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the LORD his God.
21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.
What a simple reality! Do what is good, right, and true before FATHER and you will prosper. Your prosperity will overtake your need and it may come in many forms. Yes it may arrive as money but it also may come forth as peace, deep sleep, health, as well as other areas in need. You may have a loved one who finally has his or her need met and is no longer a daily focus in your life.
Sennacherib, the king of Assyria. came against Hezekiah and blasphemed THE LORD. You too will have those who would challenge your walk with FATHER. This type of challenge will expose what is in your heart and whether your are truly faithful to THE WORD of FATHER in your life. Do you really trust in FATHER to provide and sustain you? Do you really trust HIM to deliver you from your enemies?
FATHER’S response to Sennacherib by the mouth of Isaiah in 2nd Kings chapter 19:
29 ‘This shall be a sign to you:
You shall eat this year such as grows of itself,
And in the second year what springs from the same;
Also in the third year sow and reap,
Plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.
30 And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah
Shall again take root downward,
And bear fruit upward.
31 For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant,
And those who escape from Mount Zion.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.’
32 “Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria:
‘He shall not come into this city,
Nor shoot an arrow there,
Nor come before it with shield,
Nor build a siege mound against it.
33 By the way that he came,
By the same shall he return;
And he shall not come into this city,’
Says the LORD.
34 ‘For I will defend this city, to save it
For My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.’ ”
FATHER sent an angel who killed 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. When the enemy stands in the way of blessing and prosperity, the enemy will be removed from those who are fully trusting in FATHER. I have seen this reality over the years. We must walk in a constant state of reverence and gratitude toward Our Heavenly FATHER. We must not be moved by men who would try to intimidate us by their “derivative” power. Derivative power is temporarily given for a season but can be removed at any time without notice. However, FATHER in HIS longsuffering will provide notice according to HIS Way. Those who don’t heed HIS notice due to their blindness will be left wondering. Blessings and prosperity belong to those who do what is good and right and true before FATHER.
