What is the purpose of prosperity? It is to be a blessing.
Prosperity comes in many forms: Words, health, finances, etc. Blessings are to meet needs of yourself and others. They are not intended to be withheld or restricted.
Moses wrote by The Holy Spirit in Deuteronomy chapter 8:
18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”
Isn’t spreading the Good News one aspect of establishing FATHER’S Covenant with us on earth? We are to be a light to the world by being a testimony of what Jesus Christ has done and is doing in our lives. This includes our generosity toward others.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Ecclesiastes chapter 5:
18 Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. 19 And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. 20 God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 6 when Jesus spoke:
37 Jesus said, “Forsake the habit of criticizing and judging others, and you will not be criticized and judged in return. Don’t condemn others and you will not be condemned. Forgive over and over, and you will be forgiven over and over. 38 Give generously and generous gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for more. Abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an overflowing measure that it will run over the top! The measurement of your generosity becomes the measurement of your return.”
Everybody makes mistakes which contribute to their current state. We must be careful not to judge people who are in need. Our generosity should be guided and directed by The Holy Spirit who leads us to abundance in our own lives. My wife and I have experienced this Truth over the years. We should expect overflow in our lives else Jesus would not have stated this expectation in His own Words!
We should expect miracles in our finances that will break the chains of debt placed upon us by the worldly system. The god of this world wants to keep us enslaved by debt so we should expect FATHER to break this cycle with blessings and prosperity. Our blessings should then flow toward those who are still in bondage so that they too can experience being set free.
Mark recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 9 when Jesus spoke concerning impossibilities:
17 A man spoke up out of the crowd. “Teacher,” he said, “I have a son possessed by a demon that makes him mute. I brought him here to you, Jesus. 18 Whenever the demon takes control of him, it knocks him down, and he foams at the mouth and gnashes his teeth, and his body becomes stiff as a board. I brought him to your disciples, hoping they could deliver him, but they were not able to do it.”
19 Jesus said to the crowd, “Why are you such a faithless people?[k] How much longer must I remain with you and put up with your unbelief? Now, bring the boy to me.”
20 So they brought him to Jesus. As soon as the demon saw him, it threw the boy into convulsions. He fell to the ground, rolling around and foaming at the mouth. 21 Jesus turned to the father and asked, “How long has your son been tormented like this?”
“Since childhood,” he replied. 22 “It tries over and over to kill him by throwing him into fire or into the water. But please, if you’re able to do something, anything—have compassion on us and help us!”
23 Jesus said to him, “What do you mean ‘if’? If you are able to believe, all things are possible to the believer.”
24 When he heard this, the boy’s father cried out with tears, saying, “I do believe, Lord; help my little faith!”
25 Now when Jesus saw that the crowd was quickly growing larger, he commanded the demon, saying, “Deaf and mute spirit, I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
26 The demon shrieked and threw the boy into terrible seizures and finally came out of him! As the boy lay there, looking like a corpse, everyone thought he was dead. 27 But Jesus stooped down, gently took his hand, and raised him up to his feet, and he stood there completely set free!
Jesus preached jubilee, the release of all debt of any type. Shouldn’t you and I expect to walk in jubilee from all restraints placed upon us by the world system? Can you be steeped in debt and walk in jubilee? No, you must be set free. Jubilee is freedom from enslavement of any kind no matter what area in your life. If you are in debt, you have a restriction placed upon you preventing you to freely give.
We need to pay our bills, provide for our children, and help others while in this world system. However, the Blood of Jesus is greater than any obligation we might take on in this current economic system.
FATHER’S Love and resources are greater than any alternative found in the world. We simply need to embrace this Truth and tenaciously hold on to it by faith for provision found in the Blood of Jesus is greater than any need. It is FATHER’S Heart to not withhold and good thing from us, HIS Sons and Daughters.
