God WANTS You to Prosper!!!

[Drey Day]

It took me a while to realize that God wants me to prosper and succeed. I grew up in a poverty-based theology that manipulates people into thinking that if they stay poor, broke, and out of shape that they are holier and that they should stay that way. Anything that deviates from that, like working hard at your goals and being ambitious is sinful and worldly.

Joshua 1:8 says “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night. Then you will make your way prosperous; then you will have good success.”

I’m so glad I escaped that destructive theology. Now I’m working hard at getting in super good shape, muscular, and making more money so I can invest in real estate. This is the dream God gave me, and I’m so glad to be sharing that with you guys today. I’m looking forward to being able to tithe even more now, really blessing others with how God has blessed me.

So to any guys out there who are broke, out of shape, lacking purpose, I say get in shape (it’ll clear your head!), fast, pray, and make lots of money!!!

 

[Dave M]

After reading the bible from cover to cover many many times all through the years, I can say God wants us to come to the saving knowledge and truth of the gospel whether we are broke or rich is very unimportant in terms of scripture that I have read. Paul Jesus and all the apostles were content. The Bible says being content is Godliness not being rich as a matter of fact Jesus taught the lure and temptations of wanting to be rich and how harmful it can be, more than he spoke on most topics. So read the bible and chase after God, not money.​

​

Mark 8:36​

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?

Mark 8:34​

And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

Proverbs 11:4 ​

Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

Matthew 6:19-21​

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

 

[Drey Day]

So what am I going to do the other 23 hours in the day after I finish reading the Bible and praying? Force myself to enjoy a job that I don’t like and not take advantage of any opportunities to use the skills God gave me?

You forgot to mention the parable of the talents, and how each servant was expected to multiply them and not squander anything.

God gave me a dream to make lots of money so I can fund charities and other organizations. How else do they get funded? Money doesn’t just come out of thin air.

Is not the calling of God is for you to suffer.

For Jesus is not enough for you. We are called to deny our selves. and forsake all others, for that is the will God for us and love not this world and love nothing in it.

Contentment in Godliness 1 Timothy 6:9 BSB
…8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these. 9Those who want to be rich,however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desiresthat plunge them into ruin and destruction.10For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. {AND THAT IS A PROMISE}

If you plant these ways you will reap the results of 1 Timothy 6: 8-10 your call, but since like to gamble, Invest and see the result of your returns. Through out my years in Christ watch many that believe those lies and I watch them crash and burn. I watch them "SAIL and SINK"!

An old lady told me a long time ago: "GOD" can do more for you with your Dollar than you can do with "MILLION" and today I am a witness. at 72 years old and content more than with THE MILLIONS! Thank you Jesus!


New King James Version James 4:4
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

John 15:19,23
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you…

You clearly didn’t understand or fully read my post. What will I be doing with the time God gave me the rest of the day after I spend time in prayer and reading scripture?

The servant who buried his one talent was a wicked person who didn’t take advantage of the opportunities he had to invest it.

Your response is generic and you need to be more specific in this post I am making and addressing my unique points I am making.

God will is very simple and not that hard at all and requires not a search journey..

English Standard Version
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality;

Live to please "GOD" and not yourself. Your pleasure is enjoying "The LORD" even all alone by yourself and have your mind of that which is in "ETERNITY" for we are heavenly creatures and not to set our minds on the things that the earth has to offer.

Live to Please God

1Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 2For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. 3For This Is The Will Of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 6That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 7For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 8He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. [The Parakletos]

9But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: FOR YE YOURSELVES ARE TAUGHT BY GOD TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. 10AND indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; 11And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 12That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

Once you reach that point then you will understand; this world and the successes it has will not mean nothing to you! "the Parakletos" guides you, JESUS WHO saved you, your Savior, Becomes Your LORD when you Obey and become full of The Holy Ghost! Then Finally Jesus introduce you to The FATHER ,GAME OVER GAME OVER and you Listen! especially when The FATHER refers to you as His CHILD! GAME OVER! what does that mean get there and you will see, No words can describe it, it is is impossible to describe "THE MYSTERION" if you think that The Holy Ghost is something, If You think 'The CHRIST" is something, you have no idea what happen When the Son introduce you to The FATHER! For Jesus is "THE WAY" to "THE FATHER" there is only "ONE WAY" to Get to HIM, One DOOR, that you never thought existed here on earth and it is beyond being "BORN AGAIN" the New BIRTH! and he was telling us all the time "I AM THE DOOR" why call me "LORD LORD" and do not do what I say, "FORSAKE IT ALL"

But you do not have to believe me, I been on this journey non stop for nearly 50 years now. and i do not mean churchnaity , or christianity!

I AM A CHILD OF THE LIVING! AND I KNOW IT AND DO NOT HAVE TO BELIEVE IT, I KNOW IT! because I read it in a Book? NO! I know it because "HE TOLD ME" who I am. and I hear His voice, and He said: WHAT DID I TELL YOU!!!! His Voice "ROARED" through Out ALL ETERNITY time STOP! I said to him, You said That I am Your CHILD!!! LORD have mercy, you have no idea what that means! There are no human words and any kind of words in all ETERNITY" can describe what that means, but now I know what it means, why because he spoke it to me! Not the Holy GHOS,T not JESUS, But The FATHER! There are NO Humans WORDS to DESCRIBE a "CHILD OF THE LIVING GOD" and what that means.

PS. another person, thought I was dreaming or something, Until it happen to HIM, He cried he cried and couldn't stop, He said I didn't know I did not know and you told me so! And I smile and just watch the Light in his face, he thought the Holy Ghost and JESUS was SOMETHING But "THE FATHER"!
I was so happy, just WATCHING HIM! AND I Thought THE Holy Ghost WAS A GREAT GLORY beyond words.
King James Bible
Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: FOR MY FATHER IS GREATER THAN I.
Your church cannot take you there, your pastor cannot take you there your desirers cannot take you there, your universities professors cannot take you there, your prayers cannot take you there, your successes and your millions cannot take you there Child of GOD, But JESUS your Big Brother can! For He is "THE WAY" Christianity cannot take you there! JESUS and "JESUS ALONE" "Come taste" and you have No Idea what he has given us The WHOLE KINGDOM THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER, HE HAS GIVEN IT ALL TO US, ALL POWER HE HAS GIVEN US EVERYTHING!

GOD Our FATHER, DO NOT NEED POWER HE IS GREATER THAN POWER he gives it OUT!
He does not need anything! HE IS BEYOND WHAT HE HAS! WAY WAY WAY BEYOND THE BEYOND AND WHAT HE HAS GIVEN US HAS NO END! IT ALL BELONGS TO US! CREATION IS NOTHING TO WHAT HE HAS GIVEN US! "INDICATIVE"

FORGIVE THE CAPS! But men and women and church members who are rule by men have no idea! "THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JESUS"! God has given us ALL! and he didn't mean only temporary a Heaven that was only made for a Ceremony for our CORONATION! into The family OF GOD Adoption Presentation! And earth and the galaxies and all of the planets in The Sola SYSTEMS is nothing to what all he has given us.

If you thought I was insane before not I am out the Box!

American Standard Version
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

and he will destroy it all. and right now His wrath is Burning hot. HE is so mad His eyes are burning with the flames of FIRE.

"Come out from among them" and have no fellowship with This WORLD and its people, we have nothing in common with them. We have nothing in common with these people on planet earth The WORD OF GOD said; NOTHING!

Lean not unto your own understanding BUT "TRUST" In the Words of GOD! for The WORD is The Light of My PATH and a LAMP TO MY FEET.

Psalm 119
I gain understanding from Your precepts; therefore I hate every false way. 105Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. 106I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep Your righteous judgments.

PS
your quote:
The servant who buried his one talent' means money. but a Parable is not for the child of GOD it is for unbelievers, and it means nothing to us.

only one reason Jesus speaks to them in parables

King James Bible
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

You are following what men and the church and your heart is telling you what GOD wants you to do.

 

[Admon Mikha'el]

If its Gods will that Christians are not prosperous, why are there examples of God prospering His people all through the Book from Genesis to Revelation? Believe the Word not churchianity doctrine....Please!!

 

[Jonathan_Gale]

There's no drawback in getting in shape, it's a reward if we work, rest and eat as God designed; wealth, on the other hand, is tied to our ability to handle it. The Master distributed his wealth to his three servants each according to his ABILITY - not need or claim! Money itself is neutral, it's a good servant but a bad master, the difference, again, is your ability to handle it. Money is a means to an end, which is to glorify God. If it becomes the end by and of itself, then you'll lose it.

What does the Bible says: What the will of God is for those who are In "Christ Jesus" and what the Bible says in plain English who is our example to follow and who we should imitate. In Plain English that cannot be mistaken or assume or even speculate.

Plain English that a child can understand. maybe many should invest in a "Strongs and A Young's and A Englishman Greek and a Englishmen Hebrew concordance." and do it the Old school way.

"This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest ..."

"For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence—but you were not willing.”


For This is the Will for every believer in Jesus Christ!

3For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality;4that each of you know how to [d]possess his own [e]vessel in sanctification and honor, 5not in [f]lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6and that no one violate the rights and take advantage of his brother or sister in the matter, because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you previously and solemnly warned you. 7For God has not called us for impurity, but in sanctification. 8Therefore, the one who rejects this is not rejecting man, but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you.

DO NOT LOVE THE WORLD AND NOTHING IN it!
1 John 2 BSB
15Do not love the world or anything in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.…

Apostle PAUL SAID:
1 Corinthians 11:1
"You are to imitate me, just as I imitate Christ".


Philippians 4:9
"Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."

Philippians 3:17
Join one another in following my example, brothers, and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you.


New American Standard Bible Philippians 3:18
"For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even as I weep, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ,"

NASB 1977
'The one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in The Same Manner As He Walked.'

You walk in His shoes, right Down the streets, of "The Via Dolorosa" that you may know The Power of His Resurrection


For This is The Will of GOD for you! you must forsake all "SLIVER AND GOLD have I none"

1Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

You must have the fellowship with HIS pain. You wanted it, you want to experience it!


Philippians 3
7But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but DUNG, that I may win Christ, 9And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10That I May Know Him, And The Power Of His Resurrection, And The Fellowship Of His Sufferings, Being Made Conformable Unto His Death; 11If By Any Means I Might Attain Unto The Resurrection Of The Dead.


You got to suffer! and forsake it ALL!

We are following JESUS and PAUL and not King David or King Solomon! who both did not follow the commands of GOD!

But if you want and desire "Prosperity" then you go get it! If you want diamond rubies Silver and Gold Then you, go get it, there is a god out there will give it to you! "THE LORD" is not going to get in your WAY, if that is what you want, then you go for it.

If you want "LQBTQIA" lifestyle go for it, there is a god out there that will make your desirers come true. "The LORD is not going to stop you or get in your way!

Go ahead and be happy, ain't no body stopping you. and if you want others to follow you, then Blow your Horn and tell them to come on and follow you!

Tell them, you know "The WAY" follow you!

And I am going to warn them!

You are correct in that...We are in the world but not part of it. BUT!!! Since we are in the world, living in bodies of flesh, we need things....Needing things is NOT lusting after them. Having a surplus that you can use to bless others is NOT living in sin. God wants to prosper us so we can bless others and get them saved. Simple

 

[Admon Mikha'el]

There's no drawback in getting in shape, it's a reward if we work, rest and eat as God designed; wealth, on the other hand, is tied to our ability to handle it. The Master distributed his wealth to his three servants each according to his ABILITY - not need or claim! Money itself is neutral, it's a good servant but a bad master, the difference, again, is your ability to handle it. Money is a means to an end, which is to glorify God. If it becomes the end by and of itself, then you'll lose it.

Can't argue with that...

You clearly didn’t understand or fully read my post. What will I be doing with the time God gave me the rest of the day after I spend time in prayer and reading scripture?

The servant who buried his one talent was a wicked person who didn’t take advantage of the opportunities he had to invest it.

Your response is generic and you need to be more specific in this post I am making and addressing my unique points I am making.

Study to show thyself approved...
Then take the message to the people...proclaiming the gospel of Christ.
Yep, its that simple.
Preaching the salvation message to the lost.
Yep, its that simple.

Your talents are in God.
God gives us talents to proclaim the gospel of Christ.
Those who use their talents are blessed with more to speak forth.
Those who hide it away are foolish and even what he was given is now taken away because he refused to walk in faith.

All praise, glory and honor be unto God. Amen

God knows we have need of these things and provides all our needs.
His arm is not shortened.
He is able to provide all our needs.
OR do you not believe that money came out of a fishes mouth to pay the tax?

All praise, glory and honor be unto God. Amen

You realize its utter selfishnesss to trust God only to meet your needs? Only yours? Our God can, and is willing to meet the needs of all peoples...Poverty is not of God but of Satan himself. Any church that preaches the benefits of poverty preaches doctrines of demons.
And please! Don't tell us about that crap that Jesus was poor. He was not.

Jesus was very rich in Spirit; but had no where to lay HIS head.
Umm, sounds pretty poor to me.
HE stayed in the mount, and lay upon the ground. And was content for HE had the Father.

Do not seek your treasure in this world, where moth and rust come and destroy,
But seek your treasures in heaven, where nothing can destroy.
For where your heart is there will be your treasure also.
And if thine eye be single, the whole body is filled with light.
And if the light in you be darkness, how great is that darkness...?

Seek the world and get your treasures there from it, you have your reward.

That's your choice to make; God or the world (mammon).

There was nothing selfish about what I wrote.
I said, God is able to provide all OUR needs. I believe that includes you too.
Maybe a good idea to not twist the Word of God; or my word, for it is written in the HOLY BIBLE.
If you insist that I was selfish; well I praise God for it.
I am worthy to suffer for HIS names sake.
For I can only testify to what I (self) has seen, heard, or felt. Amen
That is written in the HOLY BIBLE as well.

All praise, glory and honor be unto God. Amen

A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

New Living Translation
The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need.

New American Standard Bible
A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I will not be in need.

New King James Version
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

American Standard Version
Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.


American Standard Version
If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. [The world takes care of its own.]
And this is not "A.D." 30. This is The 21st.

And I do believe, since we know how to read now. People cannot saved anybody. And GOD does not Need our help to save anybody, or feed them. And He does not even need our voices, He can tell "The ROCKS" to proclaim His Word and ALL of His "Myriads of ANGELS " in which he will do.

[And the Bible also says in essence: [God is the One who decided who would be saved before there was a Future or a "CREATION" a Heaven or A HELL. He decided before anything ever existed, what HE wanted to do. he chose us and told Jesus who to save and gave Him their names before time or creation. Then He told JESUS now Go, I am sending you on a Mission and you will not FELL so have I decreed , and Ordain, to redeem, who I sent you, to save.

John 6
…"Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away. 38For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me. 39And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day.

Done deal. DONE "INDICATIVE, IMPERATIVE" IN THAT WHAT IS IT TO DISCUSS IN SUCH MATTERS, THAT PART IS FINISH.

That Is Why, We Move On To What He Has Command Us, According To Jesus! Assigned To Be Written To "Apostle SauL" Our Instructions To Be Carry Out Without Fail.

The Poor Is Taken Cared Of, This Is The 21St. Century, Look Around, This Is Not "A.D. 30". and think.

Colossians 3 BSB
1Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.…

But Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."

This is the century of a "TYPE and SHADOWS" of The Biblical, and maybe, be called The century of The Theologically " Rip Van Winkles" Who are sleeping , through a great revolution on Planet earth, The Greatest "Revolution it will ever be, of All times, "The COMING OF THE LORD" with The Armies of Heaven Following and RIDING, on WHITE HORSES.

I can hear the Battle cry from here and The Snorting and pounding of the Horses Hoofs from here.

PS.
The devil does not decide who is poor GOD DOES! you are giving more power to a mere angel, A Angel can never be "SOVEREIGN"

who told you these things, a mere angel decides, Who the SON of God created. the devil obey's Jesus, Jesus is The Devil's "LORD" and he obey's. Jesus is The devil's Creator!

where is all this stuff coming from? somebody is not reading the BOOk but listening to men!
Why the Lord said, For as much as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

LOL I do get a kick out of how Christians love to quote the verse about "No place to lay his head" Jesus was a travelling preacher!! When did He need a house? He was always on the road.....Christians tend to misuse scripture to fit their own opinions instead of taking the Word as its written.
You really do need to do an in depth srudy on the subject instead of spouting the churchianity party line.
