God Wants You Saved, Well And Prosperous!! I really like Andrew Wommack's Bible teaching on=God wants you saved, well, prosperous http://www.awmi.net/video/this-weeks-tv/#/2018/week31/monday

Isaiah 53:4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore,
And our sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging, we are healed.
Matthew 8:16-17 16When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. 17This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases."
1 Peter 2:24 24"He himself bore our sins" in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; "by his wounds, you have been healed."

shalom is used through the old testament for prosperity.

Shalom (Hebrew: שָׁלוֹם ‬ shalom; also spelled as sholom, sholem, shalom, shulem) is a Hebrew word meaning peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquility

this is what prosperity is not just one of them but all 7 of them. if you are not living in all 7 of them then you are lacking in that area. being able to live a persperous life by the shalom definition sounds impossible but it is not. money alone does not make a person prosperous which i agree with triumph about. many think prosperity hs to do only with money. it does not.

God bless

Back in early 1990's, The pastor said all kinds of erroneous things concerning "prosperity". One of the things he said stands out in my memory and a red flag sure did rise up...even though I was quite the babe in Christ...He said "God doesn't want his children to be driving around in junker cars, and living in poverty..." Uh huh...he was speaking solely about material blessings, not Spiritual.

God loves to bless and prosper His people!==So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. 23All the kings of the earth sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.… 2 Chronicles 9:22

Philippians 4:11-12
11Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, to be content.

12I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: everywhere and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

Those that do not want God"s blessings and gifts and are happy with what they have are also blessed.
4Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 34:7
And...is not the desires of our heart been placed in there by the Holy Spirit? And what exactly is it this prosperity "gospel" consider the "desires of your heart? Material riches in this world?? I will NEVER agree with that...If one is truly saved, your own desires are replaced by God Himself with His desires...we should "want" what He want's, not new cars, nice houses, money...blah, blah, blah. He has made us rich in all things SPIRITUAL. No child of His is left wanting anything to eat, clothes to wear and shelter..."Seek ye first..." I was where you are and stayed in it for 2 years! I tried so hard to MAKE myself have FAITH for all the things this "gospel" teaches...then, God brought me out of that kind of teaching and showed me Truth...HE wants our hearts, all of it and, He want's hearts for Him and Him alone. We do not seek the things of this world.
God Bless,
-nancy

Poverty is a curse!! Prosperity, blessings, gifts, from God, are a blessing. But we have what we say and believe for. Jesus says==Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.Mark11:24

The King (Christ, our LORD) surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom...and Glory. All the kings of the earth “seek” an audience with Our Lord to hear the wisdom that God has put in His heart. He will show you how to overcome the enemy without resorting to the evil of the enemy. He will show you how to be content. How to have peace in the midst of a storm. He will show you the true meaning of love: a contradiction to all this present world is built on. But the foundation has been moved. HE is now the foundation and those that find it (Him) dig deep and anchor into the Rock that won’t be shaken.

I can’t convince you, but take all the gold and silver and money(prosperity) and health and wealth of this temporal world and you will not come close to the prosperity of God. Everything combined, all the riches, do not come close to the value God has placed on His people. Isaiah 52:3 “For thus saith the Lord , Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.”

Growing up, I was told of the gold that waits in heaven, how heaven is paved with it. The gold is HIM. That which ought to be sought after. None of those things we are tempted with here as a means to satisfy our thirst; will ever satisfy. No amount of money is ever enough to someone with a hole in their bag.

HE has declared the End from the Beginning. We have seen it in Job. And Jesus told us about those that forsake all for His namesake, and of their inheritance of the earth. God’s people do prosper in what counts and what will remain: Truth, love, peace, hope, joy; a face to face relationship with God. The creator. Don’t reduce the gospel to dollar signs. Just look to heaven and to those signs....do the two compare?

Song of Songs 5:2
[2] I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying , Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.

How can you help poor peopleif you are just as poor yourself?? Poverty is a curse!! Prosperity, blessings, gifts, from God, are a blessing. Why fight against God"s blessings?? No worries God will not force you to accept His gifts and blessings.

By not making them poorer by grabbing their money. Prosperity Preachers produce nothing. They are PARASITIC. If they wish to be wealthy, nothing is stopping them from having their own businesses and then preaching the Gospel ABSOLUTELY FREE!

Feed a hungry person and, next week they will be hungry again. Give them Christ.

Poverty is a curse?

Matthew 3:3-4
[3] For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. [4] And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

So here is a question: if God told you that you could put your hands on a person and your faith would heal them Spiritually or heal them physically...which would you choose?

Where did Jesus get his wealth? From the poor who gathered to listen to Him preach. Jesus didn't even have a house! Was Jesus cursed?

There's a lot of talk about these guys, as if all TV preachers are like that.
And that's not true.
Not all. Just the ones who love a lavish lifestyle while they preach the Prosperity Gospel and plead for cash. One of them had three private jets already, but "Jesus told him to get another one which costs several million dollars"! In the meantime hundreds of thousands of brothers and sister are getting by with barely a meal a day.

If you really think about it, that is a total disgrace for Christianity. As I said they all can start their own enterprises and become as wealthy as they wish. But then go and preach the Gospel AT NO COST -- WITHOUT MONEY AND WITHOUT PRICE.

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. (Isa 55:1)

Yup.

And this is all old news.
I have heard this a hundred times.
Don't dwell on it.
Don't watch them.

Watch or listen to the good ones.
