THE GOD KIND OF FAITH FOR PROSPERITY: As born again believers, we are redeemed from the curse of the law and are heirs to Abraham's blessing and God's promises of prosperity. For many years I did not understand that it is God's will for His children to prosper. I thought, as many do, that poverty is a characteristic of humility -- and in order to be humble, one must be poor. I thought that a righteous man could not be wealthy, and a wealthy man could not be righteous. I thought any promise in the Scriptures regarding financial blessings apply only to the Hebrew Jews. I have since learned, through studying God's word and applying it in my own life, that God wants His children to "prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prosperth" (3 John 2). Someone might say, "The Bible says that money is the root of all evil." However, the Bible does not say that at all. (1 Timothy 6:10). Says, "For The Love Of Money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have errored from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." A person can be guilty of that sin and not have one dime ! I have heard people say, "Well, I guess I'm just another job." Some people think that poor old Joe went through life poverty-stricken, sick, and afflicted. However, the entire book of Job happened within a period of nine months, and the last chapter says God turned Job's captivity, and "the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before" (Job 42:10). When the thieves broke in and stole Job's things, he was in captivity to Satan. Just as many of you are ! Prosperity is not just about money, it is a bout the whole man spirit, soul, and body. When the father failed and burned of his crops, he was in captivity to Satan. When the storm came and blew the house down on his children and they were killed; when Joe was smitten with boils from his head to his feet; when his wife turned against him and said, "Curse God and Die," Job was in captivity to Satan. But God turned Job's captivity. If you think you are another job, that means you'll be one of the richest man or woman around ! You'll have twice as much as you've ever had before. You will be healed and live to be old. Job lived hundred and 40 years after the events recorded in the Bible. If you are another job, you will prosper. REDEEMED FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW: (Galatians 3:13 through 29). "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hang on a tree: that the blessings of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. . . And if you be Christ's, then are you Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
