What is “prosperity”? Prosperity is “the state of being prosperous”. Synonyms: success, profitability, affluence,

wealth, luxury, ease, plenty, comfort, security, and well being.

From the Latin word for “doing well”. In Hebrew several words are translated

“prosperity” including the root word for “shalom”. In Greek several words are translated

“prosperity” including the word “soteria” which is “salvation”.

The Greek words “sozo” (saved) and “soteria” (salvation) are used to translate “shelam” and “shalom” in the Septuagint.

To be “saved” means that a person has been made prosperous!

For God so loved the word that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him would be SAVED (prosperous).

As a Son or Daughter of God YOU ARE prosperous!

You have the DNA of God in your spirit. God is Love and so are you! Love is the KEY to prosperity! The battle for prosperity is selfishness vs

selflessness! The battlefield is the mind and the weapons are

words of faith vs words of fear.

All of your needs will be met as you meet the needs of the Kingdom.

Matthew 6:34 – THEREFORE, TAKE NO THOUGHT (by saying) about getting your needs met!

of the needs of His Kingdom.

The battle for prosperity is between selfishness and selflessness.

Adam chose selfishness in the middle of his prosperity.

He chose to try to meet his own needs AFTER God had already met them.

God WANTS to meet your needs and already HAS!

He has already GIVEN us ALL things that have to with life on this planet and being like Him.

He meets our needs according to His riches in GLORY by Christ Jesus.

Where is His Glory? Christ (the Holy Spirit) in us is our earnest

expectation of Glory or His riches. The Holy Spirit, who is in us, has our riches that

have been given to us by our Father to meet our needs.

I am not talking about MONEY! His Power, the Holy Spirit, is in us TO GET THE

WEALTH!

Isaiah 60:1-7 – The Glory of the Lord has RISEN upon you resulting in material prosperity.

The ones without a covenant with God will come to the Light of the Glory and bring their wealth with them.

The darker the world gets, the more death, destruction, and godlessness abounds, the more the Light of His Glory will arise upon us.

By knowing WHO we are we will seek His Kingdom and what’s right to Him.

Knowing that He is taking care of our needs allows us to take care of His needs.

Our needs are taken care of as we take care of His needs.

We hinder and even stop the Holy Spirit manifesting wealth for us by us trying to take care of our needs!

Selfishness is a disease of the soul that prevents the Word of God from strengthening our spirit and manifesting wealth.

How to be prosperous God’s way: Determine to walk in Love and not be selfish. Dedicate everything you have to meeting the

needs of the Kingdom. Look for ways to take care of the needs of others

by giving what you have. Work at a job knowing you are a Child of God sent

there to be a blessing. Listen to the Holy Spirit for Him to tell you where

to give and how much. Be aggressive in harvesting the seed you’ve sown.

List the needs you have including the needs of others as if they were your own.

Be specific about the amount. Write it down. Pray believing you receive when you pray. Release angels and bind demons. Give thanks for the manifestation. Look for the manifestation. You are in the Family business of meeting needs. You’re only here to meet the needs of others!
