DEUTERONOMY 8:18 – “You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth.”
The Secret: God is the Source of your supply!
As long as you are connected to the Source (GOD), you can be Prosperous!
It is when you turn from God as your source and depend upon people and conditions for your prosperity that you will have financial problems.
People and conditions are channels for your supply but God is the Source.
Because this is true, you don’t panic if the channel changes just look to God as your Source for guidance and supply!
Activate this truth now and confess – “I don’t depend upon people or conditions for my prosperity. God is the source of my prosperity and provides His own channels of supply to me NOW!”
A Formula for Financial Success
Here is a formula that has worked consistently for me and will work for you, too, if you will commit yourself to it. You can use it as a guide in receiving from your giving in any area.
1. Decide on the amount you need.
Be careful not to cheat yourself. God is a giver. Determine the amount you need and then be singleminded. A double-minded man can’t receive anything from the Lord (James 1:7-8).
2. Get in agreement according to Matthew 18:19.
This is very important. The best and most powerful situation on earth is a husband and wife who can agree together in these areas. If this isn’t possible in your particular case, then get together with another believer who will join in faith with you.
3. Lay hold on it by faith.
Use the principles set out in Mark 11:2324. Believe it in your heart and confess it with your mouth.
4. Bind the devil and his forces in the Name of Jesus.
You have the authority in Jesus’ Name to order Satan out of your financial affairs. This is your responsibility. Don’t ask God to do it. You do it in Jesus’ Name. Mark 16:17, James 4:7 and Ephesians 6 tell you to resist the devil.
5. Loose the forces of heaven.
Hebrews 1: 14 refers to the angels as ministering spirits “sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.” The Bible also says that angels hearken to the voice of His Word (Psalm 103:20). When you speak God’s Word, in faith, in the Name of Jesus, they are obligated to follow your command.
6. Praise God for the answer.
Psalm 8:2 and Matthew 21:16 say that praise stills the enemy and the avenger. It keeps the door of abundance wide open. The channel between you and God is clear so you can receive from Him.Your Financial Breakthrough Prayer and Confession
Father, in the Name of Jesus, we ask You for $______. We have this money in our heavenly account and are withdrawing this amount now. We believe we receive $__________. As in Mark 11:23-24, we believe it in our hearts and confess now that it is ours in the Name of Jesus. We agree that we have $__________ according to Matthew 18:19. From this day forward, we roll the care of this over on You and thank You for it.
Satan, in the Name of Jesus, we take authority over you; we bind your operation now and render you helpless.
Ministering spirits, we charge you to go forth and cause this amount to come to us according to Hebrews 1: 14. Father we praise Your Name for meeting our needs according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus and for multiplying our seed for sowing, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
Your Prosperity Promises
• 3 John 2
• Matthew 6:33
• Philippians 4:19
• Psalm 35:27
• Psalm 37:4
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” JOHN 10:10
Abundant life is God’s phrase for the “good life.” Abundant means “excess, more than enough, bounteous, rich, profuse, extravagant, fully enough, and lavish.” This is the type of life God has planned for every believer and that includes you. He wants your life to be blessed ‑ abundant, prosperous, and successful.
The devil is the thief, the killer, and the destroyer. God is the blesser, the giver, and the abundant one. Don’t get God and the devil mixed up. They are totally different with opposite motives concerning your welfare. God is for you. The devil is against you. However, since God is for you, the devil can’t stand against you.
Jesus came into the world so we would experience the life of God, which is abundant, full, and ample. He came to the earth to give life to you, not to take it from you.
Jesus died on the Cross and was resurrected from the dead so you could live an abundant life. You receive resurrection, or abundant life, when you become born again.
You were not reborn to barely get along. Your heavenly Father does not take pleasure in seeing His children living in poverty.
The Truth is: God wants you to enjoy His riches in glory right now. He loves you and does not plan for your failure. Instead, He plans for you to succeed. He plans for you to experience eternal, abundant life now! And this life is always more than enough!
An Affirmation that Will Change Your Life
I live abundantly in Christ Jesus.
He is my Shepherd, and I do not want.
No good thing is withheld from me.
God has blessed me with every spiritual blessing
in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
The Cookie Thief by Valerie Cox
A woman was waiting at an airport one night, with several long hours before her flight. She hunted for a book in the airport shops, bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.
She was engrossed in her book but happened to see, that the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be. . .grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between, which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene.
So she munched the cookies and watched the clock, as the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock. She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by, thinking, “If I wasn’t so nice, I would blacken his eye.”
With each cookie she took, he took one too, when only one was left, she wondered what he would do. With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, he took the last cookie and broke it in half.
He offered her half, as he ate the other, she snatched it from him and thought… oooh, brother. This guy has some nerve and he’s also rude, why he didn’t even show any gratitude!
She had never known when she had been so galled, and sighed with relief when her flight was called. She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate, refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate.
She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat, then she sought her book, which was almost complete. As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise, there was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes.
If mine are here, she moaned in despair, the others were his, and he tried to share. Too late to apologize, she realized with grief, that she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief. Author: Valerie Cox
How many times in our lives have we absolutely known that something was a certain way, only to discover later that what we believed to be true … was not?
Prosperity ‑ It Is God’s Will!
Let’s look at some passages of Scripture showing God’s will for His Church to be blessed.
2 Corinthians 8:1,2,7‑9
Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit (or we desire you to know) of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia,
How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality (or giving).
Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
The word grace traditionally has been defined as God’s unmerited favor, but that is a limited part of its definition. In light of the Scriptures, God’s grace is really an empowering of God’s ability in your life.
The apostle Paul was saying to the Church, “I want you to know something supernatural that is taking place at the churches of Macedonia.”
Those believers were living in the midst of a horrible economy. They were being faced with many challenges and attacks financially, yet they were abounding in their giving to the work of God.
Paul, writing by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, was saying, “I desire that this same supernatural ability would abound in your church.‑
The Blessing of Abraham
Another portion of Scripture I want us to read is taken from Galatians, chapter 3. Paul is not talking here about something the Lord Jesus Christ will attempt to do one day or promises He will do in the future. He is referring to something Jesus has already done. Let’s begin with verse 13:
Galatians 3:13,14
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Now in verse 14 it does not say that we would become recipients of God’s promising us the Spirit, but rather that we might receive the promise which the Holy Spirit made through the Word of God. Then it tells us in verses 28 and 29:
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Jesus Became Poor for You
I want us to look again at Second Corinthians, chapter 8, verse 9. This Scripture teaches that Jesus Christ has purchased for us through His own sacrifice not only the right but the redemptive promise of being prosperous. It says:
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor.
Do you understand how rich Jesus was before He left heaven? He was sitting on the throne of God and walking on streets of gold. In the book of Revelation we see Jesus coming to talk to the apostle John. He didn’t appear wearing old clothes; He had on white raiment. There wasn’t just a band of gold on His finger; His chest was covered with a vest of pure gold. (Rev. 1:13‑16.)
Jesus was experiencing the wealth of heaven, but He left all of that to come down to earth. He was not born in some fancy place, but in a barn. He experienced poverty until He entered the ministry and began through His faith to exercise the laws of abundance and prosperity.
Yet notice Second Corinthians 8:9 says that He, for your sake, became poor.
You might ask, Why did He do that?
To set an example for you.
An example of how I am to be poor and humble and lowly in heart?
No. So that you, through His poverty, might be rich.
I think many people miss this. They say, “Well, Jesus didn’t have anything, so we shouldn’t have anything, either.” The point is, He had everything, but He relinquished it for a season to come to earth as a man and pay for our poverty of spirit, soul and body. He took our poverty in exchange for His riches.
Prosperity Is a Part of Your Redemption
Jesus was made poor that you, through His poverty, might be rich.
After looking up each word of 2 Corinthians 9:8 in Greek, I found that, in the original text of the epistles from the apostle Paul, these words deal specifically with financial prosperity. Yes, Jesus died on the cross and rose again that you might be born again and be in right standing before God; but He also bought and paid for prosperity that you might walk in the fullness of it.
Financial prosperity has to be seen for what it scripturally is: a part of your redemption in Christ Jesus, something Jesus paid for on the cross. His suffering purchased it for you.
Your Prosperity Pleases God
God absolutely takes pleasure in your being prosperous. Psalm 35:27 says He hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. Are you willing to please God by being prosperous?
This entire verse from Psalm 35 says:
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause (in other words, those who are on God’s side): yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
Some people read it this way:
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, God wants me broke.
But that’s not what this verse of Scripture says. Again, it says:
… let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
God wants to see His people prosper. Under the Old Covenant, the Israelites were servants of God who brought pleasure to the heart of God through their prosperity. How much more today do we as believers, as sons and daughters of God, as children of the Most High God, bring pleasure to the heart of God when we do well financially?
This Scripture is saying, “Let God be magnified, let us say continually that God wants us blessed!” We need to always be saying that God wants us to prosper.
We have sung in our church some wonderful music, singing about how God is good. But how can God be good if He doesn’t want us to be financially blessed? As Jesus said: If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? (Matt. 7:11).
Let’s think of ourselves in comparison to the goodness of God. We fall far below God’s goodness. As parents, we are always trying to help our children and bless them. We desire that they would prosper and have lots of good things. Then how much more does our heavenly Father give good things to those who ask Him?
When you receive a bill in the mail, your first question should not be, “How am I going to pay it?” Your first question should be, “I wonder how my heavenly Father is going to bring it to me this time?“
The Blessing of the Lord
Proverbs 10:22 refers to the blessing of the Lord. It says:
The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich…
As a child of God, a joint‑heir with Jesus Christ, you have been given the blessing of the Lord. The blessings of Abraham are already yours. (Rom. 8:17; Gal. 3:14.)
As believers, we become enriched in our souls when we know the Lord. The word rich in this verse from Proverbs is the Hebrew word pronounced “aw‑shar’.”‘ It has only one meaning and that is for financial prosperity. It is a word that describes wealth, money, income. It has nothing to do with anything like virtue or good feeling.
You could quote Proverbs 10:22 this way: “The blessing of the Lord, it maketh financial prosperity.”
Verse 22 goes on to say:
… and he addeth no sorrow with it.
God has a system, but the world has a system, too. In fact, the world’s system is vicious. It can bring prosperity to people, but sorrow goes along with it. The prosperity of God’s system comes without sorrow.
A Blessing to Every Believer
In the New Testament we find where God’s Word clearly, without a shadow of a doubt, promises financial prosperity as a blessing from God for every believer.
The Third Epistle of John, verse 2, begins with this salutation: Beloved…. Because you are a born‑again Christian, this epistle is God speaking to you. It says, Beloved, I wish…. In the Greek, another meaning for the word wish is the word will. Here in verse 2, God is telling us His will for His people. He says:
Beloved, I wish (or will) above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
If it’s God’s will for every believer to prosper, then why are so many dear Christian brothers and sisters still experiencing poverty and lack? Because their soul has not been trained in this truth. Their understanding of the Scriptures has not been renewed to include all the promises of God. You will prosper in accordance with your understanding of the Word and your obedience to that Word.
It’s not just having a covenant with God; it’s being a doer of the Word that releases these blessings. But if you don’t know the Word, how can you be a doer of the Word? You will only prosper in proportion to the prosperity of your soul, or your understanding of the Scriptures.
You have to understand that it’s God’s will for everybody to be saved, yet some people are not going to be saved. Because they rejected what had been told them concerning the Lord.
The same is true regarding financial prosperity. There are many Christians who don’t know anything about financial prosperity as a promise from the Lord in His Word. Others have rejected it, thinking it is wrong.
Nonetheless, it is God’s will for you, as His child, to be prosperous. We must establish, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that God desires for you to prosper.
Knowing God’s Will
Prosperity is just like any promise, any blessing or any other provision of your redemption in God through Christ Jesus. You have a right to divine prosperity. But before it will ever become a reality in your life, you have to be totally convinced that it’s for you. You have to know that you know that you know that prosperity is the will of God for your life.
Maybe you know for a fact that, were you to die right now, you would miss hell and go to heaven. With that same assurance of your salvation, you need to know that it is God’s will for you to be financially prosperous.
I remember some wonderful words I heard several years ago. They were so powerfully true; I can’t improve upon them. They were, “Faith can never rise above the known will of God.”
God’s Word says in 1 John 5:14,15
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
Knowledge of the will of God is so important for you to have faith in your prayers. You can’t believe for something when you don’t know if it’s God’s will for you to receive it.
When you know it’s God’s will for you to be saved, you have faith to be saved.
When you know it’s God’s will for you to be healed, you can feed your spirit/heart with promises of divine healing from God’s Word and have faith to be healed.
Of course, learning how to release that faith is yet another aspect of appropriating the promise. Whenever there is a doubt concerning healing being the will of God, then there will be lack of faith in bringing it to pass.
By the same principle, you have to know beyond any doubt that God wants you to prosper. If you don’t know whether it’s God’s will for you to be financially prosperous, you will never be praying in faith. You will never be praying with the aggressiveness necessary to actually transfer wealth out of the kingdom of darkness and into the hands of God’s people in these last days.
Stirring Up the Devil
Have you ever noticed how sensitive people are about their money? You can talk to them about the way they look, the way they talk, even about their family. But when you start talking about their money, you get onto another level.
Money seems to be where people really live. The truth is, they are that way about money, because that’s how the devil is about money.
When you start talking about money, you really stir up the devil! You have to understand that he is the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:4). But he is not God of the earth. Scripture says, The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof (1 Cor. 10:26). But he is god of the world’s system.
When you start talking about the prosperity of believers, you are talking about money being taken out of the devil’s pocket. That money comes from his operation, his kingdom, and it’s put over into the kingdom of God to help pay for the Gospel being preached throughout the world. That makes him mad!
The devil loves money. The Bible says, The love of money is the root of all evil (1 Tim. 6:10). Not money itself, but the love of it. You can commit that sin without a dime in your pocket!
God Wants You To Prosper!
There is some perverted preaching going on in pulpits all over the world that says God wants His people to be poor. That idea does not even align itself with the Scriptures nor with the nature and character of God.
The same religious group that convinced most of Christendom that the “Lords day” was changed from Sabbath to Sunday also teaches that poverty is spiritual!
People’s minds have been so cluttered with garbage that they can’t even think straight. They think, Well, I’m having a financial difficulty. God must be trying to teach me something. The only thing God wants to teach His people is how to be prosperous and lead other people to Jesus Christ.
Financial prosperity is not to be viewed as just some positive‑thinking opportunity that God will allow you to get mixed up in. It is not something God will tolerate your involvement with, like some kind of social club.
Financial prosperity has to be seen for what it scripturally and actually is: a part of your redemption, which Jesus Christ died and paid for. You have to see prosperity in that light. It’s not an option. It’s not something God just tolerates or allows you to have in His permissive will.
But some people have that perception of prosperity. That would be like having some kind of business which God just allows you to have. God’s prosperity is more than that.
Prosperity is one of the things the precious blood of Jesus was shed to purchase for you. You need to renew your mind to this truth. Prosperity was bought and paid for by Jesus Christ. It is the perfect will of God for your life. God wants you to prosper!
Most people believe that the circumstances of their lives are based on random and uncontrollable occurrences, such as their status or income. But this idea misrepresents reality and disempowers us completely. THE TRUTH IS, WE DIRECT OUR LIFE EXPERIENCES THROUGH OUR INTERACTION WITH THE LAWS THAT GOVERN NATURE!
