Biblical Steps to Prosperity


      
Along with taking sickness to the cross,
      Jesus took poverty. The Lord gave me these guidelines one morning
      as reasons for a blessing acceleration. If we want to avoid the
      pit of poverty and the pendulum swing of lack to blessing and
      back, we need to continue regularly, daily to do these things

      
1. Walk by faith not sight. If
      you are a visual person like me, this is not easy, especially
      in the area of prosperity.

      
2. Timing. Set a deadline or goal.

      
3. Faith applied works best if applied
      to self. The nature of faith and the free will of others
      limits what we can believe for them.

      
4. Name your seed and the harvest
      desired. For instance, I needed x thousands of dollars for
      printing my next book. It needed to go to the printer NOW (see
      #2). I gave 10% of that full amount as a seed to an evangelistic
      ministry. I named (stuck a sheet of paper with this on it in
      the envelope with the offering) the amount of money I needed.

      
5. Seasons. In actual "seed-sowing"
      there is the time where the growth of the seed is not seen. God's
      Word does not return void, so you can count on the harvest even
      if you are not seeing it yet. Don't waver in your faith.

      
6. Write down and seriously meditate
      the Word . Find out what God says about exactly how He will
      bless you - OVERFLOWINGLY.

      
7. Do the money making activity that
      God directs you to do. I began sending "jacket packets"
      from a book to the biggest libraries in the USA.

      
8. Leave nothing undone. Make
      sure you've fulfilled all of the requirements for prosperity
      such as tithing. Change if you need to change. Repent quickly
      if you fall.

      
9. Avoid selfishness and extreme frugality
      like the plague! These things are a huge hindrance to prosperity.
      GIVE and it shall be given unto you.

      
Scriptural Prayer for Financial
      Prosperity


      
I affirm (I recognize the inherent Power
      of the Word of God and agree with God in His Word) that:

      

        
My needs are met according to His riches
        in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:19

        
        
The Lord is commanding His blessing
        upon us in our storehouses (accounts) and in all that we set
        our hands unto (all activities, including money making activities).
        He is blessing us in the land that He gave us. Deut. 28:8

        
        
We give and it is given unto us, pressed
        down and shaken together (overflowing blessing). Luke 6:38

        
        
We do the Word, think about the Word
        and speak the Word day and night. Thus we are prosperous and
        have good success. Josh. 1:8

        
      

      
We give you glory Mighty God and praise
      You for being such a good Father and Provider! In Jesus' name,
      Amen!

      
 

      
(Yes, thank him in advance!)

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 (2
      Cor. 8:9).
