Beloved, I wish
Seas prospered
in all areas of your
Life:
1. Spiritually.
2. Physically,
3. Mentally.
4. and economically. "
3 John 2
you probably already know this verse of the third epistle of John, verse 2. And it's true that is one special verse and addressed to the church, set to a disciple friend. But we know that was addressed to believers of all ages. And this
is not the only verse that says these things in the Bible
The key question is: Does God want your personal well-integrated in this land?, Does God want this for your family?
O, God was not concerned about these earthly human subjects, some would say "carnal."
Is it spiritual to be poor?, Is it a sin to be rich?
Now there is a doctrinal approach on this subject called "Prosperity Theology
On the other hand the church also teaches a lot about Christian stewardship, or the proper administration of the assets and resources that God gives us. Some mention of this too, but I notice that this is not my subject.
There are other books that dwell on these issues and I recommend further study.
Now returning to the introduction, which is the title of the book "God desires that you may prosper" in all areas of your life:
According to 1 Thessalonians 5.23 The man is composed of three integrated areas of existence: spirit, soul and body. Note that the first is the Spirit. But it says that we are only spirits.
The apostle Paul talking to God, in Romans 7, he says: I have a fight on me, because I want to leave this body, home to sin, to be free spirit. But while I am a servant in the body.
In the first part of this manual I'll play some songs are a bit complicated than the 7 myths of poverty. And I hope when you go through them more prepared to receive what you say with the help of God on the theme.
God wants to give us a better quality of life. This is safe. The matter of becoming rich or not a particular track. But look around and tell me if you do you think God will be pleased to see how his people live in this world? Especially his servants.
There are two extreme views and a more balanced on poverty and wealth that we see in this course manually.
1. The first says, is spiritual to be poor and suffer, because for this we have come to this world. Christ taught and the example.
2. The second was the other extreme and says God wants all Christians to be rich. For the redemption has removed all the reasons and causes of poverty and suffering, and therefore if you suffer poverty or are wrong.
3. The third will be the subject of this book: God does not want wealth or poverty of the people in this world as the main theme of his vision. Because he is more concerned our eternal destiny. For if the subject of eternal life is not resolved, then be rich or poor is a small matter: does it profit a man to gain the world if he loses his soul. And gets to the point of saying that the poor achieve bliss.
But if the issue is resolved eternal life in Christ, then God becomes the Father sees us living in this temporal world and shipwrecked passenger and pilgrims crying from hunger and desolation. "You'd be quiet if you were God?
Lately, more than before, and I had personally heard of personal and family financial crisis Christians who suffer. And I worry that we are using recipes from past to present problems.
Before believers seem to have less worries, and life had other opportunities, apparently God had more tools to work miracles and provide for our sustenance without greed or sin.
But now these recipes and methods are no longer functioning as before.
I am concerned to hear much the new system: Seeding, give me and God will bless you.
and another said, Pray, ask, trust, da, God take care of you.
This is true, we see
And I have to tell you something: We are still physically living in this world, but spiritually we have already died and are seated with Christ in heavenly places.
So why does not God save us and took us to heaven?
know the answer right?: Is to serve, to be instruments of God and give Him glory. Ok.
But the conflict still remains: Why does the world has the tools to live in this world and only Christians know how to pray.?
Well outside our prayer out of faith and praise. But it is by what I see and hear prayers are cries of lamentation and complaints and many requests for support.
The focus of this book is this: God wants us to prosper in everything. She is not thinking, what you want. And prosperity is not just for money, although it includes. For lack of money sometimes creates physical and mental ills, including family issues and spiritual struggle with suffering.
Prosperity is Welfare, development, success, happiness, and faith.
Prosperity is a better life, with eternal life.
(I hope this joke No offense: They say there are some churches who are very busy preparing large containers of tea, filter, and loose bulk. Because the message is: "Christ is coming soon, making tea.")
A better life includes spiritual welfare and eternal salvation. This should be the main focus of the Christian. God says: I want to know me. One day he told me. Do not praise your strength or wisdom or human virtues. If anything, want to praise you exult to know and understand. This is what we have dedicated for centuries, and still achieved little.
A better life also includes physical or body and mind. God cares about us feel good. Want to be happy. Want to see us laugh, want to see us run and enjoy life. I can not imagine unconcerned about the disease and stress and worry and depression and mental and emotional stress, I do not imagine him unconcerned about the pain felt by those who are sick. Not saying it's an easy issue, or to have the answer to the problem of the disease. What I am saying is that God does care. And his desire is to be healthy. But also, in the same sense to God interests you, and much, concerned about our financial well-being or economic ... (Continued), watch this video ...
