The Bible teaches more about giving and prosperity than salvation. Luke 6:38; “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Poverty is not from God. 2Corinthians 8:9; “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.” Galatians 3:13; “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:” We have been delivered from all curses.
Your spirit has been redeemed. 1Corinthians 16:7; “For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.” Ephesians 1:13-14; 13. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14. Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” You are sealed by the Holy Spirit. Jesus paid the ransom. 2Corinthians 5:21; “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 1John 4:17; “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.” You are a son/daughter of God. 1Peter 5:8-9; 8. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9. Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” 2Corinthians 5:7; (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 1Corinthians 2:16; “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” Hosea 4:6-7; 6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. 7. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.” We were created for God’s pleasure. 1John 3:8; “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” Matthew 6:24; “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Romans 5:17; “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Deuteronomy 21:23; “His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.” Jesus came to redeem us from all curses. Deuteronomy 28:25; “The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.” Ephesians 6:12; “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Jeremiah 29:13; “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Hebrews 13:5; “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Psalms 121:4; “Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” 3John 2; “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” Deuteronomy 8:18; “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” Matthew 6:19-21; 19. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” We don’t have to be in poverty. Because we have everything Jesus has.
Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
