Beloved I willest above all things that thou mayest be in health and prosper even as thy soul prospereth

That's God's will, someone will object and say "no, no this is only what St. John wished for his readers," listen St. John is the disciple whom Jesus loved, who rested in Christ's bosom at the table, he is not about to will anything for you that God  doesn't will. Of course God wants YOU to be in health and prosper, why wouldn't he?

I am not American, I hear so much about false preachers in what is called the "faith movement" I don't know about any of that, I only heard Benny Hinn preach once on a video and he preached forgiveness at the cross the resurrection and new life in Christ, taking St paul as my example he said many people are preaching the gospel for all kinds of reasons but he said I only rejoice that Christ is being preached.

I read the many detractors of " health and prosperity" preachers but I have yet to read a sensible cogent argument against the teaching, it seems to me that those who hate the doctrine have their eyes fixed just as firmly upon the man preaching as those who seem to fawn over them.

Does God provide? of course He does every saint knows it, well is His provision abundant or niggardly? what's the difference between abundant provision and prosperity?

Jesus demonstrated in His miracles that God's provision is abundant He does exceedingly and abundantly more than we can ask or think.

Look at people languishing in poverty, are they being blest? wherever the gospel has gone into whatever nation it has been recieved, prosperity has followed, and where it is rejected the people languish in poverty still, even though christian aid, tearfund and the salvation army and a whole host of christian organisations are lining up on the borders of those countries just itching for the opportunity to go in and feed their children.

Poverty is a curse, it started the day Adam and Eve rebelled against God and were chucked out of the garden of abundance.

God does not use poverty or sickness to teach man, to know what God's will is and what He is like you have to look at Jesus and He is a Healer and a Provider and He doeth all things exceedingly well.

Does that mean if you are poor or sick you are a rascal? no, a thousand times no, but never lose sight of the fact that God loves you and that His will for you is good. read my post on this page God Imputer and may the Lord bless you this day.
