Is Being Rich and Wealthy Evil? Is Prosperity Really AN UNHOLY THING? Lets look into this briefly......deno
Is Prosperity Evil? Is being rich and wealthy in itself a sin? Lets approach this with some biblical common sense. The bible says that it is absolutely impossible for God to lie or to Sin. The bible you and I feast on reveals that being rich and wealthy and prosperous is the way of God and His Son Jesus Christ in Heaven and has been from everlasting to everlasting. Notice with me the verse in 2 Corinthians 8:9) It tells us something about Jesus our Lord before He came into our world. It reveals to us clearly how He lived in Holy Sinless Heaven thru-out all eternity . Read and listen very carefully.
Verse 9) For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that THOUGH HE WAS RICH, yet for our sakes he became poor, (WHY?) This was a LIVING SACRIFICE HE MADE FOR OUR BENEFIT). Here is why by the Word of the Lord. So that we through his poverty (This living sacrifice of his wealth and wealthy life style that he gave up while He lived on earth) thru its own redeeming power and exalting might received in our lives by faith, we would be made RICH & WEALTHY. The 2 Greek words in this verse here means to be SUPPLIED RICHLY AND ABUNDANTLY; AND in the latter use of the word rich in the verse, that word means TO BE WEALTHY, TO BE MADE RICH .
The scriptures plainly tell us all that Jesus in His Greatest Sacrifice, by the Sacrifice of Himself, He put away sin. The scriptures also reveal to us that He did not die in vain but to have a great and enduring everlasting glorious effect of salvation on all them that believe and are justified by faith in His Blood now on earth and forevermore in glory. In this we all agree. But did you know the cross was not his only sacrifice that he made. It was His greatest of course, but it was not his only sacrifice.
We read above that though He was RICH, yet for OUR SAKES, OUR NEED, FOR OUR BLESSING, He became poor (By Choice as a living sacrifice of His Rich and Wealthy lifestyle which he has been enjoying for all eternity) he offered himself up unto God everyday as poor SO THAT, SO THAT, SO THAT. There was a reason for the SO THAT. So that we thru his poverty might be made rich. The might is there because not all will believe or receive Christ or believe and receive this part of His message and Good news. (Hebrews 4:1-2 can apply here)
I was rather startled when I first saw this light. It had never been taught to me growing up. It was a territory that I some how never grazed upon in the field of Gods plenteous Words on earth, the Bible.
So what am I saying here? Well I'm over the taboo teaching that being rich and wealthy is of the devil or that it is only evil. Now the devil has made a many a people rich in this world. This none of us can deny ( The Aleister Crowley Bunch). But that does not make being rich and wealthy automatically evil. For We read in our text above that Jesus lived in heaven wealthy and rich for all eternity and He nor the Father have sinned or are evil. They are more purer that the most whitest glistening snow.
We can also read in the scriptures where God also Himself on purpose made people wealthy and rich, and promised to do so EVEN FOR ALL OTHERS if they would hearken unto His voice, Delight in Him, Keep His Commandments, Trust and Obey (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). He made Adam & Eve Rich. Gave them all the earth and the fulness thereof. He made Abraham exremely rich and wealthy to establish the covenant of THE BLESSING POWER AND ENFORCEMENT, saying to Abraham in Blessing I will bless thee. Abraham confirmed this blessing (Genesis 13:2) & (Genesis 14:21 - 23) Abraham was confessing here that God was His Strength, His Source. That God was the one that made him rich and wealthy. Much like He did unto Solomon.
When God is your source, your supplier and you know in Covenant awareness that God is the one that prospered you and maketh you rich and wealthy as Abraham was aware of it and gave God the Glory, it is a Joy and a Thrill, not a curse or delusion. Just wait til you do get to heaven and see how wealthy you always have been since the day you were born a king in Christ Jesus, a son or daughter of the Most High God. It is just that as some have learned and partake of the riches of the glory of the forgiveness of sins thru Covenant knowledge and understanding in Christ Jesus. Even so others God has OPENED THEIR EYES to see and understand the other blessings and benefits of Christ manifold sacrifices for the blessings of God to come down from hevaen as Jesus did to earth and INTO THE HEART AND LIVES OF MAN. Jesus said, Pray that Gods will be done on earth even even even as it is in heaven. Only we in our shallow understanding limit how much Gods will is done on earth as it is in heaven. God has a will for every area of our lives, in the spirit, the soul and the bodies life. Amen.....more to come in the future.....deno....please share freely.
God Did Not Invent A Welfare System. He Provided Abundantly But Said, "Now Go, Till The Garden. Gather The Food. Prepare It. Eat it.
The bible tells us God is mindful of the sparrows to provide for them food. But the sparrow itself is responsible to go work in the fields of God's provisions and bring the food home to the children, prepare it and feed them. He did not start a welfare system of get and give not, or eat and work not........deno
2 Thessalonians 3:10....we command, that if a man does not work, neither should he eat.
Welfare can make even the most brilliant of minds unfruitful as wasted talent. It may be first received as a perceived blessing; but if stayed on and one becomes dependent on it like a drug, then it stifles the persons creative juices and their creativeness withers before God and man.....deno
Real love in the heart is the greatest motivator that exist. Real love for ones family, ones children, ones friends, or even for strangers and ones enemies will work in Loves dignity and honor to provide for their needs and blessings. Where ungodly love exist, fathers leave and neglect their families, children, loved ones, friends. They will also spit on the stranger and curse at their enemies. Ungodly love can leave its own child behind and not look back. He seeks nothing but his own game and pleasure at the cost of others feelings and pocket books. He struts with his mouth and walks haughty to hide his shame......deno
Now charity and sharing and helping to feed, cloth and shelter others in real need is good and can be godly. It's just that cons and the children of evil will take advantage of you by manipulating you, your love emotions, and the welfare system for their dishonest advantage and gain not caring to work with their hands in the thing that is good. It is called thievery for those who forgot that THOU SHALT NOT STEAL. Even in the church's storing up to help the needs of the church in Paul's day, some were laying back not helping, not working. They were taking dishonest advantage of the providing system going on in the church. Paul addressed this from the pulpit of his authority as a TRUE APOSTLE and said. Right is right and wrong is wrong- period. If you are not going to work and help. Then neither shall you be allowed to eat. He called them lazy. He even went as far as to say that if a man does not provide for his family honorably as in WORK. He has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel. Paul said that folks. This was his love message from the pulpit of his authority given him in Christ Jesus from Christ Jesus for he knew we all will stand before the Living God and give account of all our deeds both good and bad and answer for them. To let them trod down the lazy unfruitful lane is to pile up more dishonesty against them in the day of judgements when they stand before the God of perfect honesty and flawless integrity. I feel we should give them a work to do. Pay them for it and then supplement the rest. At least this way we help them in the day of judgements. Have mercy God. Have mercy.
A great percentage of our welfare checks and provisions from our charities are going out to those who are conning the system at the cost of our personal and national treasury, and at the cost of their own downfall and condemnation in the day they stand before God to account for themselves according to God's righteousness. God have Mercy. Have mercy.

AMAZING SONSHIP WE HAVE WITH THE FATHER........................ ......John
20:17) Jesus very freshly after His resurrection says to her, Mary
touch Me not, for I am not yet ascended unto My Father; but go and TELL
My Brothers & Sisters and SAY to them, I ascend unto MY FATHER and
YOUR FATHER; and to MY GOD and YOUR GOD. ( God is our Father even as He
is Jesus' Father, so saith the word of the Lord Himself. This is great
love speaking. This is John 17:23 MAGNIFIED.
1 John 3:1,2) Behold
what manner of love THE FATHER has bestowed UPON US that we should be
CALLED the SONS OF GOD.....2) Beloved NOW WE ARE THE SONS OF GOD.
Hebrews 2:9,10)...Jesus by the grace of God tasted death for every man
(all people) 10) For it was proper for Him, for whom are all things and
by whom all things were created in bringing MANY SONS UNTO GLORY
(DAUGHTERS TO)....
Hebrews 2:11,12,13)...Jesus is not ashamed to
call us His brothers and Sisters before the Father. The Father is not
ashamed to call us His Sons and Daughters, heirs of God and joint heirs
with Jesus. What an amazing redemption, salvation, sonship we all have
in Christ Jesus with the Father. As Jesus Said. in John 17:23, that they
would come to learn and to know that you love them EVEN AS YOU LOVE ME.
If we do not see thru the eyes of Christ and the Fathers love we will
grieve the glory given us in these scriptures (John 17:20-23) I stand in
awe of these scriptures of AMAZING GRACE AND LOVE GIVEN YOU AND I IN
CHRIST....deno
To Taste The Honey Of The Lord & Grace.....deno......please share freely.
If
you want to taste the HONEY that is in Christ Jesus. You know, THE
DEEPER RICHER THINGS of His joy, of His Oil of Gladness, and of the things in the kingdom of God, of He and the Fathers Presence, then you are going to
HAVE TO FIRST fight your way in Jesus Name thru all the bees. The RULERS of the DARKNESS of this world will fight against you inch by inch, thought against thought, word against word, faith against doubt, assurance against fear, darkness against light, lies and distortions against Gods Word of Truth. No way around this. Even so we are all called to stand against the wiles of the devil, resist him, tread upon his aching head, shout him out of the way in Jesus Name and keep pressing ONWARD and FORWARD from Christ Victory unto our victory manifested. For though darkness can be so great in this world, Even so greater light in those of the Lord. PRESS ON CHRISTIANS (Philippians 3:12-14)....Jesus
& deno. To God Be The Gory.
Why We Crave Drugs Of All Sorts.....deno
Adams
& Eves Spirits were so lively and full of heavenly vitality, they
hardly noticed their bodies. Life tasted SO DELICIOUSLY GOOD to their INWARD PARTS of the heart and soul that the rest of things, including their bodies, were just
add ons to the inward bliss and pleasure. They ran around naked,
laughing, giggling, rejoicing like little children in innocents. They
were created "Born Blessed" with every spiritual blessing in their inward
heavenly part and places. LIFE TASTED SO DELICIOUS......They lost that delicious spiritual
high, that great satisfaction. All that joy and gladness bliss. That is
why we crave delusional drugs. We are trying to put back in us that
which was lost. It is Satans counterfeit.......deno

Granpa Adam, Tell Me About The Good Old Days......deno
Adam
& Eve in their original design were not body or outward man minded.
They were inward man minded which is spiritual. Their spirit created in
righteousness and true holiness soared with incredible joy and
gladness in an inner life and inner atmosphere saturated with LOVE and
LIGHT. This made them in the inward parts fully satisfied in life. Life in their heart and soul tasted super delicious with the most pleasant flavors of joy, love, peace and delicious gladness of heart All this blinded them from being over body aware and over body
minded or self centered and selfish. They did not even know that they were naked. They did not even know
what being naked meant or being clothed meant for that matter. They
were totally free of any kind of guilt or shame or inferiority. THEY
WERE FREE. OH HOW THINGS HAVE SURELY CHANGED. GRANPA ADAM, tell me bout
the good old days. 2 Corinthians 5:16-17.
One day soon, when the Lord restores and refreshes all things (Acts 3:19), we to again shall be little body minded and mostly spirit minded. For to be flesh/carnal minded is death and vexation; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace (Romans 8:5-10). That truth is truth for now and for all eternity.......deno.....please share freely.

God Is Rich In Mercy. Receive Your Forgiveness.....deno
Friend, never forget that the Word of the Lord tells us that in Christ Jesus we have Redemption thru Christ blood, even THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS (Colossians 1:12-14). WE HAVE IT says the Lord. It is part of our redemption inheritance. It is part of the redeeming riches of His glory given us all freely by His most powerful sacrifice, by the sacrifice of Himself. It is written, By the sacrifice of Himself, Jesus overcame and put away sin. That is shouting territory.
Christ did not die in vain, but to make us rich in all His life's beauty, glory, goodness, love, joy, peace, and mercies, here and for all eternity. Rich in them one and all now and forevermore.
Friend God is rich in mercy. He is your Father in Christ. This makes you rich in the forgiveness of your sins. I don't care how bad your sin or sins are in your mind. Your rich Father is exceedingly abundantly far more richer in mercy and love than all the sin of all the world. So He most certainly can handle your and my sins, though they are many.
