Prosperity Seed, Part 2

The next seeds I want us to plant are Psalm 35:27, Psalm 34:1,3,8-10 and Psalm 40:16. We must know for certain that the Lord wants us to prosper before we can accept prosperity for ourselves personally.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause (have pleasure in my uprightness---Amplified Bible) : yes, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.

I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusts in him.
O fear the Lord, you his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
(That word “fear” here is not used in the sense of afraid but in the sense of worship, revere, honor.)
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.

We see from these scripture seeds that we are to magnify the Lord continually. We are to make Him larger than anything that is on this earth. Everyone knows what happens when you put a magnifying glass over something. It becomes greatly enlarged. Did you know that God is a God of enlargement? He is a God of increase and abundance. Since God is all good and all blessing, subtraction and decrease are not a part of His nature. Only multiplication, addition, increase, abundance is part of His nature. That is all He is. And that is what He intends for His children to be, if they are going to be like their Father.

The enemy satan has done a real number on all of us by making us think it is wrong to increase. Since that is all that God is, then if we are decreasing, there is something wrong with our relationship with Him. What we must do is not to get into condemnation and say that we will never succeed. We must say that we are succeeding, even when it looks like we are not in the natural. Success starts inside before it is produced on the outside. A prosperous attitude about all of life is created on the inside of every human being before it manifests on the outside.

We are to magnify the Lord. We are to rejoice in Him and be glad in Him. We are to shout for joy and be glad in the Lord. And here is what we are to say continually: Let the Lord be magnified, which has pleasure in my prosperity. What a wonderful life this is when we operate according to His word. I am sensing joy even as I type and read these two scripture seeds. I rejoice in my Lord and exalt Him and praise His name and extol Him and magnify Him in all the earth. What a wonderful Father we have. He is pleased when we prosper in every area of our lives.

Let’s not limit prosperity to the mammon of this earth. That is so miniscule and a tiny part of the prosperous life. The money, the mammon is so weak and feeble and ineffective without the hand of God on a person. Money is useless and foolishness in the hands of a man or woman without God. It is totally useless as far as God’s Kingdom is concerned. But in the hands of a child of God, who honors His Lord in all that He does, money is an earthly tool that will do a job for us. You see, money is nothing more than a tool. That is all that it is. And we must see it that way. It has no life. What appears to be life in it is just satan attempting to make it take on importance. It has no importance except in the hands of God’s child.

Oh, if I can only get you to see this. Without the hand of God on anything in our lives, it is empty and useless. More and more I am sensing the absolute totality of God wanting to be involved in everything I think and say and do, even the earthly duties I perform. He wants to be involved in all of us----spirit, soul, body, socially, financially.

For example, as I am typing this Pearls of Wisdom, I am looking out my window and seeing snowflakes falling. They are so different in shape as I observe them. What does that have to do with prosperity, you may ask? My soul is prospering. God is giving me the pleasure of seeing the intricacies of His creation. And He is taking pleasure in my joy. That is prosperity. Do you see what I am attempting to convey to you about prosperity? Take your mind off the money part of it and see the vast open space of prosperity that we have not even tapped into.

It appears that the Lord wants us to dwell here in this land for a few days as He has given me more scripture seeds for tomorrow.
