Today’s Scripture: Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2 NKJ
Can you feel the prosperity in your soul? When I read these words of 1John I know what he is speaking of. I struggle to wrap words around it but this is the prosperity I want to share.
God has given us so much. He first loved us. We are filled with His love. He sent Jesus to us so we could believe and be cleansed of our sins. He gave us His Spirit. Can we grasp what John tells us in 1 John 4:13 “By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.”
We have God’s Spirit in us, how much more prosperous can you get than that?
Does your soul prosper?
Like John, my joy is complete and all I want to do is share what I have seen and heard so others may know this joy and this prosperity.
Today’s Prayer: LORD God, thank You for filling my soul with Your love and Your Spirit. Help me to share this prosperity to those who have yet to know the fullness of Your love and joy. Please give me the words and the ways to make Your way known so other souls may prosper. Amen

How many times in the past have I prayed to prosper? I never realized that in my outward needs God was in fact prospering my soul. I agree with you today in prayer Tom, to be allowed to share the extravagant love and prosperity that the Father has poured out on me.

Amen Robin, the world teaches one type of prosperity but God reveals a soul prosperity that will live forever and ever and provide abundant love to all others. Blessings and prosperity my friend!

Tom, Right on Track! As we discussed about “making tents”, the Lord claims and gives you an answer to a question you proposed to me. It says” Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health,” even as your soul prospers.
It does not say that you will prosper, or your soul will prosper, it says they will happen at the same time.
In His grip;
Bobby
