Pray, then listen. God will lead you. It takes practice to learn to be led by God’s Spirit. Quiet your mind, do not try to figure things out mentally. Turn inward and acknowledge the Holy Spirit. He abides in you and will show you what to do as you practice turning to the Holy Spirit will become your first response.

God never designed you to live paycheck to paycheck. His plan is overflow—where your needs are met and you have more to give. Faith begins when you know His will, and His will is clear: you are meant to prosper.

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. - 3 John 2

Some people have the idea that walking in tune with God means that He will always require them to do without the things they desire. They think they can never expect anything good from Him, but this is not true. God's mercy extends to the things we want as well as to our personal needs. He longs to give us more than what we could wish for ourselves. Even our ability to ask Him for things is not as great as what He yearns to give to us.
God wants to provide for us in abundance so that we can have plenty forourselves and plenty to share with others. It is His desire that we align ourselves spiritually with Him, so He can use us as channels to bless others. God knows that prosperity will ruin the one who trusts in his own thinking. The fool will squander what God has given him on his own lusts and forget that God was the one who gave him power to receive it, so God is waiting for us to get our mind and will lined up with the mind and will of the Spirit. When our desires run in the same direction as His, He can give to us without having it hurt us.

James 1:2-4 expresses the will of God concerning us. It says,But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire,wanting nothing.It is His desire that we experience no lack in receiving the things we desire.
And Psalm 23 reflects this same thought. Verse one says,The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.As our Shepherd, Jesus has invited us to a banquet table laid out in the presence of the devil and all of hell where we can feast upon the provisions of His tender mercies.
Psalm 23:5,6 says,Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Jesus is not talking about the marriage supper of the Lamb or any heavenly feast because none of our enemies are present in heaven. He is referring to an earthly celebration where we can come and feed on the meat of God's Word at His table. We come to that banquet by an act of our will, by faith. Verse four 2H
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
Instead of enjoying the tremendous feast, most people want to get underneath the banquet table and eat the crumbs because they feel so undeserving. God has trouble in getting them to receive what He has provided. They forget that although Jesus is the only one worthy of being there, He has extended His mercy
to us and paid the price that we might eat with Him.
Remember what Psalm 23 says,
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Can you see what God is saying? It is a sure thing that His mercy and goodness will follow us. His mercy is with us through the good and the bad in our lives, and if His mercy is continually following us, then think how easy it is for us to stop and embrace it.

ORAL ROBERT'S GREATEST DISCOVERY.
During Oral’s time of searching the Gospels and also the rest of the New Testament, a verse leapt off of the page and into his spirit. It was the second verse of 3 John: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” Oral read the words again and was astounded. In the early Pentecostal church, poverty was often worn as an “honor badge” for the Lord. In all of his reading of the Bible, Oral had never grasped that Scripture verse before. He was certain that those words were for him—the answer to his questions about God’s desires for His children.
He had questions such as, Does God bring poverty and sickness into our lives, as so many in the church believe? Does God want His children to be delivered in soul, mind, and body? As Oral joyously shared 3 John 2 with Evelyn, he declared, “Evelyn, we have it wrong. I haven’t been preaching that God is a good God.”
Oral realized that true healing and prosperity begin in the soul of man but then move into his physical body, as well. As God desires a man to be well and strong in his inner man, He also desires his daily life to prosper. For Oral Roberts, this was a life-changing revelation.

Three other Scriptures began to revolutionize Oral’s way of thinking. The first was Acts 10:38: “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Jesus went about doing good and not evil throughout His ministry, healing all of those who were oppressed by the devil. How well Oral now remembered Brother Moncey commanding the disease of tuberculosis to come out of him!
The next eye-opening Scripture was Luke 9:56: “For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” Jesus came to save men’s lives from all that the devil wanted to afflict them with, including poverty and disease.
The final Scripture discovery Oral made was perhaps the greatest of all. It was the statement of Jesus in the gospel of John: “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). At last, Oral had a real foundation for his faith. God was a good God who had come for the redemption of all of mankind. Oral could come to God and believe He was a good God who desired to see His people set free!
Oral Roberts’s personal reaction to those scriptural truths was undeniable: “A thrill came in my soul that I still feel. A fire began to burn....I had an understanding of Jesus Christ that would thrill the world.”

In the denomination I'd been brought up in, we were taught that it was wrong to have anything. I began my ministry in this particular denomination, and they were great about praying for the pastor: "Lord, You keep him humble, and we'll keep him poor." And they thought they were doing God a favor!

Then in 1937, I was baptized in the Holy Ghost and spoke with other tongues. I got the "left foot of fellowship" from my denomination and came over among the Pentecostals. They were doubly that way about praying for the pastor. In other words, they doubled up on their praying: "Lord, You keep him humble, and we'll keep him poor"!

What Does God's Word Say?
The idea that God wants His children poor, having no material things, is totally unscriptural. The Bible has a great deal to say about money—about receiving it to meet personal needs and giving it to support the work of God and to bless others.
It is significant that many of God's servants throughout the Bible were wealthy. I'm not talking about just being spiritually prosperous, either. I mean financially rich! The Bible says, "And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold" (Gen. 13:2). That verse doesn't require much interpretation, does it?

First Kings chapter 10 tells of the queen of Sheba coming to visit King Solomon to see if he was as wise and great as she had heard. After testing him, asking many hard questions, she told him, "Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard" (1 Kings 10:7).
Job was also very wealthy. God's Word says, "His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east" (Job 1:3). During the trials and suffering he endured, Job lost his great wealth. But God restored Job's riches! How do I know? The Bible says, "So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses (Job 42:12).

In Second Chronicles 26:5, we read that as long as King Uzziah sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. It seems clear that God is not against prosperity; otherwise, He would have been violating His own principles when He prospered Uzziah and others.

It is important to realize that God is not against wealth and prosperity. But He is against people being covetous.

Have you ever heard someone say, “I was barred from joining the team”? It means he was prevented, kept out, blocked, or disallowed from joining the team. That’s how the Bible tells you to guard your heart, by barring (disallowing, keeping out) all thoughts that are not consistent with God’s Word.

Now, this doesn’t sound like the evil thoughts
are originating from you, does it? What it simply shows is that there’s a devil out there trying to send the wrong thoughts into your heart (through your mind). So you’re admonished to bar his evil thoughts and banish his wayward words.

If someone says something to you that challenges God’s Word, bar it from your mind! Don’t try to accommodate it or reason it out. The Bible says to guard your heart with all diligence, so you must recognise that God is not going to guard your heart for you. The responsibility is yours. But the good news is
that you’re not helpless as to what to do. You’ve been equipped with “the whole armour of God” (Ephesians 6:11), and what you need to do is put it on and never take it off! With your armour in place, you’ll be able to bar every evil thought or idea against God’s Word that
tries to assault your mind.

God didn’t just instruct us to mount guard at the door of our hearts and disallow anything from passing through that shouldn’t; He also shows us exactly how to place that guard over our minds—by choosing thethoughts we allow passage. In other words, He didn’t justtell us to renew our minds without showing us how.
He told us the files to delete from our minds and the new ones to download and replace them with.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are
TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST,
whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever
things are PURE, whatsoever things are
LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD
REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if
there be any PRAISE, think on these
things” (Philippians 4:8).

How remarkable this is! It immediately shows
us God’s yardstick for measuring good thoughts.
It says whatever things are consistent with truth [God’s Word], excellent, lovely, of good report,and praiseworthy, focus your mind on these. In other words, let these thoughts occupy your mind and control your thinking-process.

"Your Imaginative Ability is Your Creative Ability"
~Prophet Uebert Angel

In the realm of the Spirit, imagination is not a game of the mind—it is the womb of creation. What you vividly imagine is what you give permission to manifest.

You might wonder, how does imagination connect to spiritual things?

Ephesians 3:20 declares that God is able to do “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Notice—it’s not only what you ask, but also what you think.

This means your imaginative ability is directly tied to your creative ability. When you speak in tongues, but fail to see yourself walking into that new job, owning that house, or healing that sickness, you are missing the full effect. Speaking in tongues activates the power, but imagination gives it direction.

The Hebrew word yetser (formation) shows us that imagination is how you frame your world. If you cannot see it within, you will never live it without.

So, engage your imagination with the Word. See yourself prospering, see yourself healed, see yourself victorious. Because what you imagine in God, you will surely create.
