Prosperity

Most of us want to experience "prosperity."

When you hear the word prosperity, what word pictures or feelings do you imagine?

Pictures of success, peace, well-being translating into positive feelings.

Well, you may not have warm, fuzzy feelings right now, but I have good news for you!

Did you know that our Creator has plans to prosper us and not to harm us? He has plans to give us hope and a future. That's what His Living Word tells us in Jeremiah 29:11!

The Hebrew word for prosperity means completeness and wholeness.

Our Lord wants to heal us and make us whole in every area of our lives!

How do we experience healing and wholeness? Ask Him and thank Him for making us whole!

Better yet, why don't we ask Him and thank Him now?

Lord, we ask You and thank You for healing us and making us whole today! Heal our emotional and physical pain. Touch us with Your Healing Hands. Transform our hurt into healing, our pain into peace and our problems into possibilities. We thank You for giving us Your wholeness!

My friend, receive Him and His peace and His prosperity today! Receive His blessings! Let His presence, His Provision and His Protection be yours today!

Failure: Your Best Friend or Your Worst Enemy

Failure. What do you think of when you read or hear the word? I used to feel it was something that I was to avoid at all costs. Looking good was my goal.

Now I see failure as my best friend. If I never make a mistake, I can't learn or grow.

It's not what happens to me, but how I reflect on it.

I am learning to enjoy how to fail well. After all, I can either enjoy the process or be destroyed by it.

I choose life. I'm tired and worn out with performance as the barometer of my state of being. I'm burned out with religion. I am learning to live out of my state of being.

The who before the what. I love my wife my son and my friends with the who first.

Our Creator made me and He deeply loves me, completely accepts me and fully values me. He feels the same way about you!

Failure. Your best friend or your worst enemy. How do you deal with failure?
