Even though your Heavenly Father is The Most High of too much, He isn’t the One who controls how blessed you are in this life, you do. The Most High has already done everything He is ever going to do to provide your abundance. He has given you His Word, and His promises are yea and amen.
Two Sides of God’s Promises
You see, the issue is no longer what The Most High can do for us. He has already provided for every need. Just as surely as Yeshua died on the crucifixion stake so our sins could be forgiven, he also died on the cross so you and I could be redeemed from the curse of poverty. Now the issue is what you and I must do to be more than conquerors.
To Him That Overcometh
Yeshua said that experiencing victory in life is our own responsibility: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne” (Revelation 3:21)
The Most High won’t ask you to do something you can’t do. For example, He wouldn’t tell you to become a bird, because there is no way you could do it. The Most High will only tell you to be something that you can be. So if Yeshua said you can be an overcomer, you can!
Not only can you be a conqueror in life, but you can be more than a conqueror! You can overcome every yoke that binds you and every symptom of lack that threatens your financial security. You can overcome every one of the enemy’s strategies to steal, kill, and destroy The Most High’s blessings in your life.
You see, we do not need to change in some situations. One good definition of insanity id “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” So you must think differently, act differently and speak differently if you want your problems to change.
So if you experience financial problems, don’t wait for Yeshua to do your overcoming for you. Humble yourself before The Most High and say, “Lord, what am I doing wrong? Whatever it is, I’m willing to change. Show me what to do differently.” That’s always your first step to overcoming.
The Prosperous Soul
So our first step is knowing it’s up to us to overcome poverty and lack in our lives. But what is the next step we take towards accomplishing that? We find an important key in something the Apostle John wrote to believers: “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” (3 John 2)
What then does John mean here? “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things…” One of the meanings of the word prosper is a progression or a journey. The Most High wants us to keep moving forward moment by moment, year by year out of our limitations. In any area of life, if we’re not in a better place today than we were six months ago, then we’re not prospering in that area.
Notice John doesn’t say we are to prosper or progress in two or three areas only. No, we are to prosper in all areas of our lives-physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially. You see, prosperity is not just an abundant supply of money, although it does include that. But many in the world possess great riches and still don’t find happiness. True prosperity is success in every area of life, including finding happiness. But then John offers the conditions: “prosper… and be in health, JUST AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS.” That’s talking about the measure of The Most High’s Word that you’re actually living, not just the number of Scriptures you know. If your soul isn’t prospering, don’t expect your pocketbook to prosper. You, see if you become financially prosperous without developing corresponding soulish prosperity, you may eventually lose your wealth because you may not understand the spiritual laws and principles that affect the financial realm.
The Most High wants to make sure you don’t change your focus as you become prosperous. Therefore, it’s His will that the prosperity in your pocketbook grows in proportion to the prosperity in your soul.
Man in Three Parts: Spirit, Soul and Body
In order to learn how the soul is to prosper in proportion to our finances it is important to understand the three parts of man: spirit, soul, and body.
Remember, I said there is a man-ward side and a Most High-ward side to every promise from the Most High. Until we fulfill the man-ward side, we won't see the Most High-ward part of the promise manifested in our lives. But if we do our part, the Most High does His.
So what is the man-ward part according to 3 John 2? How do you make your soul prosper? To answer those questions according to the Word of the Most High, you first must understand the three part nature of man. 1 Thess. 5:23 says may your Spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete and found blameless at the coming of the Yeshua, the Messiah.
This scripture indicates we are spirit beings who live in a physical body and have a soul. The body is nothing more than the outward clothing we wear during this earthly life.
You see, the Bible says that the Most High creates man in His own image, Gen. 1:26 the Most High is a spirit John 4:23-24, so if He created us in His image, then we also are spirit beings.
Renew Your Mind by the Word
For far too long, Fiveamprayer we have allowed our bodies to dominate us, telling us what to do and when to do it. So how do we both take control of our bodies and cause our souls to prosper? We do it by renewing our minds according to Romans 12:2.
To be in the perfect will of the Most High, you must learn to dominate your body through renewing your mind. Renewing your mind is essential because unless you do, you won't perceive what His will is! And how can your soul prosper when you are not walking in the light of His perfect will?
You see, revelation must cause a revolution. You have not truly received revelation from His word unless it has caused a revolution in the way you think, act and speak.
No matter how you were raised, the word of the Most High should completely determine your thought life--not experience or circumstances. You must think in line with His word in order to cause your soul to prosper.
That's why so many kingdom citizens continue to think the same way they did before they crossed over. All due to not having a renewed mind, and making the wrong decisions which adversely affect their souls' prospering.
A regular diet of the word is more important than your natural food that you eat. The Holy Spirit is your teacher and guide, He desires to direct you in every move in life. But He has a tough job when there is very little Word in your heart to bring to remembrance. His ability, your diligence to renew your mind by feeding on the Most High's word.
Until you get serious and commit yourself to renewing your mind with the word, your will be like the average believer who can quote lots of scriptures but just don't ask them to live them!
The only way you can walk in the light of the truth you know regarding financial increase and your soul's prospering is to change the way you think. And there is only one way you can do that by renewing your mind with the word of the Most High.
The Deciding Vote
With every daily decision, the three parts of our nature, spirit, body and soul conduct a voting process on the inside of us.
Now that simple formula for success is this learn to make every decision the right one. When we make right decisions to go to the right school, marry the right person, get the right job, start the right business at the right time is is easy to succeed. The problem is, often we make wrong decisions, we don't even know why.
So in order to be successful in life--to prosper just as our soul prospers, we have to know how this decision process works on the inside of us. Here's what happens, in any given situation the spirit man says I want to do this in line with the word. But the flesh says, no I want to do it my way!
Then there is the soul or mind. Whichever way the mind votes determines the outcome of the decision, because the third vote creates a majority.
If your mind decides, I want to go with how my body feels and then you make decisions based on what your flesh and mind have decided and you won't walk in the realm of the spirit.
You see, your financial success is not determined by your circumstances but by your response to circumstances. In a sense, it doesn’t matter what is going on around you, you can still succeed. It makes no difference whether or not your pocketbook or bank account is empty; you can still become prosperous.
What I mean simply is this. If you respond to decisions according to the flesh, you will remain in the natural realm, where circumstances can defeat you. But if you will renew your mind with The Most High’s Word in order to respond according to the ways of the Spirit, you will always triumph over the circumstances of life as an overcomer.
Making Right Decisions with Your Finances
When you get a revelation that your financial success totally pivots on the renewal of your mind, you’ll study the Word daily! It’s most important step you will take on the road to prosperity. It’s the man-ward side to fulfilling The Most High’s promises in your life.
So feed on the Word, renew your mind and change your thinking. Refuse to let anything keep you from the Word of The Most High, because only the Word will change your life and help you walk in The Most High’s victory for you. The Most High has given you everything you need to prosper- now your prosperity is up to you!
Shema Selah we have to renew our minds with His word that we walk out His instructions!!
