Poverty is a Curse-- Find Prosperity in Christ

I do not condemn the homeless.

Yet  I have also learned, and the hard way, at that, that if we do not find a home of peace within ourselves, then no matter what we do, or where we go, we will not find a home worth staying in.

Life is all about prospering on the inside, then prospering on the outside.

I believe that if we really want to help people break free of homelessness, we have to start by prospering individuals on the inside.

The Word of God prospers us!

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. " (3 John 2)

I still remember one woman whom I met outside of a grocery store.

This woman was asking people for money. I gave her a tract with the Word of God on it.

"This is better than money!" she told me. She esteemed God's Word more than food or drink.

An hour later, I walked back, going by the same store, and the same lady had two bags full of groceries with her.

Prosper on the inside, and you will indeed prosper on the outside!

Poverty is a part of the curse. Men and women in poverty can break free by faith -- believing on God the Father, that through Him all things indeed can be made ready and available for us.

When every person learns who they are in Christ, they will believe in the goodness that He wants each of us to have, and when we believe, then we can pray and receive these things.

Otherwise, giving an impoverished man wealth and food and clothing without prospering his "inside" is to invite greater misery in the future for the man who in a matter of time will be right back to where he started.

Poverty is a curse -- Prosperity is in Christ, who took the curse for us (Galatians 3: 13).
