He helps your needs not your greeds. But I will have to say Faith is Powerful. I would pray for saturday overtime for fellow workers who needed the money. We would pray together (Protestant or Catholic) act of contrition then ask for the request then thank Jesus for results. I would then say I am combining your faith with my faith. That man would be at the bottom of the list for over time and still get called in on sudden work on saturday. Not kidding. James1:6” But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.” There is a spiritual priniciple but The prosperity gospel is ungodly overkill. God wants you rich is top grade baloney. Needs are met!
Romans 5:2-6
2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
I believe with all my heart the saying I have on my tagline, "God is ready to assume full responsibility for the life wholly yielded to him." Like Paul, I know what it's like to have a lot and to have nothing, I have been hungry and pennyless - but I'm still kickin' - and I have learned that "in whatever state I am therewith to be content.". Now some folks read that and say it only proves Paul wasn't from Texas. ;o) Me...I know where he's coming from and faith only grows when it's tested. He promises me he will never leave me or forsake me - that is the promise - and it doesn't mean I will always be warm and well fed and happy. That is the lesson these "Prosperity" preachers cheat their followers out of and that is what they will answer to God about.
