God's desire is to lavish so much peace and prosperity on His people that the world takes notice.

Some think this statement is heresy, yet it is what God Himself said in Jeremiah 33.

One of the most debated topics in modern Christianity is prosperity. There is endless criticism towards ministers who preach that God wants you to prosper.

Interestingly, the critics of prosperity are often self-righteous in their approach. And even more shocking is how they are generally well-off themselves. They just don't think any Christian should go above their level of wealth.

Oh, hello coveteousness. Which, by the way, anytime we involve ourselves in someone else's finances, it is rooted in covetousness.

God's desire for His people to be wealthy is all over the Bible. It's in the Old Testament. It's in the New Testament. It's everywhere.

God is not against Christians being wealthy. He is against us trusting money.

And let me let you in on a little secret. You don't have to have a lot of money to trust money.

Actually, when it runs out is when you find out who you really trust. If you panic, your trust is in money. If you pray a faith-filled prayer to God about Him taking care of your needs, your trust is in Him.

So, it's time to stop trusting money, and it's time to stop resisting wealth. God wants us to be so prosperous that the world takes notice.
