What you consistently put in your
heart will determine whether you
walk in victory or defeat.
(Prov. 4:22)
Staying continually in the Word
liberates you from the bondage
of the devil.
(John 8:31-32)
You fi ll your heart with the Word
by listening to it and looking at
it every day.
(Prov. 4:20-21)
As you feed on the Word and listen
to God's voice, the fruit of the spirit
fl ow out of you and overcome the
law of sin and death.
(Gal. 5:22-23)
Time spent with God is never wasted,
it always pays rich dividends.
(Gal. 6:7-8)
Don't ever make the mistake of thinking
you're too busy to spend time in the Word of
God. The truth is, you can't a• ord
not to spend time in it.
Even if you've walked with the Lord for
years, you can't a• ord to rest on your
spiritual laurels and just try to live on the
Word you heard in the past.
That's a dangerous way to operate!
Put the Word of God fi rst place!

Lazarus from the dead. He showed emotions,
but He was not moved or controlled by them.
The world's defi nition of physical prosperity
(prosperity of the senses) includes gold, silver,
fi nancial favor or power, political favor or
power, and social favor or power. The world's
defi nition of mental prosperity (prosperity
of the soul) is "knowing it all." Put these two
ideas together and you have a person who
can use his mind to get fi nancial and political
power. This is the world's total concept of
prosperity. Wealth and power cannot answer
every problem. Money makes a lousy god! It
can't buy good health or prevent sickness and
disease from taking over the human body.
Yes, it can go toward buying it, but the world's
system of healing just isn't good enough.
In the mental realm, a person can have all
the facts in his head and not have the ability
to use that knowledge to obtain the money or
the health he needs. You can be born again,
even fi lled with the Holy Spirit, and still not
be prosperous in your soul. What produces
spiritual, mental and physical prosperity?
What brings all these areas together?
The WORD of God.
The Bible says in Hebrews 4:12 that The
WORD is alive, powerful and sharper than
a two-edged sword. It divides the soul and
the spirit, the joints and the marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart. When you are walking in The WORD of
God, you will prosper and be in health.
God's will is for us to be made whole—spirit,
soul and body—and to stay that way until
the return of our LORD Jesus Christ (see
1 Thessalonians 5:23). As you walk in the light
of God's WORD, you will become prosperous
in every area of your life.
You should
be prospering
in all three areas:
spiritually, mentally
and physically."
