God has already made provision for us in every area of life. He created enough abundance for all mankind. Yet many Christians struggle with financial problems. But the problem is not that God is withholding from us.
Throughout the New Testament, we are told God has already given us everything we need, for example see: 2 Peter 1:3, Romans 8:17, Romans 8:32, Galatians 4:7, Ephesians 1:3. The problem is that we've been allowing the devil to steal what belongs to us. We must quit allowing this to happen. We must stand in faith and claim what is ours. After all, Jesus paid a great price for us to have it! Jesus came to redeem us from the control of the devil and set us free from the curse. Jesus paid the price for us to have abundant blessing in every area of life. Jesus' suffering brought us peace. Peace shalom means wholeness, nothing missing, nothing
broken, nothing wrong. It definitely includes the idea of prosperity every need met and having more than enough. Jesus suffered so you could have this shalom peace and prosperity. Part of the curse that Jesus redeemed you from is poverty. And what a curse poverty is! It causes misery, disease, ruined lives, and destroyed families. The devil has tried to convince Christians that poverty is a blessing because it will make you humble and more godly. While it is true that many rich people are arrogant and ungodly, that does not automatically mean being poor makes you godly. On the contrary, God is the richest being in the universe, and riches have not corrupted Him. The devil is a thief. He has stolen money that belongs to you. You need to say, "That's mine! Jesus paid for me to have abundant provision. Turn loose of it devil!" That is what I mean by claiming prosperity. After you receive legal notice that something is yours, you can claim it whenever you desire. God's Word is our legal notice of what belongs to us as a gift because of the wonderful grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. It's time we quit letting the devil steal what belongs to us.
But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).
