Deuteronomy 28:2 (NIV)
2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:

Galatians 3:10-11 (NIV)
10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 11 Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.

Did you read the blessings of the Old Covenant – not the “better” covenant founded on better promises, but the Old Covenant? Yahoo! We see in Deut. 28 the plan of God for our lives! Nine different “blessings”, two promises of victory, twelve promises prosperity, (how can anybody say it is not God’s will to prosper us?) with more and more revelation about what God wants to do with us. How awesome is God’s plan for us!

The awesome thing is that we inherit all of it IN Christ BY faith. Some would say, “if it is God’s will then why don’t we have it?” There are a few reasons for this, but the first one is that we don’t believe! (Does Jesus want your unsaved friend to get saved? Of course! Why isn’t he? He doesn’t believe.) Will anyone join with me and stop believing the lie that our lot in life is relegated to “just getting by” and begin to believe in our hearts and therefore confess with our mouths that it is God’s will to prosper us in all things?!

Thank you God for my abundant provision! Thank you for all my material goods, houses, cars, food and the like. Thank you so much for my family, my wife, my children and my friends! Thank you for the abundant love and mercy I have to give them. Thank you for the abundant joy I have to show the world your glory and your strength! I have abundance!
