Well the Bible says Christians will have persecution. “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” (2 Timothy 3:12) But it will not separate us from the love of Christ. (Romans 8:35) “Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.” (2 Cor 4:9)

Persecution is not a “feel good” Christian topic to talk about, but it is real and should not come as a surprise to us. I think we should be strong and courageous and know God is with us. I believe persecution only strengthens our relationship with the Lord, because it causes us to lean on Him and trust Him more.

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:10)

As far as applying the principles of growing prosperity in countries that have no wealth… well I would suggest that we all apply God’s principles, to the best of our ability, regardless where we live. We may live some where or be in a situation that seems impossible to us, but with God – Nothing is Impossible. The abundance of God is limitless. We should obey the Word, be good stewards, pray and cry out to the Lord, live by faith, etc. We do our part and God does His part, and ultimately God is in control and we need to be at peace with that.

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27)

As Christians, one of the greatest things we have been given is peace. Peace is something no one can take away and to me that is one of the greatest gifts God has prospered us with. We have peace knowing we have eternal salvation, Jesus Christ is our advocate, we are children of God, we have a Heavenly Father, we have the power of the Holy Spirit living within us, and more. In light of this, and eternal salvation, it make the cares of this world and our short time on it grow dim.

I read that the Greek and Hebrew definition of peace is prosperity. So what a great thing! As Christian believers and children of the Most High God, Jesus has given us His peace and we are already prospering in a way that no one can take away! Praise God! May we seek first the Kingdom of God and always be about our Father’s business. “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him.” (2 Chron 16:9)

God bless you,

I love that the Word of God is so exciting, and packed full of powerful principles & truths. It’s sad that so few Believers actually dig in and learn them and apply them to their lives.

What God has provided us has the ability to prosper us far above our greatest imaginations! No doubt about it, living the Word, changes lives!

Cheers & God Bless,
Brenda

I appreciate what you have to offer here. I was especially glad to see posts on the Law of Attraction. I wonder how many Believers understand how biblical it is. SMILE. Keep up the good work. Are you on Twitter/FB?

It seems that the inspiration from God to do the podcast, and the what to record is the easy part…
it is the “how to” actually create the recording that is the challenging part and growing process.
Hope to have the volume levels better balanced on future episodes.

Thanks for listening – God bless you – Cheers, Brenda

I love your podcast! What a wonderful gift, the God has chosen to use you. Thank you and to God be the glory. I don’t know if it is my computer??? But sometimes you background music drowns out your message. Your voice is so calming, it would be nice to hear less music and more you. Thank you again, Sienna

I’m glad you are enjoying the podcast and thanks for the 5 star rating on iTunes. My hope is to shine at least a little light in this online web that seems to be filled with so much darkness…

I would have never guessed even a year and a half ago that I would be doing this, but God gave me the inspiration, and then showed me the how, and continues to show me the what to record. I truly believe we not only need to reach out to the lost in a big way in these days, but that believers need to encourage each other in a big way, so that not one would fall out of the race…

Thanks again for taking the time to comment!

Cheers & God bless,
