CHAPTER 1
This chapter will revitalize, enlighten and encourage you with scriptures that will empower you with self-assurance, wisdom and knowledge from God's word stating you are supposed to walk in wealth on earth. Enabling you to perceive the Lord as the ultimate source to revealing your purpose, wealth and prosperity. The Lord is the principal source to show you the way to get your wealth. It will simply change your mind-set.
BE CONFIDENT ... YES ... THE HEAVENLY FATHER GOD WANTS YOU TO PROSPER IN WEALTH ON EARTH!
Ecclesiastes 10:19KJV ... ... but money answereth All things.
Isaiah 48:17KJV
Thus, says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.
*God teaches and expects us to profit on earth. It is imperative for you to find out your purpose on earth, then act in it moving forward. This is when the Holy Spirit will start showing you secrets. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter, the third person of the trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Do you remember when Jesus said, I will send you a Comforter (helper)? (a) The way to connect with Him is by praying in the Spirit without ceasing. My experience is whenever I start praying in the Holy Spirit my soul gets energized and the Lord truly does start communicating to me. He is so awesome! The Heavenly Father operates in the heavenly dimension "the secret place", this is where Jesus loves to meet with us. I call it my prayer closet. We have to worship Him in the spirit realm through Jesus Christ who is the only way to get the Father's attention. Talking to God is as simple as if you are having a conversation with your best friend. You start by having a personal relationship with the Lord, entering into His presence with thanksgiving, praise and worship. (b) This is the key).

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth.
(*I simply take God at His word. I confess daily great health and wealth over my family and me. The bible is His word and it works. He said His word will not return back to Him cancelled (a) and He cannot lie (b). Without faith it is impossible to please Him (c). When you talk with the Lord, by faith, allow your heart and mind to open, believe and trust His word. He truly will hear and answer your prayer, sometimes immediately. Do not doubt. He is waiting on you to ask, then He will answer.)

CHAPTER 2
HOW TO MANAGE WEALTH WHILE IN ABUNDANT LIVING
This chapter will provide you with scriptures on wisdom, knowledge and understanding to plan and to manage wealth through God's word. It will enlighten and instruct you on how to manage your daily life and financial affairs. Again, letting you witness from the Almighty that the abundant (money) life is for you. But avoid the love of money, meaning do not let it control you by causing you to do evil. God is love. By managing wealth through God's eyes, you will not fail because His instructions are perfect. I am a witness that He will reveal secret ways to managing wealth and you will always succeed. His word says, "Every place that the sole of your foot tread upon, have I given that unto you!" ( Scripture reference Joshua 1:3)
HOW TO MANAGE WEALTH IN ABUNDANT LIVING
Deuteronomy 8:18KJV
18But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Proverbs 10:22KJV
The blessing of the Lord it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it.

A few years later after that incident God blessed me beyond my imagination with a home in a great community. One day that previous house situation came back to my memory, and I heard a voice say, the blessings from the Lord He make rich and add no sorrow to them. It was as if the Holy Spirit reminded me of that experience to illustrate this scripture. The other house was no comparison to my new house.)
Proverbs 12:11KJV
11He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

Ecclesiastes 2:26KJV
For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Luke 12:15KJV
And He said unto them, "Take heed, and beware of covetousness, for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

Proverbs 21:5KJV
The thoughts (*plans) of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

I learned from the bible the importance of planning. After you come into your known purpose on earth you must plan properly and thoroughly to bring it to life. There are many bible parables of planning. You must create a business plan to see a clear route in order to succeed in earthly business. Your wealthy place on earth was already predestined by God before you got here.)
Psalm 40:5KJV
Many, O LORD my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts (*plans) which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto Thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than could be numbered.

* * *
