DAY 12 | PRAY FOR YOUR COMPLETE HEALTH AND FINANCIAL BREAKTHROUGH

Pastor Lee Ferguson | Word of Faith, Southfield, MI

This is Pastor Lee Ferguson, day 12 of the 30 days of prayer and today we're going to focus on having complete health and financial breakthrough. Why is this important for us as believers? God's desire for us is to have great health and for us to be prosperous in our finances. Why is that the case? We are supposed to be representations of Him. We're supposed to be representing the Kingdom of God. So we are the light of the world and if we are to minister to people who don't know anything about Jesus, they are in the dark, they are lost and they look at our life and they see that our bodies are full of sickness, we are dealing with poverty issues, we can't afford to pay our bills. Is that true? Is that a true representation of Jesus Christ? I submit to you that is not a true representation of Jesus. If we are the light of the world and we are supposed to be like the Christ, Jesus didn't have any issues with His health. Jesus certainly didn't have any issues with His money or His finances. What does the Bible say about God's desire for His children? In 3 John 2 it says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” The word prosper in this context doesn't mean prosperity. The Greek word is actually euodoo which means to be on a good journey, to be on a journey of faith. God wants to put you on a good journey. He wants you to be successful in your health. He wants you to be successful in your finances and He has placed you on a good journey. So we are walking this saying every day, one day at a time, one step at a time. But the journey of faith isn't something that is absolutely instant. There are things that you have to do. You have to do things in your body. We believe that the Word of God is true. God can't lie. But we have to take care of our bodies. We have to take care of our health. If we are eating bad food, we can't expect us to have longevity in our health - if we are continually consuming bad food. If we are using credit cards and using debt to pay for things, we can't expect God to bless us in our finances. So even though the Word of God is true, there are things that you and I must do to be able to walk on this good journey of faith so that we can have good health and we can be prosperous in our finances. God's desire for you is to prosper, not just in your finances. He wants you to prosper spiritually. He wants you to prosper physically. He wants you to prosper mentally and emotionally. This is God's desire for His children. So if you're watching this right now, my prayer for us today is that we come into alignment with God's Word, that He wants us to prosper in every area of our life and also to take accountability for the actions and decisions and the choices we make so that we can be healthy, we can be prosperous in our finances, we can take care of our families, we can take care of ourselves in our bodies, in our health, in our spiritual walk with God, in our emotions and in our finances because God wants you to prosper in every area of your life and He wants you to experience financial breakthrough and He wants you to be healthy, strong and well in Jesus name.
