Happiness is a state of mind. It's that overwhelming sensation that everything is going to work out.

You’re welcome…and I suppose that the Bible does warn us that in the last days people will only preach what ‘tickles the ears’

Yes, it does. And I’ve found that one major blindspot is getting the message acrosd to SO many of them that while GIVING is clearly taught to the Church, the fact is that nowhere in the New Covenant is “tithing” so much as mntioned once. FACT! … It will be interesting to see how many brave souls will have the backbone to honedtly post here. Keep up the good work. God will bless you for it. 🙂 Thanks much. Later… ❤

I would agree; I’m not a prosperity fan either. But God does bless some people with wealth because He knows their hearts and faithfulness. However, I have to disagree with you a little. I do not like confrontation or debate. I’m the first to run in the other direction.
I seek peace in all things, so please do not read any kind of attitude into this. It is very difficult to write on the internet as an attitude can sometimes be detected where none exists. This is just a friendly comment.
I have listened to Joyce Meyer for years and I have never heard her preach on prosperity. The sentence you quoted is not about prosperity. We need to be careful not to take a sentence out of context and build an opinion on it. (Oh, and she is not a mega church preacher. She has no church. She is an evangelist.)
Yes, God does want each of us to have “an exciting, amazing life.” I think we can agree that nowhere in the Bible does God tell us we are to have a depressing life lacking in necessities, though we may go through times like this. He desires that we seek Him, follow His will, give to others, and live in faith and peace, which all constitutes an exciting, amazing life.
I think maybe you do not know all that Joyce went through to get where she is now. In her early years, she could barely pay her bills and feed her kids, but she has been faithful to the Lord and He has blessed her efforts. It is not from any prosperity gospel she has preached.
We need to be careful of judging the life of another when only God knows the person’s heart and blesses as He sees fit.
Again, I agree with your last sentence: I wonder, will they be found lacking with utterly poor and bankrupt souls? This is so true. I cannot imagine living this kind of lifestyle. Blessings to you! 😀
