Prospering in all you do

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.  Psa. 1

Everything you do will "prosper" ... turn out well ... If you walk in the "law of the Lord" ...

But if you turn to man for counsel and go in the way of man, this is not the case.  You curse yourself when you turn to man rather than turning to God.

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.  Deut. 28

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. Psa. 34:10

"They that seek the Lord" would be those who turn to God continually saying:  "What do YOU want me to do about this?"  Following what you believe HE shows you in each issue of this present life are those who seek God and follow HIM

Knowing the Bible and the way of God by HIS Spirit, constantly recreating yourself in the image of God by the Holy Scriptures as you deal with various issues of life one step at a time sets you in the path of God.

My cousin delights in saying, "My God would never do that."  But this cousin does not know the Holy Scriptures therefore "her god" is the god of her own mind and what she thinks rather than the God of the Holy Scriptures which is the true God.  She follows the image of her own fleshly mind.

But those of us who belong to God are recreated in HIS image day by day as we read the Bible and conform ourselves to the Holy Scriptures, doing that which we see to do by the Spirit of God that is in those of us who truly belong to God.

And whatsoever we do will prosper, turn out well, when we follow God by His Spirit that dwells in us.
