Once again, we have the world’s information opposing
God’s information. If you know what God thinks or what He
has said, then you have a very easy task of thinking and believing
the same way. If you know what God has said, you cannot
be deceived.

To the world, prosperity, like everything else, is completely
born of the senses, or the sense-ruled mind. The world is governed
by natural impulse and the physical senses. Its slogan is
seeing is believing. If you can see it, taste it, hear it, smell it, or
feel it, then it must be true; if you can’t contact it with
your physical senses, it is not true.

As we have discussed earlier in this chapter, the world’s definition
of prosperity is very limited in its scope—financial ability
and power. In fact, it goes only this far by its own admission.
The world itself admits that it has no power to overcome poverty,
sickness, spiritual ills or social ills.

True prosperity is the ability to use God’s power to meet the
needs of mankind in any realm of life. This covers much more
than just finances, politics and society. Money is not the only
degree of prosperity. You can have all the money in the world
and still be poverty-stricken spiritually, mentally and physically.
Money is the lowest form of power that exists on earth. Do you
know what is the highest? The power of prayer! You can pray in
the Name of Jesus, and God will use His ability to handle your
situation, whatever it is. It takes the power of God to make
you completely whole. God’s power is the only power that
covers the entire spectrum of human existence. God is more
than enough!
