Excerpts From "Prosperity at Calvary"
"The greatest gift-above all other gifts-is the gift of life! God used His imagination to create us in his image. In so doing He planted in us seeds of success."
"The atheist drive home his point with his declaration that he does not believe there is a God. He reasons that life came about through evolution and the progressive nature of things by random chance. He ends by saying he does not stand in the way or impose his beliefs on those who rely on God; in fact he gives believers the benefit of the doubt. Little does he know, in his self-talk he is actually praying to God."
"Sometimes in pursuit of spiritual growth we must go through many obstacle, hard knocks, dark nights and deep water. Since we are constantly evolving, this is often a prelude to growth."
"Prosperity is a byproduct of the enduring trials you will experience from family, friends, self and the world at large. It is your reward for giving God first place in your life, for making a conscious sacrifice to be obedient and practice God's laws. To pursue God is to pursue your treasure. To pursue God for the sake of receiving a reward is missing the point."
"To have that burning desire you must overcome fear. The sad thing about many of our decisions is they hinge on fear. We vote our fears, live in fear and ground our hopes in fear. Many people worship God not because they love or know him but out of fear of distancing themselves from Him. Most of our decisions in the area of prosperity and how much to keep are buried in our fears. Some people strive because they fear failure, while others refuse to pursue prosperity because they fear success."
"No matter what faith we believe in from time to time we are in need of true atonement. When we petition God for His atoning grace we become acutely aware of our selves."
"On the path toward prosperity you must lose sight of your impaired vision and shortsightedness by asking God to allow you to see through His mind's eye and experience His wisdom. You must learn to touch things with you soul, taste love through noble thoughts, smell with your intuition and hear with your discerning mind - all are gifts from God."
"I have seen people worry about money when they had little: as their money increased so did their worries. Now they worried they might lose their money and go back to being poor. So with money there is worry whether you have or have not."
"The saddest event in life is to have God bless us with ideas that will lead to a more fulfilling life and yet we do nothing. Years later when someone else acts upon what we conceived earlier, we experience heaviness in the pit of our stomachs that make us sick. Gian Carlo Menotti, the Pulitzer prize-winning composer, said it best: 'Hell begins on the day when God grants us a clear vision of all that we might have achieved, of all the gifts we wasted, of all that we might have done that we did not do.' This is where the living dead reside. Of all the wasted resources, lost opportunity is the greatest."
"The point is this: God is willing and able to grant you a better life. He is willing to meet you wherever you are."
