THE MESSAGE
THE 7 DIMENSIONS OF TOTAL LIFE PROSPERITY
*******************************************
1. SPIRITUAL PROSPERITY
The Lord wants us to experience spiritual prosperity . Our soul prospers when we love the Lord with all our heart and we love others as we love ourselves. Our soul prospers when we receive a spirit of wisdom and revelation to know the Lord better .Our hearts must be enlightened to know the hope of our calling and the riches of our inheritance that belongs to us as the children of God . We must realise the enormous power of God that is available to us. We must become strong in our inner man. We must understand the the breadth and width and depth and height of the love of Christ and we must be filled with the fullness of God. This is the spiritual prosperity that the Lord wants us to experience.

" Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. "
" Jesus replied: " ’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: ’Love your neighbor as yourself.’
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
" I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,
and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength,
which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, "
" For this reason I kneel before the Father,
from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. "
2. PHYSICAL PROSPERITY
The Lord wants us to experience physical prosperity . He wants to heal our diseases and redeem our life from destruction . The Lord Jesus took our infirmities and carried our diseases and therefore He wants us to be healed from our sicknesses and diseases . The Lord has made a covenant of healing with us when we obey his commandments . We can boldly ask the Lord to grant us good health and strength when our lives are dedicated to His will and purpose .

" who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. "
" When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases."
" Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them. "
" He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you."
" Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you,
