Excuse me if you took that as a boast. That is not how it was intended. God gave me a job when I ask for some way to support the children when they were young. It so happened we ended up over the years that first job assisted in others being able to support their basic needs.The people I listen to have been in ministry for over 45 years and they DO teach to seek God FIRST in all things. They always tell everyone to seek the Lord before doing anything. Never leave the house and ask God to bless your trip. Seek God first to see what He would have you do and if you should even go anywhere. I have not made millions but I can tell you that when I have sought God in those things that went well and turned out to be shocking to other people. For some reason people think the "prosperity preachers" ONLY talk about that one subject. They don't. And prosperity doesn't mean just money. It means prosperous health, relationships as well as money aspects.I did not say what you should do Trinity. I am telling you though if God raises up an adversary (the correct meaning of what a satan is) God chooses to put that in that persons heart to be an adversary. If a preacher or teacher of the Word is teaching incorrectly God will take them down. The Lord can use an adversary to even give you a message of encouragement. Prosperity teaching does not go inline with the Word. It does however tell us to seek the Kingdom first and the rest will be added. It does not say seek to be rich first and later the kingdom will be added. Jesus specifically said you cannot serve two masters. Now on that note I can tell you Rod and I have actually made millions. We also spent it supporting the people who worked for us and with us. Don't have a dime between us most days now and I can also truthfully say I would not go back to that place and subject myself all over again just to have a bit of cash. Each us us has to make these choices and in our choices comes forth consequences; bless be the Lord who made it possible for us to have that business but when the children grew up and went out on their own it was no longer necessary.I appreciate your sharing, but I fail to see how anyone broke can help anyone. No one said you HAD to send money to anyone and the ones I listen to do not tell you send me money and you will be healed. If that is what you hear from it then don't watch or send money but ministries or missions need money to operate and what I hear being said is that it is your judgement how much they should have. That isn't allowing God to do with YOUR TITHE the work God wants to do with it. Trust me, if you sow into good ground it comes back to you shaken together and running over. It is called BLESSING and operating in the blessing that Adam was given to start. You all really need to learn the concept of seed time and harvest but <sigh> you don't believe in prosperity so to each their own to live on the edge worried, sick, poor, and broke
You put your trust in sowing where you like. Personally I am going to sow mine into the showing and telling everyone I can about how the spirit works. With the knowledge of what we have today it is damn obvious that the spirit of Omri running rampant through the synagogues and churches helped take this country down a path of unrighteousness. The people allowed and willed it. The Lord gave the people their hearts desires and now many of the people are whining "this just is not fair".
Now if you want to talk about harvest. It is already here and the sickle has already been thrust in. In the spirit the Lord already laid waste to the old dead stump that was in the middle of the dying forest and the creepy crawlies have already started to scatter. The issues today are with the remnants of those who live to the flesh are left to see and experience. Those who live to His spirit will see and the blind will remain blinded as that is what direction they choose for themselves.
I have listened to one in particular for about 20 years. I personally have been very blessed. If one of these people say "follow me" and "send ME money and I will heal you" that is someone to be avoided. The point I am trying to get though to you all is that if you choose to tune in, if you choose to send money and it isn't good ground (and you find that out by no blessing harvest coming your way) then it was your choice to send your money to them. Do not blame them for YOU not seeking God about it and finding out where to sow seed. If it was any other program on tv everyone would say if you do not like the message of the show turn it off but somehow this is being treated different. If one watches an infomercial are you required to buy it? Does someone come over and shake you down for the money? No. People have a wrong idea about the prosperity message. I have no idea why. Jesus talks about how the Kingdom of God works (kingdom of God being different than kingdom of heaven...very crucial point here. Kingdom of God is a process and way of doing things, kingdom of heaven is a place). Seed time and harvest is how Kingdom of God operates. I have no idea who wrote this but this explains it pretty well and doesn't drone onExcuse me if you took that as a boast. That is not how it was intended.

Again you will have to decide for your self. Search your own heart and mind for truth. I personally found I would not pay two cents for many of the celebrated preachers I came across as they taught from their own precepts on the Word and the Spirit.
