Blessed is the man 29 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. 30 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: For he shall be a tree planted by the waters, 31 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and 32 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: shall not see when heat cometh. But her leaf shall 33 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: be green and shall not be careful in the year 34 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Take a 35 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: moment to pour out your adoration to God, who causes 36 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: you to prosper. God, I praise you for your word 37 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: that is upright, and all your work is done in faithfulness. 38 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: I worship you, for you are my guarantee, and I 39 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: will trust in you.

Your 42 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: promises are faithful and sure. God is your guarantee of prosperity. 43 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: You must understand this biblical truth and spiritual doctrine. God 44 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: is always in control, and He has the final say 45 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: in all things and at all times. Your prosperity is 46 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: not dependent upon work, worldly standards, and current affairs. Your 47 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: prosperity is determined by your trust and your hope in 48 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: the Lord, by your commitment to Him and your relationship 49 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: with him. For with God, it does not matter what 50 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: season you're going through. He can prosper you even in 51 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: the midst of hardship. It will not matter if the 52 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: stock market is crashing or if the real estate business 53 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: is booming. Inflation will not affect you, nor will the 54 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: failure or success of others determine your income. Against all 55 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: odds and contrary to all reason, those who place their 56 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: faith in God will flourish in and out of season. 57 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: With God, anxiety does not get to control your mind, 58 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: nor stress to ruin your body. All you have to 59 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: do is put your hope in God and place your 60 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: trust in him. This is your opportunity to present yourself 61 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: before God to hand your stress and your anxiety over 62 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: to him. Confess your sins to God. If you confess 63 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: your sins to him, he is faithful and just. He 64 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: will forgive your sins and purify you from all and righteousness. 65 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: God will give you of His peace that surpasses all understanding. 66 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: Now consider for a moment God's goodness in your life 67 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: and thank Him for it. Thank God that his faithfulness 68 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: is unending. Thank Him that your circumstance does not dictate 69 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: if and when He can bless you.

Thank 74 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: God for his unfailing care and his continuous, loving kindness 75 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: upon your life. God is present and he is listening 76 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: to you. God promised to care for you and to 77 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: make you thrive even in times of hardship.

Ask God to 80 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: make you flourish in times of drought. Ask him to 81 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: eat rivers of living water within you. Ask the Holy 82 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: Spirit to minister the truth of God's word in your 83 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: heart to enable you to produce fruit in your life 84 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: in and out of season.
