It took me a long time to get most of this “prosperity” thinking out of my head. It’s always there to one degree or another, but it is ever shrinking.
The prosperity as described in the bible is all about attitude. It’s how one can be in the joy of the Lord, yet also be in prison.
One thing I have noticed in people, incl myself, is always wanting “more”. Except that once you get “more” you want more. And it never ends. People with money want more. So if u can defeat “more” problem, you can worship and help and love and gain wisdom, etc.
Another thing I’ve noticed is re: spoiled children. The secret is teaching the child to be grateful for what u give them; grateful for what they have. Gratitude to God is so important throughout life IMO. Being grateful instead of complaining is healthy.
the Prosperity Gospel preachers are psychological scam artists.
