What is Spiritual Prosperity?

There are many in this world who believe it's all over when you die.  I'm not one of these people.  Spiritual prosperity is the label I'm using for the final chapter in "Live Long and Prosper."  The idea is to share lessons learned during my time on this planet.  I'm approaching this subject from the point of view of someone who often viewed the world from some of the deepest valleys a soul can encounter.  That's where I learned my lessons.  That's where I discovered my faith.

Put aside your conceptions about the afterlife for a moment and consider what your life would be like if you were to take a leap of faith.  Maybe you're the type of person who needs proof before you can take a position.  Let's start with evil.  Can you see evidence of evil in this world?  If so, where does this evil come from?  Is it possible there are beings in the spiritual realm who don't want you to discover the truth about who you are, where you're from, and where you're headed?  

The Bible is a great way to search for the truth.  It begins with Genesis.  This is the place where the first humans had it all.  I believe all of us were created to live in spiritual prosperity.  Unfortunately, our ancestors got kicked out of the Garden, thanks to temptation from the dark side.  Darkness comes from the absence of light.  These evil beings were created to live in abundant spiritual prosperity.  Something happened.  Like us, they got kicked out.  They're angry.  They will do everything in their power to take us all down to their level.  They are trying to keep us from taking that leap of faith because they know that when we find the truth of who Jesus is it's game over for the dark side.  

Thank you for the opportunity to share my stories with you.  As you search for your own spiritual prosperity, here's an idea to help you along the way.  Ask yourself is the people you are around are helping you get closer or further away from the truth.  There are positive and negative influences all around you.  Find a community that can help you in your quest.  May you live long and prosper.  Have a great day.
