Sorry if this is a little late, but I was on vacation for a week. That said, let me give you a scripture reference in the very subject of prosperity that I discovered while I was on vacation and I wrote yesterday on the steps of our church's platform (IN OUR NEW BUILDING!!!) before it is carpeted: "Therefore, may it please You to bless the house (posterity) of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for what You bless, O Lord is blessed forever." I Chronicles 17:27 Amplified Praise God! Now if David, who had a heart that hungered after the Lord can pray like that, you know what, so can I or anyone else. I choose not to miss out on the Lord's blessings. I posted a long time ago about a penny I saw in the parking lot, I almost picked it up, but instead I said "I'll just let someone else have that blessing" (trying not to be greedy) and walked on. Then it seemed the Holy Spirit was saying to me what if that were a spiritual blessing? If I put a blessing in front of you, you need to be receptive. So I went back and picked up that penny and I didn't feel greedy at all about either = ) I will be standing on this scripture as I desire blessings to fall upon my children, my children's' children ad infinitum... Be blessed and please don't condemn me too much the Chief -----Original Message----- From: Soaring Golden Eagle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 4:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Re: [RR] Compareitive religons merit- any value?

How quick we are to attack that which we don't understand, and how easily we condemn a brother. I have really listened to some of the greatest preachers of "prosperity theology" -- names you would recognize -- and NEVER did any of them ever teach that if you're sick or poor that it is because you are in sin. If you listen to them, you might learn what the actual Bible has to say about the subject and you might actually learn how to pray for and help those who are sick or poor. ___ Michael Paul Johnson AKA Soaring Golden Eagle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Outpost 362, Mountain Creek Community Church, Dallas Texas http://mtcreek.com http://eBible.org/mpj/ Jesus Christ is Lord! _______ To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe rangernet" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://rangernet.org/subscribe.htm http://rangernet.org Autoresponder: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - JENKENS & GILCHRIST E-MAIL CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE - This transmission may be: (1) subject to the Attorney-Client Privilege, (2) an attorney work product, or (3) strictly confidential.
