Rather than looking for a theological position that excuses our passivity and lack of faith, why don’t we get stirred up to walk in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel?   

And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. Rom 15:29 That blessing is both spiritual and material.

Are misery, defeat, and discouragement God’s will for His children?   

Shouldn’t we be walking in the goodness of God?   

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Rom 8:32 A logical conclusion that is rock solid.      Who is the ' 'He'?         → The Holy Spirit Father of Christ Jesus.

What are the “all things” that God will freely give us?   

Are you even interested?   

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to the Lord must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Heb 11:6 Believe that    → Jesus is Mighty God    → Jesus is loving and giving    → Jesus will reveal Himself to those who seek Him    → Jesus Himself is your exceeding great reward Gen 15:1 Joh 17:3 Faith is the power to appropriate what Grace has provided.     It pleases the Lord Jesus for us to receive what He has made available to us.     2Co 8:9

God is looking for those who truly seek Him.   

If you knew there was treasure buried in your backyard, would you invest in a shovel?   

Is God’s treasure worth your time?   

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Joh 10:10 The thief is Satan who is the inspiration for all the evil in the world.      Whereas the 'I' is Jesus who offers us Eternal Life and Abundant Life.      This verse is a powerful statement contrasting the nature of the enemy with the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ.      Note that the enemy takes by force what is ours, while we must appropriate by faith what is ours in Christ Jesus.      The appropriation is not a 'one and done' thing.     Rather, it is an ongoing process throughout our lives on this earth.      Jesus has given us His life in giving us His Holy Spirit who is in every believer who has asked to be filled.     We aught to invoke His life into every aspect of our walk in the earth.

Is poverty reflective of God’s abundance or is it of the enemy?   

Is God in favor of the bondage of poverty?   

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Creator of truth and beauty, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Jam 1:17 Only good things come from the Lord.      He does not change over time and He is always Good and Light and Truth.      The enemy, Satan, is the inspiration for all that is evil.     Nothing good comes from the enemy.      Never accuse the Lord of causing or condoning evil.     That is confusing Him with Satan.     It is blasphemy.

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. Joh 16:24 The Lord wants us to be joyful.     The second fruit of His Holy Spirit is joy.     Expect it, claim it and walk in it.     It is part of your inheritance in Christ Jesus.

These are just a few of the declarations and promises that can be real to the believer.   

Many are living far below what is possible because they are fixated on the wrong thing.   

You can’t meditate on and feed on the darkness of the world and expect to experience the promises of God.   You can only have faith for what you believe God has provided.
