Heaven is a place of abundance and earth is a place of abundance. Every where God is, is a place of abundance, for God is an abundant God. If God is in you, then you are a person of abundance!

You may ask then, "Why do I experience lack?"

I truly believe the answer to that question is found in the question itself.

Do you constantly dwell on lack by continuing to think about it, talk about it, and complain about it? It is a fact that whatever your mind focuses on, that is what it attracts. The bad news is; your old habitual ways of thinking have gotten you to where you are today, but the good news is; old habits can be changed.

I believe a person needs to totally renew their mind to the Word of God. I am narrow minded on this. God's Word is forever established in heaven (Psalm 119:89) and is living, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

His Word contains the power you need to bring outrageous blessings into your life! But, before His Word can bring outrageous blessings into your life, you must first believe that it can. You must also believe that He is a God of abundance, and that it is His will that you live an abundant and prosperous life.

The following Scriptures testify to the fact that God wants you to prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers (3 John 1:2).

~Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13) which includes poverty and lack.

~The Lord blessed Abraham in all things. (Genesis 24:1)

~Abraham was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. (Genesis 13:2)

~God shows no partiality (Acts 10:34) and He made several people in the Bible wealthy.
