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). Jesus became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. (2 Corinthians 8:9) ~God has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant. (Psalm 35:27) ~The blessing of the Lord makes one rich. (Proverbs 10:22) ~God is not selfish or stingy but gives us richly all things to enjoy. (1 Timothy 6:17) ~The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. (Psalm 33:5) ~We are joint heirs with Christ. (Romans 8:17) ~With Him God also freely gave us all things. (Romans 8:32) ~We will reign as kings in life through Christ. (Romans 5:17) ~God gives us power to get wealth. (Deuteronomy 8:18) ~God teaches us to profit. (Isaiah 48:17) ~God gave us instructions on how to be prosperous and have good success. (Joshua 1:8 & Psalm 1:1-3) ~God desires that we prosper. (3 John 1:2) ~You should have all sufficiency in all things so you can have an abundance for every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8) ~We have been called to freedom. (Galatians 5:13) ~Whom the Son of God sets free, is free indeed. (John 8:36) ~How much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things." (Matthew 7:11) ~Ask the Father and receive that your joy may be full. (John 16:24) ~Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13) which includes poverty and lack. ~The blessing of Abraham is supposed to come upon those who are in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:14) ~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. ~God says wisdom is the principal thing and commands us to get it. (Proverbs 4:7) ~Jesus has been made unto us wisdom. (1 Corinthians 1:30) ~Riches and honor come with wisdom. (Proverbs 3:16 & 8:18) ~Instructions are given that you may lack nothing. (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12; James 1:4) ~God has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. (2 Peter 1:3) ~Jesus told us to pray that God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
