The Secret 6 Components to True Spiritual Abundance

Many people confuse abundance with money and count every thing else as not really abundance. I tend to disagree, I think true spiritual abundance involves,

1. healthy relationships,
2. healthy life,
3. spiritual maturity,
4. closeness to God,
5. enough money to share with others,
6. and being fruitful in life. Let me speak on why I live an abundant lifestyle.

1st Component Closeness to God

God had this to say in italics below about me today through a prophet on my ministry team:

Matt, I see a heart and enclosed in the heart is human beings and this heart belongs to you. For your heart is big, my son says the Lord. You always gave but not always received says the Lord. My child I shall open doors and many shall see the compassion in your heart says the Lord. For truly your heart is in the right place says the Lord. I shall begin to remove every thorn and thought that exalts itself says the Lord. I see the word, sulfur. Some times at night darkness tried to suffocate you, and it was the smell of sulfur says the Lord. I decree peace, sanity, love, abundance by the command of Jesus.

You see God says I have a heart full of compassion and that I have a heart in the right place in life and what I do. God says that He is going to open up doors so that many more people can see my compassion. This means I am about to have a lot greater impact.

To get close to God is a process. You cannot cheat with God. You can't say you adore God and then not share you money with Him and His church. You can't say you love God and hold grudges and hate people. You can't say you would do anything for God and when He asks you to do something refuse Him. If God is going to pour His blessing on you, He is first going to put your relationship with Him to the test.

Many people wish that they had the same level of relationship with God that I have, but it is open to everyone. Anyone can read my 560 articles and learn how to get close to God. The trick is applying what I have taught and doing the hard work.

2nd Component Healthy Relationships

It is all fine to be called a success and yet your family hate you. Many people have success in life and they lose their wife and children in a divorce because they are never home. Abundance in the spiritual sense includes a healthy home life.

Abundance also comes with healthy friendships in your life. You should have people in your life that know you past and accept it, know your faults and accept them, and know your dreams and believe in them. Friends like that may be rare, but better to have only two of them than have ten so called friends that are always pulling you down and mocking you.

As a prophet i am very intense and hard to endure and have few friends. Most of my friends are online and I only have a a hand full in the flesh, But the ones I do have in the flesh are great and the ones online are fantastic. All my friendships add to me and make me a better person.

3rd Component Spiritual Maturity

There are may who claim to know God. It says that if you claim to be in Christ you must depart from sin. The spiritually mature not only know the Word of God but live according to that Word and make every effort to be obedient to Christ and the OT.

The spiritual mature can walk in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, can see Jesus in visions, can go to heaven, can see and do things the apostles in the book of Acts do. The spiritual mature spend little time in gossip and pulling down others but they encourage the weak and work toward unity and holiness in the church. The mature in Christ mentor others who are not as mature and count it an honor to speak for Jesus.

4th Component Healthy Life

It is possible with people with the right faith and the right teaching to live in divine health and not have sickness attack them very often. In 42 years I have never had the flu till this year. This was supernatural.

5th Component Enough Money to Share with others

There is no sense having a lot of money if you will not share it with others who have less. There is no point to being rich if all you are going to do is store up treasures on earth. To be fair, you should share about 10% of your income no matter what you are earning with others. You can give you 10% to your church or give 5% to the missionaries in your church and 5% to a charity that feed the poor.

Some of the world richest people give more than 10% away and if you ever expect God to raise you up and make you rich, you better get in the habit of giving 10% now with the little that you have. When you make a million dollars a year is is going to be harder to give $100,000 a year away then $5,000 out of your $50,000 now.

6th Component Being fruitful in Life

Jesus told a parable of the Sower where only 25% of the seed sown bore fruit. Many times this parable is miss taught in churches, in fact only once in 20 years have I ever heard the truth taught.

Many Christians do not bear much fruit, as fruit is not the fruits of the Spirit. Many people do not add to the Kingdom of God. A life of spiritual abundance means that your money or your life is training people how to be better Christians or saving people who are not saved. I hope this has set the record straight.
