1 Samuel 16:12-13ff Joshua 1:7-9 How do we prosper?  Is it all about money?  No To prosper is to follow God's Word.  Read it, meditate on it. Life is not about waiting for storm to pass, its dancing in the rain Be kind to others, as God has been kind to me. Book of Ezra is about connecting people back to temple.  Where is temple today?  In us. The Lord will work with one person to change the world.  Jesus was the most radical man who ever lived.  David knew his election is of God.  God had appointed him to do a job.  He took his calling seriously. When God calls you to do something, and you don't you let down the side. Take the things out of your life that destroys the body. Joshua 1:7-9 If you want to prosper in your life you meditate on the Word of God. Our Churches should not be run from the grave, Jesus is alive! Deut 11:1-21 Tow  live Gods ways if we dont teach our children Gods ways someone else will teach our children and it wont be Gods way Ephesians 2
