Deuteronomy 32:13

of the earth, that he might eat the increase of
the fields; and he made him to suck honey
out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock.

Amp—He made Israel ride on the high
places of the earth, and he ate the increase
of the field; and He made him to suck honey
out of the rock and oil out of the flinty rock.

highlands, living off the hills, sucking honey
from the very crags and oil from flinty rocks.

NIV—He made him ride on the heights of
the land and fed him with the fruit of the
fields. He nourished him with honey from
the rock, and with oil from the flinty crag.

2 Chronicles 29:2, 32:27-29

KJV—He [Hezekiah] did that which was
right in the sight of the Lord….

And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches
and honour: and he made himself treasuries
for silver, and for gold, and for precious
stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for
all manner of pleasant jewels; Storehouses
also for the increase of corn, and wine, and
oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and
cotes for flocks. Moreover, he provided him
cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in
abundance: for God had given him substance
very much.

Amp—He [Hezekiah] did right in the sight
of the Lord….

And Hezekiah had very great wealth and
honor, and he made himself treasuries for silver,
gold, precious stones, spices, shields, and

also for the increase of grain, vintage fruits,
and oil, and stalls for all kinds of cattle, and
sheepfolds. Moreover he provided himself
cities, and flocks and herds in abundance; for
God had given him very great possessions.

Moffatt—He [Hezekiah] did what was right
in the eyes of the Eternal….

Hezekiah had enormous wealth and
honour; he supplied himself with treasuries
to hold silver, gold, jewels, spices, rarities, and
all kinds of handsome articles, also stores
for the influx of grain, wine, and oil, barns for
all kinds of cattle, and pens for sheep; he
acquired enormous numbers of flocks and
herds, for God gave him rich possessions.

NIV—He [Hezekiah] did what was right in
the eyes of the Lord….

Hezekiah had very great riches and
honor, and he made treasuries for his silver
and gold and for his precious stones, spices,
shields and all kinds of valuables. He also
made buildings to store the harvest of
grain, new wine and oil; and he made stalls
for various kinds of cattle, and pens for the
flocks. He built villages and acquired great
numbers of flocks and herds, for God had
given him very great riches.

Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy
exceeding great reward.

Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying,

into a good land, a land of brooks of water,
of fountains and depths that spring out of
valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley,

a land of oil olive, and honey; A land
wherein thou shalt eat bread without
scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in
it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of

thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt
bless the Lord thy God for the good land
which he hath given thee.

not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a
land where the rocks are iron and you can
dig copper out of the hills. When you have
eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your
God for the good land he has given you.

Kenneth Copeland — Provision Through ProsperityPosted by admin on November 12th, 2009

Praise God! As a believer, you can claim
your redemption from every curse mentioned
in Deuteronomy 28! All the blessings of
Abraham belong to you. God has blessed you
with all things that pertain to life and godliness
(2 Peter 1:3). Included in those “all things”
are health, safety, protection, a good marriage
and anything else that affects your life.

When you receive salvation, many benefits
become available to you in addition to
eternal life—benefits for the here and now
as well as for eternity. Salvation denotes
deliverance, preservation and restoration. It
is material and temporal deliverance from
danger and apprehension (fear). You have
been given a pardon with the rights of
protection, liberty, health, soundness and
wholeness through your acceptance of
Jesus, the Anointed One, as Lord of your life.

Provision
Provision is probably the most obvious
aspect of prosperity. The Bible illustrates
again and again that the Lord provides for
His people. And His provision is whatever
you need. That can include finances, but it’s
much more than that. “My God shall supply all
your need according to his riches in glory by Christ
Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). Whatever you need,
whether it’s finances, healing, peace, harmony
in your family, the salvation of loved
ones or any other good thing, God can
provide it. “Those who seek the Lord lack no good
thing” (Psalm 34:10).

Some people believe exclusively for
finances to buy the things they need. But if
you’re only expecting finances, you could
miss a harvest that has your name on it. Of
course, God can supply finances. But He is
not limited to operating that way. He may
decide to bypass the finances and just get
the “things” into your hands. He may give
you supernatural deals to stretch your finances,
so that you pay only a fraction of
the cost of an item. Or He may speak to
someone to simply give you what you
need. Either way, it’s no problem for God,
and it’s a blessing to you. So expect miracles
of provision—and be open to receive
them however God sends them.

Kenneth Copeland — Prosperity Is Provision and ProtectionPosted by admin on November 4th, 2009

Satan goes to great lengths to convince God’s
people that poverty, sickness, calamity and trouble
are blessings in disguise. It is his perversion of
God’s creation! If the devil can make us accept his
attack as “an act of God” in our life—and he does
that through unscriptural religious traditions or
doubt and unbelief—he can rob us of everything
Jesus died to provide for us. And what’s even
more tragic about that is, if we don’t know and
have confidence in what God has provided for us,
we won’t even try to stop the devil from operating
against us. Everything that Jesus bore on the cross
for us, it is our responsibility to resist. We begin to
walk in divine prosperity with a decision to no
longer allow Satan to put symptoms of lack on
us—in any area of our life.

If our thinking isn’t completely in line
with God’s Word, the devil can con us into
accepting his attacks. He’ll try to make us
believe that sickness, poverty or anything
else contrary to God’s Word is actually
God’s will for us to teach us something—or
for some other reason. Nothing could be
further from the truth of God’s Word.

If you’re a born-again child of God, Christ
has redeemed you from sickness, poverty,
lack and all of the curse (see Galatians 3:13).
Deuteronomy 28:15-68 describes the curse
of the law. Here are some excerpts from
those verses that plainly show poverty and
lack for what they really are. There’s nothing
good about them, and they don’t belong
to anyone in the family of God. Read
them and rejoice that you have just the
opposite of what is listed here.

If you will not obey the voice of
the Lord your God, being watchful
to do all His commandments and
His statutes which I command you
this day, then all these curses shall
come upon you and overtake you:

Cursed shall you be in the city,
and cursed shall you be in the field.
Cursed shall be your basket and
your kneading trough. Cursed shall
be the fruit of your body, of your
land, of the increase of your cattle
and the young of your sheep.
Cursed shall you be when you come
in, and cursed shall you be when
you go out….

And you shall grope at noonday,
as the blind grope in darkness, and
you shall not prosper in your ways;
and you shall be only oppressed
and robbed continually, and there
shall be no one to save you….

You shall build a house, and not
live in it; you shall plant a vineyard
and not gather its grapes…. A nation
which you have not known shall eat
up the fruit of your land and of all
your labors; and you shall be only
oppressed and crushed continually….

You shall carry much seed out
into the field, and shall gather little
in; for the locust shall consume
it…. You shall plant vineyards and
dress them, but shall neither drink
of the wine nor gather the grapes;
for the worm shall eat them…. All
your trees and the fruit of your
ground shall the locust possess.

He [the stranger] shall lend to
you, and you shall not lend to him;
he shall be the head, and you shall
be the tail.

All these curses shall come upon
you and shall pursue you and overtake
you, till you are destroyed, because
you do not obey the voice of
the Lord your God, to keep His commandments
and His statutes which
He commanded you….

Because you did not serve the
Lord your God with joyfulness of
[mind and] heart [in gratitude] for the
abundance of all [with which He had
blessed you], Therefore you shall
serve your enemies…in hunger and
thirst, in nakedness, and in want of
all things (The Amplified Bible).
