1 Chronicles 29:11
1. God’s timing is perfect just as His ways are perfect. Ps 18:30
2. What the enemy meant for evil, God has turned around for our good. 
3. “God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭NLT‬

Today is our twelfth and final message of the Biblical finances series and this will act as our transition to the next message:  What the Bible Says about Honor.  In the Kingdom of God, nothing happens without honor.  No honor, no favor.  No honor, no answers.  

Turn to Matthew 10 to look at the key passage for this morning.  When we talk about Biblical prosperity, we’ve learned that it isn’t just referring to money in the bank or stuff in the yard.  Prosperity includes protection from sickness, theft, decay and death—not only to your physical body but your bank accounts, your stuff, your kids, etc.  3 John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

God looks at our hearts first.  Is our heart prospering?  Then we are primed and ready for external prospering.  So the fuel is in the tank, the primer has taken the fuel to the engine, what is the final remaining piece to get the engine started?  A spark.  That spark is honor.

2 Corinthians 11:5-10
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
So often we miss the strength of God because we are not willing to be weak

Are we making room for God to work through our weaknesses or are we just relying on our strengths?

1 Peter 5:10
1 Peter 5:5-10

Job 1:20
Luke 6:45
Phil 4:8

1. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
2. One of the best measures of character is what comes out when they are stressed. 
3. Focus on positivity. 

Fill your mind and heart with good things so that they are in there when you need them.  Putting the right stuff in is important, but getting the bad stuff out is necessary too. 

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.””
‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


“And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭22‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God wants to use you more and more for bigger and better things both in your personal life and in His kingdom.  The only way that is accomplished is by His trust in YOU growing over time.  He can’t trust you if you aren’t trusting Him.  The more you trust Him, the more He can use you.  It will be uncomfortable at first sometimes.  Abraham had to say goodbye to family to go where God was sending Him.  Moses had to leave the palace to go suffer with the people of God.  Jesus had to die physically on a cross.  

The persecution we suffer for trusting in God is nothing to be compared to the eternal glory we  can experience.  If we are faithful with a few things…just a few…God will make us ruler of many things.  How many of you govern a city right now?  Jesus said, if you are faithful now, you can rule multiple cities in eternity.  

We can’t see that with our eyes.  We can’t see God with our physical eyes.  But we can use the faith He has given us to trust what we cannot see more than the things we can see.  When we do that, there is great reward both now and for all eternity.

His faithfulness shows us we can depend on His word. 
His justness shows us that he will keep things lines up according to what is right. 

Deuteronomy 32:3-5
1 John 1:9

We have to know that when we mess up our relationship isn't affected

Hebrews 10:23 
What is your faith anchored to?
It makes God smile when we are faithful (like Him)

Romans 1:16-17
The just shall live by faith

Much of the arguing over justice comes at people's concept of justice, not God's

Deuteronomy 8:18 CJB
No, you are to remember Adonai your God, because it is he who is giving you the power to get wealth, in order to confirm his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as is happening even today.

This morning we continue our series on Biblical Finances and looking at this key verse in Deuteronomy, I want to focus in on one word:  remember.  The Lord is telling the Hebrews that He is giving them the power to get wealth, a blessing to prosper.  We still see the fruit of this blessing on the Jews today – who have an innate ability to prosper in business.  

God not only wants us to prosper, He has given us the power to prosper.  We’ve been talking about this for weeks now with our most recent topic being the blessing.  We have the blessing of Abraham on us as believers, and we have the power to bless and pass down that blessing to our children.  We are blessed for the purpose of being a blessing.  

The enemy works very hard to keep the blessing off our lives through unbelief and sin.  Someone who is not a child of God doesn’t have the blessing of Abraham.  Someone who is a child of God but is living in a habitual sin, is blocking the flow of the blessing in their own lives. The pipes are clogged.  

However, when the enemy fails at preventing the blessing, he attacks from another angle:  seeking the wealth.

We started off talking about our relationship to God as God being our father, us being his children, and how it brings the parents, natural parents, mothers and fathers so much joy to see their children reflecting their character to see their children reflecting them in the earth. 

The same is true for us that God gets so much joy. God gets so much glory when we as his children reflect his character. That's what we're called to do. And you know, and and what's so amazing about it is God didn't just ask us to reflect his character, but he gave us a real and a perfect example. In the life of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And so I want to continue on in and talking about us reflecting the character of God. And I want to kind of move into some practical examples and ways that and and kind of areas where I think there's opportunity for us to. Reflect the character of God in our day-to-day interactions with people as a church, as employees. As you know, parents as spouses. So many opportunities for us to reflect the character of God, and so. So. That is, that's what we're going to begin doing this morning. So kind of our our anchor verse for this this series, it's a it's a simple one, it's straightforward. It is Ephesians 5:00 and 1:00. Ephesians 5 and one. Therefore the imitators of God as. Beloved children. Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children
