God is speaking through the apostle John to His people. Learning to think as God thinks is soul prosperity. A large portion of the Bible deals with money, stewardship of money and the things that money provides. Throughout the Old Testament, men have walked close to God and experienced prosperity: Noah prospered in order to build the Ark, Abraham was very rich, Joseph was a prosperous man, David’s is a “rags” to riches, true story, and Solomon was very wealthy.
