*Health is Wealth
The Enemy has most Christians deceived into believing that all of the promises of temporal blessing are for the past, applying only to Israel, and the promises of spiritual blessing are for the future, in heaven, in spite of such glorious promises as are found, for example, in Matthew 6:19-34; Mark 11:22-24; 16:16-20; Luke 11:13; I Corinthians 3:21-22; Philippians 4:19; John 2.

Thus, one day looks like the next to them, occupied with cares, problems, troubles, and worries. Life has become, for most it seems, sheer drudgery. Let me ask you some questions.

Was there a definite growth in your spiritual life? Did you experience an increase in your faith? Or were your last 365 days not much different from those of Mr. and Mrs. Average Christian – occupied with cares troubles, sickness, disappointments,
