Prosperity Leaves Clues

Prosperity leaves clues, and as a result, prosperous people are easy to spot. You can tell them by the way they dress, the environment they create around themselves, the people they hang with, the way they treat others, and the way they treat themselves.

Tithing for Prosperity

Tithing often experiences resistance. Many non-believers view the practice as racket organized religion uses to fleece its followers, and even many religious believers view tithing with skepticism. I can certainly relate to both camps. Like many spiritual rewards, tithing requires a leap of faith.

Stop Providing Weapons to Your Enemy

We’ve talked a lot about the tug-of-war between your conscious mind versus your subconscious programming, for outcomes you want to do, have, and become.  Unfortunately, you can sometimes unknowingly give the negative programming in your subconscious mind an extra advantage.  One it certainly doesn’t need.
