Statement concerning the Prosperity Message and the U.S. Economy                      

by David Nelson    (11-19-07)

John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostle Paul all preached that we should give up worldly goods that would entrap our hearts and that we should give to the poor, and they lived frugal life styles that backed up what they taught. This teaching of a simpler, non-worldly life style is found in various prophecies on our website and in Chapter 8 (“The Lord’s Path, Not of this World”) in the book Desiring One Thing. This Chapter is now posted on our Latest Page.  The Prosperity Message being taught in many churches and on many Christian TV programs is contrary to Biblical teaching found throughout the New Testament (the gospels, the book of Acts, etc.). * (For writings that teach a non-worldly life style please send us your request and we will send them to you). 

Also, I have been reading many warnings lately that the U.S. economy is going to fall, it is just a matter of time and that this will be one of the Lord’s judgments on America. Many prophetic voices have said that cities of America are going to burn, that America is Babylon and that this country will be judged and will fall.  (Please see book on books/prophecies page “Flee From Babylon”). A Babylon system will fall by the judgments of God (Jeremiah 50 & 51 and Revelation 18). From these verses it sounds like they are talking about the United States. Some Babylon system will be judged by God for the Word must come to pass. Also, many judgments (natural catastrophes) must come to pass as recorded in the book of Revelation. When will this happen? The Lord has not said to me if it is 6 months, two years, 6 years or even 20 years, but it will happen some time. Signs are pointing to sooner rather than later.

I believe the rug will be pulled out from under the feet of the people of this world and many will be bewildered and not know what to do, including “Christians” who are attending church regularly. We must be learning to know our God now. For when the rug gets pulled out from under us, those who know their God will be able to help many who don’t know what to do.

How to prepare for all this? Lift up your eyes to the Lord, be ready for His coming, know His voice, He will give us the strength and wisdom to know what to do when the time comes that we need to know. The Lord will lead us through all things that are ahead, no matter how trying the times will get. We will need each other. Bless you all, and write us and let us know what the Lord is showing you. We as brothers and sisters are in this together with the Lord as our Great Shepherd and High Commander.
