True prosperity teaching is not about money. It is the God given ability to meet every situation with faith in the Word believing the promises of God. The Persecutions of Stronghold Believer is a fictional short story based on my faith, conviction and conversations held with other Christian leaders as they courageously face life threatening doctors' reports. For years I viewed negative doctors' reports as an opportunity to give God glory. I didn't hear cancer, I heard testimony. On more than one occasion doctors have responded to my unusual reaction by cautioning I did not understand the severity of a condition. A few personal challenges include amputation, lumps, fractures and a car accident that should have been fatal. Through it all the promises of God were embedded in my heart. I do not believe watching a child of God courageously deteriorate gives our Lord glory. Suffering through infirmities is not necessarily the will of our loving Father for his children. God's glory is not in what we do, it is in what He has done. John3:16 and John10:10 provide clear explanations of God's plan. Miracles do happen, especially when you have the Holy Spirit living within you. I am forever praying for God's perfect will in our lives, especially among the Body of Christ. Jesus says if we have the 'faith of a mustard seed we can move mountains'. Why go up the rough side of the mountain when we can tell the mountain to move? Trust, faith and relationship are the foundation for testimony after testimony. Praising while in the midst of a challenge is never premature. We have been given the victory through Jesus Christ. When I think about His goodness I want to shout. Stronghold Believer is shouting the promises of God to all who will listen.
