When I read about God’s provision, I can’t help but think there’s no such thing as the prosperity gospel. We were never meant to sit back and watch others come to Jesus from a distance. We are commanded to go out and preach the Gospel, making disciples of all nations. We are to roll up our sleeves and get a little dirty in the process. What God commands, He provides. So much for the concept of the prosperity gospel being biblical.
35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out to preach the Good News and you did not have money, a traveler’s bag, or extra clothing, did you need anything?”“No,” they replied.36 “But now,” He said, “take your money and a traveler’s bag. And if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one!37 For the time has come for this prophecy about Me to be fulfilled: ‘He was counted among the rebels.’ Yes, everything written about Me by the prophets will come true.”38 “Look, Lord,” they replied, “we have two swords among us.”“That’s enough,” He said.
