Introduction

God first began dealing with me about the laws that govern

prosperity in 1967. I was conducting a series of meetings in a

very small church in a very small town in the Texas panhandle.

For years I had entertained the idea that success was not an

accident, that luck has nothing to do with it. I had read books of

different kinds on this idea but had not found any answers that

satisfied me. It didn’t occur to me that the Bible was written by

the most successful individual alive—God!

In those early days of following the Lord’s teaching, it

seemed that He was very hard on me. I could see no reason for

Him to be so strict. Of course, I had no idea then that, in less

than 10 years, prime interest rates would soar to heights as

never before. Who could dream that the fuel shortage, food

shortage, paper shortage, etc., would come storming their way

into our lives.

When Gloria and I first began to put the things we were

learning into practice, we had nothing around us but prob-

lems. I had returned to college at the age of 30 and from there

God called us into a full-time ministry in His service. We were

deeply in debt and lived in surroundings that were very poor.

The job God called me to do required that I travel extensively

preaching and teaching His Word, but our car was completely

worn out. We had no clothes. I had lost 75 pounds and, obvi-

ously, none of my clothes fit. The trousers on some of my suits

had been altered so many times that, instead of two back

pockets, it looked like one big pocket! I could go on and on

about our situation, but it’s easy to see that we had less than

nothing. We were thousands of dollars in debt.

God used His Word to set the standards by which we

would operate. It had to be by faith or not at all. We made

commitments that seemed so hard. We declared that we would

never ask any man for anything including money and places

to minister. We pledged ourselves and this ministry to Romans

13:8, that we would never borrow one cent. We would tell our

needs only to God and expect what He was teaching us to pro-

duce. Little did we know then what a blessing these standards

would be. We learned, many times the hard way. We prayed.

We confessed our faith. We stood on God’s Word when every

circumstance spelled absolute doom. God’s Word worked!

Things began to happen for us instead of to us. We began to

grow. In 11 months, we were free from debt. Unless you have

experienced the freedom of being debt-free, you cannot imag-

ine how great it is not to have any man putting pressure on

you. We know what Hebrews 4:11 means when it says,

“…labour therefore to enter into that rest.” There is peace and

rest when you know how to operate in God’s laws instead of

being forced to seek help from men’s sources.

God always has more than enough. The rise in interest

rates has not affected our ministry. The rise in medical costs

has not affected us. We have learned to receive our healing

from God.

The world’s shortages have no effect on someone who has

already gone to heaven. Therefore, they should have no effect

on us here who have made Jesus the Lord of our lives.

Philippians 4:19 says that our needs are to be met according to

His riches in glory, not our shortages in earth. Our problem has

been in not knowing heaven’s ways of doing things. We have

tried to live in God’s blessings with the world’s laws. It won’t

work. We receive from God by using His laws and ways.

In the book you are about to read, I have shared these laws

of prosperity the way they were given to me from God’s Word.

They are not theories; they are facts. We have tried and proven

each one in our lives! We live this way. My invitation

to you is from Malachi 3:10. God Himself says, “Prove me now

herewith…if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour

you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive

it.” Determine now to act on God’s Word and start looking for

more room!
