Is your soul bankrupt?
We need to have more than natural resources to fulfill our calling and be effective for the kingdom of God. We need to have soul prosperity!
Our soul is our mind, will and emotions. I believe that although our spirit is renewed, our soul is in the process of becoming more like Christ, which takes participation on our part. Our soul is where the enemy fights us.
Often, our soul is the real battleground in spiritual warfare. Our mind can be assailed with negative and destructive thoughts, our emotions can be in chaos due to past or present traumas, eventually leading our will to be paralyzed, when suddenly we find ourselves not wanting to move forward in the will of God for our lives or even not knowing how to move forward in life at all.
We can try to hide in shame. We can pretend like we never have any soul issues. But in reality, everyone needs some soul healing at some time or another. Can I get an “amen” here?!
I’ve experienced enough of this myself to know that we need to ask God for soul prosperity. Often the health of our soul gets overlooked, because unlike our bodies, we can’t always see or feel the condition of our soul because we are so conditioned to stuff things deep down. Some of us don’t even realize how many wounds we carry. (No shame, I’ve been there.)
To me, soul prosperity is about a healthy mind, healthy emotions and a will that is fully surrendered to God.
Check out this verse,
“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” (3 John 2).
