The Holy Spirit is available to everyone. God had a plan for Sampson. God had a plan for Jonah. The Old Testament is important because before Jesus was born, and sent, there was God. The New Testament shows us Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
The prosperity gospel is a lie. If you think all of the good things you do will gain you better things, you’re badly mistaken. Christians are called to do a job, it’s already on purpose. Many men in the Bible we read about them doing work for God had a job to do, called a job. If you’re still going to your pastor asking them what the Bible says about something then you need to be ready and study your Bible more.
There is a degree of suffering when you live for God. You first need to pray without ceasing. You need to understand what God wants you to do. Each person has a different way they commune with God.
The results of God’s plan are not the same for each person. When God tells you His plan you can’t compare your plan with someone else’s.
If you’re doing what you think is the plan and everything you touch just seems to fall apart, it might not be God’s plan you’re following. Again, pray.
The life of Job negates the prosperity gospel entirely. Job did everything and gave everything to God. Even though he did these things and sacrificed greatly he went through great turmoil. Once Job broke and told God to just kill him, his friends then began to judge him and blamed him for doing something wrong.
