One of the greatest confusions, the greatest hazard, for Christians, especially in America is this:

Material Prosperity vs. Spiritual Prosperity

Material Prosperity is usually marked by comfort.
Spiritual Prosperity is often marked by discomfort.

Material Prosperity is usually marked by commendation.
Spiritual Prosperity is often marked by condemnation.

Material Prosperity is usually marked by easy times.
Spiritual Prosperity is often marked by hard times.

Material Prosperity is usually marked by wanting more.
Spiritual Prosperity is often marked by wanting less.

Material Prosperity is usually marked by more to hold your heart.
Spiritual Prosperity is often marked by less to hold your heart.

Material Prosperity is marked by greater focus on what you have stored here on earth.
Spiritual Prosperity is marked by greater focus on what you have stored in heaven.

PRIORITIES—first things first—Material Prosperity or Spiritual Prosperity.
“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”

Spiritual Prosperity—prayed for and promised—we can have it !
Material Prosperity—prayed for but not promised—many warnings, especially for wanting it !

As America makes the tragic transition from a Christian nation to a Godless nation that is hostile to Christianity, two things will happen spiritually.
ONE–
Some will repent and turn to God, or turn back to Him.
TWO–
Many will turn against God for taking their good life, and for sending His judgment.

History always was and remains His-Story, including The United States of America.
The great American experiment showed and will show His hand in the affairs of man.

In God We Trust
God Bless America

In God We Trusted
God Blessed America
God Judged America

editorial—historical note.
–ed—America really did trust God.
–ed—God really did bless America.
–ed—God really did judge America—the sentence has only begun.

American exceptionalism above measure—indeed !
American exceptionalism above accountability—indeed not !
