Hi Trent,

This is a good post from a perspective that is fresh. I think of all the people right now wanting a 'bail out' because, in their eyes, the 'greedy' folks on Wallstreet got one. No one stops to think that there are as many poor people suffering from the sin of greed as rich folks. Sometimes that sin is not uncovered in us until we have either experienced poverty or great wealth.

Since I was the one who inspired this note I wanted all who read it to see both sides of the conversation. I think this is a very important topic and one all Christians should evaluate. I believe wealth in every area of your life will result from choosing life/blessing. Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord brings wealth and he adds no sorrow to it.

Here is the messages that were sent between Trent and myself.

I don't want wealth.

I hope that helps. I love you, Tamara.

Thanks,
Trent

What is your definition of wealth?
More importantly what is God's?

What is Mental Wealth's definition?
----------------------------
Well I don't think that is is right for me to put a definition on the company... it is not my company.

However, the purpose of mental wealth is to shift your belief in things that are not serving you in your goals for your life. One of the things that they say is "it is not right its not wrong it just is". What you believe just is. The definition you have just is. If you took a poll world wide and asked "Is Trent Fuller wealthy?" I am sure millions would believe you are.

Was Adam wealthy? Christ was rich and became poor for us. Do you think a billionare is wealthy in God's eyes? There is only one inheritance that I think God think's is worth anything and you already have it all. What are you missing out on by saying you don't want wealth? Does God want you to have wealth?

----------------------------
I find it hard to believe that a company called "mental wealth" refuses to define either of those two words, ... preferring it to mean whatever you want it to mean.

What is just is, whether you believe it or not.
One cannot bend reality except by delusion. Correct me if I am wrong.

"""What are you missing out on by saying you don't want wealth?"""

A man seeking something proves by his pursuit that he does not believe that he has that which he is seeking.

The incontent seek that which others have or are content without.

"""Does God want you to have wealth?"""

If you are talking about material wealth (mammon) then provided that God wants anyone on the planet to have wealth, there is precious little that anyone can do to stop Him.

However, if you are talking about real wealth (not the illusion which moth can destroy and time will decay) then that gift is given to all but not forced for it requires intimacy with God through the union of Spirit and man ... and God does not force Himself on those He loves who also forbear His offer. Thus each of us must take the decision for ourselves ... that is to choose the richness of Eternal Life through the Lord Jesus or the poverty of utter death.

Ripening,
Trent

Mental Wealth does have definitions, however, their definitions won't change results or in some instances bring freedom for someone else. One's results are strictly a product of what one believes. They are commited to helping people discover beliefs that are causing subconscience decsions and chaning the beliefs that are not causing desired results.

As for your answers...
1 God tells us to seek. (the Kingdom of God)
2 Abundance is what we have inherited ( As He IS so ARE we in THIS world)

3 Yes and no. God sees us as wealthy Kings weather we sow and reap it in the natural or not. He will restore all who choose him to Complete prosperity in heaven. In the mean time, we have dominion over this earth and we have been given the choice of Life or death, Blessing or cursing. If we sow death with our thoughts or beliefs that will cause our words and actions to line up. We will reap poverty and death and cursing in our results. When Adam had it all, his sin interupted (dare I say stoped) the flow of blessing. If you choose death you will never be rich money or not. If you choose Life you shall not want for any good thing. God delights in the prosperity of his servant.

4 I used to feel the way you do about richness being in salvation only. I saw others who felt that way too. But then they found that Salvation is just part of the Blessing God has for us. We have the keys to the Kingdom and we can loose or bind things in earth and heaven for his Glory. The gospel of the Kingdom is what Christ taught and asked us to teach. Thy Kingdom come. He will not return until the Church is teaching and operating in the Kingdom on this earth.

I think this whole experience of wealth or poverty is probably as varied as there are Christians and God's work with each according to our individual nature. However, I think God's Kingdom will come at the time He has appointed it and He is not dependent upon the choices we make. Even though He has granted us choice, He remains wholey sovereign. Our choice is a part of His grand design but His choice is the directive, ours is only responsive.

I say this from the perspective of someone who, at one time, place a great deal of weight on the responsibility of man and woman and saw control in that. It took some pretty hard falls in my life to realize how much noncontrol I have. There was no wealth for me, no inner most desires met, in my own strength or good choices. My wealth is Jesus. I'm wealthy no matter where I find my self, at the top of the heap or the bottom. The reality is that I have never and still do not own anything but my Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills and He makes sure I have just what I need; and any extra He places in my stewardship but it still belongs to Him.
