#241 How to Prosper With Purpose

Last week's episode was a hot one – as we covered how to promote and sell your products and services online. If you haven't listened to episode #240 of The Ray Edwards Show, we recommend that you do so.

This week, we're tackling the issue that really holds most people back – their conflicting beliefs about money and prosperity. And even if you were born after 1990, even if you were raised on Adam Smith and your mama read you bedtime stories by Ayn Rand… you probably still have some of these inner conflicts you're gonna have to deal with someday if you ever want to reach your full entrepreneurial potential.

Spiritual Foundations

Do you  need wisdom to make decisions in your business? Ask God! He is ready to help.

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.” – Genesis [41:39]-40

No matter how bad things got, Joseph always trusted God as the source of his wisdom.

  1. Joseph started out “in the pit” – literally.
  2. Then he was sold into slavery.
  3. Then he was thrown into prison.

But no matter where he was thrown, or what was thrown at him, Joseph turned to God for wisdom to make decisions. He ended up running the household of his master. He ended up running the prison. And in the end, he ended up running the foreign nation that had taken him captive – Egypt!

Final Thought

Sean: “Not only do you have permission to prosper, but if you want to change the world, you have a mandate to prosper.”

Ray: My prayer for you is that you will see more and more that God is doing exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. And that power is the Spirit of God Himself!

Live life fully alive, refuse to suffer, go forth and prosper with purpose!
