The salient point of this discourse centers upon the notion that prosperity in heaven is not merely an abstract goal but rather an intrinsic atmosphere characterized by the presence of God. As we engage in our exploration of Heaven's Culture, we delve into the profound understanding that the environment of heaven is devoid of fear, anxiety, and scarcity, thriving instead in an abundance that emanates from divine glory. This episode elucidates how believers are called to manifest this heavenly atmosphere on Earth, thereby cultivating an environment replete with faith, peace, and generosity. We further examine the imperative that prosperity is not contingent upon material possessions but is fundamentally linked to alignment with God's nature and presence. Ultimately, I invite you to reflect upon the atmosphere you inhabit and consider how it may be transformed to mirror the divine prosperity of heaven.

The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it.

For the glory of God gives it light.

Revelation 21:3.

Welcome back to our series Heaven's Culture, A journey into understanding prosperity not from Earth's perspective, but from heaven's reality.

In the last message, Streets of Gold, Gates of Pearl, we learned that heaven is not a place of scarcity.

It is a place of intentional glory and abundance.

God uses gold and pearls not to provoke greed, but to reveal human his standard, his beauty and his nature.

Prosperity in heaven is not about possession.

It is about alignment with who God is.

This series is not about chasing money.

It is about understanding that prosperity begins with God, flows from God and reflects God.

Today, we take the next step.

If heaven's materials tell us about God's value system, today we discover something deeper.

Heaven's atmosphere reveals God's prosperity.

Mindset.

You are breathing something every environment carries.

Something invisible but powerful.

Think about walking into a funeral.

You feel grief before anyone speaks.

A courtroom.

You feel authority before the judge enters a gym.

You feel discipline before the weights move.

A toxic workplace.

You feel tension before the emails arrive.

A loving home.

You feel warmth before the people hug you.

Atmospheres speak.

Atmospheres shape behavior.

Atmospheres create expectation.

Atmospheres program your mind.

Now imagine heaven's atmosphere, the environment of God's immediate presence.

There is no fear.

There is no anxiety.

There is no uncertainty.

There is no shortage.

There is no running out.

There is no desperation.

There is no depression.

There is no decline.

There is no insufficiency.

Heaven does not merely have prosperity.

Heaven breathes prosperity.

It is the atmosphere, it is the climate, it is the environment.

Heaven does not experience prosperity.

Heaven is prosperity.

And Jesus told us to pray on earth as it is in heaven.

Meaning the atmosphere we live in on earth is meant to reflect the atmosphere of heaven.

The thesis of this message is that prosperity in heaven is not a goal.

It is an atmosphere of God's presence.

Believers are called to live in and manifest the atmosphere on earth.

An atmosphere of faith, peace, sufficiency, generosity and divine provision.

Heaven's prosperity begins with God's presence.

Let's take a moment to pause, brothers and sisters.

Heaven does not need external energy sources.

God is the power grid.

God is the light.

God is the supply.

Where God is, nothing is missing.

Where God is, provision is natural.

Where God is, resources flow without effort.

Lack is not absent in heaven.

Lack is impossible in heaven.

This means prosperity is not something God does.

Prosperity is something.

God is.

Where God's presence is honored, prosperity follows.

Where God's presence is diminished, scarcity begins to dominate.

This is why David said, the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want in Psalm 23:1.

Not because sheep are smart, not because pastures are plentiful, but because presence eliminates want.

Heaven does not fight for prosperity.

Heaven floats in it.

On earth, prosperity is a battle.

People compete for it, Companies strategize for it, Governments legislate for it.

Nations fight wars over it.

But in heaven, there is no competition.

There is no scarcity.

There is no economic tension.

There is no fear of the future.

This is because heaven's prosperity is not economic, it is atmospheric.

Heaven prospers simply because nothing resists God.

Nothing opposes God, and nothing restricts God.

The absence of resistance creates the absence of prosperity.

Where the will of God is uncontested, prosperity flows as naturally as oxygen.

The glory of God is Heaven's economy.

In our world, economies run on gold reserves, oil markets, interest rates, labor forces, supply and demand, government regulations.

But in heaven, there is one economy, the glory of God.

The glory is the energy of heaven.

The glory is the currency of heaven.

The glory is the system of heaven.

The glory is the power of heaven.

Where God's glory is, everything flourishes.

When Moses face began to shine simply because he was near the glory, what does this mean?

It means that when glory increases, stagnation breaks.

When glory increases, dryness ends.

When glory increases, resources multiply.

When glory increases, what was dead begins to live.

Prosperity is not primarily financial.

It is the flourishing that happens wherever God is fully present.

Prosperity in heaven has no corruption.

On earth, prosperity is often mixed with pride, greed, corruption, fear, competition and exploitation.

But in heaven, prosperity is pure.

It carries no sinful residue.

It lifts without crushing, it multiplies without stealing.

It beautifies without corrupting.

Heaven is prosperous because heaven is holy.

And hear this clearly.

Holiness is the soil in which prosperity grows.

This is why God tells Joshua in Joshua 1:8.

Be careful to obey.

Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Prosperity grows in obedience, the same way plants grow in sunlight.

The wrong atmosphere produces wrong prosperity.

Heaven's atmosphere produces pure prosperity.

If you are a citizen of heaven, a citizen of the kingdom, you carry heaven's atmosphere.

Philippians 3:20 tells us, Our citizenship is in heaven.

You cannot be a citizen of heaven while breathing the atmosphere of fear.

You cannot be a citizen of heaven while thinking like a beggar.

You cannot be a citizen of heaven while panicking over provision.

Citizens carry the culture of their homeland you carry heaven's faith, peace, sufficiency, generosity, stability, hope and expectation.

A believer who understands this does not say, I hope God comes through.

A citizen says, I expect God to supply.

It is his nature.

A believer under the world's atmosphere says, times are hard.

A believer under heaven's atmosphere says, God is my source.

A believer under heaven's limitations says there isn't enough.

A believer under heaven's climate says, with God, there is always enough.

The difference is atmosphere.

Now, how to manifest heaven's atmosphere on earth?

Here is where Prosperity becomes practical.

1.

Practice heaven's language.

Atmosphere is carried by speech.

Speak life, speak abundance, speak faith, speak hope, speak scripture.

Your home becomes heaven like when heaven's language is heard daily.

2.

Maintain an atmosphere of worship.

Heaven is full of worship and worship creates prosperity atmosphere.

Where God is exalted, things rise.

Where God is magnified, not minimized, lack loses power.

3.

Give generously.

Generosity is the oxygen of heaven.

Heaven does not hoard.

Heaven overflows.

When you give freely, you break scarcity and inhale heaven's climate.

4.

Stay obedient to God's instruction.

Heaven flows in order.

Disobedience creates spiritual pollution.

Obedience restores atmosphere.

Every instruction obeyed is a door opened.

5.

Walk in peace, not panic.

Anxiety is the atmosphere of hell.

Peace is the atmosphere of heaven.

Maintain peace, protect peace, guard peace.

7.

What prosperity looks like when the atmosphere is right?

When you live under heaven's atmosphere, money flows but money does not rule.

Ideas come easily because panic has left your mind.

Opportunities appear because faith attracts them.

You stop making decisions from fear.

You stop limiting God.

You stop begging and start believing.

You lift others without insecurity.

Prosperity is not what is in your hands.

Prosperity is what is in your atmosphere.

Here are some questions for reflection.

1.

What atmosphere do I live under daily heavens or the worlds?

Do my words reflect fear or abundance?

3.

How can I increase worship and reduce worry this week?

4.

What part of heaven's atmosphere do I need most?

Faith, peace, generosity or worship?

5.

Where have I allowed scarcity to control my decisions?

Instead of heaven's sufficiency, let us pray.

Father, thank you for revealing that prosperity in heaven is not an event, but an atmosphere.

Teach us to breathe the air of heaven on earth.

Remove every scarcity mindset.

Break the power of fear, worry and limitation.

Fill our lives with your peace.

Glory, generosity and sufficiency.

Make us carriers of heaven's climate.

Wherever we go, let our homes, our work, our thinking and our decisions reflect your abundance.

In Jesus, mighty name, Amen.
