Preface
The Body of Christ at large has suffered tremendously by being ignorant of
God's laws of prosperity and of God's will concerning their prosperity. For the most
part, Christians have not had a full supply.
Many have simply been ignorant of what the Word has to say; others have tried
to hold on to every dime they have, saving for a rainy day. They talk about how hard
it is to have any money and how it's even harder to hold on to it once they have it!
Money just seems to fly away from them because they haven't operated on God's
system of giving and receiving in their finances. But money cometh to the Body of
Christ!
More than a year ago, the Lord gave me this revelation of "Money cometh." At
first, I thought He gave it to me just to bless me and my family, because "Money
cometh" began working mightily in our lives, bringing about a tremendous change
for the better in our finances.
But soon after I received the revelation and saw what it was doing in our own
lives, God began dealing with me about sharing it with the Body of Christ. This truth
can change the life of every believer who wants to be free from financial bondage! It
has already had a profound impact on many who have heard and heeded the
message.
The Lord wants to establish a money-covenant with believers such as only a
few have experienced until now. As more and more Christians receive the revelation
of divine prosperity in their spirit and act on what they've received, they will march
out of poverty on a straight path toward divine prosperity!
But it takes Bible information to change a person's situation. You need to be
confident in the Word of God and convinced of the will of God so that as boldly as
you could say, "I'm saved by the blood of the Lamb!" or "By Jesus' stripes I'm
healed!" you could also say, "God meets my every need, and I have an abundant
supply!"
God wants Christians to get past the mind-set of always looking to get
something, but to instead have the mind-set of giving big to the Gospel with plenty
left over to live an abundant life! He wants others to ask them, "How did you get to
where you are?" so they can say, The Lord has brought me out! Money cometh to
the Body of Christ!"
Whatever your vocation in life, if you are God's child, God wants to show
Himself strong on your behalf and raise you up financially. And He wants the world
5
to see Him do it! Money cometh to the Body of Christ! That means money cometh
to you!
The Lord is going to finance the propagation of His Gospel throughout the
earth, and He wants to use some of your money to do it! It is my prayer that as a
willing vessel, you will let Him take you higher and higher into a new realm of
financial prosperity as you walk in the fullness of the good things He has prepared
for you.

Chapter 1
Money Cometh To the Body of Christ!
1
All the commandments which I command thee this day shall
ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and GO IN and
POSSESS THE LAND which the Lord sware unto your fathers.
—Deuteronomy 8:1
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my
righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be
magnified, which hath PLEASURE in the PROSPERITY of his
servant.
—Psalm 35:27
God has given me an assignment to teach the Body of Christ about
prosperity. He wants His people to know that it is His will and good
pleasure to prosper them. And God wants the Body of Christ to take back
what the devil has stolen.
The Lord wants us to go in and possess the land of prosperity that He
has already provided for us in Christ. God the Father has pleasure in the
prosperity of His people! He has pleasure in their financial well-being.
God wants His children to have money, not to be broke and in poverty.
That is what I am going to talk about in this book: money! Money
cometh to the Body of Christ!
These two prophetic words "Money cometh" came to me from the
Lord for the Body of Christ. The Lord showed me that through these two
words together, "Money cometh," the Body of Christ will come out of
certain situations such as financial hardships and lack.
The power of the words "Money cometh" can carry out a certain
action in your life. It can activate the power to cause money to come to
you.
If you're in the Body of Christ, say this out loud: "Money cometh to
the Body of Christ! That means money cometh to me! God wants me with
plenty of money so I can carry out His covenant. Money cometh to me—
today, tomorrow, the next day—every day. Money cometh!"
Now say this: "God does not want me to barely get by. I won't accept
barely getting by. Money cometh!"

8 Money Cometh to the Body of Christ!
You've got to "talk up" if you want it. Don't sit around and say
nothing. Talk up! Say, "Money cometh!"
Wealthy But Not Worldly
Money is not evil. But the devil has lied to us and has told us that
money is evil. He has told us, "The 'broker' you are, the closer you are to
God." Have you ever heard that? The devil has tricked people into
believing that if you're godly and humble, you don't want much.
In this book, I want to teach you how to be wealthy and happy, or
how to be wealthy and not be worldly. There is a way to be wealthy and
not worldly.
You see, what's happened is, the devil has told the Church that people
who are wealthy are worldly because they have so much.
Because people in the Church are prosperous and blessed, the devil
labels them as worldly. He shows us the complete opposite of what the
Lord wants us to see.
How does the devil label wealthy people as worldly? Out of church
people's mouths! When people begin to prosper in the Body of Christ, the
devil wants us to call them worldly. The devil wants us to believe that they
are after money and that's all they're after because they have so much.
But no, most of the time, that wealthy person is a person the Lord is
blessing. And we shouldn't call him worldly. We should call him worthy
because he is in God's plan and will.
In prospering us, God is only doing what He wants to do for His
children—His sons and daughters. He has been saying it down through the
ages. It's preachers who have not been saying it! But God wants us out of
debt. He wants us out of distress, and He wants us out of discouragement.
And the only way that can happen is not just by singing, "Hallelujah," but
by actually prospering.
There's a Practical Side to Divine Prosperity
This book will give you some scriptures and some faith confessions to
make in order to help you get your finances straight. But there are also
some practical steps you need to take.
For example, if you don't have a savings account, open one. I don't
know how much money it takes to open a savings account in your area. I
opened mine years ago, but when those people at the bank first told me
how much money it took to open a savings account, I didn't have enough
to open the thing (they don't do all that paperwork for $2.00!).
If you don't have a savings account, you don't have a storehouse for
Money Cometh To the Body of Christ! 9
the Lord to put anything in! You don't have to have $1,500 or some large
amount to have a savings account. Just find out what the minimum
requirement is, and then make sure you put your name in the bank—open
an account with your name on it—so you can have a place where you can
deposit money.
Then once you have a savings account, you need to train yourself to
go to the bank and put money into your account. It doesn't matter how
little the amount, go put it into your account.
So open yourself a savings account. If you're married, put the account
in you and your spouse's name.
That brings me to another point. I don't believe in all this "separate
account" mess or "his and hers" accounts! You made a vow when you
were married. You said, "We're one." You can't confess, "Money
cometh!" and then turn around and holler, "My money!" The Lord isn't
going to give anybody money who's hollering, "This is my money!" No,
money cometh to those who say, "Everything I have, use it, Lord; it's all
Yours. I am what I am because You made me what I am. I'm not going to
reserve and hoard this money just for my purposes. Lord, whatever You
want to do with it is fine with me."
So get rid of those separate accounts. A house divided shall not stand
(Matt. 12:25; Mark 3:25; Luke 11:17). When husbands and wives have
"his and hers" accounts, the devil has them split. God can't bless that. God
is not going to give His money to a divided house.
Let me clarify something about having separate accounts, because
there are some exceptions. Some of you have to have a separate account.
If you have a husband, for example, who's not doing what's right, you can't
put all the money in one pot with him, because he's not going to act right.
You've got to hold a little something back for you and the children. If you
don't, he might spend it all. He might give his gal or mistress all the
money! That's all that mistress wants anyway. She might be talking, "I
love you," but she wants a new dress!
It's situations like that that have little children going hungry. "Daddy"
is out there good-timing and partying while his little children at home
don't get anything come Christmastime but a little truck with a wheel
missing! The other little children in the neighborhood are riding around on
big toy tractors, but his children are doing without. So sometimes a
married person has to have a separate account at the bank.
Whatever your situation, you need to have a savings account so you
can have a storehouse for God to bless. Another thing you need to do is
stop buying things on credit you don't need just because you see them. Get
out of debt. I'll talk more about that later.
10 Money Cometh to the Body of Christ!
God Wants You To Have Money!
I'm not preaching something I don't know about. I'm preaching
"Money cometh" because it's working for me. Almost every four days
somebody gives me a check! My church is out of debt—way out of debt!
And the same spirit that is upon our church should be on you.
One man from North Carolina hunted me up recently and gave me a
check, crying, '"Money cometh' has changed my whole business! My wife
and I are so blessed. Money 'cometh' from everywhere! So here, Brother
Thompson," and he handed me a check. "I want you to have some
money!"
I said, "Thank you." (Don't get the money and then forget about the
preacher. He may believe "money cometh" too. I know I believe it!)
God wants us to have money. To prove it by the Word, let's look
again at our texts in Deuteronomy and Psalms.
DEUTERONOMY 8:1
1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye
observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess
the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers.
PSALM 35:27
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous
cause: yea, let them say continually. Let the Lord be magnified,
which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
We have to establish the fact that God wants money in the pocket, in
the savings account, in the house, in the checkbook—for every Christian,
every believer. He wants you to have it! And in this book, I'm going to tell
you why He wants you to have it and how to get "Money cometh" working
in your life.
Prosperity Begins With Obedience
Deuteronomy chapter 8 gives us some specific direction for being in
the will of God. And if you're in the will of God according to
Deuteronomy 8:1, you'll be financially blessed. Notice the first part of
Deuteronomy 8:1: "All the commandments which I command thee this
day shall ye observe to do..." You have to be a doer of God's
commandments to receive God's blessings.
Oh, I like that, don't you! In other words, just what He tells you to do
about finances, you've got to do. You've got to make up your mind that
you're going to be a doer of God's commandments or His Word on the
subject of finances.
Money cometh to the Body of Christ! But before "money cometh" to
