Jace mentioned this in a previous podcast where he talked about that line, be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect.

And he used the word teleos or telos for that word perfection, which means like essentially like this is your design intent purpose.

It's not like perfection.

It's not like.

That's not what he's talking about.

He's saying live in reality.

Live in your actual nature.

I think this is the nature that God's called us into, that when you are submissive to God, when you live in obedience to God, then prosperity does come your way.

I'm not talking about the prosperity gospel as a reward.

I'm simply saying that God's way, you do prosper.

I mean, you do.

I mean, if you do business honestly, in general, you're going to do better than someone who's dishonest.

If you are faithful in your marriage, you're going to have a more prosperous marriage and family.

And so you see this with Solomon.

When he was the king of Israel, they had these golden shields that they stuck in the ground.

I think the cedars of Lebanon, they stuck these shields in the ground and it was almost like we're so rich and we're so powerful that we're going to take gold and just shove it in the ground and then we're going to say, come take it.

And nobody said, we're not taking it.

We're not touching that stuff because we know that we can't take their...

They're too powerful.

They're too rich.
