Does the Bible promise prosperity if we do certain things? Leave a reply and let me know what you think.
Deuteronomy 5:33
Walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.

The LORD commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the LORD our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.

[ Prosperity After Turning to the LORD ] When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come upon you and you take them to heart wherever the LORD your God disperses you among the nations,
Deuteronomy 30:15

Proverbs 13:21 prosperity is the reward of the righteous.

Health
James 513 Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. 17 Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.
Anything
Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

I don’t agree with this new “prosperity” teaching that some churches teach. Yes, prosperity is guaranteed, but also suffering is taught, especially in the New Testament. When doctrines and beliefs are “unbalanced”, one to the exclusion of the other, that is when problems begin.
That is a good point,, there has to be a balance. Some people go to churches that emphasize the suffering and never talk about the blessings.
