To achieve financial prosperity we must apply the
principles of God. There is the law of sowing and reaping. The apostle
Pablo said:

Yamil Jiménez says: "If I want to raise a harvest of money, I never do it"
I will achieve it by sowing prayer, fasting, or praise, but rather by sowing money.

kingdom of God your harvest will be cents; if you sow soles your harvest will be
seeds, and if you plant thousands your harvest will be thousands. Because you will harvest from
according to the type of seed and the proportion of your planting. If you want to have
an abundant harvest in your finances, start sowing money in large amounts
quantities. God will honor the principle you are applying.
3. Waiting for the harvest time.

The book of Ecclesiastes says: Everything has its time, and everything that is
Under the sky, there is a time for everything. A time to be born, and a time to...
to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot what has been planted...
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-2).
This principle teaches us that the harvest will come but not in the
time that we want, but in the time that the law or the
the principle of sowing and reaping takes place. And to see our
harvest we need faith and expectation, we must wait believing
that our eyes will see it, it is just a matter of time, the harvest
it will come.

unleash blessings for health, family, children, marriages, businesses.

Many people who were involved in this apostolic and prophetic movement made

In life, there are four financial levels that a man will choose to live.
Son:
The scarcity
2. Sufficiency
3. Abundance
4. The overabundance
1. The scarcity.
Most people live at the level of scarcity, those who live within this
They have economic incapacity to cover their basic needs. They live
lacking in things, they cannot cover their expenses or pay their debts, they live
afflicted. Within this level we still have many children of God, but the
God's will is your prosperity. God wants to take you out of this condition and
bless them.

2. Sufficiency.
Within this level, there are many who live just enough to cover their
daily and weekly needs, but does not have the economic power to save,
buy things, enjoy a weekend, go on family vacations or travel to
foreigner, because what they earn is only enough to cover their basic needs. The
Christians living in this condition have great problems, as they do not

financially supporting the work of God, sowing into ministries or churches.

4. The overabundance.
In this fourth financial level, very few are living. In this level
they lived Abraham, Joseph, Job, Solomon; those who live at this level are the
multimillionaires, whom God has blessed with great wealth. The purpose
God's plan is to lead his children to the fourth financial level. To enter into the
abundance and in the superabundance we have to move in the revelation of the
sowing and the harvest.
It is your decision to live at the levels that
life presents itself, it is you who chooses to live in
scarcity, sufficiency, abundance or
overabundance; whatever you decide that to you
will come.
