Ray Edwards Show The Pathway To Prosperity This Year
We’re talking about prosperity. That’s the word of the year with my company and with me.
What does it mean to prosper? We know that it means to do well financially, but it’s so much more than that. It’s your health, your relationships, it’s the ways you are fulfilled in life (such as growing as a person and contributing in a meaningful way to other people).
Prosperity is a fullness of life and a fulfilling way of living in every way possible.

Spiritual FoundationsThis week, I’m reading from Psalm 1 (the New Living Translation).
“Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on in day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.”
Tip of the WeekOne of my goals this year is to read through the Bible again in a year. My tip of the week is the Daily Audio Bible Mobile app. I used the Daily Audio Bible app last year. The new mobile app is a very pleasant and nearly effortless way to read through the Bible in a year. Brian, the guy who does the reading, is an excellent reader, that makes all the difference. He reads different translations throughout the year. The Daily Audio Bible Mobile app is available for android or iOS.
Feature Presentation: “The Pathway To Prosperity This Year”As I’ve been writing my book, Permission to Prosper, I’ve been thinking about how one can be more intentionally prosperous. For instance, let’s take Psalm one at face value, and recognize that if we’re in the group that God refers to as the righteous, then we are like trees planted by the river and everything we do prospers. That’s what He wants for us. The world is not perfect, of course, but what He wants for us is for us to prosper in all that we do.
How do we do that?
I’ve developed a 7 Step Prosperity Practice you can engage in every day as part of your morning routine. This practice will move you in the direction of your goals and dreams.
This is an amalgam of wisdom that I’ve learned from other people (great passages of Scripture and books by people like Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins, and Brian Tracy).
I practice these seven steps everyday.
They are constructed in a way that is meant to mirror the actual needs of your psychological self. If you’re familiar with Tony Robbins’ Six Human Needs psychology, then you know his hypothesis is that we have six psychological needs that are wired into our nervous system. So, the steps I’ve chosen are not arbitrary.
7 Step Prosperity Practice
- Calibrate Your State The three components for putting yourself into peak state are:
- Physical – what you do with your body (get moving and breathing)
- Mental – what you do with your mind (practice gratitude)
- Verbal – what you speak out of your mouth (declare truths over your life)
- Experience Gratitude Close your eyes and let gratitude flood your body and your mind.
- Match Your Desire with ClarityReview your goals and visualize experiencing the outcome of those goals.
- Address Problems as QuestionsTransform the problem in your mind from a problem to a question and ask …
- What’s great about this problem?
- What can I learn from this?
- What’s not perfect yet?
- What am I willing to do to make it the way I want it?
- What am I not willing to do to make it the way I want it?
- What does this make possible?
- How can I enjoy the process of dealing with this situation?
- Contribute in Some WayContribute in some way to the joy, peace, and prosperity of another human being.
- Make a Connection with Other People by Being Present with ThemLook them in the eyes, listen to them, value their presence and be present.
- Learn Something New Every DayLearn a new word, a Bible verse, a scientific fact or tidbit.
Each morning, in my journal I write down the answers to the seven questions based on my 10 Minute Prosperity Practice Journal Template.
It only takes me about 10 to 15 minutes to write all of this down, but writing it down is where the value is. As Dave McCullough says, “Writing is the doing part of thinking.” You haven’t done it until you write it down. It’s not real until you write it down.
If you want my 10 Minute Prosperity Practice Journal Template, then simply text the word “prosper” to 33444.
