    Understanding Divine Prosperity

    Understanding Divine Prosperity

    The implication of what you are saying is that the preceding verses does not also apply to us. 1). You mean the Church does not have changed hearts yet, only the Jews (as verse 26 says) 2) You mean the Church under the new covenant does not have the Spirit put in them already, only the Jews...
