There are prosperity teachers and preachers out there saying that if we are walking in the LORD Jesus Christ, we won't have to go through any difficulties, if we just name and claim good things they are ours. That just isn't Biblical. I use a story about a teacup to help illustrate that God is the potter and we are the clay. We go through some hard times in order to become what He intends for us to be. I hope this blesses you!
