For those who preach prosperity and blessing theology I, quite frankly, am going to have fun poking holes in it. The first problem is, these people I believe, leave most of us believing that God wants everyone to be blessed and prosperous with no calamity. God DOES want His people to experience blessing, but it must be balanced with adversity. You will not have true blessing without it. And the blessing is not always money or material wealth. I do not believe you will hear prosperity theology advocates citing the following verses.

DART #1-II Timothy 3:12, "And, indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus, will be persecuted."

DART #2- I Peter 3:14, "Even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed."

DART #3- I Peter 4:14, "If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you."

DART #4- Consider Job and particularly Job 2:10, "...shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?..."

DART #5- Psalm 71:20, "Thou, who hast shown me many troubles and distresses, wilt revive me again."

DART #6- Isaiah 45:7, "The one forming light and creating darkness, causing well-being and creating calamity, I am the Lord who does all these."

DART #7- Proverbs 1:25-26, "And you neglected all my counsel, And did not want my reproof. I will even laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes."
