III John verse 2 ” Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.”

Maybe you’ve heard it called the “Health and Wealth” Gospel…those that quote this particular scripture, propose that God’s Will for His children is for them to always have excellent health and prosper greatly. But if you look up the Greek word for pray, it simply expresses the desire or wishes of the Apostle John towards this person. In no way was he inferring that his friend would have perfect health forever. He was only hoping that this letter found his friend well and having a good and safe journey throughout his life, which signified the Lord’s benevolent provision for the needs of His children. John was very confident that his friend was “Spiritually” healthy, and trusted that everything else in his life was as good.
