"But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
"For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
"A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." (James 1: 6-8)
This passage grants to us insight on how we may have our soul prosper (3 John 2)
We prosper in our soul if we are walking in truth (3 John 3-4), which means that we walk according to grace and not the law:
"For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." (John 1: 17)
If we are under law, then we are also of divided mind, or rather "double-souled" as James writes in the original Greek.
We are called to rightly divide the Word of God (2 Timothy 2: 15), receiving that we are no longer under law, but called to believe and receive Himself, that His grace may live and thrive in us.
To prosper in ways and means, our soul must prosper, and our souls prosper when we are walking in grace and truth, not trying to live yet living in bondage to the "letter that kills" (2 Corinthians 3: 6).
