The God Knows What We Need
According to a report in 2016 on states of belief in America, not all the Americans are brainwashed by Satan trying to make people love and revere money and material wealth:
Most Americans don’t buy the prosperity gospel—especially if they have money.
Two-thirds (63 percent) disagree with the idea that God will always reward true faith with material blessings. A quarter agree. Twelve percent are not sure.
Men (28 percent) are more likely to believe in the prosperity gospel than women (22 percent). Poor Americans—those with incomes under $25,000—are more likely (28 percent) to agree than those with incomes over $100,000 (20 percent).
Those with high school degrees or less (33 percent) are more likely to believe that God blesses the faithful with material blessings than those with graduate degrees (18 percent).

From the beginning, the history tells that Christ Jesus did not walk around in the world to distribute money to people. It is written in the Gospels that Christ Jesus denied temptation by a devil promising Him wealth and money.
Money and material wealth might make people materially happy, but they are useless for salvation of souls of people for which Christ Jesus came to this world. Rather, to become materially happy by acquiring money and material wealth, people tend to accept any evil, wrong doing or crimes, denying the teachings of the God and Christ Jesus.
It is reasonable that many Americans who have obtained higher education and incomes have found that their achievements do not contribute to solving their internal problems and relieving them of internal problems. But Americans without sufficient educational records and wealth might think that their problems would be solved only if they have enough education and wealth.
Wise and experienced men must find that money creates more problems that it solves problems at hand. Thoughtful, sensible, and pious men must find that desire for material happiness, success and money is the source for evil, since men tend to justify their wrong doing with necessity for money. People often think that they have to be happy so that they have to get money and thus they have to do any evil to get money, which rejoices Satan.
The core of the teaching of Christ Jesus is that rich men cannot enter into Heaven but poor men can. It is the basic conditions before the issue whether a man has faith in the God or not. Christ Jesus is unique in declaring that a man cannot love both the God and money at the same time. Being rich means to accept every evil necessary for a man to get money and become rich, which is what Satan wants.
The Gospels should read as a report of the battle between the God or Christ Jesus and Satan. Men must not pursue money with which for them to be rich. Men must be satisfied only with what the God gives to them.
Matthew 6
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
To believe that the God knows what we need before we ask Him is the faith according to teaching by Christ Jesus.

John 2 King James Version
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
