When you commit your life to following God's financial plan, your prayers will take on a more warlike tone because you may find yourself struggling with negative habits and potentially costly situations in the early stages of carrying out your plan as well as complacency, pride, and arrogance tempting you in the later stages. You must remember that you don't wrestle against flesh and blood (other men), rather you're wrestling against principalities and powers (spiritual forces) that want to keep you from fulfilling God's purpose for your life.
Your financial trouble may appear to be another person, what you were taught growing up, or an earthly situation. However, a demonic spiritual force is behind every type of stewardship that does not lead people to live and manage money in the manner outlined in the bible. This means satan is continually working to convince people to handle finances in ways opposite the LORD’s instruction. Unfortunately, many people fall for his tactics.
One of the most important things you must do to relieve your financial burden is place your flesh under submission and bring yourself under obedience to God's standards. Then, God will rebuke the devourer for your sake and you'll have the ability to use the word of God and the armor effectively in the financial arena to bind and cast out wicked spirits, ungodly philosophies, and influencers causing you to mismanage money. This helps you loose prosperous money management habits into your life by the power of the Holy Spirit (such as (a) working as unto the LORD to earn ever increasing income, (b) developing a giving / saving / spending plan that pleases Him, (c) building an emergency fund, (d) eliminating debt, (e) refusing to cosign, (f) saving, (g) investing, and (h) diversifying).
When you've done all you can to be intimate with Him via worship (thanksgiving, praise, prayer, studying scripture, fellowshipping with like-minded Christians, and adhering to biblical financial principles), stand firmly on what the bible says is the truth of how to manage money. The diligent person produces great reward in his/her life for the LORD’s glory that His name will be heard and revered in all the earth and so many other people will be blessed via giving, alms, gifts, and ministry support.
Please pray for this ministry, email me with any questions, and contact me to speak at your business or ministry conference or workshop. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
