This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Fulfilling such desires also works to destroy your financial well-being. When you do not properly budget and carefully plan purchases, your push to buy everything that seems good to your eyes, flesh, and pride will put you in debt bondage. It will obstruct your ability to honor God, fulfill your calling, and responsibly provide for your family.
Desires rage because we are fallen humans, yet we are also pushed these days via millions of advertisements to buy or rent thousands of products and services we really don’t need. They tend to show us only the glamorous side of having them but not the burden of being debt-ridden trying to purchase it all. Nor do they show the fallacy of thinking these things make you special or prosperous. You are special because God created you, never because of material things you’ve obtained. You are prosperous when your lifestyle and stewardship of money is pleasing to Him. So, make sure your outgo does not exceed your income, making your upkeep your downfall.
Before they make a purchase, many people don’t measure their ability to truly afford things they desire nor the cost that constant indebtedness will have on them and their families. They also don’t measure whether the purchase is wholesome in God’s eyes and will help propel the gospel or truly take care of a responsibility important to Him (such as caring for family, serving others, etc.). This brings grave financial problems into their lives.
To avoid this predicament, ask the following questions. First, is the desire, product, and/or service moral according to the bible? Second, will it augment godly relationships? Third, will the purchase impede my ability to tithe and give abundantly? Fourth, can I purchase it without taking on debt? Fifth, will the purchase hamper my ability to provide for family needs? Sixth, after the purchase will I still have a reasonable amount of emergency funds and investment assets? Purchasing only after “yes” answers to these questions will help you maintain good stewardship, eliminate financial bondage, and build wealth.
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!

The book at the link below provides principles and practical
steps that help you use the Power To Get Wealth. I was broke, busted, and
disgusted in 1992 with $135,000 of debt and a negative $35,000 net worth. I’ve
written and lectured on managing finances since 1993 when I began to learn
appropriate ways to better our family financial situation. I have been
debt-free since 1998 and became a multi-millionaire within 25 years while
giving abundantly to fund the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ. The same power
is available to help you!
