This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Many people don’t plan via budgeting (tracking
income verses expenses) and thus are not properly prioritizing the use of
their money in God-honoring ways. Many who currently lack resources act as if
they cannot get food, clothing, transportation, and sometimes shelter free of
charge from different sources, when truly in need. Very often these things can
be obtained without spending any of their own money or not much at all.
Sometimes, because they do not want to make short-term sacrifices to get to a
better, more lucrative financial position. Many people try to hold onto houses
with mortgages currently above their ability to pay. Sometimes, pride makes
them want to continue to try and impress other people. Other times, it makes
them not want to feel embarrassed or be ridiculed by other people. Don’t let
the American Dream become your American Nightmare.
Look for and accept less costly
alternatives over the short haul in order to make ends meet during tough
financial times, so you can begin to grow and never have to be in that position
again. For as long as necessary, consider buying items and paying expenses only
as guided by a reasonable monthly budget (giving saving spending plan)
where you’ll look to increase income and search for less costly shelter, get
rid of high-cost vehicles, search clearance racks, and cut consumption to get
other expense savings large and small. By faith believe a number of suitable
options that will positively affect your financial situation will be available
when you’re faced with an emergency or catastrophe you could not predict,
foresee, or get around (recent layoff, surgery, death of a bread winner,
etc.). Looking for, asking for, and utilizing such options in line with
budgeting helps you properly prioritize spending against income and assets, and
against filling your ledger with further liabilities (debts). This
lifestyle will help you survive and overcome financial storms and grow wealth
throughout the course of your life.
Satan’s tactics have always sought to
deceive you into thinking financial strength is obtained via leveraging loans (debt),
building credit history for future loan acquisitions, and spontaneously getting
all that your eyes desire. He also hopes you see little to no benefit in having
an appropriate emergency fund, saving adequately for future needs, and
investing in equity vehicles that produce far higher historical annual average
growth than fixed-income vehicles. His plan devastates you over time and
continually exposes you to greater risk than the LORD (who seeks to bless
you) intends for you to bear. When you spend all you make and continually
get loans to buy everything you desire, the day will come when you will have a
mountain of bills you cannot pay and many headaches & problems. Don't be
fooled, whether you're considered rich, middle-class, or poor you can get into
a habit of overspending net income and thus end up in financial bondage and/or
ruin.
A budget helps measure all your
expenses, so you know when you're living above your means. It provides
flexibility when income changes over time. It helps you see expenditures to
eliminate or reduce to allow you have a life of Godly purpose, joy, and peace
while eliminating worry and its accompanying stress. When your budget includes
honoring God first via tithing & offering, you have a potent combination
that is supernaturally charged to prosper you to take care of your family
needs, give to plant and water gospel seeds in many people’s hearts, share with
others in need, and not too far in the future be able to obtain, when
appropriate, things that you desire without putting yourself in financial
bondage again.

The book at the link below provides principles and
practical steps that help you use the Power To Get Wealth. By
1992, we had $135,000 of debt and a negative $35,000 net worth. Financial
bondage and turmoil led me to seek principles and a process for employing good
stewardship. As a result, we became constructively debt-free in 1998, mortgage
free January 2004, millionaires in 2012, multi-millionaires shortly thereafter,
and retired in 2018 in my mid-fifties from public servant jobs while giving
abundantly to fund the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ. The same power is
available to you!
