MoneyWalk 215: The Voice Inside

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

There are many voices in the world and we must listen to what they're saying and discern whether the voice is of almighty / all-knowing, ever present God. When it’s not Him, the voice is either your own, someone else’s, or satan’s (could be through fallen angels – what we call devils / demons). None of the latter voices can be good for you since the Lord is the only one who knows what is absolutely best for you.

This does not mean that other people cannot speak the will of God to you and give you guidance that comes from His wisdom, yet satan will never lead you by God’s wisdom. You should certainly learn to listen to other people and discern whether or not their guidance is in accordance with the Lord’s will. However, you should cut off (bind and cast out) the voice of satan once you know he is trying to impart to you because scripture lets you know all he wants to do to you and everyone else is steal, kill, and destroy on earth so that you like him will not experience the heavenly eternity that God wants for you.

By praying to the Lord and studying the bible to understand the principles and promises almighty God established only for those that choose Jesus Christ as savior, you learn the difference in the voices, why the Lord’s is good for you to obey, that the other voices are bad for you to follow, and to differentiate the voices.

Until you understand the Lord’s voice and the goodness the scripture tell you it points you to, the other voices will sound similar and the emotional appeal they emit and produce in you may appear to be from the Lord because satan and other fallen angels most often try to make you believe they are angels of light. They will communicate half-truths and/or truth with the wrong motive like satan did when he confronted Jesus after He fasted 40 days in the wilderness and was weary, hungry, and thirsty.

Knowing the word of God helps you discern that these unholy spirits are putting on a facade. These enemies of righteousness come to destroy your fellowship with God and the saints, your marriage, career, success, and prosperity. They want to convince you that God hasn't established principles leading to your financial health or that the money management actions they suggest are God's principles. If they can trick you into believing and managing according to their will, then they tighten their grip on you and cause you to operate outside of God's will.

They'll say borrow, spend, and waste as much as possible on your desires because God wants you to have everything you desire and have the finest at all cost, but you must know the voice of God so that you steer clear of satan's plan and do not despise the day of small beginnings, and allow the Lord to bless you in His timing according to His specific purpose for you on this earth. In this way, you will please the Lord who called you and be ever profitable to Him for everyone else’s sake.

Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!

MoneyWalk 214: Financial Dexterity

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Christians should learn to be skilled at what God calls us to do. The Holy Ghost gives the understanding necessary for this skillfulness because He stands ready to qualify everyone God has called to a particular ministry.

Ministry is any full-time or part-time work / service you engage where the input conforms to biblical principles for living and where the output produces godly fruit and/or income that will support the great commission that Jesus gave the church. You also have this mission individually because you are a member of the body of Christ. When you work as unto the Lord, recognizing Him as Creator, King, and Lord of all then your work in any legitimate industry qualifies as ministry (politics, business, sports, government regulation, pastoral care, evangelism, etc.).

No matter how many vocations you have at one time, your God-given priority is to make sure that you input godliness and output good fruit into that work. This is also true in your vocation as manager over God's possessions. Everything you have is really His and you are simply a steward over a portion of His estate. Therefore, you want to be clever about managing His belongings in order to get the most out of them.

Never say you don't have enough money to manage (tithe, eliminate debt, save, invest, and diversify), otherwise your mind will then focus on spending all the income you receive. This will lead to a life of debt bondage where you recklessly take out loans to finance purchase unrealistic present desires that won't allow you to properly tithe, save, and invest for greater future returns.

It takes spiritual dexterity in order maintain a positive outlook and follow the Lord instructions for managing finances in both good times and bad times. The Holy Spirit resides in you and gives you needed dexterity to throw touchdown passes with either hand so that, throughout life, you are profitable, blessed, and prosperous to the Kingdom, yourself, and other people.

Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
