MoneyWalk 318: Shake Off The Devil

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Jesus shed His blood for the redemption of your sin and God raised Him from the dead because He loves you and wants you to spend eternity with Him in heavenly places. As a free will being, you have a choice between accepting Him as Savior and rejecting Him. Acceptance brings you into the wonderful plan He has for your life now and throughout eternity. Rejecting Him puts you on a path to eternal torment if not repented of before this life is over because you in essence agree with the plan that the devil has for your life.

He uses demonic beings and unwary people to lead you to financial, personal, and family problems throughout your time on earth as well because his purpose is to steal from and destroy your life in order to spite God. Sometimes, the natural eye cannot see your turmoil especially when you have a good income and many of the comforts of life, but you know it's there.

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior & LORD and governing your life by His principles bring peace and joy to your life as well as fulfillment of purpose. He will show you practical methods like living by godly standards, spending within your means, eliminating debt, and tithing for ministry work to help you shake off the devil in order to live in the manner He's always planned for you and that would bring you the greatest blessing and reward.

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

MoneyWalk 317: Live In Abundance

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Many people think abundant living is something reached once you amass a million dollars or more in assets because this is often the financial situation men focus on as the one where a man has become rich. Not to mention, men often give even greater accolades to those that earn million dollar incomes. Almost every voice around us, even some in the Church, lift up people in these two categories as icons of God’s will for each man.

Certainly, these are great positions to be in as long as the path that leads one there is directly in line with a lifestyle that pleases the LORD and a plan in the center of His will for people on earth. There are many occupations that please Him and there are many that do not such as pornography and crime and there are many character traits pleasing to Him yet many that are not such as arrogance, lying, deceiving, and oppressing others. It is acceptable to Him to honor people that achieve and earn great incomes and assets who do so in accordance with His will. Yet, these are not the only people living abundantly and others who do so should also be honored.

People should also be praised who pursue missions ministry and those that faithfully serve and give in the local fellowship and community to evangelize and make disciples of other people at home and abroad. This includes the many people that to the natural eye don’t seem to be doing anything great or worthy of accolades, yet they are faithful in helping ministries be great at doing what is necessary to affect and infect the world for Christ, leading them to salvation and eternal life.

While men can do things on earth that may be praised because it helps other people in some way (provides jobs, find technologies that make work easier, help homeless people, etc.), we must learn to praise as godly only those whose communication and lifestyles lift up the LORD Jesus Christ and point to Him as Savior from the wrath that satan and those who remain unbelievers will bring upon themselves.

Abundant living that scripture speaks of will not come via money, yet having more than enough money to do all that God called you to do will be an intricate part of it. The LORD does not want you poor, broke, and in financial turmoil. Thus, the Holy Spirit speaks to us about good stewardship and desires that we pursue lifestyles and character that employ it. No matter your current level of income or assets, the following simple steps will discipline you, ready you for His work, let you know He is your source, and help you make His will the first priority in your life. First, consistently tithe to your local church. Second, develop and utilize a budget to stop overspending your income and use found money and income increases to build a $1,000 emergency fund while you pay off your debts. Third, seek to use your gifts, talents, and skills for greater income producing endeavors. Fourth, after all consumer debts are paid off, build your emergency fund to $10,000 and then focus on paying off your home mortgage. Thereafter, pursue reasonable investments with your much larger disposable income.

MoneyWalk 316: Destroy Lack In Your Life

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

In order for Christians to undo bondage they have been trapped in each Church must regularly speak the word of faith, in accordance with biblical instruction, during worship services when the vast majority of members are in attendance. Most members will not use greater levels of faith to accomplish the LORD’s will on Earth as it is in Heaven, when they are not taught what thus saith the LORD. They will go through life being mediocre at best, not understanding the lifestyle, character, and good works He wants them to do to show His glory in their lives and to other people. It is important to recognize our duty in helping destroy lack in the lives of others. The Holy Spirit moves upon what we teach to bind and employ it in the hearts of believing hearers.

Good financial stewardship is a subset of the life, character, and good works He wants us to display. Belief in and actions to engage require the same type of regular training. Each Church needs to regularly teach principles such as godly vision for fruitfulness and prosperity, declaring and proclaiming it for our lives, goal setting, working as unto the LORD in the marketplace and in ministry, giving abundantly, budgeting, eliminating debt, no cosigning, saving, investing, diversifying assets, and other helpful principles that lead to increased revenues for fulfilling the Great Commission. These things are connected with prayer, praise, worship, studying the Word, fellowship, and other Christian disciplines. Often, they will not be studied or engaged when they are not regularly taught.

The failure over many decades to properly train the body of Christ to earn and manage money according to biblical principles has resulted in Christians walking, talking, and acting like the world and sometimes not knowing that they should believe different or do better. Satan uses this lack of training as an opportunity to motivate people to constantly air beliefs and methods on media outlets that contradict biblical instruction. A lack of example of good biblically based stewardship by prominent Christians and an appearance of great prosperity by 2% of the unbelieving population of the world has many believers walking in hardness of heart against biblically based principles and methods. Though they have not found the beliefs and methods of the 2% working for them, they believe more in them and what they see than they believe what scripture says.

Of course some of what unbelieving financial pundits teach does not conflict with scripture, but people are directed to do it for the wrong reasons: the glory of self instead of the glory of God. Believers need to live in the reality that they need or want nothing that would be obtained outside of beliefs, principles, methods, and boundaries that line up with scripture. The Word makes it clear that it is better to eat bread with the poor than to dwell with the rich who are wicked and there is a situation on Earth that makes one look rich when really he is poor and a situation that makes one look poor when really he is rich. Lack will truly be destroyed when you align your work and ministry with biblical instructions that produce fruitfulness, prosperity, and profit.

MoneyWalk 315: Every Biblical Principle Is Important

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Every person who comes to Jesus Christ starts off as a baby with regard to the knowledge of His will. Through daily praise, worship, prayer, reading / studying scripture, and weekly fellowship with Christians they gain knowledge and understanding of His will in the same manner a baby is socialized / cultured by continual contact with parents. The baby Christian’s pathway allows godly principles to be instilled via ever deeper intimacy with Christ and mature Christians show how to use them. Over the years greater maturity is achieved that results in employment of biblical principles in his / her life.

Unfortunately, some think people they can please God and receive His blessing and reward by adhering to one of His principles (tithing for instance) but rejecting one or more of His other principles (employing debt-free living, failing to save, invest, etc.). Such a lifestyle is an abomination of God’s biblically stated desire for each person just as it would be if one were to pray, worship, and study the bible but decide that it is acceptable to engage pornography or criminal behavior. This lifestyle displeases the LORD and if not repented results in grave consequences.

As with anyone on the path to maturity, you will misjudge some things along the way and make mistakes, yet your heart being one with God’s heart will cause His mercy to overshadow you and His grace to carry you on to fulfillment of His purpose for your life. Loving God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength and loving your neighbor as yourself is the key to following all godly principles because you desire to employ them knowing He always, in every situation, has your best interest at heart.

Every pastor making sure that every biblical principle including each financial one is succinctly taught each year to the congregation to which he / she is appointed is necessary to make disciples of us, bring the blessing and reward that the LORD desires for us in the earth, and help us layup treasure in Heaven. This practice leads believers to put line upon line, precept upon precept, and principle upon principle to correct worldly lifestyles by initiating the plan of God for their lives.

MoneyWalk 314: The Right Kind Of Wisdom

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

Most people like to think they are wise and desire to be considered wise by other people. They seek ways of doing and obtaining things they believe will display their wisdom to those around them and to the world. However, being wise in their own eyes, they trust more in their own intellect, abilities, and networks to bring success to their lives than they trust in the living God.

The communication and activities of many people show they do not believe they can be anything worthwhile or important unless they do things the world’s way or at least compromise godly principles here or there. Their lustful minds say that riches, luxury, fame, and/or high corporate position will bring happiness and fulfillment to their lives. Thus, they pursue these things by any means necessary. Some convince themselves that the LORD is pleased with such pursuit even when the method is not consistent with His character and instructions. However, the bible shows that happiness and fulfillment come only through an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ as He imparts wisdom to make you truly successful in His eyes and to people who see things from His viewpoint.

God alone and no one else is able to impart real wisdom into your heart and mind that will help you live godly, please Him, and thus succeed in everything you do. This causes you to uncompromisingly employ His principles in your life no matter what situation you face because you understand that it’s better to be poor with godly integrity than to attain wealth, fame, or power through ungodly compromise. He wants you to be intimate with Him and seek His wisdom. This relationship gives you the power to get wealth, establish His covenant in the earth, be blessed, and bless many other people along the way.
