Many people believe the lie that it's their heritage to live the american dream no matter what the cost. Believers and unbelievers alike allow satan to destroy their lives by making ownership of new material possessions a constant and the highest priority pursuit. On average, we purchase bigger homes every seven years and new cars every few years and expensive jewelry and clothing in even shorter intervals. We borrow money on a level that is four to five times greater than our income and getting larger all the time.
We believe we must borrow all that money because a 1500 sq. ft. house like the one we lived in with parents and four siblings is just not large enough for us and our two kids. Also, we think our three-year-old car was about to breakdown and cost us a whole lot more to repair in the future. I'm not against people enjoying material things that bring more comfort to their lives. However, God said people will have many frustrations and bondage when they are in debt, lack substantial savings, and love material things.
Satan excels at leading people who act by human instinct into such bondage by convincing you that the things you desire are needs. Yet, God's dream is infinitely better than the american dream because it will free you from bondage and ensure you are blessed eternally and naturally well into the future by helping you eliminate debt to build abundant savings and investments and increase giving to meet the spiritual and physical needs of others. In addition, you will have all that you need and much more.
Please pray for this ministry and email me with any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
Proverbs 21:17, Matthew 6:33, John 10:10, James 4:1-10
