Sanctification
is the LORD’s will for you: to abstain from sexual immorality of all kinds by
knowing how to possess your body in honor.
I am confident the LORD, who began the good work in you, will continue until it is perfected on the day when Jesus Christ returns.
Be sober-minded in accordance with the faith God has given you; understand you are seated with Christ in heavenly places & an inheritor in His Kingdom.
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Jesus came so
you could have life and more abundantly in order to take care of all your God-given
responsibilities. The reality that after death you can live with Him in Heaven
should move you to love and obey biblical instruction that leads to the
abundant life He desires for you.
Your financial mindset must not come from the
lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, or the pride of life where you assume
His priority is to give you wealth to live in greater splendor and notoriety.
Rather, your mindset should be founded in the hope of everlasting life in
Christ so you use wealth to support the Great Commission while also
appropriately caring for your family and yourself. The enemy’s plan is to use
wealth to lead you to a place that is eternally hot and filled with the horror
of weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Many worldly people (even some that identify
themselves as Christians) instruct you to do things that make your carnal
desires your highest priority. This is incompatible with the mind of Christ,
bible instruction, the leading of the Holy Spirit, and spiritual maturity
because the will and way of almighty God is the highest priority for every true
believer. Good stewardship of your financial life including tithing and
offering is one of the ways you honor the LORD for being the provider of all
good things. It shows that money, material things, and earthly pleasures do not
control you, that you have not made idols of them, and that your priority in
life is fulfilling the Great Commandment and Commission.
Hope in Jesus Christ compels believers to preach,
teach, and live the gospel (including good financial stewardship) to
reconcile other people to Him. As a result, worthwhile dreams, aspirations, and
endeavors spring forth as He leads you into The Wealthy Place.
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!

Remember the LORD
your God, for He gives you power to get wealth to establish His covenant in the
Earth.
To truly be successful, in every area of your life (personal, ministry, and business) keep your eyes & priority on Jesus, the author and perfecter of true faith.
Display mercy. In
the spirit of meekness seek to restore those who have fallen, for the merciless
will receive no mercy. When necessary, the LORD will repay people for their
evil deeds.
In the day of trouble, the LORD lifts believers on the Rock, out of harm’s way, concealing us in His house, and hiding us in the secret place.
The LORD’s thoughts toward you
are for goodwill & peace to give you eternal hope & a significant
future.
The LORD shall deliver & help everyone that trusts Him; He will save them from the wicked.
The LORD
is faithful, righteous, just, and generous; all His ways & works are
perfect.
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Every banking
institution has an easy to use balancing method it will provide when you ask.
If you feel you cannot understand the directions, make an appointment so a bank
/ credit union representative can show you how to use its suggested balancing
method. Alternately, you could sit down with a friend who is used to balancing
his / her accounts so he / she can show you how it’s done.
Always
balance the last month for each account at the beginning of the new month
immediately after you receive your monthly statement from the financial
institution or go on-line to obtain it. This process takes less than an hour
each month and gets much easier as you build and maintain the account balancing
habit.
Carry a check
and/or use debit cards only when you're purchasing products and services planned
in advance and agreed on by husband and wife or an accountability partner,
otherwise wasteful spending will occur. Stay away from unplanned purchases as
much as possible. If you need help developing good financial habits you can
select a trustworthy accountability partner who is a good steward of money the
LORD entrusts to him / her.
You can help
yourself become a good money manager by (a) watching this person’s
example, (b) understanding what he / she does that is founded upon
biblical instruction, (c) following examples in those areas, (d) refusing
to follow any example that is not in line with biblical instruction, (e)
asking your accountability partner a variety of questions over time that will
help you manage better, and (f) asking him / her to help by pointing out
when he / she sees you engaging money management habits that are not fruitful or
are destructive.
Balancing
your bank accounts is necessary to know the true state of your finances so you
can make sure that your monthly expenses do not exceed your monthly income. You
will be unable to accumulate wealth to support proclamation of the gospel,
service to others, and a desired lifestyle when you do not know the state of
your flocks and herds.
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 salvation of the righteous is of the LORD and He is their strength in the time of trouble: transgressors shall be destroyed altogether & the hand of the wicked will be cut off.
Blessed be the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ.
Do not forget to
do good & share with others because the LORD is greatly pleased with such
sacrifice.
The wicked sometimes have great influence, spreading like spider webs, but suddenly they will be called to account & dealt with severely.
Mark the one who
has a heart to do the LORD’s will, for that person shall have perfect peace.
The
LORD will ultimately judge sorcerers, sexual immorality, false witnesses, &
those that oppress hirelings in their wages, widows, orphans, & the needy.
You will be exalted, prosper, & see the wicked cut off as you wait upon the LORD & keep His ways.
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit, by whom you are sealed for the day of redemption; one who loves Jesus Christ will keep His commandments.
Do not grieve
the Holy Spirit, by whom you are sealed for the day of redemption; one who
loves Jesus Christ will keep His commandments.
The wicked try to slay the righteous because they expose evil schemes, but the LORD delivers His people & causes them to triumph.
Strip yourself of pride that thinks the LORD is blessed to have you and your resources growing His kingdom, otherwise you set yourself up for a devastating fall.
The LORD’s law is
in the heart of the upright & their feet will not slip; they speak wisdom &
share His truth about judgment against evil.
A godly person is a good counselor by knowing right from wrong and being just and fair.
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
An asset is a resource that translates to monetary value for purposes of trade with people who may one day desire to buy it from you, whereas a debt is something owed to a person, company, or corporation based on a loan or use of a service or product made available to you. Though not always the case, as with medical services, debt is often the result of borrowing to make large purchases that one could not afford to make with cash and often should not have made until he/she saved enough money to make the purchase.
Using a computer spreadsheet, word document, or piece of paper make an Asset column and underneath describe each individual asset you own (property, stocks, bonds, savings, vehicle, business, etc.) and list its dollar value next to it. Make sure you use values by a reputable source for things like properties, business, and other items for which you do not receive regular statements displaying their value. Otherwise, you risk mis-valuing them and believing you’re in better financial condition than you are actually in. Now, total the value of all assets.
Next, make a Debt column and underneath describe each debt / liability you owe (mortgages, car notes, credit cards, other loans, etc.) and list the full amount owed next to it. Now, total the amount of all debt.
Subtract total debt from total assets. The result is your net worth which could be a positive or negative monetary value. If it is positive, in comparison to income and windfalls you’ve received over the years, then you’re moving in the right direction and want to continue to be a good steward of the manifold blessings entrusted to you. If it is negative or low, you're not in a hopeless situation. When we first learned of the LORD's money management plan in 1992, we had a negative $35,000 net worth and owed $135,000 of total debt to more than ten creditors. Allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us financially based on biblical principles and methods that fit within their boundaries, within a short number of years we became debt-free and began using discretionary income to enter The Wealthy Place designed for believers.
Biblical money management instructions are for people of all ages, backgrounds, income levels, and occupations to help them prosper, take care of their families, and fund ministry at home and around the world. Now is the time to start managing your life and money differently in order to accumulate resources for future rainy days, expenses, and giving. Positive financial net worth helps you in this regard, yet it is not an invitation to hoard far more than you could ever need by refusing to give to help meet needs the bible says are important.
Always know, your true worth is not dependent on how much money you’ve accumulated at any one time, rather it's determined by your relationship to Jesus Christ. Believers are seated with Him in heavenly places. Yet, annually calculating net worth can be an indication of how well you are managing earthly resources entrusted to you and avoiding material things that would keep you in financial bondage.

Depart from evil
& do good, for the LORD loves holiness & never forsakes His people:
they dwell with Him forever whereas the wicked shall be cut off.
The LORD firmly establishes & prospers every believer
who lives, moves, and has his/her being in Him.
I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread; may the LORD increase you more & more, you and your children!
