Lifestyle and Financial Principles
No one can claim to be so different that he or she does not need to worship, praise, pray, study scripture, fellowship with a local Church of believers, and serve others (minister) in ways that honor the LORD. Though we are unique in many ways and each person may have a different type of work to which they are called, biblical instruction applies equally to every person in the same manner. Those who want blessing reward from Almighty God will be transformed by the renewing of their minds and thus conformed to His image (living life and carrying out our work according to His instructions). The following weapons of spiritual warfare are needed for the financial realm of our lives to build the character and habits in us that our LORD desires to help us carry out His purpose: The Great Commandment The Great Commission placed on our individual lives and the Church.
Eleven Biblical Principles for Financial Freedom Wealth Building
1) God owns everything – you are His steward (estate / money manager):
1Chronicles 29:11, Psalm 50:10-12, 1Corinthians 10:26, Revelation 4:11
2) Work to be fruitful and produce income:
Genesis 2:15, Ephesians 4:27-28, 2 Thessalonians 3:6-11
3) Show contentment:
Luke 3:14, Philippians 4:11, 1Timothy 6:8
4) Sacrifice to initiate God’s plan for your ministry blessing:
Romans 12:1, Philippians 4:18, Hebrews 11:4
5) Show self-control:
Proverbs 25:28, 1Corinthians 7:5, 9:25, Galatians 5:22-23
6) Tithe and give offerings from increase:
Genesis 14:20, Malachi 3:8-12, Matthew 23:23, Hebrews 7:8
7) Budget- tell your income what to do:
Proverbs 27:23-27, Habakkuk 2:2-4, Luke 14:28-30
8) Eliminate all debt:
Deuteronomy 28:12, 15, 44, Proverbs 22:6-7, Romans 13:8
9) Do not cosign for anyone:
Proverbs 6:1-2, Proverbs 11:15, Proverbs 17:18
10) Save Invest:
Proverbs 13:23, Proverbs 21:20, Matthew 25:14-30, Luke 19:12-27
11) Diversify savings investments:
Proverbs 15:22, Ecclesiastes 11:2, Matthew 25:14, Luke 19:12
Seven Focused Steps to Financial Freedom
(methods based on the principles noted above)
1) Budget: Tell your money what to do – plan at least 3 months into the future.
a. Subtract all your current spending each month or pay period from your net income to show you where you are currently and help you decide what needs to change to be able to become debt free and build wealth
b. If your situation is too messed up right now to achieve financial freedom you may need to cut retirement and non-essential pay roll deductions and other expenses and find other income producing options
2) Build a $1,000 first tier emergency fund
a. You may be able to do this and the rest of the steps while also contributing to tax deferred plan to get employer match if you can do so and pay off all debt within the next 2 years
3) Pay off all non-mortgage debt as quickly as possible
4) Invest at least 10% of your gross income each pay period including funding tax deferred retirement vehicles up to the employer matching percentage, if you are not already doing so
5) Build your emergency fund to $10,000
6) Pay off all your mortgage debt
a. Income producing properties could be paid off in step number three if they do not have very large mortgages
b. Alternately, you may need to consider selling them earlier in the process in order to use the equity / profits to more quickly become debt free
7) Use the tremendous surplus income (cash flow) you now have each month in order to give more abundantly and build great wealth

MoneyWalk 111 Rich People’s Responsibility
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Most people’s desires ramp up and
their hearts start racing when they read articles or hear stories about people
who made millions. They hope to receive a huge inheritance or get a prosperity
plan from a rich person so they can eventually be one of whom the story is told.
Some want riches to spend upon their own lusts believing the greatest human priority
is to live in ease with the finest material trappings. They believe people
should purchase all the luxury items they desire and then the necessities of
life will take care of themselves. Others simply don't know God’s purpose for man
and for their life in particular. Many simply do not know who and what they
should love and pursue.
The Bible tells us not to love money
or have our eyes set on the pleasures of this earth as the highest priority.
Yet, it lets us know through many stories and instructions that money,
bartering, and resources are necessary mediums of exchange that everyone will
deal with and that faithful followers should make efforts to increase our
resources for furtherance of the gospel in the earth. In fact, the bible
clearly shows that, even in the midst of persecution, God blessed many
believers with great material riches and they were able to live in a greater level
of physical and financial comfort while partnering with Him to minister in the
earth by giving great sums of money and resources toward the proclamation of
the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Though most people want the luxurious
earthly lifestyle that could be purchased with riches, many don’t want the
responsibility of doing what God requires and don’t want to hear about good
stewardship because they might be convicted by not obeying biblical instruction.
Yet, in order for your riches to have meaning and benefit beyond this temporal
life on earth, you must do the things that make your life fruitful regardless
of whether riches have yet come your way. Walking in such principles while you
have little allows Heaven’s windows to be opened to you so God’s treasures can
be poured upon you. Then, after you become wealthy, you will continue to walk in
intimacy with Him and according to biblical financial principles. Heaven’s windows
will be continually open with treasures poured upon you, so you always have an
abundance for every good work.
Biblically speaking, each rich person
is supposed to reverence and honor God, giving abundantly to spread the gospel
and doing good works in proportion to the riches entrusted to him or her. So,
if you truly dream of being rich understand your responsibilities in Christ and
begin to perform them now without excuse because it is NOT likely you would perform
them if you come into riches without having done them. Begin your
wealth-building plan by consistently giving one tenth of your gross income plus
an offering to your local church and continue throughout your life by giving as
abundantly to ministry as you desire to lavish upon yourself.
No matter what your current status in
life, true fulfillment comes only from relationship with God and the best
financial growth comes only by employing His system of managing money and
resources. Remember only what you do for Christ will produce rewards that last
throughout eternity!
Luke 12:15-21, 2Corinthians 9:6-13, 1Timothy 6:17-19, James 5:1-11

MoneyWalk 110 Attacks Won’t Stop You
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Managing
money by employing biblical principles makes you a better person by enabling
you to undo financial bondage and build wealth to bless your family, church,
and other people while leading them to the LORD Jesus. Know this, you will
suffer persecution when you commit to following Him, no less managing money the
way He commanded. Many people will think and some will say your beliefs and
actions are silly and illogical because they think they won't let you enjoy
life. Many will say taking out loans to obtain things when you cannot afford to
pay cash for them is the only reasonable way to live, especially when the loan
would be obtained for education, real estate, or cars. Still others will say
refusing to purchase stock in companies with sinful products and services will
seriously hamper your ability to accumulate enough money to live on comfortably
in the future when you need it the most.
When this type of attack is level
against you because you decide to follow godly principles for managing money,
you must remember His glory is what you seek, His ways are higher than your
ways, and always lead to the blessings and rewards, without sorrow, He has in
store. Patiently plowing and sowing seeds according to biblical principles
causes peace and joy to fill your life, even in the midst of attacks others
make against you. More importantly, you store treasures in Heaven for your
arrival there after you leave Earth. In Christ, you will not have to endure
great eternal sorrow like those who follow the path of disobedience the world
is on.
Many people will wonder how you became wealthy while letting Christ live in you, especially since you refused to follow conventional worldly wisdom about fulfillment, wealth building, and success. Your life will become an example for all to follow in placing His priorities and ways of doing things above their own. Through your actions, many will see it’s not about money; rather it’s about glorifying God with the money and resources He entrusts to them. They will desire a loving and saving relationship with Jesus Christ and will lead others to Him because that is what they see in your life and the methods by which you manage money.
Matthew 10:29-40, 1Corinthians 4:10-16, 1Thessalonians 2:14-20, 2Timothy 3:10-17

MoneyWalk 109 Prosperous In Persecution
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
We all suffer various forms of
persecution as we walk the way the LORD wants us to, financially and otherwise.
In some Middle Eastern, African, Asian, and other countries people suffer
imprisonment, torture, and death as a result of choosing to follow Jesus. Some
are forced into indoctrination camps of other religions, communism, or atheism
so leaders of those countries can attempt to brainwash gospel truth out of
their minds. Laws in some of these nations consider Christianity criminal and
some governments attempt to establish non-scriptural doctrine within Christian
churches by requiring that they register and hold meetings when, where, and how
the government desires.
Nations expose themselves to danger
and destruction when they draft laws and judges issue court decisions restricting
peoples’ ability to teach what the bible says, evangelize the lost, and build
people up in Christ-likeness. This is contrary to God’s will and erodes the
country’s moral base and ultimately results in societal chaos and anarchy,
unless corrected. I pray the Holy Spirit moves the heart of leaders around the
world to eliminate laws attempting to restrict freedom to live Christ-like and
thus be productive and prosperous.
While realizing there are negative
situations Christians must live through and minister to, we must also remember
the positive result of Christ leading our lives: we are prosperous in
persecution! Just like diamonds are made from many years of extreme pressure
and dross on gold and silver is eliminated via seemingly unbearable fire, so
God allows us to be pressed, crushed, ridiculed, and persecuted in order that
we may display His character through it and be fashioned into blessed vessels
useful to His kingdom and to those around us.
Christian soldier, let the peace of
God that surpasses all understanding guide your heart and mind, so even though
you will suffer persecution, you are certain He will abundantly supply all your
need, so you can do every good work for which He created you.

MoneyWalk 108 Produce Good Fruit
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
You manage
money properly when you give, save, and spend reasonable portions of it to take
care of all present and future responsibilities God gives you. Such stewardship
is a display of the gospel seed planted in your life that produces good fruit (godly
character and works that magnify the LORD) that in turn produce more good
seed to lead, serve, and bless other people via the good works He created you
to do in Christ.
Satan and his
demonic cohorts will continue to attack you with the lust of the flesh, the
lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Never let your stewardship be guided
by greed, covetousness, waste and other wicked objectives taught by satan and
pursued by the world. God punishes the proud and uplifts the humble. It is best
to let Him punish satan and destroy his former works in you, otherwise you put
yourself in a position where His justice must punish you along with satan and demons.
Anytime you
operate outside of God's plan for your life and do things opposite the way in
which He directed, you're operating out of pride because you're saying you know
better than God does how to be successful and fulfilled in life. Also, you're
fulfilling lusts because you're putting receipt of material things and
short-lived pleasures ahead of your relationship with God. You're not seeking
the Kingdom of God first and His righteousness trusting that He will provide
you all other things necessary for life and godliness while you walk out this
life.
Walking in
the spirit is very important in managing your money properly because when you
walk in the Spirit you will not fulfill ungodly lusts. You’ll spend money on
products or services with an eye on God receiving glory. The fruit of the
Spirit that guides your lifestyle will also guide how you steward possessions entrusted
to you. Then, you’ll truly be a living example of Christ-likeness who helps
those around you who need the eternal, loving, saving, protecting relationship that
can only be found in Jesus Christ. Along with that you will show them via His word
and your life the blessing and reward of tithing, abundant giving, planning so monthly
expenses do not exceed income, saving emergency reserve funds, debt-free living,
refusing to cosign, investing for the future, and diversifying assets.
