MoneyWalk 120 Mission Focused Money Management
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
If all God wanted was for you to have everything that appeals to your natural mind no matter the cost (big houses, fine cars, expensive clothes, and fine jewelry), then you'd be on the right road by spending all your net income and using credit to get such things and more of them all the time. However, the bible reveals that we should seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (the life that is according to His standards) and everything we need for life, godliness, and ministry will be given to us. This includes provision for the ministry of cultivating family, friend, church, business, employment, relationships, and finances in a manner that glorifies God.
Christians should not live their lives pursuing material blessing, rather we should pursue Father God and His will for our lives throughout every career, business endeavor, and ministry work we engage. We must know Daddy God will bestow greater blessing upon on us as we seek to do His will and follow directions He gives: in His Word (logos) and by His Spirit speaking in us what He wants us to do (rhema).
No sorrow will be added to the blessing when wealth is provided by God and brought about via intimacy with Jesus Christ. Many people experience lack of peace, joy, and fulfillment even though they amassing riches because they refused to adhere to His lifestyle and financial standards. Many look good on the outside having plenty of stuff their carnal soul-led nature craves, but they’re full of decay and destruction internally and unable to maintain moral behavior that would truly serve them, spouses, children, and other people.
Unbelievers try to obtain the best by avoiding relationship with Jesus Christ and trying to do everything on their own to get such things including constantly taking out more loans to get them and looking at most situations from a “what can I get out of it” perspective. The pressure of this lifestyle brings sorrow, anxiety, and fear. However, that is not the case for those who pursue Jesus Christ because the bible declares the Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. This person always thinks and acts on “what the Father wants me to do” and “how can I use this job, business, career, or resource to bring the glorious light of the gospel into more people’s lives.”
Unfortunately, through misinformation and self-serving interpretations of bible passages many believers use the world system to try and bring blessing upon themselves. They wind up with sorrows instead, at least while on earth. Hopefully, they will soon recognize they should first seek relationship with Christ and the Holy Spirit’s guidance in every area of life including their finances. His scriptures identify a financial plan (principles that help you manage money in a way that is pleasing to Him and truly helpful to others). He wants you to know you’ll be a slave to satan and selfish thinking when you follow any other plan.
He created you to support ministry with a great portion of your money. Your stewardship of money should be mission driven based on the fact that you, like God, don't want anyone to perish but (1) everyone to repent for their sins, (2) accept Christ as Lord, (3) inherit eternal life, and (4) be truly fruitful while on earth. True fruitfulness can only happen when you:
·
Seek the Lord’s will for your life through
daily worship (including thanksgiving, praise, and prayer), bible
reading / study, and regular fellowship with believers connected with a local
bible-believing Church.
·
Work in legitimate endeavors in order to have
seed to sow and bread to eat.
·
Consistently tithe and give offerings.
·
Live on less than your net income (take
home pay).
·
Employ deferred gratification until you’re
able to buy with cash things you desire, thereby trusting God to provide things
you need via your income or the goodwill of other people.
·
Eliminate debt on non-mortgage loans first
and then work on eliminating mortgages. Unless you have extremely high-interest
loans, the Debt Snowball is psychologically the best method to start with
because it provides quick wins early on that keep you motivated to continue the
pattern.
·
Refuse to use loans to obtain assets that
depreciate in value.
·
Refuse to co-sign loans for other people.
·
Establish suitable savings for emergencies
and unusual expenses.
· Invest in assets that show a history of above average appreciation (no-load low-expense stock index mutual funds that provide diversification, etc.)
This pattern
fits The Great Commandment and The Great Commission lifestyle of good
stewardship that scripture instructs us to employ. Living this life of faith
will result in you being blessed and rewarded, so you can appropriately care
for your family and be a blessing to many others.

MoneyWalk 119 You Need Rest!
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
The world's system for prospering can
wear you out and disappoint you, because it is based on mimicking the Jones'
whether or not you have or ever will have their level of income. You’re
constantly pushed by other people and by your own mind to show your status
through the home you live in, the cars and recreational vehicles you drive, the
clothes and jewelry you wear. Satan and his demonic cohorts also push
temptations at your thought life that attempt to increase your desire to
frequently get bigger homes, cars, clothes, jewelry, and other material things
that make it look like you're continually prospering.
In addition, satan continually tempts
you to have the herd mentality like the masses. He seeks to make your life so
busy that it becomes hectic and of little value to those people to whom it
should have the greatest value: your spouse, children, family, friends,
co-workers, and neighbors. In some instances, he and his minions tempt you to
be a respecter of persons who stops fellowshipping with everyone you perceive
as unsuccessful and insignificant; those that don't look or act like they are successful
or that don't have a business, position, or title that represents the upward
mobility he wants you to seek above all else. He wants you to believe success
is possible and best using only extreme human effort and that it does not
require intimate fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Such attitudes and actions cause
peace and joy to evaporate from your life because they are relationship
busters. They are subtly rooted in the mindset that success occurs only when
you spend all your time networking with so-called successful people. While it
is important that you find godly men and women role models who are successful
in business, employment, and ministry, you'll wreck your life and God's purpose
for you when trying to be successful by forsaking relationships with other
people whose income, wealth, and social status in the eyes of men is less than
yours.
Allow Jesus to help you rest by
learning from Him to forsake the world's ways by faithfully attending a local
bible believing church fellowship, giving abundantly to ministry endeavors in
order to honor Him, living beneath your current level of income, planning and
taking action to become debt-free, saving and investing, diversifying your
assets, refusing to let your life be guided by competition with the Joneses,
refusing to be a respecter of persons, and reaching out to men of low estate.
Remember, Jesus entered into
relationship with a group of men (the disciples) who by the world’s
standards were considered uneducated bottom feeders. Yet, He developed
relationship with them over the course of three and a half years and then
utilized them to spread the gospel to the ends of the known world, deliver
millions from satanic bondage, and bring healing to millions who were sick and
afflicted.
The bible helps you understand that
being rich with great social status on earth is not a measure that God uses to
judge a person’s heavenly eternal status. Neither should we. Some people who
have held high earthly positions will not be esteemed when they stand in front
of God on Judgment Day. God desires to prosper every one of His children so we
can have greater resources to build His kingdom on earth. However, the failure
of some people (rich, middle class, and poor) to accept Jesus Christ as
Savior and Lord and their resulting attitudes and actions make them eternally
poor.
All that you are and ever hope to be
must come from your relationship with Him and will include relationships and
associations with people who are less fortunate on earth than you are. You must
do as Jesus did and be around people of various cultures, incomes, and levels
of wealth according to where God plants you. This is necessary in order to win
many people to Jesus Christ.
By the power of the Holy Spirit, you
must develop relationships with unbelievers in marketplace and neighborhood
venues while also refusing to mimic ungodly activities in their lives. You must
remain unspotted by the world because God desires that you teach them His will
and ways. Constantly maturing in Christ-likeness (including utilizing God’s
biblical financial plan) is one of the greatest teaching methods you can
employ in reaching the people groups God has placed you among.
So, enter into the rest that Father
God made possible for you through trusting Christ, taking His path, and
allowing Him to make you successful in a way that please the Father and honors
your spouse, children, and other people. This lifestyle will bring and maintain
peace and joy in your life.

MoneyWalk 118 Bind Satan
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Don’t give the devil opportunity to
use you as a bad example for other people to see. He goes around like a roaring
lion seeking to steal from, kill, or destroy whoever let's him. His ultimate
desire is to devour you and loved ones and have you forever reside in Hell with
him and his demonic buddies.
He gave up a place in Heaven and the
glory bestowed on him for all to see because he desired to take the LORD’s
throne and dominion. Pride and greed corrupted him and led to his great fall.
Unfortunately, one third of the angels followed his example and now they all
know and are afraid of the eternal judgment that awaits them. Their aim under
the leadership of satan is to convince as many people as possible that they
should forsake a relationship with Jesus Christ and should pay no attention to
his moral laws. They figure they are going to Hell to suffer forever at God’s
appointed time, so why not take as many humans as possible with them.
Satan has deceived many rich people
to believe they are the cream of the crop who are imminently right with God and
who have earned every material blessing they have received in this life. Some
people surmise that they otherwise could not have amassed great wealth. Thus,
leading rich people with such mindsets to oppress and/or despise the poor and
middle class in order to obtain more power and greater material wealth.
Likewise, Satan also deceives the
poor and middle class causing them to despise those who are rich, wanting them
to believe great amounts of wealth are inherently evil and thus one must have
been a crook in order to amass wealth. Some people surmise that having a poverty
mentality and lifestyle on earth makes one right with God and gives them the
right to dislike those who have wealth.
Sometimes it seems that neither the
rich nor poor understand that Satan wants to destroy all humans and has thus
deceived many with half-truths and outright lies. Remember, satan and the
demons appear as though they are angels of light. Unfortunately, those who
don’t know the voice of the LORD and His way of doing things as described in
the bible put themselves in a position to be deceived by satan’s tactics and
thus to believe his lies.
But you have a way out and the bible
calls it bringing yourself into obedience so that all disobedience against you,
caused by man and satanic beings, will be revenged. If you'll commit your heart
to Jesus Christ as Savior and LORD and commit to using His principles to govern
your life, then He'll give you new life that lasts eternally and he'll show you
more and more of His ways as you walk on His straight and narrow path that
leads to abundance and fulfillment of purpose. Don't worry; He knew you
couldn't do this on your own so He committed the Holy Spirit to live inside and
guide you into this Heavenly promise.
The Lord loves and cares for you,
that's why He shed His blood for you on the cross and gave you power over all
the power of the enemy. He doesn't want the great opportunities He prepared for
you on earth or in Heaven to be destroyed by satan and his demonic cohorts. So,
He made a way, in Christ, for you to be and achieve all He intended for you. Now,
it’s time to do your part by repenting of sin and accepting Him as Savior and
LORD. This will lead you to live by His principles and will naturally and
eternally bless you in every arena of life.

MoneyWalk 117 Principles For Abundance
This program will help you undo financial bondage.
You should use biblical principles to
bring forth abundance in your life, regardless of how successful you think
you’ve been thus far. With Almighty God on your side, you move further into the
plan He created you for and avoid having your life and true purpose derailed.
Most people are disappointed with results they’ve achieved so far, even though
a few have amassed great riches, all because no one can truly be fulfilled on
any path other than the one He planned for them. When you’re not on His path,
you can act like you’re fulfilled and probably fool some men, but you cannot
fool God. He set the foundation of the world and the operation of all things
herein, while satan attempts to distort these things by tempting man with sin trying
to get us to believe his distorted view and turning away from God’s plan is the
best pathway. Attacking you financially is vital to his attempts to derail your
purpose, because money and resources touch every area of your life. Only the
LORD God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent: satan is not. The life and
prosperity meant for you can only be perverted when you follow the enemy’s
plan. Biblical principles are always effective, the benefits thereof can only
be suspended until you realize the truth and begin using them.
Don’t fall for the perversion of
greed, debt, and insatiable material desires regardless of your income and
assets. Let relationship with Christ break these bondages in your life giving
you peace, joy, and fulfillment. Commit to the following principles for life
and you'll see real change. First, draft a giving-saving-spending plan (budget)
that details your monthly income versus your monthly expenses and that includes
giving the tithe and offering to your local church for gospel evangelism and
disciple-making. Second, save an appropriate emergency fund, so you won’t have
to go back in debt when things happen. Third, reduce expenses, delay purchases
until you save enough to pay with cash, and find no-cost low-cost streams of
income to increase cash flow for fast debt elimination. Fourth, after all
non-mortgage debts are eliminated, invest your cash flow in no-load low-expense
S&P 500 or total stock market mutual funds and diversify into other
appropriate assets over time. These will provide great monetary growth for
long-term investors that can be used to meet future household expenses, support
ministry works at home and abroad, and fulfill godly desires.
These principles have enormous
benefits, even for seniors, because they help you live below current income,
maintain proper priorities, and put extra cash flow toward building God’s
kingdom in the hearts of men. This lifestyle of
utilizing God’s principles presents your body as a living sacrifice that is
holy and acceptable to Him.
