This program will help you undo financial bondage.
God will give you a vision of what He
wants you to do. If you don’t know it, ask Him to reveal it and He will. Often
it will be picture in your mind’s eye or a feeling in your spirit of something He
wants you to do or a path to take. It could be pursuing something you already
enjoy doing (music, art, sports, youth ministry, speaking, etc.) or it could
be something you don’t want to do but need to do in a way that will give Him
glory and bless and reward you through the process. He does not often identify
each and every step it takes to get there, but will give you important
promptings and opportunities that will, when obeyed, lead to where He wants you
to go and what He wants you to do.
Once you begin to see the vision, no
matter how complete or incomplete, write down where you see the vision taking
you in 5 years, 3 years, and 1 year. Then, develop a process or system you’ll
use to bring it to pass. Keep the vision alive in your heart and mind no matter
what setbacks, catastrophes, or obstacles present themselves over the years of
pursuing it. These things will come, many times from satan, however the LORD
will direct you in such a way that they’ll be used to strengthen you and give
you victory through all the things you endure.
As a Christian, expect that your
vision and goals are greater than what you alone can accomplish. First, you
need almighty God, for whom all things are possible, to make a way and provide
opportunities. Secondly, you need other people to help along the way. Thirdly,
remember that during the course of your journey, you may need to engage work
that seems disconnected and sometimes work without pay. Some work will not seem
to be along the path to your vision and you’ll wonder why you have to do it. You
need to be careful of letting others entice you into doing things outside of
God’s will for your life, such as engaging in an unholy processor or practice
to achieve success.
Yet, you must be mindful that most
CEO’s, business owners, pastors, and other leaders originally worked in the
rank and file, on the assembly line, or in the lower bowels of a business /
ministry long before they were selected or grabbed the horns of leadership,
position, or prominence. In the early days, many did not know that these jobs
would lead to having a much greater position, authority, and ability to serve
other people in the business / ministry for which God equipped them. They
simply remained faithful to the organizations through which they served by
faithfully completing assignments they were given and helping the organizations
better serve their clientele.
Finally, the road to pursuing your
vision will be less rocky when you keep an eye on your budget several months in
advance, so it can quickly let you know how much disposable income you'll have
available to spend in pursuit of your goals and how much you need from other
people. Budgeting will help you control your urge to spend money you don't have
on things you don't need and will help you trust that God will provide through
other people what you are not able to obtain without going in debt. When you
allow your budget to help you stay out of debt as God has directed in the
bible, you will see your bill entries eliminated and your disposable income
grow and other people miraculously come to your aid to help fund portions of
the vision you cannot fund.
As you go about fulfilling your
God-given vision, count the cost before making purchases, so unnecessary purchases
don't negatively affect your plans. Employing such wisdom moves God's hand and
people’s hearts to help you achieve the vision. Over time, you’ll see your
goals achieved and God’s heart pleased as you continue the work He gave you and
this will increase the resources you need to properly care for your family and
help many other people.
Proverbs 3:5-6, 6:6-11, 16:9, 29:18,
Luke 14:28-32, James 4:1-3

The book at the link below provides principles and
practical steps that help you use the Power To Get Wealth. By
1992, we had $135,000 of debt and a negative $35,000 net worth. Financial
bondage and turmoil led me to seek principles and a process for employing good
stewardship. As a result, we became constructively debt-free in 1998, mortgage
free January 2004, millionaires in 2012, multi-millionaires shortly thereafter,
and retired in 2018 in my mid-fifties from public servant jobs while giving
abundantly to fund the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ. The same power is
available to you!
