MoneyWalk 205 How To Handle Disagreements

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

You will at times have money disagreements that produce friction in your relationships. Your spouse may have a spendthrift behavior and disagree with you on the need to save a reasonable portion of your income. Your parents may get into trouble and be facing foreclosure and pressure you to give them money to try and catch up the mortgage. A loved one may spew ridicule because you refuse to pledge money to their pet project. Or, someone may be hiding from you at the time they are supposed to be paying back money you loaned them.

If these family members or friends had in the past made decisions based on biblical money management principles, they would have avoided the problems they’ve run into, would have more than enough to meet their needs, and would be comfortable with the results of their actions, regardless of the results. Don’t get me wrong, you will at times experience differences in expected results, even when you engage financial transactions with other Christians. And, there certainly may be times that you need to discuss less than desirable results and share how you believe the other party should have handled the investment you’ve made or help you’ve given.

The Lord gives peace that passes all understanding, which produces patience and joy in you through every situation. This allows you to love and forgive those that mistreat and cheat you or who don’t perform up to expectations. Yet, there are times when the Holy Spirit may lead you to stop giving to or engaging money transactions with offenders that will not correct their behavior. Or, He may instruct you to stop fellowshipping with them altogether until they show positive change in their behavior. His love calls us to account and may isolate offenders until they see the error of their ways and begin to act in ways that are best for themselves and other people around them.

Always pray that the Holy Spirit correct the situation in the way He chooses and conduct yourself with the utmost integrity, and refuse verbal spats and physical confrontation! Be an example of Christ-likeness no matter what others act like and simply know the truth and it will make you free!!! This posture is highly likely to be an example that the offenders will ultimately follow, even if it takes years for them to finally understand His way for them to operate in integrity and faithfulness.

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!
