This program will help you undo financial
bondage.
Questions that help the meditation phase of your decision-making process are:
·
Will
the purchase, or time using the purchased item, lead me to reduce my personal
time with the Holy Spirit, my spouse, my children, and/or my Church family?
·
Will
it cause me to reduce my tithes & offerings or go into debt in order to
obtain or maintain it?
·
Will
maintaining the purchase reduce the amount I currently put toward monthly
giving, savings, and investments?
·
Will
the monthly payment due possibly lead to my monthly expenses exceeding my
monthly income, now or in the future?
“NO” answers to the above questions bring
financial and spiritual peace to your life. Ask someone, who is leading a
debt-free life or seriously pursuing this lifestyle, to help you measure your
current and future monthly budgets with consideration of the proposed purchase
in order to ensure you do not or will not go into negative (deficit or debt)
territory with regard to disposable income and assets.
If you don’t exercise self-control over
the carnal nature, advertisements, sales calls, and other irrational impulses,
the Joneses will stir you up to buy many things you don’t need and some that
don’t fit within your current financial situation. A person that doesn’t use
self-control in the financial arena is like a city without protection. The
barrage of attacks by the enemy will soon conquer that city (you) due to
lack of good stewardship.
Constantly purchasing unnecessary desires
and replacing major items (homes, cars, etc.) when you don’t have income
and assets to do so will eat up money faster than anything else and will lead
you to continually stay in debt to lenders and retailers. It’s not God’s desire
that you be or remain in bondage to lenders or other people.
Don’t accept into your life the changing
desires of society, which constantly cries for more and more earthly pleasures
and obtains them in disobedient, irresponsible, and undisciplined ways. In
every situation, be diligent to measure whether such pleasures and what it
takes to obtain and maintain them are Christ-like, in compliance with biblical
instruction, and thus healthy for you, your family, and God’s stated will that
you, as a believer, abundantly support The Great Commission and be an example
of good stewardship to everyone around you.
Psalms
37:4-5, Proverbs 30:7-9, Matthew 6:19-23, Colossians 3:1-17

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!
