If you are new to this mindset or way of thinking, or maybe you just want some more info, this is where to start.

Take your time and really read these lessons and strategies.

IF you dive in, it will change your life – guaranteed.

Now to answer this question: “Does God want me wealthy?” we must go straight to the Word. It makes it pretty clear.

From Genesis to Revelation you can and abundance of scriptures, stories and lessons throughout that prove God’s will for us is to be blessed, happy, prosperous and full of peace.

Just a few quick ones to start with: (plenty more to come in this series)

3 John 2: “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”

2 Corinthians 8:9 ” For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”

Deuteronomy 8:18 “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

” So why then, for hundreds of years have people believed that it is holy, or spiritual, to be poor? Have you ever heard that? Well, there are a couple of reasons;

1.There are a few scriptures that have been taken out of context that the devil has twisted to try to get us to believe God wants us poor (or have just enough for ourselves) Because if we are poor and broke, then we cannot help others in need, that keeps them poor and broke as well. We cannot build/feed/help others when we can’t take care of our own households….This is how satan wants us, NOT God. One of these main scriptures taken out of context is

1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” -Notice it says the “love of money” is the root of evil. NOT money itself. Loving money (or preferring money) can cause you to error in your faith, and pierce you with sorrows. Pretty simple, don’t LOVE money. You can like it, that’s okay. See money as a tool to get work done for Jesus.

2. Being poor is easier. It’s a cop out, it’s an excuse. Most people miss out on the good life, God’s plan for them, because they ride the excuse of “Oh I’d love to give and help more, but we just can’t afford to.” Or, “I feel like God wants me to go to China and preach the gospel, but I just don’t have the money.”

See, every day people are not doing the big things God has called them to do because their minds are set on the fact that they are broke or that they are not lucky enough to be wealthy.

This type of thinking is the easy way out; it keeps you in a place where you are comfortable, or “good enough” but it keeps you from growing, and it keeps you from God’s best, from ALL that He has for you.

IF you’ve ever thought like this (we all have at one point) thats okay. What matters now is that we man up and take responsibility in the area of finances.

In the next email, I will show you WHY MONEY MATTERS and what you can do to start increasing in the area of finances.

Stay strong, you got this.

Lesson 2: WHY Money Matters to God

 

Look. Here’s the deal. Money is important.

It’s not as important as breathing, but man it’s close!

(Disclaimer: I’m a straight-shooter, don’t get offended, just think of me as your locker room coach)

Before I go on to today’s lesson: Let me take a quick second and address the people who are thinking they are soooo spiritual and holy that they don’t have to even consider money or prosperity. Spoken in a “poor me” voice: “I’m just here to be a humble and broken servant of the Lord, I’ll be happy with whatever comes my way.” “Money doesn’t cross my mind, money is a thing of the earth, I am a spiritual being…” Things like this.

SO if money is so unimportant, then why did God put over 200 scriptures about it in His book?

Why did Jesus talk about it so much? And if it’s so unimportant, try building a church without money, or going on a mission trip, our printing Bibles, or feeding the homeless, or helping the orphans and the widows, you see MONEY MATTERS.

It’s not the only thing, but it’s a big thing.

We don’t worry about money, we control money. Money is a tool.

Jesus died to break the curse. (See Galatians 3:13) The curse of poverty, sickness and death.

So if we accept poverty we are saying, “Jesus, I reject what you did for me on the cross.”

Same thing with sickness, same with the fear of death.

I will illustrate it this way: We have a mission while on earth to make Jesus famous. But can we do any good if we are sick, stuck in bed? When a friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer, what did he do? Did he just lay down and accept it? Did he just say, “Well this must be God’s will for me, to be in pain, with my body dying, this must be God’s will for my life, I am just a humble servant of the Lord.”

NO!

He went to the scriptures and proclaimed God’s Word and Promises for Healing over his situation and commanded the devil out of his body!

He spoke it over and over and over again, each and every day for months! He listened to healing podcasts, he made recordings of God’s Promise to heal and listened to it night and day, and guess what?

The cancer is now gone.

It left his body because it HAD to.

It’s a curse that no longer has effect on us. WE HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME ATTITUDE TOWARD POVERTY!

Don’t accept poverty, crush it. Jesus died to break the CURSE of poverty. If it’s okay to take the energy and the focus to pray against sickness, then why would we not to do the same thing against poverty?!

Robert-with-Kids-in-Kenya

You want to make Jesus famous?

Here is what you do: Live in a mansion, invite people over to your house and cook them dinner, let them swim in your pool, have them watch movies in your personal theater, pick them up in your brand new Range Rover… Why? Because it’s attractive.

Living for God is attractive.

And without fail they will ask you, “Wow this place is awesome, what do you do?” And your reply is, “I live for Jesus.” It opens the door for you to preach the Gospel to them.

And that is exactly what it’s all about.

You see when we are poor, or sick, or just a bummer to be around, this isn’t attractive to non-believers. Nobody wants to be a part of that! (Hey, I told you I was straight-shooter!) You’re not going to win people to Jesus by being a hippy.

The Bible says, “Man looks on the outside, but God looks at the heart.” So people are looking on your outside, that’s who we are trying to win over to Jesus, so LET GOD make your outside attractive. Then win them to Jesus.

I hope it is extremely obvious that God wants you to be wealthy. He wants you to have and abundance; He wants you to have all you need AND MORE so that He can use you to bless and to help people.

So now that you have the basics down, in the next lesson I’m going to show you the 3 steps you to take TODAY to start your new life of prosperity!

Stay strong, you got this.

Lesson 3: How Do I Get Started on the Path to Increase?

 

Okay, God wants me wealthy. I got it.

Now what?

How do I get started?

It’s easier than you think. But it takes discipline.

You will have to reset your mind, re-program it if you will, to see money the way God sees money.

You’ll have to change the way you talk, as well as your expectations.

I promise you, you can do it. And it will be worth it.

Here we go:

1. CHOOSE PROSPERITY! In Deuteronomy 30:19 God said, “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!”

God literally gives you the choice! You pick blessing or cursing by the words you speak.

It doesn’t get easier than that, hmmm blessing or cursing…I pick blessing.

2. CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT MONEY. Think about money the way God thinks about money.

So from now on, money is not money, MONEY IS A SEED. It is a seed that when sown into good soil grows and produces more, just like a tree, just like corn, just like wheat.

Money is not your source, God is your SOURCE, money is a seed.

Money has no value until it is sown or until it is used. When money just sits there, it’s just green pieces of paper.

The next one is the most important of all, without it, NOTHING will change for you:

3. CHANGE YOUR WORDS! Write this down: WORDS BRING WEALTH.

In Mark 11:24 Jesus teaches us that we will “Have what we say.” (what you believe, determines what you speak, what you speak determines your actions and expectations, and that determines what you will have in life)

Have you ever heard people talk like this:  “Man, I think I’m coming down with something…yep I definitely feel a cold coming on…ya I get sick every year about this time….everyone in my house is sick right now, so it’s just a matter of time until it’s my turn…”

Well what happens every single time?! THEY GET SICK!

Well of course they do, they spoke it, until they believed it, then they had it.

Well the same thing happens when talking about money.

From now on, you are NOT ALLOWED to say the following: I can’t afford it. I’m broke. Rich people are just selfish.

We do not speak like that anymore because WE WILL HAVE WHAT WE SAY!

Have you ever noticed people who say they are broke all the time, ARE BROKE ALL THE TIME!

That’s not a coincidence. It is spiritual law working.

So from now on, here is what we DO say: “God I thank You that I am blessed to be a blessing to others. Thank You Jesus for the abundant life you’ve given me. That is not in my budget right now, but God is my supplier. I’ll get with Him on it and see what He directs me to do.”

It truly matters what you speak. You get this part down and your life will change in ALL areas.

It will take some practice, but get with God on this subject and He will help you.

Don’t miss our next lesson that reveals the secret to never worrying about money again.

Lesson 4: The Three Steps to Stop Worrying About Money

 

How to Never Worry About Money Again.

Financial-Freedom-D

First let’s ask the question, why do people worry about money?

Money is funny. Money is just pieces of paper.

Really that’s it. If money just sits here, it has no value, no worth, no more than a piece of notebook paper.

There’s no gold or silver attached to it, it literally is just a piece of paper.

Why then does it seem the world revolves around it?

We spend our lives trading our time and energy for it. (notice the phrase spend our lives) we work our butts off for it, we miss important life events for it, many times our Moms or Dads missed an event of ours because they were off trying to earn little, green pieces of paper.

We want it so bad, we want to be rich, we want the Escalades, we want the mansions…people shoot people over it, they risk their lives stealing it, it causes divorces, it tears apart families, it causes addictions, it causes wars, it keeps people worrying, staying up late, it consumes peoples thoughts and overtakes them, they do horrible things to themselves and others JUST FOR LITTLE GREEN PIECES OF PAPER, WHY?!

Because there is a spirit attached to money.

In Luke, the Bible refers to that spirit as mammon. Mammon is a spirit that grips people and causes them to do things they know they shouldn’t, just to get more of these pieces of paper.

They believe there is a certain power that is attached to these pieces of paper. If you don’t keep your guard up, tithe, and give, then this spirit of mammon will try to get a hold of you too. (Tithing is the mammon breaker!)

So here is the catch, money is important, in fact it is extremely important! We need money. It is something we have to have and use. It takes money to eat, to wear clothes, to put on Church, to preach the word, In fact, as we well know, God wants us to have money, because when money is used His way, it brings blessing to everyone around.

See money itself is neither good nor bad, it has no worth until we put it to use. So it is up to us and HOW we use it that makes money good or bad.

So now that you know the truth about money, I will teach you how to never worry about it again.

I want you to write this down so that you don’t FORGET IT!

How to Never worry about money again: (There are 3 things you must do, and you must do all 3 to get results)

1. Tithe. Give 10% of your gross income to the local Church where you are fed spiritually. This gives God permission to work in your finances. He can now go in and do His thing.

If you do not commit to tithing, you will be trying to increase under your own power. When you tithe, God takes over and it now becomes His job to bring the increase.

2. Give. The ONLY way to break the spirit on money, is to be a giver. This proves to the devil that money has no grip on you, it has no power over you, money does not control your actions, you control money.

3. CHANGE YOUR WORDS! You are not allowed to say: “I can’t afford it. I’m broke, or I’ll never have that kind of money.” “Oh that’s for rich people…” Stop talking like that, it blocks God’s blessing.

It reveals that you do not truly believe God wants you wealthy.

financial-freedom11

You must get all three of these things down.

Write them down and make them a habit. They are a habit to me, I tithe without thinking about it, I look for opportunities to give, bless and help others – because it’s exciting to me, and I do not speak negative words about money or my circumstances ever!

Only speak positively. These things will get you on the road to financial increase, they may not be easy at first, but just like anything, you will get in the habit of doing them and God will Bless you for it.

Pretty soon you will wonder how you lived any other way!

Make sure you read our next lesson where I show you exactly what to do to put this Faith for Finances principle into action which will lead to tangible results.

Stay strong, you got this.

 Lesson 5: Using God's Word to Get Your Bills Paid

 

How to Apply God’s Promises in REAL LIFE:

So let’s talk about HOW we would use this in real life.

Because it all sounds good, but it is worthless unless we apply it.

Example: Let’s say you need $275 to pay your car payment. You have no money left from your last paycheck, your parents aren’t going to bail you out this time, but it’s important for you to pay it, and pay it on time.

You made a commitment and gave your word that you’d pay your bills on time, and you know this honors God too. What do you do and say? I’ll show you: This is our main scripture for today, there are several other strong scriptures regarding worry, but right now we will focus on this one:

Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

So here is HOW we would apply that to our situation:

1. Speak this: God, your word says to not worry about anything, instead pray about everything. So I am not going to worry about the $275 I need to pay my bill. Instead, I am going to pray.

2. God I am asking You for the $275 I need, I know you want me to be honorable with my payments, and it will be a blessing to both You and to me to get this car paid off.

3. I thank You God for always taking care of me in the past, I thank You for the good life You have given me, and I love living for You, I refuse to worry and trust that You will handle this.

4. I thank You for Your supernatural Peace now, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Now, once you’ve said that, you hold to it. Whether it FEELS like it is working or not, doesn’t matter.

Every time a thought of doubt rises up, you say that exact same thing again out loud and remind God what He promised you.

Then God’s peace will fall over your life. A peace so strong that it doesn’t matter what is going on around you, no matter how crazy your situation, you will still feel peaceful instead of stressed or worried.

God’s Word works every single time. You may have to say it 100 times in a day, whatever it takes, just do it. I have used this in crazy situations and it always works, God always comes through-AND you can have peace in your spirit throughout the whole situation.

Don’t worry! Instead pray, pray that prayer we just went over. God will never let you down.

Maintenance-Tips

*Now here is what I want you to get, I wished I would have learned this a few years ago:

When I learned to pray like this and activate God’s word, what I would do is look for a check or a blessing for that certain amount I was believing for. I would think that someone is going to come and give me $275 because that is what I was asking for.

Like if it happened to be around my birthday I was absolutely sure my Grandma was going to give me $275 for my present, stuff like that. While that can happen… Here is what USUALLY what happens, here is what you need to look for so you don’t miss God’s blessing;

God gives it to us, but almost always it is piece by piece, little by little, and usually through opportunity.

You go to your neighbor’s house and ask if you can mow their lawn, she gives you $40 to do it. Then your boss asks if you want some overtime giving you an extra $125, then a neighbor sees your old workout bench you don’t use anymore and you sell it to him for $110. Next thing you know, it’s like, Hey I have the $275 – God came through!

Where do you think those opportunities came from?

God set those into motion the very second you prayed Philippians 4:6.

I will close with this, there has been a countless number of times in my life that, I had to completely trust God for money.

If you haven’t read it yet, check out my story HERE of how God turned my financial deficit (-$800 in my account!) into a business that brought in over $500 a month.

In the next email we will talk about having a life of “More Than Enough.” You don’t want to miss it.

Trust me. Stay strong, you got this. –

 Lesson 6: Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck

 

You are on your way to financial prosperity!

Earlier in your email lessons you learned: God truly does want you to be wealthy and why.

You learned by applying Philippians 4:6-7 and Philippians 4:19 You will never have to worry about money again.

Today I am going to teach you HOW to have more money than you need. (No more paycheck to paycheck! Ugh!)

I have had conversations with several Christians over the years and found that when you talk about wealth and prosperity they get really weird.

They have this attitude of, “Oh don’t give me more money, I just pray for what I need, and that’s it, what would I need more money for?”

One guy even told me, “The worst thing you can do is give someone extra money because you never know what they’re going to do with it, and it may cause them to sin.”

They think they are all spiritual and so humble and holy, when the truth is, that’s the opposite of spiritual, because as we have learned, God wants us wealthy so we can bless others and take care of the orphans and the widows, and be a blessing to all the families in the earth!

You can’t do that when you have “just enough.”

Let’s go to one of my favorite scriptures: 2 Corinthians 9:8 (in the AMP) I pray this out loud every single day to stir my faith up and set my expectations to receive this promise: “God is able to make all grace, every favor, and earthly blessing, come to you in abundance, so that you may always, and under all circumstances, no matter the issue, have all you need and more, so that you can give to every good opportunity and charitable donation.”

So let’s break this down real quick, God said: (and I hold him to His promise) that He will make all grace, (which is His power and ability) Every favor, and Earthly Blessing (money, clothes, cars, homes, jobs, promotions, raises etc) Come to me IN ABUNDANCE (which means more than I need) so that no matter what is going on around me, no matter the circumstance, no matter how many crazy bills or issues pop up, I will still have ALL I NEED AND MORE!!!

That way I can give to every opportunity that comes my way.

Because God loves it when we give, He wants us to be givers; He wants His blessing distributed throughout the earth, and He wants to use you to do it, and He will generously reward those who do.

abundance

Let Me Show You HOW to Activate This:

A while back, several financial things hit my wife and I all at once. We had some big business expenses, God had instructed us to give a large amount of money to the Church, we had to buy groceries AND on top of that, we had all of our personal bills to pay – all at the same time.

Needless to say money was a little tight for us that week. But the real issue was there was a wedding and THREE other wedding showers for some close friends of ours, all in that exact same week too!

Now, my wife and I love to give, we live for it. When there are opportunities to bless people, we get excited. Well my wife went shopping with her friend for the first wedding gift, and she texted me, “Hey the gift they registered for is $60 is it okay if I get it?”

So before replying, I thought to myself, well, we do have the $60, not a big deal and it’s a great gift and I want them to have it. But I was also thinking that there are still 3 more gifts on top of that we have to buy for people this week. If the other three are $60 or more, this is going to start to add up…(that was my natural mind working)

But then I thought about this scripture, and I took a minute alone and said, “God, your word PROMISES me in 2 Corinthians 9:8 that you will make every earthly blessing flow to me in abundance so that, no matter the circumstances, no matter how many bills, no matter how many wedding gifts we need to buy, I will have all the finances I need and more so that I can give to every good opportunity, and these weddings are good opportunities.

So in faith, I texted back, “sure go for it!” Knowing God would make a way for us to be able to give to all those opportunities. Because He said He would!

Well the very next day, I got a check in the mail for $1,190 from business deal I had done a while back that I had forgotten about. (Note: Checks in the mail aren’t the usual, but they DO happen! – Point is, one way or another, God will get you what you need and more)

As soon as I had it in my hand, I felt God say “For to every good work.” God caused that earthly blessing to flow towards me at just the right time.

That check more than covered my expenses and gave us plenty leftover to buy great gifts for everyone that week.

See God does exactly what He promises He will do. Every time.

We just have to know HOW to receive and walk in those promises.

We do that by speaking His Word until we believe it and then proving we believe it with our actions.

In this case I proved that I believed God’s Word by telling my wife to go ahead and buy those nice gifts. Showing God that I really do believe what He said!

That’s when I received.

In our final lesson I will teach you how YOU can be someone’s miracle.

Stay strong, you got this. 

 Lesson 7: YOU Be the Miracle

 

tony-stark-robert-downey-stage-iron-man_1389685528

Our Final Lesson in your Quick Start Guide to Financial Increase:

God loves you so much that He doesn’t want you to just scrape by in life, or just barely make it by the skin of your teeth.

No!

He wants you abundantly blessed!

He wants you to be the one who lends and helps people, not the one who does the borrowing and the begging. He wants you to be the one who buys dinner for other people, not the one who always has to have others pay for them.

You are adopted in to God’s royal family! We have to represent!

Here is what you have to get in you: When we learn how to walk in the promise of abundance God has for us, WE CAN CREATE MIRACLES FOR OTHERS!

God doesn’t use His powers and make money supernaturally appear in people’s hand, He doesn’t make money fall out of the sky onto people.

He uses people to get His blessing to others. And He wants to use you!

There have been several times in my life when God used me to bring a miracle to someone else.

Not too long ago, there was a young married couple at my church who, due to unforeseen circumstances, had to move out of their home and into a new apartment by the end of the week.

They both had just started jobs but their first paychecks wouldn’t come in for another 2 weeks.

They had to pay deposits, moving expenses, bills, all kinds of things all hit them at once, and they needed right at $1,000.

But here’s whats cool; they didn’t freak out.

Instead they stood on the scriptures and chose to believe God’s Word of Philippians 4:19 that “God will supply all their needs.”

Well God put it on me and my wife’s heart to give them $500. God put it on the heart of someone else to give them another $500 just a few days later.

You should’ve seen their eyes light up when they got the miracle they had been believing God for.

They told everyone the story and how good God is and how He always takes care of them!

It made God famous, it blessed us to be able to do it, and in fact we gave the $500 without even blinking, we didn’t even notice it was gone, and God brought more financial increase to us because we obeyed him.

So, let me sum this up for you here:

How do we make sure we always have more money than we need?

I am going to drill these points into you until you get them.

1. Tithe. Give God the FIRST 10% of your gross income. This gives God permission to work in your finances and bring increase.

2. Be cheerful givers, excited and looking for opportunities to give.

3. Stand on, and confess 2 Corinthians 9:8 over your life. It does not matter how old you are, your gender, or where you are in life, God’s word works.

You don’t have to have a job, you don’t have to own a business, you don’t have to have to be married, God WILL bring abundance into your life, if you follow these steps, trust him, and TAKES STEPS of action.
