God's Financial System

Destroy poverty then release abundance. That's how I would define the effects of God's Financial System. If we are willing to learn how to operate God's Financial System poverty will be destroyed and abundance released into our lives. 

Before we go on any further let me first define poverty. John Louis Muratori in his book, Rich Church Poor Church does an awesome job of defining poverty from God's perspective. 

"Poverty is not the state of not having. Rather, 'Poverty,' is the fear of not getting, which causes you to hold on tightly to what you have. Poverty is not a 'state of being,' it is a 'state of mind."

God's answer to a 'Poverty State of Mind,' can be seen all over in His word. 

"One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Prov. 11:24-25.

It is only by our response to God's word to be generous and willing to share that the spirit of poverty can be broken over our lives. The times we live in demand such a response, because the natural tendency when economies are weak, markets are unstable, and jobs are uncertain is to give way to the spirit of poverty. 

The spirit of poverty is known by the presence he manifests, FEAR. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. So break out and break free and behold Gods miraculous hand of provision in your life. 

Find out the Widows secret in 1 Kings 17:8-9 and God will be glorified in your life and circumstances and poverty will be broken forever in you life. 

Be Blessed
