Episode Notes:

Introduction & disclaimer:

· We are not financial experts.

· We have struggled over the years with money and made financial mistakes. Did we hear God at those times or did God mislead us? We don’t believe God would mislead us and cause us to lose money so did we hear God wrong, or did we just follow our own desires, or the investments were subject to man and went sour?

First Principle: God owns all the wealth and is our provider

· Psalm 50:10 “for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.”

· Psalm 24:1-2 “The earth belongs to God! Everything in all the world is his! 2 He is the one who pushed the oceans back to let dry land appear.”

· God can do the miraculous. He can bring finances and resources to you, but it usually requires you moving forward and partnering with God, not just waiting for God to drop it in your lap.

Second Principle: God is extremely creative at getting finances or what you need to you

· Gary & Jane share examples from their lives and friend’s lives.

· Don’t expect God to just work the one way.

· Asking God, “God, how are You wanting to get resources to me, and am I managing those resources in the way You want me to?”

Third Principle: Our attitude towards finances is important.

· We can’t worship both God and money.

· Matthew 6:24-34. “You cannot serve two masters: God and money. For you will hate one and love the other, or else the other way around. So my counsel is: Don’t worry about things—food, drink, and clothes. For you already have life and a body—and they are far more important than what to eat and wear. Look at the birds! They don’t worry about what to eat—they don’t need to sow or reap or store up food—for your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are. Will all your worries add a single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothes? Look at the field lilies! They don’t worry about theirs. Yet King Solomon in all his glory was not clothed as beautifully as they. And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won’t he more surely care for you, O men of little faith? So don’t worry at all about having enough food and clothing. Why be like the heathen? For they take pride in all these things and are deeply concerned about them. But your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well that you need them, and he will give them to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to. So don’t be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time.”

· We need to keep money/finances/possessions/resources in the right perspective. Yes, we need finances to live, but we don’t worship money or possessions – they are a tool to be used.

· We can’t expect God to just drop the finances in our lap. We need to partner with God and creatively work to get the finances.

Summary:

1. God owns all the wealth and is our provider.

2. God is extremely creative at getting finances or what you need to you.

3. Our attitude towards finances is important.

Prophetic activation:

Turn your heart and thoughts to Father God and ask Him –

· “God, who would You currently like me to bless, whether that’s financially, physically, or spiritually?”

· “God, what exactly will that look like, and if it’s money, how much would You like me to give to them?”
