💰 THE THIRD AREA THE ENEMY ATTACKS IS OUR FINANCES!
One of the ways the enemy tries to destroy Christians is through FINANCIAL PRESSURE!
When financial pressure comes, we sometimes begin doing things we wouldn’t normally do.
⚠️ We stop giving to God.
⚠️ We allow financial stress to affect our relationship with God.
⚠️ We begin trusting in our own ability to provide instead of trusting the One who IS our Provider!
The enemy wants to turn a CHEERFUL GIVER into a RESENTFUL GIVER!
And if I can be transparent, I HAVE BEEN THERE!
💔 I have walked through seasons of lack. Seasons when I had to do without. Seasons when I didn’t know how things were going to work out.
But I have also experienced seasons of increase.
And sometimes, when the increase came, I became comfortable. I wanted more. I worked more hours than I needed to, trying to buy more things.
I was trying to fill a void in my life with things that could never satisfy my soul.
And somewhere along the way, GOD GOT PUT ON THE BACK BURNER!
I can tell you from experience that when I allowed my priorities to get out of order, things only seemed to get worse.
But when I surrendered, corrected my path, and got my heart right before God, things began to change.
🙌 WHEN I TRUSTED GOD WITHOUT DOUBTING, I SAW MIRACLES THAT ONLY HE COULD PERFORM!
🎄 LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT ONE CHRISTMAS I WILL NEVER FORGET!
There was a Christmas when I had only $40 to spend on my children.
Forty dollars. That was it.
I went to Target hoping to find something on sale.
At the time, our church was doing an Angel Tree, and I had taken an angel whose Christmas wish was a pair of roller skates.
As I walked through Target, I saw those roller skates on sale for $20.
Half of what I had for my own children’s Christmas.
I walked right past them.
But something began tugging at my heart.
I made it out to my car, and MY CAR WOULDN’T START!
In that moment, I knew I needed to go back inside and buy those skates.
So I did.
I chose to give when I didn’t have much to give.
And before that evening was over…
🙌 GOD SHOWED UP IN A WAY I WILL NEVER FORGET!
💵 An unexpected Christmas bonus — $1,000!
💵 Christmas money from my parents — $800!
$1,800 IN UNEXPECTED BLESSINGS!
😭🙌 Not only were we able to provide Christmas for our children, but we were also able to catch up on bills!
NOBODY WILL EVER CONVINCE ME THAT GOD IS NOT FAITHFUL!
I am not saying that every time we give, God will send us a financial blessing.
But I AM saying that God sees our obedience. He knows our needs. And He is faithful even when we cannot see how things will work out!
❤️ God has done more for me than I could ever deserve.
He has shown me mercy when I needed mercy.
He has provided when I couldn’t see a way.
He has covered me and my children time and time again.
And I will NEVER stop thanking Him!
🔥 SOMEONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS TODAY!
DON’T LET YOUR SEASON OF LACK CAUSE YOU TO DOUBT THE GOODNESS OF GOD!
Your bank account does not determine God’s faithfulness!
Your circumstances do not cancel His promises!
And your season of struggle does not mean God has forgotten you!
Sometimes those difficult seasons teach us something that prosperity never could.
HOW TO COMPLETELY DEPEND ON GOD!
Not our paycheck.
Not our savings.
Not our ability to work harder.
But GOD!
📖 LUKE 6:38
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
🔥 DON’T ALLOW FINANCIAL PRESSURE TO STEAL YOUR JOY, YOUR GENEROSITY, OR YOUR TRUST IN GOD!
The enemy wants you focused on what you DON’T have.
But God wants you to remember WHO YOUR SOURCE IS!
🙌 HE WAS FAITHFUL YESTERDAY!
🙌 HE IS FAITHFUL TODAY!
🙌 AND HE WILL BE FAITHFUL TOMORROW!
❤️ I HAVE LIVED THROUGH THE LACK, AND I HAVE WITNESSED THE PROVISION!
And through it all, I can testify…
GOD HAS NEVER STOPPED BEING GOOD!
