DON'T GO BACK TO JAIL.
We were bought with the highest price that could be paid - The Blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ).
Because "The borrower becomes the lender's slave" (Proverbs 22:7), when we go into debt we sell ourselves to become the slave of another. If we belong to Christ we are not our own to sell. When we go into debt we are actually selling that which belongs to God.
Does this mean we should never go into debt for anything? In principle this is true.
However, we must understand that we do not live under the law, and there is a difference between principles and laws.
Laws cannot be broken, but there are exceptions to principles. This does not mean we can just disregard principles any time we want to. It means that we need to hear very clearly from the Lord to do so.
For example, I know some people who years ago felt they should not go into debt for a house, even though the mortgage was less than the lease payments, and the house was in an appreciating market. At the time I felt that this debt was permissible, but they disagreed. Now these people are still leasing, with payments that are much higher than they were then. They could have now owned the house outright, and its value has more than quadrupled.
This does not necessarily mean they should have bought the house, especially if their conscience would not permit them to.
Many believer that "Owe no man anything except love" (See Romans 13:8) is an emphatic command that we cannot compromise.
However, if it were an emphatic commandment, why did He chastise the foolish servant in the parable of the talents for not at least getting interest for his money?
Would the Lord encourage us to lean money at interest if it were a sin to borrow under any circumstances?
In the Old Covenant, the Israelites were commanded not to loan their money at interest to others, which is why the Jews have been the most outstanding bankers in history. Even so, as a principle (not a law), it is better not to go into debt for any reason without a clear, directive from the Lord. We must get out of Debt, and stay out of Debt, EXCEPT when we are clearly permitted to do otherwise for a season.
I PRAY THIS TEACHING IS BRINGING A BALANCED UNDERSTANDING INTO THIS SUBJECT THAT IS MUCH DEBATED.
God's best is - STAY OUT OF DEBT! BORROW ONLY UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Thank you for your continual Prayers and Financial support .... We pray for a Hundredfold Blessing on every Seed Sown into this Ministry.
All Blessings in Jesus Name!

Overcoming the Spirit of Poverty. PART4
RECEIVING THE WEALTH OF NATIONS.
A Law of physics states that energy is never destroyed, but simply changes forms.
The same is true of Wealth; It is never destroyed, but often changes hands. Even during the Great Depression, wealth was not destroyed, but was transfered to those who were in a position to take advantage of the times.
Those who were in this position were those who were not in Debt, and had cash readily available.
Businesses were bought for as little as 10% of their value. Land was bought for as little as a $1 per acre. The wealth was taken from those who had overextended themselves with debt and was received by those who had the Wisdom to live within their means.
We are heading for an even greater economic upheaval than the Great Depression. In some instances, some have labeled the present world economic situation as worst than the Great Depression. And it will get Worst in this World, with Nations on the brink of Bankruptcy and asking for Financial Aid from other Nations and Organizations.
The Bankers and Financial Reporters are trying to cool people's fears, by saying that there is a recovery, and that things are heading back to normal. This is a lie! Things are going to get far worst, Banks are going to close down, and the property market (which is the market that the world economic system operates on, by keeping people in Debt) will totally collapse. It's happened in Ireland lately.
The Worst is yet to come!
Now, I'm not saying this to create Fear, but to Create Joy!
Yes Joy. Because we as the body of Christ, that have been using our Faith and Anticipating these prophetic times will be advantaged and prepared to take advantage of the times and receive authority over unprecedented Wealth.
We have been preparing ourselves for this, by the problems God has allowed us to go through in the past, and some even now. Yes, the problems you have been going through, are preparing you, for the Great Wealth Transfer.
As the Psalmist wisely exhorted: Psalm 32:6 Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when you may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters they shall not reach Him.
The Lord is allowing us not to go through troubles now that are meant to drive us to higher ground. Even if we have been faithful in all things, sometimes the Lord still allows us to go through troubles, just as He did Joseph, so He can trust us even more of His Abundance.
Like Joseph, we are being prepared to properly manage the abundance that we receive, so that it can save lives during the times of famine that are coming.
The Lord wants His people prepared to use the circumstances that are coming for the sake of His Gospel, not just so that we can get rich to show off to our peers or self consumption.
ONE FUNDAMENTAL FLAW THAT WILL KEEP US BOUND BY THE SPIRIT OF POVERTY IS SELFISHNESS.
When it comes to the Lord trusting us with more resources, motives are crucial.
The Lord is right now preparing His people for what is about to come. He has been warning His Church for over 30 years to get out of Debt. He has given us plenty of time to do it. However, because of the expected catastrophic economic problems have take so long to come, many have disregarded the warning. Even now, many are still dogmatic that this will not happen, and fail to Tithe and Sow Finacial Seed into the Kingdom of God, believing it will not effect them. The prophecy God game me, a few years ago, was that everything was going to be shake, that could be shaken. LET ME REMIND YOU, THAT IT IS ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN BUILDING, AND ARE PRESENTLY BUILDING THE TRUTHS OF GOD'S WORD INTO THEIR LIVES, THAT WILL COME OUT OF THIS BIG SHAKE UP, UNHARMED.
There's still time to repent and get our houses in order, but we must not delay another day!
Those who are obedient will have nothing to fear from what is coming, but can look forward to a godly prosperity in the midst of Famine. Those who continue in Disobedience will Pay a Terrible Price for it.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
I HAVE THIS PRAYER THAT I WANT YOU TO OPEN YOUR HEART AND PRAY:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the eyes of my Understanding being enlightened to the truths of your Word,
Help me to make the meditation of my heart and the thoughts of my mind, become agreeable with your Word; So that I amy not be judged with the wicked of this world.
Today, I recommit myself to live by the truth of your Word, and walk in your divine plan for my life.
Thank you for Your grace to continually Obey your Word in Faith.
I may have missed it in the past, and I repent Saying: From this time forth, I am a doer of the Word of God.
Amen.
Friend I pray that the above is helping you understand and walk in the full protection and provision of the God's Promises.
SOWING AND REAPING ARE GOD'S PLAN FOR THE BELIEVER TO LIVE ABOVE THE WORLD'S SYSTEM .... What you sow, is between you and the Lord, but be encouraged to sow your best seed into our ministry today expecting a Bountiful Harvest to come back to you, in the form of your own need.

Overcoming the Spirit of Poverty. PART3
THE MARK OF THE BEAST & THE MARK OF GOD.
Because "THE LOVE" of money is the Root of all evil." (1 Timothy 6:10), Money tests some of the ultimate issues of the human heart. Idolatry is one of the ultimate offenses against God. Money is one of the primary Idols in the world today. And Idol is not just something that people fear or worship, but what they put their TRUST IN.
Money in itself is NOT EVIL, but how we relate to it can be a factor that determines the entire course of our lives for good or evil.
Many sincere Christians still have idolatry in their hearts in relation to money, because they trust more in their jobs or bank accounts than they do in the Lord. Because we know that one of the ultimate tests that comes upon the people living in the last days will revolve around the 'Mark of the Beast", which is an Economic Mark that determones whether we can buy, sell or trade under his system, it is imperative that we confront this in our Lives NOW!
In REVELATION 7:1-3 (Read) we see that four angels are sent to hold back the four winds of the earth until the BONDSLAVES of God have been marked on their foreheads. Believers have spent a great amount of time trying to figure out how this mark of the Beast will come, so they will not be fooled by it, but there has been almost no attention given to how we will take the Mark of God. The only way we will not take the Mark of the Beast, regardless of whether we know what it is or not, is to have the Mark of God.
If we are marked by God we will never have to Fear taking the enemy's mark.
These angels held back the winds of the earth, which are the violent forces that are destined to sweep the earth, until the BONDSERVANTS were Sealed. They key to understanding this seal of God is to Understand the BONDSERVANT, just as the key to understand the Mark of the Beast is to understand who those taking the Mark are serving, which is the Beast.
IT IS OBVIOUS THAT NOT ALL BELIEVERS ARE BONDSERVANTS.
Many really do come to an understanding of the sacrifice of Jesus for their sins, but they still go on living their lives for themselves. We were the slaves of sin and were purchased by the cross. If we are Christ's we are NO LONGER OUR OWN - We belong to Him. A BONDSERVANT does not live for himself, but for his master.
This commitment is not just an intellectual agreement with certain Biblical principles; It is the commitment to a radical Lifestyle of Obedience.
A BONDESERVANT does not have any money or time of his own, and he therefore cannot freely spend what he has been entrusted with, since it is not his. Even his family belongs to his Master.
To Voluntarily become a slave is the ultimate commitment that can be made in this world. That is what it really means to embrace the Cross. Those who are truly BONDSERVANTS are the ones who will receive His Mark, and escape the Mark of the Beast.
Even though the Lord purchased us with His blood, He will not force anyone to be His BONDSERVANT. In Scripture a BONDASERVANT was one who was able to go Free, but loved his Master so much that he chose to be his slave for the rest of his life. HAVE YOU CHOSEN THE FREE LIFE? WHERE SLAVERY IS TRUE FREEDOM.
We, too are FREE to choose whether we will be a BONDSERVANT or not.
God allows us to choose whether we will serve Him or Not, because FREEDOM is required for true Worship or for true Obedience from the heart.
There can be no Obedience from the heart unless there is the Freedom to Disobey.
The reason He put the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden was to give man the Freedom to Choose whom he would serve. This was not to cause man to fall, but rather so that man could prove his devotion. If all the Lord had wanted was Obedience, He would have done better to just create computers and programed them to worship Him. Would this kind of worship be acceptable to anyone, much less our Glorious Creator?
We are free to go on living for ourselves but it is the Ultimate Folly.
We must know the Lord as our Source and keep our trust in Him.
THE KEY TO SURVIVAL IN THIS TIME IS BEING A BONDSERVANT!
Every master is obligated to provide for his slaves, and we have the most dependent Master of all. He will take care of His own.
When we are truly dead to the world there is nothing the world can do to us. It is impossible for a dead man to fear, to be offended, or to feel remorse because he loses some of his possessions. To the Degree that we fear the loss of our possessions or positions, that is probably the degree to which we are still not dead to these things.
The Enemy uses Fear to Bind us just as the Lord uses Faith to set us Free.
When we are dead to this world but alive to Christ we have Him - all of the treasures of the earth seem petty and insignificant. When we are seated with the King od Kings on His Throne, what pull can any earthly position have for us?
This does not mean that we do not have a genuine care for our jobs or ministries here, but we care for them because they have been entrusted to us by Him, and we engage in them as worship unto Him.
If our positions here are taken from us, we are still seated with Him, and we will worship Him in whatever way He calls us to next.
We are His slaves, and we must be content with whatever job He gives to us.
When Christ is our life, our Trust, and the true Desire of our Hearts, He can trust us with the earthly possessions and positions that we are called to rule over. But if He is not our Life, our Trust, and the Desire of our hearts, our possessions and positions will inevitably rule over us, making us Slave to them. But if He is not our Life, our Trust, and the Desire of our hearts, our possessions and positions will inevitably rule over us.
WHOEVER OR WHATEVER RULES OVER US IS IN FACT OUR LORD!
We are entering a time when the Lordship of JESUS must be more than a doctrine, or something we choose to believe, over something else - It must be a profound and continuing reality in our lives. Then we will be FREE INDEED.
When we are fully yoked to Him, having cast off the yokes of this present Evil Age, He will then be Free to Trust us with the Unlimited Resources of His Kingdom.
I pray this teaching has helped you to Redefine your Position in the Kingdom of God, and mostly to make all the right adjustments to positions yourself to Receive what He has for you to contribute to His Kingdom. Amen.

Overcoming the Spirit of Poverty. PART2
One of the most basic conflicts between the kingdom of God and this present age is that the latter is built on slavery, but the Lord came to set men free. Everything that Satan does is intended to increase the yoke of bondage upon us. Everything that the Lord does is intended to set us free.
As we proceed toward the end of the age, the differences between these two kingdoms will become increasingly pronounced.
How do we get free to live to live in the kingdom of God?
This is the quest of every believer. Then, once our lives are firmly established in the kingdom, we must seek to tear down the strongholds of the enemy and set his captives free. In our battle we must always remember that the conflict is between slavery and freedom. If you belong to Christ Jesus you are called to be free.
It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke (bondage) of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)
The Lord purchased us with His own blood.
We belong to the King of Kings. He has called us to be sons of God, joint heirs with Him. We are called to represent His Kingdom as ambassadors, walking as members of the highest nobility, royalty of the highest order, God's own family. To do this, we must be free from the yokes of this present age, and carry only His yoke.
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy - laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.(Mathew 11:28-30)
Yokes represent bondage - One of them, being finacial bondage.
There are yokes of bondage by which men are kept in darkness and oppression. These yokes usually appear to be a form of freedom, but result in the most terrible burdens. In contrast, the Lord's yoke appears at first to be bondage, but results in the greatest freedom we can ever know.
We willl all carry someones yoke. We will either carry the yokes of this present evil age or the yoke of the Lord. If we are to carry the Lord's yoke, we must cast off every yoke of the enemy. We cannot serve two masters. The one whose yoke we carry will be the one we serve and represent in this world.
We can make every claim to be Christian, but if we live our lives according to the ways of this present evil age, we are serving the powers of evil.
You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whosoever wishes to be friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: "He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us?"
But He gives a greater grace, Therefore it says, "GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."
Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you, Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:4-8)
There can be no compromise.
If we are yoked to the Lord, we will serve Him only.
As we proceed to the end of this age, the differences are going to become more pronounced, and the battle between the two kingdoms more fierce. But all of this is happening for the purpose of setting us free!
All that happens will result in the Lord having a bride that is prepared for Him, without spot or blemish.
The Scriptures are clear that great troubles are coming upon the world at the end of this age. Even if we believe that we will be rapture before the "great tribulation,: what the Lord said was just "the beginning of birth pangs" makes it clear that we must be prepared for difficulties. Our preparation for difficulties is to see first the kingdom, live in the kingdom, and always represent the kingdom of God, which is simply to Obey the King.
If we are faithful to do this, we do not have to fear these difficulties, whether we believe that we will go through the tribulation or not.
The kingdom of God cannot be shaken, and if we have built our lives upon it, we will not be shaken to destruction.
Every difficulty that comes upon us now is to help us build our lives on the kingdom of God.
For it is time for judgement to begin with the household of God. (1 Peter 4:17)
When we hear the word "JUDGMENT', we often equate it with destruction caused by the Lord's ultimate wrath. If we read the Scriptures in the Languages in which they were originally written, we would not feel this way.
The Greek word that is translated 'JUDGMENT' in this text is 'KRISIS', the word from which we derive our English word "CRISIS'. This what we read in news paper headlines all over the world.
Crisis this, and Crisis that.
A definition of CRISIS is "the point in a disease or trauma when it is determined if the patient will live or die."
The above scripture could have been translated, "It is time for Crisis to begin with the house of God."
The implication is that the church will go through crisis before the world does.
God allows this so that when the world is going through crisis we will be on Solid Ground.
I believe that we are already in this position. We've gone through and we've withstood the winds of hell. Now we Strong and can withstand anything that goes on this this world. AMEN!
This is what James Wrote:
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your Faith produces patience.
But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. (James 1:2-4 NKJV)
HERE WE SEE THAT RIALS PRODUCE PATIENCE (persistence), WHICH LEADS TO OUR PERFECTION, SO THAT WE WILL NOT LACK ANYTHING.
THAT IS TRUE BIBLICAL PROSPERITY!
'The earth is the Lord's, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it" (Psalm 1:2-4 NKJV)
Even though it is presently subject to bondage because of the fall, the Lord is going to take this world back. We have been called to be part of His invasion force, but we can only be on one side in this battle.
We must now get free of every yoke of the enemy that causes us in any way to compromise the ways of the kingdom of God.
The trials we are now going through are all meant to help us do this.
The Lord is not the least worried about the economy, or any other human problems.
We are called to be seated with Him in Heavenly places (READ Ephesians 2:6).
Our Lord will never lack for resources to do what He wants to do.
Neither will we ever lack for the resources to do what He wants us to do.
I PRAY THAT THIS TEACHING HAS BROUGHT MORE LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT OF PROSPERITY, AND THAT YOU KEEP PROSPERING EVEN AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS.

How do we get free to live to live in the kingdom of God?
This is the quest of every believer. Then, once our lives are firmly established in the kingdom, we must seek to tear down the strongholds of the enemy and set his captives free. In our battle we must always remember that the conflict is between slavery and freedom. If you belong to Christ Jesus you are called to be free.
It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke (bondage) of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)
The Lord purchased us with His own blood.
We belong to the King of Kings. He has called us to be sons of God, joint heirs with Him. We are called to represent His Kingdom as ambassadors, walking as members of the highest nobility, royalty of the highest order, God's own family. To do this, we must be free from the yokes of this present age, and carry only His yoke.
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy - laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.(Mathew 11:28-30)
Yokes represent bondage - One of them, being finacial bondage.
There are yokes of bondage by which men are kept in darkness and oppression. These yokes usually appear to be a form of freedom, but result in the most terrible burdens. In contrast, the Lord's yoke appears at first to be bondage, but results in the greatest freedom we can ever know.
We willl all carry someones yoke. We will either carry the yokes of this present evil age or the yoke of the Lord. If we are to carry the Lord's yoke, we must cast off every yoke of the enemy. We cannot serve two masters. The one whose yoke we carry will be the one we serve and represent in this world.
We can make every claim to be Christian, but if we live our lives according to the ways of this present evil age, we are serving the powers of evil.
You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whosoever wishes to be friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: "He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us?"
But He gives a greater grace, Therefore it says, "GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."
Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you, Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:4-8)
There can be no compromise.
If we are yoked to the Lord, we will serve Him only.
As we proceed to the end of this age, the differences are going to become more pronounced, and the battle between the two kingdoms more fierce. But all of this is happening for the purpose of setting us free!
All that happens will result in the Lord having a bride that is prepared for Him, without spot or blemish.
The Scriptures are clear that great troubles are coming upon the world at the end of this age. Even if we believe that we will be rapture before the "great tribulation,: what the Lord said was just "the beginning of birth pangs" makes it clear that we must be prepared for difficulties. Our preparation for difficulties is to see first the kingdom, live in the kingdom, and always represent the kingdom of God, which is simply to Obey the King.
If we are faithful to do this, we do not have to fear these difficulties, whether we believe that we will go through the tribulation or not.
The kingdom of God cannot be shaken, and if we have built our lives upon it, we will not be shaken to destruction.
Every difficulty that comes upon us now is to help us build our lives on the kingdom of God.
For it is time for judgement to begin with the household of God. (1 Peter 4:17)
When we hear the word "JUDGMENT', we often equate it with destruction caused by the Lord's ultimate wrath. If we read the Scriptures in the Languages in which they were originally written, we would not feel this way.
The Greek word that is translated 'JUDGMENT' in this text is 'KRISIS', the word from which we derive our English word "CRISIS'. This what we read in news paper headlines all over the world.
Crisis this, and Crisis that.
A definition of CRISIS is "the point in a disease or trauma when it is determined if the patient will live or die."
The above scripture could have been translated, "It is time for Crisis to begin with the house of God."
The implication is that the church will go through crisis before the world does.
God allows this so that when the world is going through crisis we will be on Solid Ground.
I believe that we are already in this position. We've gone through and we've withstood the winds of hell. Now we Strong and can withstand anything that goes on this this world. AMEN!
This is what James Wrote:
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your Faith produces patience.
But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. (James 1:2-4 NKJV)
HERE WE SEE THAT RIALS PRODUCE PATIENCE (persistence), WHICH LEADS TO OUR PERFECTION, SO THAT WE WILL NOT LACK ANYTHING.
THAT IS TRUE BIBLICAL PROSPERITY!
'The earth is the Lord's, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it" (Psalm 1:2-4 NKJV)
Even though it is presently subject to bondage because of the fall, the Lord is going to take this world back. We have been called to be part of His invasion force, but we can only be on one side in this battle.
We must now get free of every yoke of the enemy that causes us in any way to compromise the ways of the kingdom of God.
The trials we are now going through are all meant to help us do this.
The Lord is not the least worried about the economy, or any other human problems.
We are called to be seated with Him in Heavenly places (READ Ephesians 2:6).
Our Lord will never lack for resources to do what He wants to do.
Neither will we ever lack for the resources to do what He wants us to do.
I PRAY THAT THIS TEACHING HAS BROUGHT MORE LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT OF PROSPERITY, AND THAT YOU KEEP PROSPERING EVEN AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS.

Overcoming the Spirit of Poverty. PART1
Friend there has never been such a timely and Liberating Message as this one, which you are about to Read. Put your Spiritual Battle Clothes on and lets go for a Ride.
Satan would do anything possible, to try and keep you from reading this Message, so I pray in Jesus Name that he be bound and that the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation come upon you right now, and enlighten the eyes of your Understanding, that you may receive. In Jesus Name.
Unknowingly, to most people including church people, is that we are all in a spiritual battle against demonic powers and evil spirits that will attempt to defeat you and destroy you. And one of those evil spirits is the Spirit of Poverty (You'll see in this teaching that this has very little to do with Money).
The Spirit of Poverty is one of the most powerful and deadly strongholds Satan uses to keep the world in bondage. Every church and every believer must fight and overcome this enemy in order to walk in the purposes for which they are called. This Stronghold is one of the enemy's most successful weapons against us, but by overcoming it we gain a place of Spiritual Authority FROM WHICH WE CAN BE USED TO MEET SOME OF THE WORLD'S PRESSING NEEDS.
Wherever this stronghold is overthrown, it is like casting off the darkness of the most terrible spiritual winter and seeing the world blossom into spring again.
When we think of Poverty, we usually think of money or economics, but the spirit of poverty may or may not have anything to do with these. The SPIRIT OF POVERTY IS A STRONGHOLD ESTABLISHED FOR THE PURPOSE OF KEEPING US FROM WALKING IN THE FULLNESS OF THE VICTORY GAINED FOR US AT THE CROSS, OR THE BLESSINGS OF OUR INHERITANCE IN CHRIST.
This can relate to everything from the quality of our Marriages to the Anointing we have for Ministry, as well as any other resources that we need for what we have been called to do.
The Goal of the spirit of poverty is not just to keep things from us, but to keep us from the will of God. To do this, Satan may even give us great riches, but our lives will nevertheless be just as empty and full of worries as if we were broke and destitute.
The First Step toward defeating the works of darkness is to understand them. We must then apply what God has said in relation to them. Satan is called "The Prince of Darkness" because darkness is his domain. His main strategy is to keep us from seeing the light of God's Word. Therefore, whenever the light of understanding shines on something, his authority over it is broken.
Because Satan can only rule where there is darkness, or ignorance of the truth of God, truth breaks his power. This is why the Lord said, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32)
Both the Lord Jesus and the Church are called "The light of the world" (See John 8:12 and Mathew 5:14) Jesus came to "Destroy the works of the devil." (1 John 3:8), and the way that He did this was by shining light into the darkness. When we walk in the light as He did we will also destroy the enemy's works.
The Lord has given us divinely powerful weapons for the destruction of strongholds (See 2 Corinthians 10:4). Strongholds are maintained by what the Scriptures call principalities. We can cast out demons, but we must wrestle against principalities (See Ephesians 6:12). Wrestling is the closest form of combat, and it is one in which we seek to displace our foes.
GET THIS! Principalities will not flee just because we command them to. We must push them out by walking in the light that exposes them. Truth Spoken by the anointing, is the most powerful weapon there is, and we have been entrusted with it.
Our goal for being free from the spirit of poverty is not just so that we can have things that we need or want, but so that we can do the will of God, without hindrance from either physical or spiritual depravity. When the world witnesses our freedom, it will start asking for answers that we have. When we are free from the yoke of the spirit of poverty, our freedom will be manifested in the natural as well as the spiritual.
Spiritual authority will always have dominion in the natural realm as well, just as the Lord's spiritual authority was manifested by His healing the sick, raising the dead, and even multiplying food.
One evidence that we have been truly freed from the yoke of the spirit of poverty is financial independence. Financial Independence does not necessarily mean that we have Million in the Bank, It does mean that we are free of every Financial Yoke, so that we only have to make decisions based on what the will of the Lord is, not on how much money we have or do not have. I know that this statement is foreign to most believers, it's the truth anyway.
It is God's will that we have more than enough to fulfill his any given instruction. Like Paul we must be content if we are either abased or abounding, as long as it is the will of God for us. That is the key phrase: If it is God's will for us. We don't want to be either abased or abounding if it is not His will. The key for Liberation from any evil stronghold in our life is to know God's Will.
It is important for the Church to be prepared to handle unprecedented wealth.
There are a number of Prophetic Scriptures which indicate that the Wealth of the Nations will be brought into the Church. This will be a great opportunity for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. BUT IT WILL COME AS A RESULT OF THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE KINGDOM, BUT WE MUST REMEMBER THAT SOME OF THE GREATEST TESTS AT THE END OF THIS AGE WILL BE ECONOMIC.
That is why the Mark of the Beast is an Economic Mark, which determines whether we can buy, sell or trade. If we are not free from the yoke of the spirit of poverty, when we receive wealth it will only further corrupt us,and defeat us.
In the end, when the great economic trials are coming upon the world (as it is now happening in many Nations) the faithful will be standing on the Rock that cannot be shaken. That is why many are going through Economic Trials Now. All of them are meant to free us. They are a test, and God's tests are for the purpose of Promotion. IF YOU BEING TESTED NOW, PASS THE TEST, AND GET READY FOR YOUR PROMOTION.
It is Now Time that we pass them, so we can go on to the Better Things.
It is imperative that we set a goal for being financially independent, because that is His will for any of His Children. It is not His will for any of His to be bound by the yokes of this world. There is a clear, biblical strategy that will both get us there and keep us there - If we will follow it Faithfully!
We must therefore seek financial independence, but always keep in mind that it is a means and not the end in itself. To be financially independent without knowing our purpose in God would be like getting all dressed up with no place to go.
Getting free of this stronghold is for the purpose of enabling us to do His will.
(Some are called to go, other are called to Send them! If you not the first, you are the second.)
Seeing that purpose is part of the motivation that it will take to be faithful to His Word.
I HAVE THEREFORE CONCLUDED THAT THIS TEACHING IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, WILL HELP YOU ACHIEVE THIS PURPOSE.
My prayer for you, is that you receive this word and understand that there is a very real spiritual War waged against your life, from the Kingdom of Darkness - Go through to the other side, because your Promotion is on the other side of your Obedience.
In my next teaching, I will Teach you, on How to "Get Out of Jail Free!"

Financial Freedom Series - "Recognizing Your Prosperity Heritage"
Prosperity is a part of our HEAVENLY HERITAGE. It comes with being a child of the King!
You have the ability to take back what the Devil has stolen. You can claim a significant portion of the riches of this world and use them to finance the final, end-time harvest before the return of Jesus!
This passage of Scripture puts into proper perspective our position in this spiritual battle and highlights our spiritual heritage better than any other.
Behold, I give unto you POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions, and OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY; and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19)
God has given us power over the enemy, and by now you know that poverty is clearly one of the tools the enemy used to keep us weak and ineffective. But we have the power to overcome Poverty. It is part of our prosperity heritage as sons and daughters of the Most High God.
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. (Hebrews 2:14)
Look at that carefully: The Devil HAD the power, but today he is DEFEATED.
Jesus wiped out the Devil's power. He can no longer keep you Poor.
Now God is calling you to be a great giver and to participate in every aspect of the END-TIME-HARVEST.
As strange as it may seem, you are now beginning to see that this wonderful truth about abundance is not just an impossible dream; It is a reality that is happening to you.
You are possessing a new prosperity mentality.
You are walking out of the door of financial impossibilities and crossing the threshold of unlimited financial possibilities through the power of God!
God has given you authority over the enemy. Your Heavenly Father wants you to abound in all good things.
THIS AUTHORITY IS YOUR TO BE USED! USE IT .... AND YOU WILL BE WALKING IN A NTOTALLY NEW DIMENTION IN YOUR FINANCES FROM THIS TIME FORTH.
We believe that every Financial seed sown into Caly Ferreira Ministries, will produce a Harvest named "OUT OF THE CONTROL, OF THE SPIRIT OF POVERTY" in you life!

Financial Freedom Series - "The Choice is Yours"
For too long we have believed the devil's lie.
Satan says some people are destined to be poor, and some people are destined to be rich, and there's nothing anyone can do about either circumstance.
This Satanic lie has crippled Christians and Ministries for far too long!
I believe it is time we learn the Truth.
There are three main reasons we know this destructive statement is a lie:
1. It is a lie because God is not a respecter of person.
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons. (Acts 10:34)
God did not predetermine who would be rich and who would be poor.
He simply created His spiritual laws, and freely gave them to everyone. Every person then has a choice - to implement the laws of poverty, or to implement God's spiritual laws of poverty.
2. It is a lie because God's desire is that you prosper.
This truth is plainly stated in Scripture:
Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. (3 John 2)
Prosperity, not poverty, is God's intention for your life.
3. It is a lie because God has given you the power to get wealth.
But you shall remember the Lord your God; for it is He that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he promised to your fathers, as it is this day. (Deuteronomy 8:18)
God would not give you power to get wealth if He did not intend for you to use that power and become wealthy.
The decision to live in poverty or prosperity is yours.
God has already cast His vote. He wants you to be prosperous.
Make your life-changing decision today to reject the destructive laws of poverty and accept your God-given rights under God's law of Abundance.
REMEMBER:
* God is not respecter of persons. (Acts 10:34)
* God wants you to prosper. (3 John 2)
* God gives you the power to get wealth. (Deuteronomy 8:18)
Today is the Day for you to make the decision for your Financial Freedom, by choosing God's Laws of Prosperity and thereby Reject The Laws of Poverty!
I PRAY THAT THESE TRUTHS ARE CUTTING INTO YOUR SPIRIT MAN AND GIVING YOU LIGHT CONCERNING GOD'S WILL FOR YOU, AND HIS PLAN FOR YOUR FINANCIAL FREEDOM.
Final point to remember:Nothing Happens Financially, Until you do something Financial!

Financial Freedom Series - Walking in Abundance
You have already taken the First Step toward walking in abundance, for you know it is what God intends for His children.
Once you know God desires abundance for you, you are ready to take the second step. Right now, form an effective Giving and Receiving Covenant with God.
Pray this Prayer out loud to the Lord.
Dear Lord, I sincerely desire to give an ever-increasing portion of wealth to you for the financing of your great End-Time Harvest. Today, I solelemnly pledge to become more involved in the spreading of the gospel by sowing money into the Kingdom of God. I will begin by giving R ............... (Weekly, Monthly) into your work, in addition to my Tithe.
Beginning today, by Faith, I am planting these Money-Seeds TO START YOUR FLOW OF ABUNDANCE IN MY LIFE. I promise that as you multiply a money harvest back to me, I wilL always reinvest a generous portion into the Gospel.
Thank You, Lord, for revealing these principles of Biblical Economics to me. I am now determined to unleashe these bold, new principles into my own life. I thank you now for your abundance which this positive action on my part will bring to pass soon. AMEN.
Now take that critical Third Step. Exercise the Covenant. Not only must you know God's principles of Biblical Economics, and make a covenant with God, you must faithfully exercise the covenant; You must now put these principles to work.
Begin giving today, and God will begin blessing and returning to you larger and larger amounts of wealth to liberally reinvest into the gospel ministry.
Give, and it shall be given unto you ... (Luke 6:38)
Give to your local church first, as it is the place God has chosen to feed you spiritually, and go one step further, in Sowing into Outreach Projects undertaken by your Pastor, and those God puts on your heart.
Always remember that your increase does not come from the specific ministry to which you give. You are really giving to God, and He has no limit on the way He will choose to give funds to you.
I PRAY THIS PRACTICAL APPROACH IS HELPING YOU STEP OUT IN FAITH, AND RECEIVE THAT WHICH GOD HAS ALREADY MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU!
Once you know God desires abundance for you, you are ready to take the second step. Right now, form an effective Giving and Receiving Covenant with God.
Pray this Prayer out loud to the Lord.

Now take that critical Third Step. Exercise the Covenant. Not only must you know God's principles of Biblical Economics, and make a covenant with God, you must faithfully exercise the covenant; You must now put these principles to work.
Begin giving today, and God will begin blessing and returning to you larger and larger amounts of wealth to liberally reinvest into the gospel ministry.
Give, and it shall be given unto you ... (Luke 6:38)
Give to your local church first, as it is the place God has chosen to feed you spiritually, and go one step further, in Sowing into Outreach Projects undertaken by your Pastor, and those God puts on your heart.
Always remember that your increase does not come from the specific ministry to which you give. You are really giving to God, and He has no limit on the way He will choose to give funds to you.
I PRAY THIS PRACTICAL APPROACH IS HELPING YOU STEP OUT IN FAITH, AND RECEIVE THAT WHICH GOD HAS ALREADY MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU!

Financial Freedom Series - Giving Always Results in Receiving.
Memorize this Title " GIVING ALWAYS RESULTS IN RECEIVING."
It is a vital principle of Biblical Economics. Giving always results in Receiving!
You have God's Word on it:
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you measure with, it shall be measured to you again. (Luke 6:38)
LOOK CLOSELY AT THESE KEY POINTS:
1. God promised to return your gift to you. He says you will receive a "Good Measure," literally "running over." God will bless you when you give to Him (You give to him, when you invest in the Gospel, in supporting your local church, and other outreach ministries).
2. God says your blessings will come from men who shall give to you. God uses people, and so He has no difficulty blessing you from unexpected places. The source God uses doesn't matter. What is important is that you understand this biblical principle; when you give, you will receive a return.
3. You will receive in the same measure that you give. Remember, the measure is not How much you give, but How much you give in proportion to your income (you can base it, on what you have left over).
This scripture does not promise that if you give five Rands or Dollars, you will receive five Rands or Dollars in return. It says if the five Rands or Dollars you gave is simply casual pocket money, you will not receive a very large return. You will receive the five Rands or Dollars back, but not in a great multiplied measure.
However, if that five Rands or Dollars are a very critical part of your remaining funds, a precious seed out of your limited remaining resources, it becomes a great measure in God's eyes, and you will receive a great measure in return from Him. Your gift will be greatly multiplied.
When you become a giver, you automaticlly move yourself into the realm of a receiver. There are no excemption to this rule. However, there are levels of receiving: "... Some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred [fold]" (Mark 4:8).
The measure you use in giving will determine the measure God will apply to you in receiving. No matter with what measure you give your gift, when you give to God, you will receive a return.
"Give, and it shall be given unto you ... " (Luke 6:38)
Remember: Be not deceived (don't be fooled); God is not mocked (He cannot be fooled); For whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. ( Galatians 6:7)
Now you understand why the title of this lesson is so important. Do not forget it!
GIVING ALWAYS RESULTS IN RECEIVING!
I believe that this revelation is burning in your heart, and that God is moving on you through this Word to lead you out of Debt, Lack and Insufficiency! What you do, next, will determine the results you'll get in your finances. GIVE AND WILL BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU ... IN GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN, AND RUNNING OVER.
Be Blessed!

Financial Freedom Series - Can There Be Prosperity Without the Tithe?
God wants to Build an end-time temple, a holy habitation not made with hands. To do this He must have an end-time army of special saints to accomplish His vision. This truth became a revelation to me, after years of studying the Bible. It is totally based upon Scripture. God will give the responsibility of building His great end-time dwelling place to those who have proven themselves faithful in financial matters.
When King Josiah commissioned workers for the restoration of the temple, he gave the work to those craftsmen who had already proven themselves FAITHFUL IN THEIR FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS.
2 Kings 22:5-7 And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work ... To repair the breaches of the house,
Unto Carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house. Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt FAITHFULLY.
God did not choose these men for the labor because they had PROMISED to be faithful. He chose them because they had already PROVEN THEMSELVES FAITHFUL.
When it came time for King Josiah to choose who would work in the great restoration of the temple. God told the king to select these men because they had an established record of DEALING FAITHFULLY IN THEIR FINANCES. God uses people who are faithful in their finances, and TITHING is part of that faithfulness.
Many times people have said to me, "Pastor Caly, when I get a large sum of money (such as an inheritance, or hit the Lotto, or some other get rich-quick scheme), I will then become a faithful Tither to the Lord."
That's not God's way! GOD REQUIRES THAT WE FIRST BE FAITHFUL IN THE LITTLE MATTERS, RIGHT IN THE MIDST OF OUR CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES. Then He will grant us an abundance.
It was true in the Old and New Testaments, and it's true today.
Let's read what the ruler said to his faithful servant in the Parable of the Talents.
Mathew 25:23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things; Enter into the joy of the Lord.
Remember what Jesus said to His disciples about Faithfulness.
Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
If you want to be a part of the NEXT BIG MOVE OF GOD, don't just get your finances in order temporarily. Keep them in order from now on, and be faithful.
1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required (not just desired) in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
TITHING IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF YOUR FAITHFULNESS IN THE AREA OF FINANCES, WITHOUT IT, FINANCIAL FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY IN GOD, IS SIMPLY A FAR AWAY DREAM.
Show Him that you can be Trusted, and you'll see where He will take you!

Financial Freedom Series - Bank on God's Promises.
Everyday we hear various commercial banks waging economic war with their competitors. They try to offer us something that will convince us to deposit our money in their bank. Some offer higher interest rates on savings accounts. Others offer checking accounts with no service charges. They sometimes even offer free gifts, just to lure us into investing our funds in their institution.
But God offers us the best banking program ever.
Read the generous return He gives for your Investments.
2 Corinthians 9:6,8-11 (TLB)
But remember this - if you give little, you will get little. A farmer who plants just a few seeds will get only a small crop, but if he plants much, he will reap much.
God is able to make it up to you by giving you everything you need and more, so that there will not only be enough for your own needs, but plenty left over to give joyfully to others.
It is as the Scriptures say: "The gdly man gives generously to the poor. His good deeds will be an honor to him for ever."
For God, who gives seed to the farmer to plant, and later on, good crops to harvest and eat, will give you more and more seed to plant andwill make it grow so that you can give away more and more fruit from your harvest.
Yes, God will give you much so that you can give away much ...
Now that you are putting your money in God's bank, you can expect to receive God's promises which assure you of the provision of everything you need and more.
You literally cannot give away too much money when you give in the Name of the Lord. Each time you give an offering, God will return it to you multiplied.
Just as an earthly banker knows the world's secrets of abundance, you can literally Bank on God and His promises. He will see that you have abundant treasures in heaven and on the earth, even more than enough.
YOU MONEY SEED, HAS THE POTENTIAL OF PRODUCING A BREAKTHROUGH HARVEST, TO MEET YOUR EVERY NEED, IF YOU WILL SOW IT!
Don't eat your Seed .... Sow Your Seed!

Financial Freedom Series - Blessings Follow Proper Priorities.
Only one time in the Bible do we read where someone inquired of Jesus how to be saved.
The one who posed this question was a rich young ruler who asked, "... Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (Luke 18:18)
As amazing as it may seem, Jesus preached a money sermon to that young boy. He told him to go sell all he had, give it to the poor, and follow Him! Why did Jesus say such a thing? Do you think it was because He wanted that young fellow to be poor?
NO, of course not!
It was because Jesus wanted him to get his priorities straight!
If the young ruler had agreed to give up his riches for the sake of the Gospel, Jesus would have given the riches back to him greatly increased. (Mark 10:29-30)
Scripture teaches that it is impossible to go broke giving to the poor (Let me just had, that the greatest gift we can give the poor is the opportunity to make Jesus Lord of their lives). Giving to the Gospel is giving to the poor.
Proverbs 19:17 He that has pity upon the poor lends to the Lord; and that which he has given will he pay him again.
Now remember, God must be your first priority.
When His priority is established over your money, the Lord can begin to do some mighty things in your life and your finances. Remember, God gives you power to get wealth.
But you shall remember the Lord your God; for it is He that gives you power to get wealth; That He may establish his covenant ... (Deuteronomy 8:18)
God wants to establish His covenant to make you a blessing to others.
And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. (Genesis 12:2)
Yes, God wants to bless you, so you can go forth and fulfill His second priority:To love and bless your neighbor as you are loved and blessed yourself. God has given us the power to get wealth so that we (the whole Body of Christ) can go forth and preach the gospel throughout the entire world without apologizing to anyone, without fussing and fighting over past-due bills, and without large extensions of credit.
God has given you the power to get wealth so you can share the gospel with the world, without going into debt.
Surely, now is the time for the Church to violently break out of the poverty cycle.
It is time to stop the trickle of finacial blessings in our lives, and make some violent breakthroughs that will properly fund our end-time Vision of reaching the world with the Word of God, and the Love of His Son Jesus.
Remember, along with a knowledge of God's plan for abundance, takes decisive action.
Knowledge without action will do nothing for you. Faith is a fact, and Faith is an Act. Breakthrough comes when you ACT on the Knowledge you have received.
The farmer must first plant seeds. Sometimes he sows in every hard ground, from early morning to late at night, in the hot sun, often without lunch. If he wants a great harvest, he must fight to get seed into the ground.
The same is true in your financial walk. Sometimes seed planting is very hard, Circumstances may say, "You can't afford to Give those Offerings." But do it anyway!
Circumstances may say, "You can't afford to Tithe before you pay your Bills." But do it anyway!
Breakthrough in Sowing (Giving) always go before Breakthrough in harvesting (Receiving).
And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we will reap (Receive), if we faint not. (Galatians 6:9)
BLESSINGS ALWAYS FOLLOWS PROPER PRIORITIES, WITH GOD.
You are on the verge of the Greatest Joy, you've ever known - By Making God your Source, and breaking out of the Limitations of this World!

Financial Freedom Series - Giving Before Receiving
By Now, we've discovered that God sets Priorities.
I want to emphasize one of the most Elementary Priorities of all.
"GIVING ALWAYS GOES BEFORE RECEIVING!"
The world would have you believe that you receive first, then you Give.
So many times I have heard good, honest, sincere Christians say: Oh, brother Caly, when I receive a Million Bucks, I'm going to give into your Ministry, and Partner with you, in your TV Project that you have been believing God for! You just watch, I know I will!
The Bible contradicts that bit of human reasoning. It says a person must be faithful in a little, or he will never have the opportunity to be faithful in a lot.
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. (Luke 16:10)
Now read this sentence carefully: Waiting for abundance before starting to give will not insure the giving of large gifts; It will actually insure just the opposite - You will not give at all.
First things come first.
If you want to receive from God, you must first begin to give.
The Bible clearly teaches this principle over and over again, throughout the entire book. Luke 6:38 Says to give first, then it will be given to you.
Malachi 3:10 Says to Tithe first, then God will open the Windows of Heaven and pour out a Blessing upon you.
Even unsaved farmers know this primary principle: You must sow before you can reap. You will never hear a farmer say, "I'm not going to do any planting right now! God must first give me a Harvest of wheat, then I'll plant my seed in the field."
Every farmer knows that such a thing simply will not happen. He knows that he must first plant seeds, no matter how few he has, and then he will get back a harvest.
Does the Lord give you salvation first, and then you give your heart to Him? Of course not. First you give your heart to Him, and then He gives you eternal life.
God's principle of first planting, then reaping, is firmly entrenched in every aspect of life, from Genesis to Revelation, from farming to propagation of every species.
Breakthroughs in sowing (Giving) always go before breakthroughs in harvesting (receiving).
And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap (receive), if we faint not. (Galatians 6:9)
There is no hope of increase without planting seed!
Remember what Solomon said:
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born and a time to die: A time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-2)
REMEMBER: Giving always goes before Receiving!
God wants to prosper you, and meet your every need, and His method has never changed. YOU MUST FIRST SOW, TO REAP!
I want to emphasize one of the most Elementary Priorities of all.
"GIVING ALWAYS GOES BEFORE RECEIVING!"
The world would have you believe that you receive first, then you Give.

Financial Freedom Series - Tithe First.
To operate the principles of Biblical economics in your life, not only must your priorities concerning God be proper, but your priorities in your giving must be clear.
A major question many Christians ask as they begin to put their financial house in order is: "DO I TITHE BEFORE OR AFTER I PAY MY BILLS?"
Many people will pay all of their bills, and then, after all of their financial obligations are met, they will tithe to God out of the remaining money. That may be common practice, but it is not what the Bible teaches.
...that you shall take some of the first of all the produce of the ground, which you shall bring from your landthat the Lord your God is giving you, and put it in a basket and go to the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His Name abide.(v5) And you shall answer and say before the Lord your God... (v10) And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which you, O Lord, have given me. Then you shall set it before the Lord your God, and worship before the Lord your God. (v12) When you have finished laying aside all the Tithe of your Increase...
Deuteronomy 26:2,5,10,12
The process of bringing the FIRSTFRUITS to God (before paying your bills) is called "TITHING". God's Word says you should Tithe First, before you do anything else with your fruit (income)!
You may say, "But brother Caly, I I Tithe first, I won't have enough to pay my Bills."
Think how full of unbelief that statment is. If you believe that, you are not believing the Tithe will open the windows of heaven to you.
You see, TITHING establishes a new relationship between you and God. It brings you before the open windows of heaven. Literally, this means the treasure house of God is now open to you. If you put God first, as He says to do, surely He will Bless You!
Please be wise enough to see that if you Tithe and make Offerings after all the Bills are paid, you are leaving yourself at the mercy of your Bills. (Maybe that's what has been your problem this far - However you can correct it now!)
With this action, your tithe and offerings are subject to and under the control of your bills.
If you Tithe First, and give a generous Offering, then your Bills come under the Control of your Tithe and Offerings.
Many are struggling to pay their bills because they not doing what God tells them to do! It's not God's fault, but their Ignorance, and many times deception by the enemy.
Malachi 3:10-11 Speaks of open windows for Tithing and uninterrupted Harvest for your Offerings. As long as you have Bills, ALWAYS keep them in their proper place behind the TITHE. Put God's Business first and foremost, and He will put your Business First!
I PRAY, THIS TEACHING HAS ENLIGHTENED YOU AND MINISTERED FAITH TO YOUR HEART, AND AS YOU ACT ON THIS KNOWLEDGE, THE STRESS YOU'VE BEEN UNDER FROM YOUR BILLS, WILL BE REMOVED AND A RENEWED PEACE JOY AND VICTORY WILL COME INTO YOUR HEART.
Remember: God must come absolutely first in your finances, for God to Move on your behalf.
I KNOW THAT A NEW DAY IS DAWNING ON YOUR FINANCES FROM THIS DAY FORTH, IF YOU'LL ACT THIS THE ABOVE REVELATION KNOWLEDGE! Amen.
Please use the Comments Box bellow to ask any questions or comment on how this teaching has helped you, and bless you! I look forward to hear from you ...

The process of bringing the FIRSTFRUITS to God (before paying your bills) is called "TITHING". God's Word says you should Tithe First, before you do anything else with your fruit (income)!
You may say, "But brother Caly, I I Tithe first, I won't have enough to pay my Bills."
Think how full of unbelief that statment is. If you believe that, you are not believing the Tithe will open the windows of heaven to you.
You see, TITHING establishes a new relationship between you and God. It brings you before the open windows of heaven. Literally, this means the treasure house of God is now open to you. If you put God first, as He says to do, surely He will Bless You!
Please be wise enough to see that if you Tithe and make Offerings after all the Bills are paid, you are leaving yourself at the mercy of your Bills. (Maybe that's what has been your problem this far - However you can correct it now!)
With this action, your tithe and offerings are subject to and under the control of your bills.
If you Tithe First, and give a generous Offering, then your Bills come under the Control of your Tithe and Offerings.
Many are struggling to pay their bills because they not doing what God tells them to do! It's not God's fault, but their Ignorance, and many times deception by the enemy.
Malachi 3:10-11 Speaks of open windows for Tithing and uninterrupted Harvest for your Offerings. As long as you have Bills, ALWAYS keep them in their proper place behind the TITHE. Put God's Business first and foremost, and He will put your Business First!
I PRAY, THIS TEACHING HAS ENLIGHTENED YOU AND MINISTERED FAITH TO YOUR HEART, AND AS YOU ACT ON THIS KNOWLEDGE, THE STRESS YOU'VE BEEN UNDER FROM YOUR BILLS, WILL BE REMOVED AND A RENEWED PEACE JOY AND VICTORY WILL COME INTO YOUR HEART.
Remember: God must come absolutely first in your finances, for God to Move on your behalf.
I KNOW THAT A NEW DAY IS DAWNING ON YOUR FINANCES FROM THIS DAY FORTH, IF YOU'LL ACT THIS THE ABOVE REVELATION KNOWLEDGE! Amen.
Please use the Comments Box bellow to ask any questions or comment on how this teaching has helped you, and bless you! I look forward to hear from you ...

Giving Brings Abundance.
You believed God for Salvation - and got it.
You believed God for Your Healing - and got it.
You believed God when you asked for the Holy Spirit - and got Him.
Now, surely, you can believe God in Gift-Giving.
When you do, I believe you will see something similar to the time of Moses when the giving was so generous that Moses actually commanded: ... Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
For the stuff they had was Sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much. (Exodus 36:6-7)
Every Mission Outreach could have more than enough.
Every Christian TV Program could have more than enough.
Every Church could have more than enough to build buildings and furnish them with the best equipment available.
Every Community in the world, could have a great Church, with powerful Christian Programs for the communities.
Every family, could have their children educated in the things of the Lord.
Every person in the world, could hear the Message of Salvation and experience His Presence, no matter where they are.
What a Miracle that would be!
But for it to happen, we who are being enlightened to the principles of Biblical Economics must press into dimensions of Giving and Receiving that will release such a floodtide of abundance into the Gospel Ministry that Satan's lie of insufficiency will be rendered powerless. As our brethren lay hold upon this truth in mass numbers, they can eliminate hunger, want, and insufficiency from our Planet.
Our giving can Usher in a New Day of Plenty in a new Kingdom of God here on earth.
All of Israel was involved in Giving.
That's why Moses had to command the people to STOP.
There simply was too much. Call us Dreamers, if you must, but the truth of God in Regard to Abundance Will Come To Pass!!!
The Reapers Will Overtake the Sowers.
My Prayer is that you'll catch the Spirit of Giving and Experience Supernatural Abundance in your life, so you can become a Finacier for This Last Day Harvest of Souls - Giving so much, into the Kingdom of God, that we'll eventually have to say - STOP, WE ALREADY HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH!!!
Pray and see what God would have you Start doing, concerning this Ministry, and I dare you to tset God, in your Tithing to see, if He will not do, what He said He would!!!
Your Biggest Blessing is awaiting you, in the other side of your Obedience in this area of Financial Giving to the Gospel.
THANKS FOR YOUR OBEDIENCE OF FAITH!

Well, let this special scripture be your guide as you undertake this life-transforming experience.
Isaiah 8:20
You going to transform your mind from traditional thoughts to God's thoughts about Prosperity and Finances.
You may question some of the challenging principles through the weeks ahead, because they will seem so different from your present beliefs that you may ask whether they are in the Bible.
Well, let this special scripture be your guide as you undertake this life-transforming experience.
Isaiah 8:20
To the law and the testimony; If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Please don't reject the principles, I'm going to share you you, because they may not agree with what you have learned over the years. Freely question the new thoughts I submit to you, over the course of the coming weeks, See if they agree with the Word of God in the Bible - If they do, accept them and put them into practice.
I promise that I will not give you any principle without supporting it with Scripture.
If you going to have a Life-Changing experience. you must Participate in The Process!
READ, QUESTION, AND RESEARCH - Then Change.
Always remember that, it is common for God's precepts and conclusions to be different from our own. God tells us of this probability!
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; Line upon line, line upon line; Here a little, and there a little.
Also keep this fact in mind. There is a Biblical way to transform your mind.
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; Line upon line, line upon line; Here a little, and there a little.
Isaiah 28:10
Your mind has certain unscriptural concepts programmed into it. They have been reinforced daily and virtually unchallenged for many years.
This false information probably came from well-meaning people.
Some of it may have come from your parents, teachers, priests and pastors.
Some may have even come from music you enjoy.
Those thoughts were put into your mind precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little, there a little. Therefore, you must remove them the same way. That is why God led me to write this book lesson upon lesson.
It's the best way to lead you into a breakthrough.
Please realize that everything you experience can plant concepts and ideas in your mind. Some are scriptural and some are not.
Once a concept becomes part of your thinking process, it will always bring you to the same, predetermined conclusion.
You may have already reached a conclusion. You may have already reached a conclusion that Christians should be poor. If you do not allow the Scripture and the Holy Spirit to renew your mind, you will always come to that same non-scriptural conclusion.
Rememeber, as you read these lessons, it is not enough just to put new information into your mind. You must also get the old, non-scriptural information out of your mind. By feeding your mind the Word of God, you will be planting scriptural concepts. Begin now to allow God to break through your traditional ideas. Be willing to allow His plan for your divine prosperity to crowd out the Devil's plan for your continual insufficiency.
As you meditate on the truths Im about to share with you over the coming weeks, and act on them, you'll find that you will always have more than enough so you can be a blessing to others.

2 Corinthians 9:6,7,11 TBL
But remember this - if you give little, you will get little. A farmer who plants just a few seeds will get only a small crops, but if he plants much, he will reap much.
Every one must make up his own mind as to how much he should give. Don't force anyone to give more than he really wants to, for cheerful givers are the ones God prizes ...
Yes, God will give you much so that you can give away much ...

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ENEMIES! Part1
Jesus Always had Enemies!
Scriptures reveal this in His own words.
Jesus Recognized His Enemies. "Why go ye about to kill Me?" John 7:19.
Any Uncommon Achiever must Recognize and Adversary.
The Common resent The Uncommon.
The Impure despise The Pure.
The Lazy despise The Diligent.
THREE THINGS JESUS REVEALED ABOUT ENEMIES.
1. Jesus Expected His Disciples to Stir Up Enemies.
* "And ye shall be hated of all men for My Name's sake". Mathew 10:24-25
2. Jesus Instructed His Disciples To Anticipate Enemies.
* "Behold, I send you forth as a sheep in the midst of wolves; Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves". Mathew 10:16
3. Jesus Warns His Disciples Ahead of Time That Men Would Become Their Enemies.
* "But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And you shall be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles" Mathew 10:17-18
JESUS DID NOT MERELY WARN THEM OF THE DEVIL.

How Would You Define Success?
Success is Movement .... Progress .... toward a God Inspired Goal.
You were created to PRODUCE.
You were Created to Multiply, Replenish, Rule, and Increase Yourself.
The Pastor strives to increase the membership of his church.
The Evangelist struggles to get more souls saved.
The husband works hard to buy a larger home for his family.
A productive person is usually a Happy person, fulfilled and self - confident.
Depression is often created by IDLENESS.
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might." (Ecclesiastes 9:10)
"By much slothfulness the building decays; and through idleness of hands the house drops through." (Ecclesiastes 10:18)
People who feel Great About Themselves Produce Great Results.
SUCCESS IS AWAITING YOU - DON'T SIT AROUND WAITING FOR IT;YOU MUST PURSUE IT!

FINDING YOUR LIFE PURPOSE.
FINDING YOUR LIFE PURPOSE.
You've heard the saying: "Most people are born an Original, and die as a carbon copy of someone else."
YOU WERE CREATED FOR A PURPOSE.
There is a perfect plan for your life.
No matter what crisis you face today, never forget God created you for a specific PURPOSE ... a SPECIFIC ASSIGNMENT.
* He Loves You.
* He planned You.
* He scheduled Your birth.
* He is forever LINKED to You.
In fact, God loves you so much that He sent His Son, JESUS, to help you though this time of Crisis.
Jesus is a friend who will NEVER leave you.
He will stick with you closer than a blood brother. ".... For he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5)
Jesus wants to help you fulfill ALL the dreams God created you to accomplish on this earth. All you have to do is ASK Him. " .... Ask, and you shall receive, that your Joy may be full". (John 16:24)
YOUR PURPOSE IS NOT YOUR DECISION BUT YOUR DISCOVERY.
SO, DOES GOD EXIST - The world is arranged ... therefore, and Arranger must exist!
So, let's not toil over the Focus of Fools - "Does God exist?" RATHER:
> Why did He Make You?
> What is His Purpose in Your Life?
> What does He want You to Do?
> What does He want You to Know?
> What does He want You to Be?
You see, someday it will hit you like a bolt of lightning - Your Creator is a PLANNER. ... Incredibly Organized .... Meticulous with details .... and, like any successful manufacturer, He is totally committed to the success of His product ....YOU!
WHY DID HE CREATE YOU?
1. You were created to be an instrument of pleasure to God. (Revelation 4:11)
You Affect God!
You have the power to pleasure Him. Or Displeasure Him. The Bible teaches us how to have a Relationship with Him. "...You have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created." (Revelation 4:11)
The Bible is His personal profile ... His personal likes and dislikes ... His dreams and expectations.
> He is touched with the feelings of our infirmities AND :Was in all points tempted like ... we are, yet without sin. (Hebrews 4:15).
> He enjoys people. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes ( places their full trust in Him), should not perish, but have everlasting life". (John 3:16)
> He Craves to be Understood. "... Let him that glorifies glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord which exercises lovingkindness, judgement, and righteousness ... for in these things I delight, says the Lord. (Jeremiah 9:24)
> Prayer pleasures Him. "If my people ... shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; Then will I ... forgive their sin, and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)
> Healing pleasures Him. "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power; Who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the Devil (Sickness is demonic oppression); for Gos was with Him. (Acts 10:38)
" Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases". (Psalm 103:3)
"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree ... by whose strips you were healed". (1 Peter 2:24)
> Evangelization pleasures Him. "And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15)
> Praise pleasures Him. "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. (Psalm 100:4)
"Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" (Psalm 107:15)
WANT TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS ALL GLORIOUS, POWERFUL AND YET, KIND AND LOVING GOD? You can by simply praying this simple Prayer.
SAY: Dear Father in Heaven.
I come to you, as my creator, and God.
I believe with all of my heart that you Love me, and care for me affectionately.
I believe that you sent your Son JESUS, to that cross, for my Sin.
I believe that He died for me; So that I might live, and have Eternal Life.
Dear Lord Jesus, come into my heart and save me - I receive you, as my personal Lord and Savior. Wash me in your Blood. I make you my Lord and Savior.
AMEN.
If you've prayed this prayer meaningfully, I would love to hear from you, and connect you with some info, to help you in your walk in this NEW FOUND FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.
