Practical Guide to Christian Financial Freedom
Author: Ulrica R.Richmond
Have you noticed that more and more people are talking about what it means to achieve financial freedom in their lives. That they would like to buy their dream cars and homes, they want to spend more quality time with their children and live more fulfilled lives. Every person who is trying to sell you something speaks about your financial freedom. Do you really need it? Is it really so important to us to be financially free? What does it mean for you to be financially free? Is it the Will of God? And if it is the Will of God for us then why does it seem so hard for us to be financially free? Many Christians are broke…and just barely making it while going deeper in debt every single month. We struggle and think about money constantly. We pray, we plead, we stand on the Scriptures. We give constantly believing for a return on our giving. But we never seem to get ahead. Instead of it we feel like we are moving backward.
So how do we get out of it? It is simple really. In fact once you truly discover this, you will be well on your way to achieving more with your life than you ever thought was possible.
For Terry and Julie Dean it all changed the day they received a simple revelation from the Scripture: James 1:5, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, … and it shall be given him.” Standing on that scripture, they decided to quit praying for money and start praying for wisdom instead. The truth is that wisdom brings wealth with it (II Chronicles 1:12, Proverbs 4:7-8, Proverbs 8:11, Proverbs 24:3-4). From that day forward they quit praying for money.
The problem up until that point was that they had constantly prayed for financial miracle and they were focussed on their lack of money. There were times they had received a small financial blessing here and there, but they never got out of the problem. The problem was always there and continually got worse.
They started praying for wisdom, and they didn not have problems with money any more. Step-by-step the Lord led them with wisdom…how to get out of debt, how to increase their income, and how to start their very profitable businesses. From that day forward they were able to pay their bills. The debts started shrinking. They could take care of their children. And they were able to give more to others. Since that day they have more than enough money to buy whatever they want. Their investment accounts were continually growing. Even their mortgage was completely paid off.
Thus the answer is simple, you always get what you are focussed on. If you focus on lack of money, the the lack of money is going to increase in your life, if you focus on Wisdom, you get more Wisdom than you ever expected. When you pray do not create a vivid picture of the problem – use your creative faith imagination to create solutions not problems. God does not need your description of the problem he understands it better than you do! Pray in words and images that are positive and faith building.
It feels wonderful to be free from debt…to be able to serve God not just believing, but knowing all your bills are already paid. Free to serve the Lord…Give to those in need…and Live the life God has truly intended us to have.
Terry and Julie put together a complete home study course “Practical Guide To Christian Financial Freedom” that covers everything you need to know about the Step-By-Step Plan of God for You to Become Totally Debt Free Including Your Mortgage. How to renew your mind to see money, tithing, and giving from the viewpoint of God. They stress that many people pray for financial miracles instead of wisdom. The goal of this course is to teach you the truth about finances, to show you God’s desire to see you blessed, living debt free and having more than enough money.
