God and Finances

Words are the most powerful things in the universe today; they can defeat you or they can bring you life. God created the universe by speaking it into existence and He has given you that same ability.

YOUR MOUTH, YOUR DECLARATIONS HELP YOU RECEIVE YOUR INHERITANCE FROM THE LORD

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success” (Joshua 1:8).

DECLARATION CAN LITERALLY HAVE POWER FOR LIFE OR DEATH

From the fruit of the mouth one’s stomach is satisfied; the yield of the lips brings satisfaction. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” (Proverbs 18:20-21 NRSV).

Our tongue has power to release God’s life wherever we are. Whether conscious declaration of His Word of truth, or through words issuing forth as expressions of your hearts, as God’s children, we have the capacity to “speak” life! Even our actions have the power to combine with our words in speaking His life!

Psalm 40:3: “He has put a new song in my mouth; praise to our God, many will see it and fear and trust the Lord.”Many will SEE our praise and fear and trust the Lord. Our mouth reflects our heart. Therefore, our mouth brings life to those around us!

GOD WANTS TO BE INVOLVED IN YOUR FINANCES

Genesis 13:2 - Now Abram was extremely rich in livestock and in silver and in gold.

Genesis 12:1-4 - Now [in Haran] the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.

2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].

3 And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and [a]curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves].

4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had directed him; and Lot [his nephew] went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.

Genesis 12:7 - Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, I will give this land to your posterity. So Abram built an altar there to the Lord, Who had appeared to him.

Genesis 13:5-9- But Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.

6 Now the land was not able to nourish and support them so they could dwell together, for their possessions were too great for them to live together.

7 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land [making fodder more difficult to obtain].

8 So Abram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, I beg of you, between you and me, or between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, for we are relatives.

9 Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself, I beg of you, from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you choose the right hand, then I will go to the left.

If YOU want God to be involved in your finances and prosper you, you must honor these basic principles. You cannot be greedy and truly prosper. There is nothing wrong with wanting to have abundance for yourself and your family, but giving to God and being generous with others is part of the spiritual law.

Proverbs 11:24-25 - There are those who [generously] scatter abroad, and yet increase more; there are those who withhold more than is fitting or what is justly due, but it results only in want.

25 The liberal person shall be enriched, and he who waters shall himself be watered.

Proverbs 3:9-10 - Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency [from righteous labors] and with the first fruits of all your income;10 So shall your storage places be filled with plenty, and your vats shall be overflowing with new wine.

Proverbs 28:27 - He who gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes [from their want] will have many a curse.

1 Kings 3:13 - I have also given you what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings equal to you all your days.

God wants your needs to be met abundantly! But in order to have true riches, the motive of your heart must be to bless others also and establish God’s Covenant.

Matthew 6:30,33 - But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will He not much more surely clothe you, O you of little faith? But seek ([a]aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness ([b]His way of doing and being right), and then all these things [c]taken together will be given you beside

3 John 2 - Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers.

Luke 6:38 - Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour [a]into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you.

Mark 11:23 - Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.

Galatians 3:13-14 - Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified);14 To the end that through [their receiving] Christ Jesus, the blessing [promised] to Abraham might come upon the Gentiles....

Psalm 35:27 - Let those who favor my righteous cause and have pleasure in my uprightness shout for joy and be glad and say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, Who takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.

Deuteronomy 8:18 - But you shall [earnestly] remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

CHANGE WHAT YOU SAY

Matthew 21:21 - And Jesus answered them, Truly I say to you, if you have faith (a [a]firm relying trust) and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it will be done.

Mark 4:20 - And those sown on the good (well-adapted) soil are the ones who hear the Word and receive and accept and welcome it and bear fruit—some thirty times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much, and some [even] a hundred times as much.

Malachi 3:10 - Bring all the tithes (the whole tenth of your income) into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and prove Me now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.Take Authority over your finances.

Luke 17:6 - And the Lord answered, If you had faith (trust and confidence in God) even [so small] like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be pulled up by the roots, and be planted in the sea, and it would obey you.

Philippians 2:9 - Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has [a]freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name,

DECLARATIONS OF FAITH

FOR DELINQUENT TAXES / MORTGAGES/ NOTES/ CREDIT CARD DEBT / PAST DUE BILLS

Gather the paperwork representing the debt and lay them out before you. Boldly declare on the authority of God’s Word:

In Jesus name and on the authority of His Holy Word, I call these debts PAID IN FULL! Debt, I speak to you in Jesus’ Name: BE PAID AND BE GONE! Dematerialize and CEASE TO EXIST! I now declare that all my debts, mortgages, and notes are PAID I FULL, CANCELLED, OR DISSOLVED!

TO COLLECT MONEY OWED TO YOU, OR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

If there are people who owe you money or clients who owe your business money, you can lose those finances to flow to you. Make a list of those people, businesses, or organizations. Place the list in front of you, lay your hands upon it, and declare:

JESUS SAID WHATEVER I LOSE ON EARTH IS LOOSED IN HEAVEN; THEREFORE, I LOSE THE FINANCES THAT ARE OWED TO ME. I CALL THIS MONEY IN SO THAT THESE ACCOUNTS ARE PAID IN FULL IN JESUS’ NAME (MATT. 18:18)

TIMELY PAYMENT OF MONTHLY BILLS

Put your bills in a stack. Lay your hands upon them, and declare aloud:

GOD SUPPLIES ALL MY NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS. GOD IS THE SOURCE OF MY SUPPLY, AND I HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO PAY MY GBION TIME. BE PAID IN FULL! (Phil. 4:19).

TO SELL PROPERTY

Make certain that the price you are asking is a fair exchange.

Proverbs 20:23 says that deceitful weights (used to measure worth) and false scales are shamefully vile to God. You can talk to your property and say to it:

LISTEN TO ME, I AM TALKING TO YOU. JESUS SAID YOU WOULD OBEY ME. YOU ARE GOING TO BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE AND I CALL YOU SOLD IN JESUS’ NAME!TO BUY PROPERTYI CALL THOSE THINGS THAT BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE. I NOW CALL THE PROPERTY THAT FITS MY NEEDS AND DESIRE AND WILL BE A BLESSING TO ME; I CALL YOU TO ME NOW IN JESUS’ NAME! I DECLARE THAT GOD’S HIGHEST AND BEST IS DONE IN THIS MATTER AND THE ANGELS ARE NOW WORKING ON MY BEHALF (Rom. 4:17)

TO REMOVE HINDRANCES

GOD, YOUR WORD SAYS THAT WHATEVER I BIND ON EARTH IS BOUND IN HEAVEN AND WHATEVER I LOSE ON EARTH IS LOOSED IN HEAVEN. THEREFORE, ON THE AUTHORITY OF YOUR WORD, I BIND EVERY FORCE THAT HAS SET ITSELF AGAINST MY FINANCIAL PROSPERITY! I HEREBY DECLARE ALL CURSES AGAINST ME NULL, VOID, AND HARMLESS! I AM REDEEMED FROM THE CURSE OF POWERTY! I AM FREE FROM OPRESSION! I NOW LOOSE THE ABUNDANCE OF GOD, AND ALL THAT RIGHTFULLY BELONGS TO ME NOW COMES TO ME UNDER GRACE IN A PERFECT WAY.CALLING THINGS THAT ARE NOT

TO INCREASE YOUR PAYCHECK

As an employee, you act in faith by performing your job with the highest integrity and diligence. Function as if you are a highly paid employee. If possible, tithe in faith in advance for your raise or promotion. Hold your paycheck or stub in your hand and say:

HEAVENLY FATHER, I CALL FOR A RAISE AS I HONOR YOU WITH THE FIRSTFRUITS OF MY INCREASE. I GIVE THANKS FOR THIS JOB AND BLESS MY EMPLOYER. I NOW DECLARE THAT THIS CHECK IS MULTIPLIEDD AND INCREASED. I AM NOW RICHLY REWARDED FOR MY WORK, BOTH CREATIVELY AND FINANCIALLY. (Prov. 3:9-10.)

TO INCREASE YOUR INVESTMENTS AND BANK ACCOUNTS

Make a list of your investments and bank accounts or use bank statements. Place them in front of you and proclaim:

I CALL ABUNDANCE AS I HONOR THE LORD WITH MY CAPITAL AND SUFFICENCY. MY STORAGE PLACES (INVESTMENTS AND BANK ACCOUNTS) ARE FILLED WITH PLENTY, AND MY PRESSES BURST FORTH WITH NEW WINE. I AM ABUNDANTLY SUPPLIED. (Prov. 3:9-10.)

FOR EMPLOYEMENT

I NOW DISSOLVE AND PUT ASIDE ALL NEGATIVE, LIMITING BELIEVES ABOUT WHERE I WILL WORK AND WHAT KIND OF JOB IS AVAILABLE TO ME. I OPEN MYSELF TO ALL OF GOD’S POSSIBILITIES. I CALL FOR A PERFECT, SATISFYING, WELL-PAYING JOB TO MANIFEST IN MY LIFE. I AM ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME, FOR THE SPIRIT OF GOD DIRECTS MY PATHS. Prov. 16:9; Rom 5:17.)

WATCH YOUR WORDS

It is vital that you speak only about the end result and what you desire. Do not counteract the declarations that you have spoken in faith. Manifestations may not come immediately. Hold fast to your confession. You can fill your heart and mouth with faith by voicing scriptural confessions daily.

Hebrews 10:23 - So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the [a]hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word.

Romans 10:8 - But what does it say? The Word (God’s message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart; that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we preach,

MAKE THESE CONFESSIONS DAILY UNTIL FAITH COMES I AM FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’S WILL IN ALL WISDOM AND SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING. HIS WILL IS MY PROSPERITY.

Colossians 1:9 - For this reason we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make [[a]special] request for you, [asking] that you may be filled with the [b]full (deep and clear) knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [[c]in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things—

GOD DELIGHTS IN MY PROSPERITY. HE GIVES ME POWER TO GET WEALTH, THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH HIS COVENANT UPON THE EARTH.

Deuteronomy 11:12 - A land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Psalm 37:23 - The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step].

GOD HAS GIVEN ME ALL THE THINGS THAT PERTAIN TO LIFE AND GODLINESS, AND I AM WELL ABLE TO POSSES ALL THAT GOD HAS PROVIDED FOR ME

Numbers 13:30 - Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once and possess it; we are well able to conquer it.

2 Peter 1:3-4 - For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [[a]full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).4 By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature.

GOD IS THE UNFAILING, UNLIMITED SOURCE OF MY SUPPLY. MY FINANCIAL INCOME NOW INCREASES AS THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD OVERTAKE ME

Deuteronomy 28:2 - And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God.

I AM LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY RIVERS OF WATER, I BRING FORTH FRUIT IN MY SEASON, MY LEAF SHALL NOT WITHER, AND WHATEVER I DO WILL PROSPER. THE GRACE OF GOD EVEN MAKES MY MISTAKES TO PROSPER.

5 Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading trough.

7 The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

10 And all people of the earth shall see that you are called by the name [and in the presence of] the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.

11 And the Lord shall make you have a surplus of prosperity, through the fruit of your body, of your livestock, and of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.

12 The Lord shall open to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.

13 And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them.

14 And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

THE BLESSING OF THE LORD MAKES TRUY RICH, AND HE ADDS NO SORROW WITH IT.

Proverbs 10:22 - The blessing of the Lord—it makes [truly] rich, and He adds no sorrow with it [neither does toiling increase it].

Malachi 3:10-11 - Bring all the tithes (the whole tenth of your income) into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and prove Me now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.11 And I will rebuke the devourer [insects and plagues] for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, neither shall your vine drop its fruit before the time in the field, says the Lord of hosts.

Isaiah 54:17 - But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord.

MY MIND IS RENEWED BY THE WORD OF GOD; THEREFORE, I FORBID THOUGHTS OF FAILURE AND DEFEAT TO INHABIT MY MIND.

Ephesians 4:23 - And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude],
