Truth to Guide Our Finances

Christians can go to prison-because of financial matters (theft). They can divorce over financial matters, and can even keep themselves out of the will of God, due to their heart and actions in financial matters.

The wealthiest twenty-five pastors in America are prosperity preachers.

 

In This Episode, We Look At:

We memorize Scripture to help keep us from sinning (Psalm 119:11) and we use Scripture in spiritual battle (Ephesians 6). Jesus quoted Scripture in response to Satan's temptations.

Our enemy uses money issues in the arsenal of attacks toward us, and we need the Truth to guide us (he cannot stand against the Truth).

This week we are providing a list (abbreviated) of scriptures you can work on memorizing, to help in varying areas of money.

Improve Your Faith and Finances:

Work on memorizing one passage at a time, "hiding" God's word in your heart. It helps to walk, or pace, while you say the verse(s) out loud; your brain more effectively stores that memory when your body is in action.
