Wealth Concepts- part I

I spend the majority of my time with fellow Christians, so I have a lot of hours logged listening to the thoughts and attitudes of other believers. It never ceases to amaze me that in spite of all the bible has to say about money and finances, that so many good christians find themselves plagued with a poverty mentality, as if being without means somehow makes you more righteous! This is a lie of the enemy. I have decided to commit the next several months to unpacking the fact that the abundance mindset is far more scripturally accurate than the poverty complex. My hope is that this series will set some of you free and liberate others to pursue their God given callings!

As we begin this journey, I want to give reference to my texts for this study. My primary text will be the bible. As christians, we can not be ignorant to the Word.

The next text will be Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Think and Grow Rich is as foundational a book on financial gain as you can find, originally written in the years following the great depression. It is also possesses a longstanding reputation for being “New Age”, a phrase which evokes fear in the hearts of christians all over the world. I will make the argument over this series that Napoleon Hill unwittingly stubbled upon biblical truths, and these truths are the foundation for the successful application of his principles.

The last primary text will be Intercessory Prayer by Dutch Sheets. This book needs to be in the permanent library of everyone who wishes to understand the power of God in your life! Just looking at the titles, you would never think that these three books would have so much in common, but my sincere hope is that by the end of this series each of you will be enlightened to a fantastic truth!

I am looking forward to this journey!
