It's ALL You Need!

When I tell you, "The Bible is all you need," I do not exaggerate, not one single iota. I have tried it myself. I have proven God through His Word over and over and He has never failed in one of His promises. You don't have to take my word for it. Try it yourself. Put yourself in God's hands and turn away from the god of mammon. Don't allow money and money stress and money lacks and money troubles to control your life! Turn all your stress into heart-cries to Jesus. He is more than able to calm your fears and cement your relationship with Him in the process. I tell you this from my own experience. God never fails!

If you think you don't have much of a relationship with God at the moment, maybe that's because you focus too much on money. There is a god of money. Money is one thing you absolutely cannot live without. That's why the devil thinks he is all-powerful. He wants you to believe you cannot live without money, so that means you are his prisoner. These are all lies that the enemy will use on you over and over. It's all about the money.

"Follow the money." That's a line you hear often enough. When people say it, they seem to say it with disdain, as if they are not prisoners of money, as if they don't 'follow the money'.

You see, the very first thing that the devil wants to use money to make you do is to compromise! Compromise your beliefs. Compromise your faith. Compromise your life. Compromise your decisions. Then, you'll be rich.

"After all," the devil will tell you, "you need money to pay your rent and buy food. What about your children? Don't you want them to have a good education and be healthy? You must have m-o-n-e-y. It's paramount."

But, God tells us in His Word to trust Him to provide all of our needs. He says, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you."

Matthew 6 says:
25. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26. Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27. Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28. And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29. And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30. Wherefore if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31. Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32. (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
