What's going on welcome to white lion TV, this is Kevin White Lion Unk, I want to talk about money
Okay from the Scriptures the Bible says that the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil, right?
the love of money not money the love of
Money when money becomes an idol and you lust after it in your lie
And steal to get it or it's more important than people or your relationship with God then it is a sin
Jesus said do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal but store
Up in heaven where they do not come in and break in and steal and moth and rust
Do not destroy. He said store your riches in heaven
Not on earth and he said for where your heart is .Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also
So the bottom line is this money is not bad money is not good it is the intent and the motive of your heart
Okay money reveals
What is in you money is a tool if you're dead to the love of money and God can give you millions of dollars
through wisdom and however
He does it you can use that money to plant churches to preach Crusades to get souls saved and to help people
To establish the kingdom on earth we need money money is an absolute necessity
okay, so
Mindset has a lot to do with money because if you hate money
You'll never have money if you believe all rich people are dirtbags and they're horrible people
You're never gonna have money because your mindset is jacked up
Okay also, but money cannot be a God because money has power when you have money
Say you have a couple million dollars, right?
It takes more character to have money and to be a good steward of that money
Than it does to just work a normal job and just get by
You understand because some people if God was to drop a million dollars on them
Their faithfulness and their commitment to Christ would go out the window and it's just reality
So God
Desires our salvation more than anything but in these last days God is raising up a group of people that are going to make millions
and billions of dollars and they're going to be dead to the
Of money and it's not going to be an idol to them and the power of money will have no rule and reign over them
And they will they will use the money to fund the gospel
They will use the money to reach people all over the planet. Jesus said the gospel will be preached all over the world
These are the days that we're living in we're in the last of the last days right here and right now so money is important
Now your mind said I was I personally grew up in a trailer park on food stamps and a beat-up bad
neighborhood drug addict and everything else neighborhood
So my beliefs around money were jacked up. I had to renew my mind
The Bible says be transformed by the renewing of your mind
Okay money is a tool the Bible says this if you do not provide for yourself and especially for those of your household
You are worse than an unbeliever, and you have denied the faith
so if you're a man who claims to be a man of God and you do not provide for yourself and for the members of
Your household, especially more so you have denied the faith and you're worse than an unbeliever
So as a man, your job is to provide
Now money is a necessity you need food. You need clothing you need water
You need a place to live depending on the country you live
You know
It's economy and each culture is different
But money is a necessity
There's things that you need and if you have a family and you're a man, you need to take care of your family
Now a lot of people's lives this is gonna sound crazy but money in a sense rules and dominates a lot of people's lives
Money dictates how much time they spend with their family what they do with their time what they do with their life where they work
A lot of people work jobs they hate and they cannot stand
I want you to know something this day and age it's easier to become wealthy than it's ever been a hundred percent
You can go online at anytime and you can watch youtube videos on
multimillionaires that literally sit down and show you and tell you exactly
How they became millionaires. So what is your excuse?
First the relationship with God has to be first and foremost
You need to have a strong relationship with God because if you do not
Money will jack you up
but if your
relationship with God is first place in your life and you're strong in the Lord and in the power of his might and you have
a solid foundation in the Word
You can do a lot of damage to the kingdom of darkness by creating finances and funding the Gospel
So I just want to encourage you it's a lot to do with mindset. All rich people are not bad. They're not horrible people
They're not all thieves money does have power do not idolize it do not lust after money do not make it a god
Okay, it does say this now in the Bible
It says that many people by longing for riches have fallen away from God
So there is a power in money and if you're not sure if you're strong enough
Just don't let it become a god
Don't let it become an idol and seek God the Bible says if you seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness
All these things shall be added unto you my thing is this it is not humble to be broke
It is not humble to be lacking
it is not Christ-like to be looking for a handout to be looking for somebody to
"bless" you to be looking for somebody to pay your bills
To like throwing hints because you need things like that's not Jesus a man of God is a worker. He's a wise man
He's a provider
And I understand this we all have different gifts talents and abilities, you know, but at the end of the day money is not bad
But God has to be first
Okay. God has to be first and even when you make money, the focus should still be the Kingdom of God
It should not be the money
All the money is is a tool and don't let money change you. When you get money don't act differently and think that you're better now
Because you have money
because a lot of your insecurities and those hidden things will come to the light and the money will actually
bring it to the life. So I hope this blesses you
Jesus is alive and I pray that your relationship with God is super strong and that the Lord
Through your relationship with him in the secret place. It'll even bless you and increase your finances in the name of Jesus educate yourself
Seek to grow in knowledge and understanding and I really personally believe I
Live in America, which is a beautiful country. I personally believe that you should learn to make money
So that money does not dictate and rule and reign your life and how you spend your time. I believe in financial freedom, I believe in
Coming up and learning and growing and becoming an entrepreneur and getting free of the economic system
Which is similar to slavery, you know, nowhere as severe by any means, but it's it's just something that keeps you in bondage
you know clocking in and clocking out and not getting paid what you're worth and then a lot of your money they take out of
taxes and you never have enough to get by that's not that's not what God has called us to do
He's not called us to to be under some world system
Okay, where in the world we're not of the world we do not operate by the world standards, though
The wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just it's time
the believers will go into the secret place get to know God and
will make money and will pour it into the kingdom of God. If lost people that do not know
Jesus can make millions and billions of dollars without being born again
And without the Holy Spirit how much more should born-again Holy Ghost filled fire of God
Praying in tongues reading the Word of evangelizing soul-winning preaching Crusades disciples of Jesus Christ
Be making money with the spirit of excellence that is inside of us. So I hope this blesses you God bless you
May the Lord bless you may your relationship with Him increase and may He increase
your
Finances and give you the grace to be a good steward and may you be a good store and pour that money into the Kingdom
Of God and helping people
God bless
