10 Biblical Laws to Break the Poverty Curse Forever · Bible Ascent

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Right now, at this very moment, seventy three percent of
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Americans are one emergency away from financial disaster. Not in
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a developing country, not in some distant place, right here
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: in the nation with the most millionaires and billionaires on earth.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: But what absolutely breaks my heart is this. Thousands of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: these people are sitting in church this Sunday. They know
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: every worship song, they serve on committees, they give what
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: little they have. They pray with tears streaming down their faces,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: begging God for a breakthrough. Yet Monday morning they wake
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: up to the same empty bank account, the same past
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: due notices, the same suffocating anxiety about how they will
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: make it through another month. So let me ask you
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a question that might make you uncomfortable. What if poverty
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: is not a punishment? What if it is not God
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: withholding blessing from you. What if you are unknowingly violating
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: spiritual laws that are just as real and unchangeable as gravity.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: When you jump off a building, you fall not because
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: God is mad at you, because you broke a law,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and the same principle governs money, wealth, and provision. Before
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: we go one second further, I need you to do
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: something right now that could change everything, hit that subscribe
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: button and smash that notification bell because what I am
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: about to share in the next fourteen minutes is not theory.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: This is not motivational fluff. These are ten immutable laws.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: And here is my promise to you. If you apply
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: these with consistency and faith, prosperity does not become possible.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: It becomes inevitable, not maybe not hopefully inevitable. And stay
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: with me because law number seven is going to blow
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: your mind. Ninety percent of self made Jewish millionaires practice
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: this religiously. It is in their DNA. It has been
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: passed down for generations. Yet I have attended church for
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: thirty years and heard it preached maybe twice that one
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: law alone could be the missing piece that transforms your
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: entire financial future. So do not skip ahead, do not
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: leave early. Every single word matters. Let me destroy a myth.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Right now, most people think tithing is about giving ten
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: percent of what is left after you handle your business.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: That is not the law of first fruits. That is leftovers.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: And God does not want your leftovers. He wants your
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: first and your best. Look at the story of Cain
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and Abel. Both brought offerings, but Abel brought the first
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: born of his flock, the best he had. Cain brought
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: some of his harvest, whatever was convenient. One offering was accepted,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the other was rejected. The difference was not the amount,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it was priority. Here is how this works practically and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: why it re rights your financial destiny. Before you pay
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the mortgage, before you buy groceries, before Netflix, before the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: car payment, before anything, you set aside what belongs to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: God first. And I know what you are thinking, but
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I barely have enough to survive now. If I give first,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I will not make it. That is exactly the scarcity
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: mindset that keeps you trapped. When you put God first financially,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you are making a declaration. You are saying, my provision
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: comes from Him, not from my paycheck, not from my boss,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: not from my side, hustle from God. Set up a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: separate account right now, the moment your paycheck deposits, automate
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a transfer to your giving account before you can even
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: think about it. Watch what happens over the next ninety days.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: This single act breaks the poverty curse at its root.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Because you are no longer operating from lack, You are
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: operating from overflow. You are declaring that you have more
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: than enough, that there is abundance, and that mindset shift
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: changes everything. Do you remember Joseph in Egypt, Pharaoh had
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a dream seven fat cows, seven skinny cows. Joseph interpreted
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it seven years of abundance, seven years of famine. But
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: here is what makes Joseph a genius. During the good years,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: he did not throw parties, he did not upgrade chariots,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: He built storehouses. He saved twenty percent of everything. And
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: when the famine hit, Joseph did not panic, he did
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: not beg he did not suffer. He had prepared for opportunity.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Here is what most believers completely miss. God will not
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: pour his blessing into a container full of holes. If
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you spend every dollar that comes in, you have no
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: capacity for blessing. You need a storehouse. In modern terms,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that is a savings account, that is investments. That is
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: creating a vessel where God can pour abundance and it
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: actually accumulates instead of draining away the moment it arrives.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Start with one hundred dollars. I do not care if
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you have to sell something. If you cannot save one
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars, you do not have an income problem. You
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: have a spending problem, build it to one thousand, then
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: one month of expenses, then three months, then six months.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: This is not hoarding, This is not fear. This is stewardship.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: This is wisdom. This is creating capacity for God to work.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And when opportunity comes, and it will, you will have
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: resources to seize it instead of watching it pass you by.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Proverbs twelve twenty four says the hand of the diligent
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: will rule, but the slothful will be put to forced labor.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Notice it does not say the hand of the lucky.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: It does not say the hand of the person with
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the right connections. Says diligent, excellence, consistency, hard work. Here
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: is a truth that will offend some people. Miracles usually
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: show up disguised as difficult work done with excellence. I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: have met so many believers who are sitting around waiting
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: for God to supernaturally drop money from heaven, while they
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: show up late to work, do the bare minimum, refuse
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to learn new skills, and complain about their boss. That
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: is not faith. That is laziness wrapped in spiritual language.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: God honors diligence, He rewards excellence. He multiplies the efforts
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of people who work as unto him, not unto men.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you about Marcus. He worked at a warehouse,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: making fourteen dollars an hour, barely scraping by. But instead
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of complaining, he started showing up thirty minutes early every day.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: He learned every position, He solved problems before they were assigned.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Within six months, he was promoted to supervisor. Within two
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: years operations manager. Today he makes six figures, same company,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: same building, different mindset. That is the law of diligence
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: in action. God will not bless mediocrity just because you pray,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: but he will multiply excellence beyond what you can imagine.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: The parable of the talents is one of the most
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: misunderstood teachings in Scripture. A master gave talents to three
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: servants five talents, two talents, one talent. When he returned,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the first two had doubled what they received. The last
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: one buried his in the ground, and the master called
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: him wicked and lazy, not because he lost money, because
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: he did nothing with what was entrusted to him. Here
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: is the principle that will change your life. God will
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: not give you more until you prove faithful with what
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: you already have. If you cannot manage which one hundred
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: dollars without blowing it on impulse purchases, why would he
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: trust you with one hundred thousand. If you cannot handle
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: one thousand, why would he give you one million. Stewardship
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: is the gatekeeper to increase. This is where budgeting becomes
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a spiritual discipline. Track every single expense for thirty days,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: every coffee, every streaming subscription, every impulse Amazon purchase. You
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: will be shocked. Most people have no idea where their
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: money goes. Then they wonder why they never have enough.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Every dollar is a talent. Every dollar is a test.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: What are you doing with it? Are you being a
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: faithful steward or are you burying it in consumption and waste.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: This paradigm shift changed everything for me. Money is seed,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: not food. Poor people eat their seed, Wealthy people plant theirs.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: When money comes into your hands, your first instinct is
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: probably to spend it something, treat yourself, reward yourself. That
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: is the consumption mindset, the poverty mindset. The wealth mindset
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: asks a completely different question, How can I multiply this?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Every dollar is a seed that contains a harvest. When
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you invest, you are planting seeds. When you start a business,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: you are planting seeds. When you buy a course that
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: teaches you a valuable skill, you are planting seeds. But
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: most people eat everything that comes in. Then they stand
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: in an empty field wondering why there is no harvest.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: You cannot reap what you did not sow. Start treating
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: money differently today. Before you spend anything, ask yourself, is
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: this consumption or investment? Am I eating this seed or
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: planting it for a future harvest. This does not mean
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you never enjoy anything. It means you are intentional. It
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: means you make sure you are always planting more than
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: you are consuming. Otherwise you will stay stuck in the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: cycle forever. When God appeared to Solomon in a dream
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and said, ask for anything you want, Solomon could have
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: asked for riches. He could have asked for victory over
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: his enemies. He could have asked for a long life.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: But he did not. He asked for wisdom, and because
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: he prioritized wisdom over wealth, he received both. He became
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the wealthiest king in history. This is a fundamental kingdom principle.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Wisdom is more valuable than gold because wisdom produces gold.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: The absolute best investment you will ever make is not
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: in real estate, not in stocks, not in cryptocurrency. It
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: is in your own mind, your skills, your knowledge. A
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: two hundred dollar course that teaches you a valuable skill
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: has infinite return on investment. A twenty dollars book that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: shifts your mindset could be worth millions over your lifetime.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: A mentor who guides you and helps you avoid mistakes
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: could save you decades of pain and failure. Stop spending
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: all your money on things that depreciate. Cars, depreciate clothes, depreciate,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: electronics depreciate. Start investing in things that appreciate. Your mind,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: depreciates your skills, appreciate your network, appreciates. Make learning a
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: line item in your budget. Make skill development non negotiable.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: The return will astound you. Now we come to law
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: number seven, the one I told you about, the one
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: that Jewish families have practiced for generations, and it has
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: kept them financially ahead. Proverbs twenty two seven says the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: borrower is servant to the lender. Let those words sink
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: all the way into your spirit. When you are in debt,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you are not free. You are a servant. You work
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: for your creditors. Not for God. You cannot fulfill your
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: kingdom assignment when you are enslaved to Visa and master card.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Here is what Jewish families teach their children from the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: time they can count. Debt is a curse, not a tool,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: not a strategy, a curse. They avoid consumer debt like poison.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: They save up and pay cash. They live below their means,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: they drive older cars, they wait to buy. And what
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: happens while everyone else is drowning in payments? They are
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: building wealth while everyone else is paying interest, They are
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: earning interest. It is not complicated. It is discipline. The
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: modern poverty curse has a name, consumer debt, credit cards,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: car loans for vehicles you cannot afford, financing, furniture, electronics, vacations,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: even groceries on payment plans. The median American household carries
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: ninety three thousand dollars in debt. Let me say that again,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: ninety three thousand dollars. That is not a wealth building strategy.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: That is financial slavery. Every payment you make to a
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: creditor is money that could be building your storehouse. Every
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: dollar you pay an interest is harvest. You are giving away.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: If you want to break the poverty curse. You must
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: break the debt curse. Stop using credit cards today, cut
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: them up. If you need to start attacking your debts
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: with intensity, list them smallest to largest. Attack the smallest
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: with everything you have, while making minimum payments on the rest.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: When it is paid off, roll that payment into the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: next debt. This is the debt snowball method. It works
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: because it is based on biblical principles. Freedom first, then wealth.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Proverbs thirteen twenty says he who walks with wise men
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Your financial future is directly connected to the five people
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you spend the most time with. Show me your friends,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and I will show you your fear future. If those
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: five people are broke, complaining, have a victim mentality, and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: blame everyone else for their situation, that curse is spreading
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: to you right now. I do not care how strong
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you think you are. Environment shapes behavior. Look at your
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: closest relationships right now. Be honest. Are they building or consuming?
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Are they investing or complaining? Are they taking responsibility or
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: making excuses? Are they reading and learning or wasting hours
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: on entertainment? If everyone in your circle is comfortable with poverty,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you will never rise above it. Iron sharpens iron, but
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: rust spreads to rust. You need to intentionally change your circle.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Seek out people who are where you want to be financially,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: join groups of entrepreneurs and investors. Find mentors who have
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: built wealth with integrity and wisdom. Read books by people
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: who have achieved what you desire. Listen to podcast that
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: expand your thinking. Your association determines your destination. Choose very,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: very carefully. Proverbs tend too says ill gotten treasures are
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of no value, but righteousness delivers from death. You can hustle,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you can scheme, You can cut corners, manipulate people, and
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: deceive your way to money. You might even succeed for
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a season, but it will not last. Wealth built on
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: dishonesty crumbles, it always does. Only wealth built on value,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: service and integrity endures across generations. Here is the Kingdom
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: principle that most people miss. Business is service. You make
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: money by solving problems for other people. The bigger the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: problem you solve, the more value you create, the more
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: money you make. If you are only focused on what
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you can get, what you can take, what you can extract,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: you will stay poor. But when you focus on what
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: you can give, how you can serve, how you can
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: create massive value for others, wealth becomes inevitable. Every transaction
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: should leave everyone better off. Every customer should feel like
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: they received more value than they paid. Every employee should
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: feel valued, respected, and fairly compensated. Every partner should benefit
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: from the relationship. This is not just morally right. This
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: is strategically brilliant. Integrity builds reputation. Reputation builds trust, Trust
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: builds wealth that lasts. Deuteronomy eight eighteen says remember the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Lord your God, for it is he who gives you
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Read that verse again slowly. God gives you the power
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to get wealth, not so you can buy a mansion,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: not so you can drive a Lamborghini, not so you
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: can flex on social media, that he may establish his
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: covenant on earth. You are not the destination of the blessing.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: You are the channel. This is the piece that makes
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: everything else work. When you understand that wealth is a
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: tool for kingdom advancement, not personal consumption, everything changes. The
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: guilt disappears, the fear disappears. You stop being afraid of money.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: You stop feeling bad about wanting more, because it is
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: not about you. It is about what God can do
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: through you when you have resources. It is about the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: lives you can touch, the families you can help, the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: ministries you can fund, the problems you can solve. This
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: is why you must get serious about breaking the poverty curse,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: not for a bigger house, for kingdom impact. The world
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: is not changed by broke believers with good intentions. It
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: is changed by generous kingdom financiers who understand their assignment
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and have the resources to fill it. Right now, wherever
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: you are, I want you to say this out loud
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: with me, say it with authority. I renounce every poverty mindset.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I renounce the slave mentality. I am a child of
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the King of kings, and I walk in kingdom abundance.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: The curse is broken over my finances starting today. I
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: am a faithful steward of God's resources, and I manage
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: them with wisdom, diligence, and integrity. Everything I touch prospers
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: because the hand of God is upon my life. I
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: am blessed to be a blessing. I am a channel,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: not a reservoir. Prosperity flows through me to advance God's
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: kingdom on earth. Now Here is your seventy two hour challenge.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Do not just watch this video and move on. Within
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the next three days, implement at least one law. Open
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: a storehouse savings account and deposit something into it, even
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: if it is fifty dollars. Create a budget and trap
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: back every single dollar. Cut up a credit card, and
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: commit to debt freedom. By one course or book that
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: will increase your value and skills. Join one community of
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: people who are where you want to be. Make one change,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: take one action. Break the inertia. The curse breaks when
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: you move. Faith without works is dead. Your breakthrough is
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: on the other side of obedience. Which law hit you
• 19:25
