The Key to Multiplying Your Finances and Honoring God Make money in God_s Way · Bible Ascent

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Are you lying in bed at three in the morning,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: staring at the ceiling wondering how you will pay next
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: month's rent while feeling guilty for even worrying about money
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: because you are supposed to just have faith. Here is
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: what nobody tells you. That guilt is a lie and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: it is keeping you broke. What if I told you
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: that God actually wants you wealthy, but not in the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: way the prosperity preachers sell it, and definitely not in
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the way broke religion teaches it. Stick with me for
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the next seven minutes because the third principle I am
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: about to share will completely contradict what ninety percent of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: pastors teach about money, and it is straight from scripture.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Before we blow your mind with biblical wealth principles, do
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: me a favor right now. Smash that subscribe button and
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: drop the word breakthrough in the comments. I read every
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: single one, and I want to know you are ready
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: for financial transformation. Let us dive in. For decades, the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: church has fed believers at toxic narrative. Spiritual people should
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: not care about money. Rich Christians are probably compromised. If
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you are struggling financially, just pray harder and have more faith.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: This teaching has created generations of broke, guilty, anxious believers
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: who secretly resent God for their financial chaos. But here
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: is the truth that will set you free. God never
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: called you to poverty. He called you to stewardship. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: there is a universe of difference between those two concepts.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Principal one, you own nothing. Let me introduce you to Marcus,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a software engineer from California making two hundred and thirty
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. On paper, he was winning nice
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: house in the suburbs, new tesla in the driveway, kids
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in private school. But Marcus could not sleep. Why because
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: he was terrified of losing it all. Every market dip
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: sent him into panic. Every unexpected expense created anxiety. He
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: owned everything, but nothing gave him peace. Then Marcus encountered
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Psalm twenty four, verse one, The earth is the Lord's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and everything in it, the world and all who live
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: in it. This verse shattered his entire worldview. He realized
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: something radical. He did not own any of it. Not
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the house, not the tesla, not even the salary. It
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: all belonged to God. Marcus was simply the manager. This
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: is the first principle of biblical prosperity stewardship not ownership.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: When you truly understand that you manage God's resources rather
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: than possess your own wealth, everything changes. Your questions shift.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Instead of asking how can I afford this? You start
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: asking would God want me to allocate his resources this way?
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Think about it like this. If your wealthy uncle handed
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you one million dollars and said, manage this for me.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I will be back in a year. Would you blow
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: it on luxury cars and designer clothes? Of course not.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: You would protect it, grow it, and use it according
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to his wishes. That is exactly your role with every
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: dollar God allows into your life. The difference between a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: container and a channel defines your financial future. A container
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: stores wealth for personal comfort, measures success by account balances,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and lives in fear of loss. A channel circulates resources
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for kingdom impact, measures success by lives changed, and trusts
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that more flows through as needed. I have watched this
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: principle transform lives. Sarah, a single mom in Texas making
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: forty two thousand dollars a year, started viewing her modest
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: income as God's provision to steward. She stopped comparing herself
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to wealthy neighbors and started asking how God wanted his
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: money used. Within two years, she was debt free, had
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: six months of savings, and was supporting three missionaries monthly.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Her income did not change her perspective did. Principle two.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Faith without a budget is dead. Now Here is where
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: religious people get uncomfortable because I am about to say
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: something that sounds unspiritual. Prayer without planning is presumption not faith.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: James Chapter one, verse five says, if any of you
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Notice it says wisdom, not money. God wants to give
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you the intelligence to manage what you already have before
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: he trusts you with increase. Let me hit you with
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: a shocking statistic from the National Endowment for Financial Education.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Seventy percent of people who win major lotteries end up
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: bankrupt within three to five years. Think about that. They
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: receive leave millions of dollars and lose it all. Why
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Because they gained wealth without gaining wisdom. Money amplifies who
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you already are. If you cannot manage two thousand dollars,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you cannot manage two million. Here is the equation that
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: will transform your finances. Faith plus action equals results. You
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: can pray for breakthrough every single morning. But if you
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: never create a budget, never eliminate wasteful spending, never invest wisely,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: or never work with excellence, you are not exercising faith.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: You are exercising foolishness. Proverbs twenty one, verse five teaches
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that the plans of the diligent lead to profit as
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: surely as haste leads to poverty. God rewards planning, He
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: honors diligence. He multiplies wisdom. Let me give you the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: exact budget structure that aligns with Kingdom principles. First ten
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: percent to tithes and offerings. This is not unegotiable, and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: we will address why. In Principle three. Second, ten to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: twenty percent to savings and investments. You are preparing for
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: future needs and creating multiplication. Third fifty to sixty percent
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to essential needs like housing, food, transportation, and utilities. Fourth
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: ten to twenty percent to discretionary wants. Most Americans reverse
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: this completely. They spend forty percent on wants, squeeze in needs,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: save whatever is left, which is usually nothing, and give
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to God. Only if there is extra, then they wonder
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: why they feel financially cursed. David, a construction worker in
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Ohio making fifty eight thousand dollars annually, implemented this structure.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: He thought it was impossible. How can I give away
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: twenty to thirty percent when I am already struggling, But
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: he trusted the principle. Within eighteen months, he paid off
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: nineteen thousand dollars in credit card debt, saved his first
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: emergency fund, and experienced peace he had never known. His
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: income actually stayed the same for the first year. His
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: obedience changed everything. Before we continue, pause this video for
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: five seconds and hit that like button. If this is
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: resonating with you, it helps this message reach more people
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: who need financial breakthrough. Okay, let us keep going because
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: principle three is about to blow your mind. Principal three
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the supernatural money multiplier. Here is the principle that makes
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: zero sense to the natural mind, but releases supernatural provision, tithing,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and generosity. This is how you access a financial dimension
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: that operates beyond human logic. Malachi three, verse ten issues
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the only challenge in scripture where God says, test me,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: be food in my house. Test me in this, says
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the Lord Almighty, and see if I will not throw
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Read that again. God is so confident in this principle
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that he invites you to test him. He is essentially saying,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I dare you to outgive me. You cannot, It is impossible.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: But let me address the objection. I know you are
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: thinking that is Old Testament law. We are under grace
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: now fair point, So let me give you the New
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Testament version. Second Corinthians nine, verse six says whoever sows
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: also reap generously. The principle did not disappear, it intensified.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Here is what tithing actually does. It breaks the spiritual
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: power of Mammon over your life. When you give the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: first ten percent of your income, before paying any bills,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: before buying any groceries, before doing anything else, you are
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: making a declaration. God, you are my source, not my employer.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Your provision is more reliable than my paycheck. I trust
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you more than I trust this money. This act of
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: obedience positions you under an open heaven. It is not
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: a vending machine. It is not name it and claim
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: it theology. It is a Kingdom law as reliable as gravity.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: When you honor God with your first fruits, he protects
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the ninety percent in ways that defy natural explanation. Let
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: me tell you about Jennifer, a nurse in Florida making
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: sixty seven thousand dollars. She was drowning in student loans
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and credit card debt, totaling ninety three thousand dollars. A
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: financial adviser told her stop giving to church until you
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: pay off debt. That is math. But Jennifer felt the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit say trust me. She continued tithing her full
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: ten percent, even while barely surviving. Within four years, through
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: a series of unexpected bonuses, a surprise inheritance from a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: distant relative she barely knew, and supernatural favor that led
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to a promotion she was not even qualified for on paper,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: she became completely debt free. The math did not math,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: but God did what God does when you honor his principles. Now,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: tithing is the foundation, but generosity is where you really
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: step into abundance. John three point sixteen shows us God's nature.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: For God so loved the world that he gave his
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: one and only son. Giving is not what God does occasionally.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Giving is who God is. Fundamentally, when you operate in
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: radical generosity, you reflect His character, and Heaven backs what
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: reflects God. Here is the cycle you sew financial seeds
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: through tithes, offerings, helping people in need and supporting kingdom war.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: God multiplies those seeds. According to Second Corinthians nine, verse six,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you receive a harvest that exceeds what you planted. You
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: sow even more from the increase. The cycle continues at
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: higher levels. But let me give you the warning nobody
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: wants to hear. One Timothy six, verse ten says the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Notice it does not say money is evil. The love
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: of money is evil. The problem is not possessing wealth.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: The problem is being possessed by wealth. You must regularly
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: examine your heart. Am I serving money or using money
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: to serve God? Do I trust my bank account or
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: God's promises? Would I give up financial security if God
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: asked me to? Am I more? Excited about making money
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: or making impact. Everything we have discussed requires one fundamental shift,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: transforming your mind from scarcity to abundance. Romans twelve, verse two.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Commands be transformed by the renewing of your mind. This
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: is not optional, it is essential. Most people operate from fear.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: There is never enough, I might run out. I need
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to protect what I have. This scarcity mindset creates the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: exact poverty it fears. But God operates from abundance. He
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: owns the cattle on a thousand hills according to Psalm fifty,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: verse ten. He is able to do immeasurably more than
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: all we ask or imagine. According to Ephesians three, verse twenty.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: He supplies all your needs according to his riches in glory.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: According to Philippians four, verse nineteen, when you believe these
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: truths at a core level, you stop hoarding and start circulating.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: You stop fearing loss and start expecting provision. You stop
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: competing for limited resources and start collaborating for kingdom multiplication.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: One practice that rewires your brain is declaration. Speak these
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: truths out loud daily. My God supplies all my needs
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: according to his riches in glory. God gives me the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: ability to produce wealth. I have never seen the righteous
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: forsaken or their children begging bread. These declarations renew your
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: mind and align your thoughts with Heaven's reality. Another practical
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: step is redirecting spending from temporary pleasure to eternal impact.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Before buying something, ask does this advance kingdom purposes or
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: just satisfy selfish desire. Choose to support missionaries, fund charitable work,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: help people in genuine need, and invest in ministry that
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: transforms lives. When you store up treasures in heaven instead
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: of on earth, you create wealth that moth and rust
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: cannot destroy and thieves cannot steal. We have covered three
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: principles that will revolutionize your finances. Stewardship instead of ownership,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: wisdom and action instead of passive hoping, Generosity instead of hoarding.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: These are not theories. These are Kingdom laws that work
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: when you work them. Let us pray together right now, Father,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I acknowledge that everything I have belongs to you. I
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: am not the owner. I am your manager. Forgive me
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: for treating your resources carelessly. I ask for supernatural wisdom
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: to manage every dollar according to your will. Give me
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: courage to tithe even when it seems impossible. Give me
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: discipline to budget when I want to spend carelessly. Break
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: every spirit of fear, greed, and poverty operating in my life.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I declare that my finances are aligned with your kingdom purposes.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I am a channel of blessing, not a container of accumulation.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I expect supernatural provision because I serve a supernatural God
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: in Jesus's name. Amen, now here is what I need
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you to do immediately. First, subscribe to this channel so
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: you never miss biblical wisdom that action transforms lives. Second,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: share this video with one person who needs financial breakthrough.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: You might be the catalyst God uses to change their
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: entire financial future. Third, take one action today. If you
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: have never tithed, commit to giving ten percent of your
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: next paycheck. If you do not have a budget, create
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: one this week using the structure I gave you. If
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: you have been hoarding resources, identify one person you can
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: bless financially this month. Type in the comments right now,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: my finances are being aligned with God's will. This is
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: not just a statement. This is a faith declaration that
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: activates Heaven's resources over your life. Remember, biblical prosperity is
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: not about getting rich quick. It is about faithful stewardship,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: wise action, and generous living that honors God and blesses others.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: When you align your finances with Kingdom principles, you position
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: yourself for supernatural multiplication that exceeds anything human effort alone
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: can achieve. Your breakthrough is not coming some day. It
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: starts right now with your decision to obey God's financial principles.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Let us walk this journey together.
