9 Financial Laws From Scripture That Will End the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle Forever · Bible Ascent

0:00
Speaker 1: Seventy eight percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck
0:04
Speaker 1: right now. That is nearly four out of every five
0:07
Speaker 1: people you pass in the grocery store aisle today. And
0:11
Speaker 1: it gets worse. The average American household is carrying six thousand,
0:15
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars in high interest credit card debt, and
0:19
Speaker 1: most of those families have no clear idea how they
0:22
Speaker 1: got there or how to climb out. But here is
0:25
Speaker 1: the question that nobody is asking out loud. What if
0:28
Speaker 1: you have spent your entire adult life running a race
0:31
Speaker 1: on a treadmill, giving everything you have, sacrificing sleep, skipping vacations,
0:38
Speaker 1: picking up extra shifts, and somehow still waking up every
0:42
Speaker 1: Monday morning feeling further behind than you were the Friday before.
0:46
Speaker 1: What if the answer to breaking that cycle is not
0:49
Speaker 1: a new budgeting app, not a finance influencer on social media,
0:53
Speaker 1: and not a self help book with a catchy title.
0:57
Speaker 1: What if the blueprint has been sitting on your nightstand
0:59
Speaker 1: this entire time. In the next twenty minutes, I am
1:03
Speaker 1: breaking down nine biblical financial laws that will permanently change
1:07
Speaker 1: the way you think about, handle and grow money. Stick
1:12
Speaker 1: around for law number seven. It is the one most
1:15
Speaker 1: Christians get completely backwards, and that single misunderstanding is quietly
1:21
Speaker 1: draining thousands of dollars from your household every single year.
1:25
Speaker 1: You do not want to miss it before we dive in.
1:29
Speaker 1: If you are new to Bible, assent, welcome home. Hit
1:32
Speaker 1: that subscribe button right now so you never miss a video,
1:36
Speaker 1: and drop a comment below telling me which of these
1:38
Speaker 1: nine laws you are most eager to apply. I read
1:42
Speaker 1: every single comment, and your response helps me create more
1:46
Speaker 1: of what actually serves this community. Now, let us open
1:50
Speaker 1: the Word and get to work. The Bible is not
1:53
Speaker 1: just a book of faith. It is the most practical
1:56
Speaker 1: financial manual ever written. There are over two thousand, thousand,
2:00
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty verses in Scripture that address money, wealth, generosity,
2:07
Speaker 1: and stewardship. God did not dedicate that much of his
2:11
Speaker 1: inspired word to something he did not care about deeply.
2:14
Speaker 1: He cares about your bank account because he cares about
2:17
Speaker 1: your freedom, and debt is the opposite of freedom. Consider
2:21
Speaker 1: King Solomon. Historians estimate his net worth at over two
2:26
Speaker 1: point one trillion dollars in today's purchasing power. He was
2:30
Speaker 1: not lucky. He did not inherit a booming economy. He
2:34
Speaker 1: followed a deliberate, principled system, the same system embedded in
2:39
Speaker 1: the laws we are about to unpack together. And this
2:42
Speaker 1: is not ancient theory. A man named James, a father
2:46
Speaker 1: of three from Tampa, Florida, was sitting at his kitchen
2:49
Speaker 1: table fourteen months ago, staring at a total debt balance
2:53
Speaker 1: of forty thousand dollars across four accounts. He was hiding
2:57
Speaker 1: credit card statements in his car because he did not
3:00
Speaker 1: want his wife to see them. He was not sleeping.
3:03
Speaker 1: He felt like he was failing his family. He started
3:06
Speaker 1: applying just three of the nine laws we are covering today.
3:10
Speaker 1: Fourteen months later, every debt was gone. He had opened
3:14
Speaker 1: a college savings account for each of his three kids.
3:17
Speaker 1: James is not a finance genius. He is a regular
3:21
Speaker 1: man who decided to trust an ancient blueprint. Law number
3:25
Speaker 1: one is the law of first fruits. Proverbs three, verse
3:29
Speaker 1: nine says this, honor the Lord with your wealth, with
3:34
Speaker 1: the first fruits of all your crops. God is not
3:37
Speaker 1: asking for your leftover money after the cable bill and
3:40
Speaker 1: the car payment are covered. He is asking for the
3:43
Speaker 1: first portion, not what remains at the end of the month,
3:46
Speaker 1: but what comes first at the beginning of it. Tithing
3:49
Speaker 1: ten percent off the top is not about losing money.
3:52
Speaker 1: It is about establishing a spiritual order of priority that
3:56
Speaker 1: actually governs and protects the ninety percent that stays with you.
4:00
Speaker 1: Marcus in Chicago had been a church goer his whole life,
4:04
Speaker 1: but for years he practiced what I call end of
4:06
Speaker 1: month giving. He would wait until all his bills were paid,
4:10
Speaker 1: all his groceries were bought, all his small pleasures were satisfied,
4:15
Speaker 1: and then he would give whatever scraps remained. The problem
4:19
Speaker 1: was that scraps never remained. Every single month, some new
4:23
Speaker 1: emergency consumed whatever he had set aside, a cracked phone screen,
4:28
Speaker 1: a parking ticket, a last minute birthday gift. Then one
4:33
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, Marcus set up a five minute automatic bank
4:36
Speaker 1: transfer that moved his tithe out of his checking account.
4:39
Speaker 1: The same morning his paycheck arrived. He told me later
4:43
Speaker 1: that something shifted almost immediately, not just spiritually but practically.
4:48
Speaker 1: The financial fires that used to erupt every month became
4:51
Speaker 1: far less frequent. His money stretched in ways he could
4:55
Speaker 1: not fully explain. Your action. Step for Law number one,
4:59
Speaker 1: set up a an automatic transfer today. The same day
5:02
Speaker 1: your paycheck hits a designated portion moves directly toward giving
5:07
Speaker 1: your local church, a ministry you trust, or a cause
5:11
Speaker 1: aligned with your faith. Make it automatic so it is
5:15
Speaker 1: never negotiable. Law number two is the law of stewardship.
5:19
Speaker 1: Matthew twenty five, verse twenty one. Well done, good and
5:24
Speaker 1: faithful servant. You have been faithful with a few things.
5:28
Speaker 1: I will put you in charge of many things. You
5:31
Speaker 1: do not own your money. You are a manager of
5:34
Speaker 1: what God has entrusted to you. And if you cannot
5:37
Speaker 1: manage one hundred dollars faithfully, there is no spiritual or
5:42
Speaker 1: logical reason to expect God to entrust you with one
5:45
Speaker 1: hundred thousand. Sarah in Columbus, Ohio used to believe she
5:50
Speaker 1: was poor because her salary was the problem. Thirty eight
5:53
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year felt impossible to work with. She
5:57
Speaker 1: felt powerless, like her income was a ceiling she could
5:59
Speaker 1: not breakthrough no matter what she did. Then a friend
6:03
Speaker 1: challenged her to track every single dollar for thirty days,
6:06
Speaker 1: without changing any habits, just watching. What she found stunned her.
6:12
Speaker 1: She was paying for three hundred and twelve dollars worth
6:14
Speaker 1: of subscription services every single month. That she had completely
6:19
Speaker 1: forgotten about, a streaming platform she used twice in a year,
6:23
Speaker 1: a fitness app she downloaded during a January motivation surge,
6:28
Speaker 1: a cloud storage plan she accidentally signed up for during
6:31
Speaker 1: a free trial two years earlier. Three hundred and twelve
6:35
Speaker 1: dollars a month is three thousand, seven hundred and forty
6:38
Speaker 1: four dollars a year gone silently, automatically, invisibly. That is
6:43
Speaker 1: not a low income problem. That is a stewardship problem.
6:47
Speaker 1: Your action step download a spending tracker this week and
6:51
Speaker 1: commit to monitoring every transaction for the next thirty days.
6:56
Speaker 1: Do not judge yourself, just look honest. Awareness is always
7:00
Speaker 1: the first step toward lasting change. Law number three is
7:05
Speaker 1: the law of debt avoidance. Proverbs twenty two, verse seven,
7:10
Speaker 1: The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is
7:14
Speaker 1: slave to the lender. High interest credit card debt is
7:17
Speaker 1: the most normalized form of financial slavery in modern America.
7:22
Speaker 1: The average credit card charges between twenty and twenty five
7:25
Speaker 1: percent interest annually. Every dollar you pay in interest is
7:29
Speaker 1: a dollar stolen from your future, from your children's college fund,
7:34
Speaker 1: from your retirement, from the legacy you are called to leave.
7:38
Speaker 1: Brian in Austin, Texas, had five credit cards and genuinely
7:42
Speaker 1: believed he was managing them responsibly because he never missed
7:45
Speaker 1: a minimum payment. One evening, he sat down with a
7:48
Speaker 1: calculator and added up what he was actually paying in
7:52
Speaker 1: interest charges alone each month, eight hundred dollars, not paying
7:57
Speaker 1: down what he owed just interest, eight hundred dred dollars
8:01
Speaker 1: every single month, disappearing with nothing to show for it.
8:05
Speaker 1: He cut up every card that same evening. That eight
8:08
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, redirected with focused intention, became his debt payoff fund.
8:14
Speaker 1: Within eighteen months, all five balances were gone, and that
8:19
Speaker 1: same eight hundred dollars became his monthly investment contribution. Your
8:23
Speaker 1: action step identify your smallest debt balance right now, not
8:28
Speaker 1: the highest interest rate, just the smallest number. Then direct
8:33
Speaker 1: every spare dollar toward eliminating it completely this month. This
8:37
Speaker 1: is the debt snowball method, and the momentum it builds
8:40
Speaker 1: is both financial and psychological. Law number four is the
8:45
Speaker 1: law of diversification. Ecclesiastes eleven, verse two, invest in seven ventures,
8:52
Speaker 1: yes in eight. You do not know what disaster may
8:55
Speaker 1: come upon the land. Three thousand years before the modern
8:59
Speaker 1: stock market existed. God was teaching portfolio diversification. The principle
9:05
Speaker 1: has never changed. Never place your entire financial security on
9:09
Speaker 1: a single source of income. Research consistently shows that the
9:14
Speaker 1: average millionaire in America maintains seven distinct income streams. Most
9:19
Speaker 1: working Americans have exactly won their job, and when that
9:22
Speaker 1: one stream is interrupted, everything collapses at once. Linda in Savannah,
9:28
Speaker 1: Georgia learned this the hard way and the redemptive way
9:31
Speaker 1: simultaneously when the pandemic hit. Her employer shut down operations
9:37
Speaker 1: and she lost her primary income overnight. But two years earlier,
9:41
Speaker 1: Linda had started quietly investing a small amount each month
9:45
Speaker 1: into an S and P five hundred index fund, and
9:48
Speaker 1: she had built a small online vintage resale business on weekends.
9:53
Speaker 1: Nothing glamorous, just extra income she was intentional about creating.
9:57
Speaker 1: When the crisis came, her family would shaken, but never shattered.
10:02
Speaker 1: The disaster revealed the wisdom of the diversification she had
10:06
Speaker 1: quietly built. Your action step today, spend thirty minutes researching
10:11
Speaker 1: S and P five hundred index funds through a provider
10:14
Speaker 1: like Vanguard or Fidelity. Or identify one marketable skill you
10:19
Speaker 1: already possess that could generate side income. You do not
10:23
Speaker 1: need to launch a full business this week. You simply
10:26
Speaker 1: need to begin the process of building a second stream
10:29
Speaker 1: before you desperately need one. We are halfway through these
10:33
Speaker 1: nine laws, and everything we have covered so far is
10:37
Speaker 1: about stopping the bleeding, plugging the holes that drain your
10:41
Speaker 1: financial life month after month. But Laws five through nine
10:45
Speaker 1: are where this journey becomes genuinely exciting, because these laws
10:49
Speaker 1: are about building, growing, and leaving something behind that outlasts you.
10:54
Speaker 1: And Law number nine in particular, is going to fundamentally
10:58
Speaker 1: shift the way you see your role in your family's history.
11:02
Speaker 1: I need you to stay with me for the second
11:04
Speaker 1: half of this because what is coming will change how
11:07
Speaker 1: you think about your name and what it means to
11:10
Speaker 1: the people who carry it after you are gone. Law
11:12
Speaker 1: number five is the law of planning Luke fourteen, verse
11:17
Speaker 1: twenty eight. Suppose one of you wants to build a tower,
11:20
Speaker 1: won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to
11:24
Speaker 1: see if you have enough money to complete it? Jesus
11:27
Speaker 1: himself was teaching financial planning in the middle of a sermon.
11:30
Speaker 1: Not vague dreaming, actual calculated number, specific planning. One of
11:37
Speaker 1: the most common financial disasters in American households comes from
11:41
Speaker 1: making major purchases based on emotion. We buy what we
11:45
Speaker 1: feel we deserve in the moment, rather than what our
11:48
Speaker 1: long term budget can realistically sustain. The true monthly cost
11:52
Speaker 1: of owning a home includes far more than the mortgage payment.
11:56
Speaker 1: It includes property taxes, homeowners insureanceurance, private mortgage insurance, HOA
12:03
Speaker 1: fees if applicable, routine maintenance, and the inevitable repairs that
12:08
Speaker 1: arrive without warning the furnace in January, the roof after
12:12
Speaker 1: a summer storm, the water heater that fails on a
12:14
Speaker 1: holiday weekend. When buyers calculate only the mortgage payment, they
12:19
Speaker 1: are walking into a financial ambush that usually arrives within
12:22
Speaker 1: the first two years. Your action step this week write
12:27
Speaker 1: down your five year financial goals with specific numbers attached.
12:31
Speaker 1: Not I want to be debt free someday, but I
12:34
Speaker 1: will eliminate nineteen thousand dollars of debt by March of
12:37
Speaker 1: next year, saving four hundred and eighty dollars per month
12:41
Speaker 1: to do it. Specificity is accountability. Vague intentions produce vague results.
12:48
Speaker 1: Law number six is the law of diligence. Proverbs ten
12:53
Speaker 1: verse four. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands
12:57
Speaker 1: bring wealth. This is not a verse working yourself into exhaustion.
13:02
Speaker 1: It is a verse about the quality, the consistency, and
13:06
Speaker 1: the intentionality of your effort. The greatest financial lie sold
13:11
Speaker 1: to this generation is the promise of effortless wealth, overnight success,
13:15
Speaker 1: viral moments, passive income with zero investment of time or skill.
13:21
Speaker 1: Scripture does not endorse shortcuts. It endorses excellence. Consider a
13:26
Speaker 1: man named DeShawn who grew up in Baltimore. At twenty six,
13:30
Speaker 1: he was earning twenty nine thousand dollars a year doing
13:33
Speaker 1: data entry. He was not complaining about his salary publicly,
13:38
Speaker 1: but privately he knew he had more to give. He
13:41
Speaker 1: started spending one hour every evening after his daughter went
13:44
Speaker 1: to sleep, learning digital marketing through free online resources. He
13:49
Speaker 1: practiced on small freelance projects. He made mistakes, he got better.
13:54
Speaker 1: Within two years, he had transitioned into a full time
13:58
Speaker 1: marketing role, earning sixty one thousand dollars annually, and he
14:02
Speaker 1: was doing freelance work on the side, generating an additional
14:06
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand dollars a year. He did not win the lottery.
14:10
Speaker 1: He did not go viral. He showed up every single
14:13
Speaker 1: night when it would have been easier to watch television,
14:16
Speaker 1: and the market rewarded him for it. Your action step
14:20
Speaker 1: identify one high income skill that aligns with your existing
14:24
Speaker 1: strengths copywriting, graphic design, video editing, financial analysis, public speaking,
14:32
Speaker 1: web development, and commit one focused hour to it every
14:36
Speaker 1: day for the next ninety days. One year from today,
14:40
Speaker 1: you will not recognize what you are capable of earning.
14:44
Speaker 1: Law number seven is the law of contentment, and this
14:47
Speaker 1: is the one most people get completely backwards. Hebrews thirteen,
14:52
Speaker 1: verse five, Keep your lives free from the love of money,
14:55
Speaker 1: and be content with what you have. Most people read
14:59
Speaker 1: this verse and he settle, accept mediocrity, stop dreaming, stay
15:05
Speaker 1: where you are. That interpretation could not be more wrong.
15:09
Speaker 1: Contentment is not the absence of ambition. It is the
15:12
Speaker 1: refusal to allow the blessings of your current season to
15:15
Speaker 1: be destroyed by the pressure to upgrade before you are ready.
15:19
Speaker 1: There is a pattern that financial researchers call lifestyle creep,
15:23
Speaker 1: and it is quietly the most dangerous wealth killer in
15:26
Speaker 1: America today. It works like this. You earn a promotion,
15:30
Speaker 1: your monthly take home increases by five hundred dollars. You
15:34
Speaker 1: feel you have earned something, so you upgrade your apartment
15:38
Speaker 1: by two hundred dollars a month, add a car payment,
15:41
Speaker 1: increase your dining and entertainment budget, add a few new
15:45
Speaker 1: subscription services. Your income went up by five hundred dollars
15:49
Speaker 1: and your spending went up by four hundred and seventy dollars.
15:53
Speaker 1: You saved thirty dollars. You worked harder, earned more, and
15:58
Speaker 1: your financial position barly moved. The people I have studied
16:02
Speaker 1: who actually build lasting wealth are almost universally the ones
16:06
Speaker 1: who refuse to let their lifestyle grow as fast as
16:10
Speaker 1: their income. Every single raise, every bonus, every windfall, they
16:15
Speaker 1: increased their investments first, and their spending last, if at all.
16:20
Speaker 1: Your action step after this video open your email and
16:25
Speaker 1: unsubscribe from every promotional newsletter you receive, every retail brand,
16:30
Speaker 1: every deal aggregator, every shopping app notification. Remove the temptation
16:35
Speaker 1: from your environment entirely. What you do not see will
16:39
Speaker 1: not pull at your wallet. Law number eight is the
16:42
Speaker 1: law of generosity. Proverbs eleven, verse twenty five. A generous
16:47
Speaker 1: person will prosper. Whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Generosity
16:53
Speaker 1: operates on a principle that defies every instinct of human
16:57
Speaker 1: self preservation. The tighter you grip your money, the less
17:00
Speaker 1: you seem to have. The more freely and genuinely you give,
17:05
Speaker 1: not from obligation, not for recognition, but from a heart
17:09
Speaker 1: that trusts God as the source, the more your capacity
17:12
Speaker 1: seems to grow. This is not a prosperity formula. It
17:16
Speaker 1: is a consistent, documented pattern, woven through scripture and lived
17:21
Speaker 1: out by real people across generations. A woman named Carol
17:25
Speaker 1: in Nashville had almost nothing when she started this practice.
17:29
Speaker 1: She was a nurse working overnight shifts, raising two teenagers alone.
17:34
Speaker 1: After her divorce. She made a decision one Sunday morning
17:37
Speaker 1: that she was going to give generously, no matter what
17:40
Speaker 1: her bank account said. Because she was tired of letting
17:44
Speaker 1: fear make her financial decisions. She started leaving anonymous notes
17:48
Speaker 1: with cash tucked inside for a single father in her
17:51
Speaker 1: neighborhood she knew was struggling. She paid for a coworker's
17:55
Speaker 1: medication when she overheard her say she was choosing between
17:58
Speaker 1: prescriptions and groceries. Carol told me that something about giving
18:02
Speaker 1: broke the fear that had been controlling her spending for years.
18:06
Speaker 1: Within three years, Carol had paid off her car, started
18:10
Speaker 1: a savings account with a six month emergency fund, and
18:14
Speaker 1: was mentoring young nurses in her church on personal finance.
18:18
Speaker 1: Generosity changed her relationship with money before it changed her
18:22
Speaker 1: bank balance. Your action step this week. Find one person
18:27
Speaker 1: in your circle who is quietly carrying a financial burden,
18:31
Speaker 1: not announcing it, just quietly stressed, and do something generous
18:36
Speaker 1: for them, without ever letting them know it was you.
18:39
Speaker 1: No post, no credit, just give. Law number nine is
18:43
Speaker 1: the law of legacy. Proverbs thirteen, verse twenty two. A
18:48
Speaker 1: good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children. Read
18:52
Speaker 1: that again, not children, children's children. God is calling you
18:57
Speaker 1: to think two generations forward. He is inviting you into
19:01
Speaker 1: a vision of your family's future that extends decades beyond
19:05
Speaker 1: your own retirement and even beyond your own lifetime. Most
19:09
Speaker 1: financial planning in America is entirely self focused. How much
19:14
Speaker 1: do I need to stop working? What number do I
19:17
Speaker 1: need to reach? These are not wrong questions, but they
19:20
Speaker 1: are dangerously incomplete ones. Biblical stewardship asks a far bigger question.
19:27
Speaker 1: What am I building that will still be standing and
19:29
Speaker 1: growing long after I am gone. A Wroth individual retirement
19:33
Speaker 1: account opened for a child today, even with modest monthly contributions,
19:38
Speaker 1: can grow to hundreds of thousands of dollars by the
19:41
Speaker 1: time that child reaches retirement age, completely tax free. A
19:45
Speaker 1: five hundred and twenty nine education savings plan started at
19:48
Speaker 1: a child's birth can eliminate the student loan debt that
19:52
Speaker 1: is currently enslaving an entire generation of young Americans before
19:56
Speaker 1: they even enter the workforce. These are not complicated financial instruments.
20:02
Speaker 1: They are simple, accessible tools, available to anyone with a
20:07
Speaker 1: Social Security number and twenty five dollars to start. The
20:10
Speaker 1: complexity is not in the mechanics. The complexity is in
20:14
Speaker 1: the mindset shift from thinking about yourself to thinking about
20:18
Speaker 1: your bloodline. Your action step this month. Open a Wroth
20:23
Speaker 1: individual retirement account or a five hundred and twenty nine
20:27
Speaker 1: education savings plan for a child in your life, your child,
20:31
Speaker 1: your grandchild, a niece, a nephew. Start with whatever you
20:36
Speaker 1: have twenty five dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars. The
20:42
Speaker 1: amount matters far less than the beginning beginning's compound. I
20:46
Speaker 1: want to close with the story I mentioned earlier, the
20:49
Speaker 1: one about Linda in Seattle. She was a single mother
20:53
Speaker 1: working two jobs, surviving on thirty one thousand dollars a year.
20:58
Speaker 1: One night, after putting her kids to bed, she sat
21:01
Speaker 1: at her kitchen table and cried quietly so they would
21:04
Speaker 1: not hear her. Her car had broken down. That afternoon.
21:08
Speaker 1: The repair estimate was nine hundred dollars. Her checking account
21:12
Speaker 1: showed twelve dollars and forty three cents, twelve dollars and
21:16
Speaker 1: forty three cents between her family and a complete collapse.
21:20
Speaker 1: A woman from her church texted her a link to
21:22
Speaker 1: a video about biblical stewardship that same week. Linda did
21:26
Speaker 1: not dismiss it. She started with law number two. She
21:29
Speaker 1: tracked every dollar for thirty days without changing a single habit.
21:34
Speaker 1: Then she started practicing law number eight. Even in her scarcity,
21:39
Speaker 1: even when the numbers felt ridiculous, she began giving five
21:43
Speaker 1: dollars here, ten dollars there. She treated her giving like
21:47
Speaker 1: an act of trust rather than an act of math.
21:51
Speaker 1: Two years after that night at the kitchen table, Linda
21:54
Speaker 1: owns her home. She has a fully funded emergency account
21:58
Speaker 1: that could sustain her family for seven months, and she
22:01
Speaker 1: runs a weekly financial literacy group. At her church that
22:04
Speaker 1: has helped over forty women in her community take their
22:07
Speaker 1: first real steps toward freedom from financial fear. One woman
22:12
Speaker 1: twelve dollars a decision to believe that an ancient blueprint
22:16
Speaker 1: was worth trusting. The cycle of living paycheck to paycheck
22:21
Speaker 1: does not end when your income increases. It ends when
22:25
Speaker 1: your identity shifts from a person who is always behind
22:29
Speaker 1: to a person who is faithfully stewarding what God has
22:32
Speaker 1: placed in their hands. You are not fixing a spreadsheet today.
22:36
Speaker 1: You are reclaiming a birthright, and that work starts right now,
22:41
Speaker 1: in this moment, with the very next financial decision you make.
22:45
Speaker 1: I want you to do something bold right now. In
22:48
Speaker 1: the comments below, type this exact phrase. I am debt
22:53
Speaker 1: free and walking in God's abundance. I know it may
22:56
Speaker 1: not be your current reality, but speak it over your
22:59
Speaker 1: future anyway. Declare it, Let this community stand with you
23:04
Speaker 1: and call it forward. I believe in what God is
23:07
Speaker 1: doing in your financial life, and I want to see
23:10
Speaker 1: your comment down there. If this video spoke to something
23:13
Speaker 1: real in you today, share it with one person, not
23:16
Speaker 1: a mass blast, just one specific person you know who
23:20
Speaker 1: is quietly stressed about money. Right now, be the answer
23:24
Speaker 1: to the prayer they have been praying. Send it to
23:27
Speaker 1: them before you close this app, and if you are
23:30
Speaker 1: not yet part of the Bible Assent family, subscribe right now.
23:34
Speaker 1: Next week I am releasing a video on the number
23:36
Speaker 1: one reason why hard working, faithful, generous people still stay
23:41
Speaker 1: financially stuck despite doing everything they believe is right. The
23:45
Speaker 1: answer is going to challenge everything you think you know
23:49
Speaker 1: and you will not want to be the person who
23:51
Speaker 1: missed it. God bless you. I will see you in
23:54
Speaker 1: the next one.
