You can have real financial success this year.
I’ll never be out of debt.
I’ll be paying bills for the rest of my life.
I don’t even know where to start trying to get out of debt.
Do any of those statements sound like you? Have you spoken words like that or thought that way about your financial situation?
It’s easy to talk and think that way when you’re facing what looks like an impossible mountain of debt and have no solutions.
I’ve been there.
You’ve probably heard parts of my story. I made plenty of mistakes with money in the early years of marriage and raising a family. Sure, I worked hard, but I just couldn’t seem to get ahead. I soon found myself in a financial pit, owing on 10 maxed-out credit cards, three finance company loans, two car payments, back taxes to the IRS, judgments and liens, and $26,000 to relatives.
Drenda and I lived with our five children in a small, broken-down, 1800s farmhouse, complete with weeds growing through the broken windowpanes. We barely had money for food, let alone home repairs. Our cars were broken-down, too—with bent frames, rusted out floorboards, and more than 200,000 miles on each of them.
Our situation was so bad that… well, here’s an example:
One day, my mother-in-law called Drenda and asked how we were doing.
“We’re doing great, Mom,” she told her.
“Is that so?” her mother questioned. “Go to the refrigerator and open the door,” she instructed. “What do you see?”
With quivering lips, Drenda barely managed to sputter out the words as she choked back sobs, “An empty mayonnaise jar!”
It wasn’t as simple as us needing to do a run to the grocery store, friend. We lived that way for NINE VERY LONG YEARS—strapped financially, with our debts just piling up more and more year after year.
Just fixing our situation looked impossible; I had no hope for real success.
We knew we must have been missing something. We found out that when we get desperate enough to get serious with the Word of God, the answers are there all along. And that was when God revealed several life-changing things to us. To begin, He told me that we had always trusted in debt and the world’s system more than we had trusted in His Word and His Kingdom.
God said, “Take the time to learn how My Kingdom operates.”
He then told me, “Most of My church is in the same situation that you are … I want my people free financially.”
There’s so much more to our story, but we went from financial ruin to being completely debt free over the next two and a half years!
We had real success.
I can’t even describe how that feels. We went from looking like it was too late for us to ever get our finances in order to being able to pay cash for our cars and to build the house we had always dreamed of having.
Our lives drastically changed.
Ever since then, Drenda and I have been on a mission to help people all around the world experience the same financial freedom—the real success—that we experienced.
We want to help you be financially free too. We want you to have real success in your life.
No matter how bad your situation looks right now, it is fixable.
This can be your year.
2020 can truly be YOUR BEST YEAR YET.
Here’s the thing though: financial success doesn’t just happen.
You have some steps to take. It will take some work. There will be a price involved, and it may take you some time.
But I promise you it will be well worth it.
So, how do you get there? How do you move from where you are now to where you really want to go in 2020?
#1 – You have to learn what the Bible says about money, and you have to learn how to apply the financial principles of the Kingdom to your life.
You have to truly trust the One who made you, the One who created the earth, the One who has the power to prosper your finances, to build your business, to build your life, and to take you from being the tail and make you the head.
Colossians 1:12-14 says, “And giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
Do you see that? God already rescued YOU and brought YOU into the Kingdom of His Son—His Kingdom.
Here’s the thing: if you left your country to live in a new country and you never studied the laws of that new country, you would never know how to enact those laws—you would never stand for what was legally yours because you would still, in your mind, be living under the training and ways of the previous government.
Romans 12:2 tells us clearly: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
You have to renew your mind to the Word of God.
The Word of God tells you your legal rights as a citizen of the Kingdom of God. It’s the Word of God that trains your heart and renews your mind.
See, Jesus made your access to the Kingdom legal, yet most people read the stories in the Bible of what Jesus was able to do much like our ancestors viewed things like electricity and lightning—acknowledging that, yes, the events happened, but never envisioning the POWER of those things for themselves.
But Jesus said that the same things that we see Him doing, we have the ability to do as well.
The Kingdom of God has already been given to YOU. You just have to understand its laws.
We’ve heard SO MANY incredible stories of people whose lives have been dramatically changed once they gained an understanding of how the Kingdom of God operates and started implementing its principles in their lives. Our personal story is just one of thousands!
#2 – You have to make important practical decisions to change your financial future.
