Many people, born again Christians especially, are taught and teach that wealth corrupts the pure pious soul. Money leads you into temptation and causes you sin. It takes over your life and you ultimately are lost. It is better to avoid great wealth. It is a sin to want a better life than the life to which you were born. Money only brings a horrible and eternal death. Money will master you and lead you into eternal damnation.

This mindset is the exact opposite of the truth found in God's Holy Word. It is in opposition to the success principles promised to us in God's Word. It just does not seem to be logical that God would create this wonderful world and fill it with all of its wealth and beauty as a means to lead men astray or to tempt and corrupt them. The truth is that He created all of the wealth in the world FOR His magnificent and favorite creation - mankind. This understanding is essential to the success principles that you need to learn.

The slavery of money comes from the lack of it. Haven't you noticed that the majority of people who do not have money are heavily in debt, work grueling hours for a pittance that doesn't cover the bills, are constantly worrying where they're going to get the money for this or that bill and are willing to do almost anything to get it. The true slaves to money are those who have to constantly seek enough of it to live (get by) in this world.

One of the major attributes of money is that it simply reveals a person's real character. When you study success principles you need to consider this deeply. If you are greedy, money simply reveals your greed. If you are dishonest, money amplifies this characteristic trait. If you are prone to a poor mindset, you can't control money. If you are foolish (the Biblical meaning of 'without God'), you're soon parted from it. Solomon tells us in Proverbs 21:20 (NASB) "There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man swallows it up."

There are thousands of poor Christians who religiously go to Church every time that the doors are opened. It is astounding how many born again believers are sick, poor, discouraged, plagued with debt and worry. It amazes me to see Christians falling for the old thought that they must be poor to be humble. This image of a believer was established after the death of the last disciple who accompanied Jesus Christ while He walked on earth.

There are many who are surely slaves to money (to not having it). They are always seeking just enough to get by. I hear Christians praying for a financial blessing. Imagine God looking from Heaven, shaking His head and saying, "Read your Holy Bible! I created all that exists in this physical world for you. I have given you directions in My Holy Scripture for you to prosper." All of God's success principles are there.

When are believers going to start believing? The excuse that money leads to evil is wrong. The DESIRE for money is the root of evil. That is when the desire for money exceeds and precedes the desire for the presence of God. You can break the bondage of financial slavery. You can remove the curse of poverty from your life. You can do this and not succumb to the temptations of this lust-filled world. If you will simply change that poverty mindset, you can attain every success that God the Father wants for you.

Can you read? Can you think? Are you teachable? Do you want to break the bonds of financial slavery? Do you want to live a successful, stress free lifestyle? There will always be trials and tribulations. Finances do not have to be one of them.

Jesus, in the New Testament, told us that men would hate us because of Him. He affirmed the fact that we would suffer trials and tribulations. These trials and tribulations are the methods by which our metal is tested. These 'tests' are character builders. The Bible tells us that Christ, on the Cross, defeated Satan. Why do you insist on letting him defeat you? Why do you insist on letting a world, over which you have been given dominion, keep you defeated? You must dominate your world through the indwelling Holy Spirit of the One True Living God.

Every human being is a child of the King of King, the Lord of Lords. You are an heir to the Kingdom and co-heir with Jesus Christ of the Kingdom of Heaven. Why do you live like a pauper under the slavery of money?

Would you like to live free? Take the opportunity to break free. Would you like to provide for you family more than you can imagine? Study the manual that gives you every solution to every problem that you face in life.
