(Matthew 6:25-33)

***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: God will give you wisdom and favor in the handling of your finances. Seek His counsel and He will guide you in those decisions.

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, You own the cattle on a thousand hills, all of the gold and silver is Yours. I stand on the promises in Your Word that You will meet my daily needs. Please give me wisdom and favor in handling my finances and let me be a good steward of the funds You entrust into my care. In the name of Jesus I pray…AMEN! *Salvation message from Ground Zero: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqZ9oaqJNJg

***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: 3 flashing neon signs regarding the disastrous Biden economy. First, apx. 15,000 cars are being repossessed across the nation every day. THAT IS HALF A MILLION CARS PER MONTH!!! Unless you live in a big city with public
transportation, having a car is essential to daily life! Think about this for a moment. I assume after paying rent or mortgage, buying food, paying utilities, the next most critical payment most people have is their car note. Repo companies report that they are currently doing 3-4x their normal business. When people aren’t able to pay for such an essential daily need like their car, that tells you just how bad the overall economy is. Second, the major cell phone companies report that delinquent and unpaid cell bills are at an all-time high. More people than ever are paying their cell phone bill late, and more people than ever aren’t able to pay their cell phone bill at all! Over the last 20 years, the cell phone has become a critical tool in the daily lives of most people. It is not just how we communicate via a call or text, but many people have their entire lives on their phone. From banking and other financial applications, to email, to the news of the day, to enterta! inment, to
social media, to many people’s employment, the cell phone has become a critical tool in the daily lives of hundreds of millions of people. Not being able to pay that critical bill is once again a sign of just how bad the overall economy is! Third, is the trucking industry. The trucking industry gives us a great insight into the economy since virtually every product we consume at some point was on a truck. Currently, there is a drop off in packages on trucks greater than we have seen since the financial crisis in 2009. UPS is reporting their revenues will be down for the first year since 2009. As orders decrease, so does the shipping of packages. This is all due to the economic slowdown across all facets of our economy. Cars being repossessed at a record rate, people unable to pay their cell phone bill on time or at all, and the greatest slowdown in shipping packages over the past 14 years, these are all flashing neon signs regarding the disastrous Biden economy that he and! his
administration continue to gaslight the country daily calling it “the greatest economy in history!”

Every day I get a breakdown, by category, of the 40,000+ prayer requests we receive here at Liveprayer. The top three each day are always health, relationships, and finances. These three issues transcend age, ! race,
nationality, and financial status. They are the common bond all men who live this life share. Everyone deals with health issues at some point in their life. Everyone deals with relationship issues at some point in their life. Everyone deals with financial issues at some point in their life. I have dealt often with the health and relationship challenges we all face, and today I want to focus on finances.

Money is a necessary part of living this in this world. We must have money to survive. The Bible has lots to say about money. I rarely recommend resources but for those struggling in this area of your life or simply looking to be better stewards of your money, I would look into getting anything written by the late Larry Burkett, a man God blessed with incredible wisdom to teach people what the Bible says about money and finances; and a dear friend, Dave Ramsey, another man God has raised up in this day to teach people the Biblical truths regarding finances. Burkett went! to be
with the Lord in 2003, but the financial counsel in his books are just as true today and available at bookstores as are Ramsey’s.

I want to focus today on where you are financially right now. Many who read this are not having any problems with their finances, while others are struggling. Some people have been blessed with a tremendous abundance of resources and other people have virtually nothing. Regardless, if you find yourself today with a surplus of money or without any at all, never forget that it is God who is your source and it is God who supplies your every need throughout this life. God knows and understands the basic necessities of life like food, shelter and clothing.

Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” The original Greek of this verse says that our number one goal in life is to be a member of God’s Kingdom and be perfectly holy, in God’s sight, just as He is. WOW! Th! at is
powerful and puts in perfect perspective what our true goals in this life are-to be a member of God’s Kingdom and be perfectly holy in God’s sight.

However, tying into today’s message on finances is an incredible truth from God’s Word found in this verse that many people miss and never connect. The end of Matthew 6:33 says, ” . . . and all these things will be given to you as well.” What things? The necessities of life that were spoken about in the preceding verses, food, shelter, and clothing. What God is saying is that if you will seek Me, seek My Kingdom, seek My righteousness, I’m going to take care of your day-to-day necessities of life. God is saying to you today, “Be about My business and I’ll be about your business.”

I love you and care about you so much. I want to encourage you and pray for you today. For those of you who God has blessed financially, never forget that to whom much is given, much is required. For those of you who are facing great financial
obstacles in your life today, now is the time to make your faith real and trust that God will provide as He promised in His Word. Even if you don’t have great financial wealth, you are still accountable to God for what He does bring into your hands, so be faithful with what He provides.

Whatever we have in this life has been given to us by God and belongs to Him. We are simply stewards of what He has put into our care. I pray that you will seek the Lord and get His wisdom and discernment in how you can always be a good steward of the resources that He has entrusted to you. God wants to use you regardless of the amount of money you have to be a blessing to others. The Bible has much to say about the care of the poor. We immediately think of the poor as being those who have no money, but this also includes the spiritually poor, those people who are living without the hope and love of Christ in their life. Everyone can do something with what God has given you to be a bles! sing to
those who are financially poor as well as those who are spiritually poor.

I want to pray a prayer of blessing over your finances. “Father, I pray, today, for each person who is reading these words. You know exactly where they are at today financially. I pray that whatever they have today is multiplied many times over in the coming weeks and months. Bless them in the area of their finances, Father, so that they may not only care for their day-to-day needs of those they are responsible for, but so that they may feed the poor around the world, those who are materially poor as well as those who are spiritually poor. I pray, today, a prayer of BLESSING on the finances of the person reading these words. Whatever we have in this life comes from you and is yours Father. May we be faithful in managing what you have given to us. Multiply many times over what you have currently given to the person reading this word today and allow them to be a great blessing to the work of God th! roughout
the world. I pray BLESSINGS over the finances of the person reading these words today for the glory of Almighty God. In the name of Jesus. Amen!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
