The research also revealed that there is no amount you can make or save that cannot be lost. Is that not scary? The fear of a financial future is major for a lot of people. So how can we banish financial fear? How can we be free from financial worries in a world that is highly financial and how do we live without financial fears or financial worries? There is hardly anything you will do these days without spending some <!--more-->money. So God is going to teach us how to completely banish financial fear.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.\u201d<\/em> If you check from time immemorial, now and in the future, you will never find the righteous financially forsaken or their seed begging for bread. I know that in the Scriptures there was the widow that was begging for bread. In fact, her children were about to be sold into slavery. Is this a contradiction? There are some truths you and I need to know. And there are some actions you and I need to take. So what are the truths that we need to know to banish financial fear from our lives forever?<\/p>\n<p><u>It is unreasonable<\/u>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/116\/MAT.6.25\">Matt.6:<sup>25<\/sup> <\/a><em>&#8220;\u2026I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or \u00a0drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life <u>more important<\/u> than food, and the body <u>more important<\/u> than clothes?&#8221; [with emphasis].<\/em> Jesus says it is unreasonable to worry about your financial future. Life is more important than money! To worry is unreasonable.<\/p>\n<p>Erroneously, people believe they would be happier <em>if<\/em> they had more money. Some couples think their marriage would be happier <em>if<\/em> they had more money. It is a big fat lie! Money is an amplifier. Whatever challenges you have right now will escalate with more money. If the man is proud, when he has a lot of money what do you think will happen? If the woman has a sharp mouth what happens when she has a lot of money? If you do not deal with the issues in your marriage, money will only amplify them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Prayer<\/strong>: Holy Spirit, I declare that my life is much more than what I own.
