Breathing Room

Part 3 - Money

 

Breathing Room is the space between our current pace and our limits.

 

20 Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man devours it.

Proverbs 21:20

 

Who's running your life?

 

13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”

Luke 16:13

 

GOD VS. MONEY

 

19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

Matthew 6:19-20 

 

How do we create financial Breathing room?

 

What happens when you put God first in your finances?

 

1. You will experience God's blessings.

 

8 Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. 9 You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. 10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.

Malachi 3:8-10

 

2. When you put Him first in your finances, you will become supernaturally content.

 

16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble with it.

Proverbs 15:16

 

3. You will end up with more of what matters.
