MAKING CHANGE: STRESS IS BAD

financial stress is actually a bad thing.

- Your money assists you in living into the things that God calls us to and gives us grace to produce.Your Money is to be used to assist you to live into the freedom of Jesus Christ, not a tool to drive you away from Christ. (Galatians 5)

Know this!

-God did not give us money to let money guide our lives.

-God did not give us money to be insecure, hopeless, helpless, embarrassed, or overwhelmed.

-God gave us money to build his kingdom.

-God gave us money to have joy.

-God gave us money to glorify God.

Christ didn’t die for you to be free from some things, He died for you to be free from all things.

Pray about it (debt) when you can so you don’t have to pray about it in need.

I want you to write down approx how much debt you have.

No matter how large.

Ok say this with me.

God. Can. Handle. That.

Remember A mustard seed of Faith moves mountains. Not a mountain of faith moves seeds.

THREE PRAYERS TO PRAY WHEN GETTING OUT OF DEBT

1 - God Give Me Self Control - Proverbs 25:28

Learn to say no for a little while so you can say Yes for the rest of your life

2- God,, give me Understanding - Hosea 4:6

Whoever is faitfhul with a little, God will Trust with more.

Your money doesn't control you, you control your money.

Never allow Lack to cause you to lust, let lack allow you to lean in to your desires

3 - God give me a plan – Proverbs 21:5

You can wander into Debt, but you won’t Wander out.

TALK IT OVER

Take a minute to write down your three greatest financial stressors. How are they holding you back?

What are a few things you can say no to?

Better one Handful with Tranquility than Two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind. -Ecclesiastes 4:6

Write down in your notes Three things that matter to you

Define What Matters To You

When Is the last time you invested in what matters to you?

1. CUT BACK - John 15:1-5

Life is Not about an Abundance of Stuff

2. CLEAR OUT - 1 Corinthians 10:5

My Life is not about the Abundance of My Possessions.

3. PAY OFF - Phil 4:6-9, 1 John 5

Quit Living on a Tightrope. Fall into the Security of God’s Promises

Talk it over:

If you lost all your stuff tommorow, how would you feel? Why?

What’s a doable starting point for cutting back, cutting back, and clearing out? What one thing in each area will you do this week to make progress?
