Money plays a vital part in almost everything you do in life. If you don’t have enough money, you can suffer a lot of stress and worry. There are real necessities of life that cannot be obtained if you don’t have enough money. Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are things you can’t do without. If you don’t have enough money, you will find yourself in a lot of trouble.

But, just because you have enough money for the basic necessities of life doesn’t mean you have enough money. There are desires inside of you and pressures from the outside of you that push you into needing more money than what is needed for those necessities.

You need some kind of house to protect you from the weather and from bad people, but you feel a NEED for a house that is better than just a shack that shields you from the elements. You have to have adequate food; but you NEED food that tastes good, too. Clothing is a necessity of life; but clothes that make you feel and look good are very important too. A bicycle may be able to get you to work; but a car is better; and a nice car is even better than that.

There are things you owe money for that you haven’t paid for yet; these are known as bills. A lot of bills come from you spending money that you don’t have yet. These can be a house, a car, or a repair that isn’t covered by insurance. Some bills are a normal course of life. Your utility bills are created because you don’t know how much electricity or gas you are going to need for the month. So the utility company allows you to use their utilities and then pay for them after they have been used. However, some bills come from you buying something that you can’t pay cash for. They cost more money than you have on hand. Bills are the major cause of money issues and financial difficulties.

Jesus doesn’t need to help you find reasons for your financial issues; He can set you free without your life having to be perfect. The circumstances of your life can’t hurt you, once you experience the power of God’s healing. It is true that He will do a lot of great things with your circumstances; but, the main miracle will be what He does in your heart.

Mat 28:18 (NIV) Then Jesus came to them and said, “ALL authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Your struggles with money aren’t bigger that Jesus, His power, or His provisions. It is a simple thing for Jesus to heal you and set you free from anything you are dealing with.

You have probably already heard that “nothing is impossible with God” (Luke 1:37). The big issue is, what do you have to do to get Jesus’ help? If you went to a hospital, clinic, rehab program, or most any other place for helping people with their problems, most of the responsibilities would be on them for making you well. However, Jesus has a goal for you that you may not be aware of.

Mat 11:28 (NIV) Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Jesus wants to help; He has the power to help; so, what is the problem? You need to spend some time with Jesus and allow Him to help you understand what the hold up is, what is keeping it from being solved, and what the process is for you being healed of these issues with money. What is most difficult is the nature of you having a struggle. The problem itself is bad enough; but, the way it is able to dominate you and change a lot of you life make it seem very powerful. What Jesus wants you to learn is, He is much more powerful. And, He wants to help you to be powerful through Him.

Eph 6:10 (NIV) Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Jesus has a plan for you where you not only learn how to handle this issue, He wants to train you and empower you to win over all issues. He wants to develop a relationship with you where you work together with Him. He will train you how to yield to His power and provisions until you are a skilled, trained, experienced, and mature child of God. Everyone goes through similar problems like yours; but, too many of them don’t join Jesus and get life-training. You really aren’t on this planet to just learn how to be a human, you are here to learn how to be dynamic as a child of God.

Jesus offers you the solutions to all of these problems and consequences. But, the big thing He wants you to learn is, you and He can easily defeat them. It is just that you haven’t put as much effort in your child of God training as you have your human training.
