Where Is Your Treasure?

There is plenty of money; it is just in the wrong hands.

The word mortgage means: death grip.  How many of you are currently enslaved by death’s financial grip?  This should not be.  However, the current system promotes a continuous grip on your finances by wooing you to buy newer, bigger, better, etc., appealing to your fleshly and/or soulish appetite.  For many believers, it is out of ignorance of The Word that causes them to walk according to the world’s system of borrowing enslavement.  FATHER has no mortgages in Heaven for HE is the source of wealth.

Wisdom wrote by The Holy Spirit in Proverbs chapter 22:

7  If you borrow money with interest, you’ll end up serving the interests of your creditors, for the rich rule over the poor.

The borrower is servant to the lender, a sad reality.  As long as you make your payments to them, they will treat you well.  On the other hand, they will use the current laws to throw you out of your house if you fail to make those payments by foreclosing on your house, sending the sheriff to enforce the action.  This is not FATHER’s way of doing business and it should not be your way either.

What if all the believers embraced the revelation of being debt free and manifested it in their lives?  The banks would no longer pay those obscene bonuses to their executives at the expense of others.  How much money does a person really need to enjoy life?  The adversary wants people with money to hoard it rather than distribute to the necessities of other. 

Jesus spoke a parable.  This is taken from the Combined Gospels of Love:

JESUS TELLS “THE PARABLE OF THE “BARNS”

One of the people listening to Jesus teach in the Temple asks Him if He will “speak to my brother” in order that his brother will divide his inheritance with him.  Jesus tells the man that He did not come to be a judge or a divider over the people.  He also warns the man to beware of covetousness, for a man’s life does not revolve around the things that he does or does not own. To demonstrate this wisdom, Jesus provides the man and those gathered before Him in the Temple with a parable.

Luke 12:13-21And one of the company said unto Him, “Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.”  And He said unto him, “Man, who made Me a judge or a divider over you?”  And He said unto them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness for a man’s life consisteth not in abundance of the things which he possesseth.”  And He spake a parable unto them saying, “The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully.  And he thought within himself saying, ‘What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits.’  And he said, ‘This I will do.  I will pull down my barns and build greater and there I will bestow all my fruits and my goods.’  And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years.  Take thine ease.  Eat, drink and be merry.’  But God said unto him, ‘Fool. This night thy soul shall be required of thee.  Then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?’  So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

The lesson provided by Jesus in the parable is perfectly clear. The treasures that we “lay up” for ourselves are meaningless. The treasures that have value are those that are laid up for God. If our treasures are not “rich toward God,” we will be considered a “fool,” and the Lord may very well “require” our soul “this very night.”

Jesus gave us a warning in the parable: So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.

Once you are out of debt, you are able to minister to those in need in a greater manner without the burden of “death’s grip” put on you by lenders.  Your Love and joy increase.  Where your treasure is so is your heart.
