As we begin this teaching, I’m going to make two bold, but scripturally accurate statements.

First, your income is in direct correlation to your giving. 

In the Thesaurus, the word correlation also means connection.  So let me say the statement a little differently.

"Your income is a direct connection to your giving."

I’ve said this next statement numerous times before. . .but I’m going to keep teaching it until it becomes as natural to us as the air we breathe.

Every day there’s a least one new book published with the secret of how to become rich.

What is the most communicable disease in the world today?

Your thoughts….

Proverbs 23: 7 says:

For years, I’ve taught that a debt free mentality….is not determined by where you work, where you live, what you drive, what you wear or who your parents are.   Your mentality is not determined by how smart you are but by the dominant thoughts in your mind.

Like a magnet, your thoughts will draw to you the people and circumstances that harmonize with your dominant thoughts.

One of the biggest reasons many Christians don’t enter into the fullness of God’s Word is that they read it as a spectator.

No doubt finding it fascinating as a collection of people, stories, miracles and events. . .but it’s much more.
