Breaking the Financial curse

 

  • Genesis 3:14-19

And to Adam he said,

“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
of which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
cursed is the ground because of you;
in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
for you are dust,
and to dust you shall return

 

More deaths on the planet have occurred due to this verse.

Communism (0ver 100 million deaths in the last 100 years), Dictators, Genocide (Armenian and Jewish Holocaust were due to money, not race), Political rivalries, Slavery ( you circumvent the curse by not paying your laborers)

Utopians (Obama, and many other world leaders.

This curse came from God, not Satan.  He cursed the ground, not you.  He partners together with you to help you overcome.

We need to stay with our call to fund the Gospel.  Those who are called into ministry should stay there.  Those in Business should stay and expand!
