WAR:Personal Financial Success Now!  (Oral Roberts...)

   A summary of a video cassette from Oral Roberts University School Of
Business

   What are the steps we must take to gain personal financial success?

   (1) You've got to have a vision for your life.

   (2) Translate that vision into a workable plan.

   (3) Acknowledge the fact that all the money in the world belongs to
GOD.

   (4) Repent of your obnoxious behavior with God's money.

   (5) Agree, take this debt and pay it off.

   (6) Resolve not to borrow anything else.

   (7) Get to the root of your problem.

   What is the underlying problem?

   Many people do not tithe.

   If you tithe, God will rebuke the devourer for your sake.

   Recognize, God will Bless your giving, but He cannot control our
spending.

   Therefore, we agree to reduce our spending.

   So, We set up a budget:

   Income Expenses Balance

   ------ -------- -------

   Income - Expenses = Your Position!

   Are you in the RED?

   Only 2% of the people over 65 are financially independent.

   Are you willing to be a part of that statistic?

   Therefore, set up this Priority table of Expense Allocation.
(writing checks)

   1. GOD Tithe - 10% of your Gross Income Should go to GOD. God
doesn't need our tithe to function. GOD wants to see our obedience to
HIM. He wants 10% of the FIRST FRUITS. When we START with GOD, we enact
the Supernatural.

   (Ask yourself, How do I want my Blessings? Of course you say, "I
want mine from the First Fruits.")

   2. YOU - Do not use percentages. Percentages make this dogmatic. Get
out an envelope, write on it, "US", "Matthew 18:19".

   Start by putting in $5.00

   Once the Envelope contains $100.00, take it to a Savings Account.

   Once the Envelope contains an additional $500.00, put that into a 3
month CD.

   Once the Envelope contains an additional $500.00, put that into a 6
month CD.

   Once the Envelope contains an additional $500.00, put that into a 1
year CD.

   This way you build up an emergency account where $500.00 is
available every three months.

   3. They. - Now you pay your monthly bills. You pay they.

   On expenses:

   Go to the ANT ... consider her ways and be wise. Provide her meat in
the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. (Proverbs 6, 6 & 8)

   Most people buy using their EYES, Fewer yet buy using their HEAD;
Still fewer yet buy using their HEART.

   There is no sense in carrying a FULL balance on a credit card so as
to then incurr all those high interest charges.

   Therefore, list all your debts in reverse order of size. Then decide
to pay that debt which is smallest first, then continue chopping away
at the debt PIE until it is all gone. Sooner than you think, that PIE
will disappear.

   ==> If you are in Bondage, you are in Sin.

   Get out of Bondage.

   Turn your life around! Don't let the Devil get you! Let God, turn it
around for you!

   GLORY!

   To Summarize:

   Personal Financial Success begins with discipline and determination.

   Define your success in God's terms.

   Through God:

   (1) Find a vision for your life (2) Translate this vision into a
working plan. (3) Define a budget (4) Determine to stick to it!

   How, you ask, do I talk to God about my problems?

   The Answer:

   (1) In prayer and in Supplication and Thanksgiving to our Lord God,
ASK and it shall be given to you, SEEK and you will find, KNOCK and the
door shall be opened unto you!

   (2) Upon doing this, God will open the doors to the Supernatural. He
or She that asks, recieves. He or She that seeks, finds. He or She that
knocks, gets that door opened.

   READ ==> Matthew 18:19, Phillipians 4.

   Seek God for help in all aspects of your life. God loves you more
than you know or comprehend. Only through communion with God through
prayer can we begin to learn the depths of God's love for us.
