Chapters
Listen, I don't make business decisions. There's a complete reliance on God to handle my problems. For real, for real, not for fake, for real. He really does actually have to make it happen in a way where I cannot see it. Like when I couldn't see myself paying rent, I was like, bro, I don't know what— I've just accepted it. I'm going to get evicted. It's going to be on my record. I'm probably going to have to move in with my brother or my parents for a couple months. I have to get a job after losing $5.2 million and 46 employees and not having any experience on my resume. I got to go do it and figure it out by the grace of God. I had to come into agreement and terms with that in my mind and still worship God. Even I don't care, even though knowing the entire time the Bible says that he gives you the ability to get rich. I have the skill set to do it, and there's other people that are unsaved making money. I am going completely broke, inhibited by the hand of God to train me, to train me in things that nobody else can understand. The anointing, the anointing of finance kingdom building, not you being able to freaking put up a website, okay, and put up a trading journal. And make a trade. That's easy. The crushing of the spirit, the school of the spirit, is the thing that a lot of you are missing. You have no character and integrity. You fold when things come up, and you come against God, which— hey, man, bro, the Bible says that he died for your sins and that you're going to be imperfect. We all know that. Like, that's the truth. But why not try to get better? Because you love him. Because you love who he is. You love the fact that he is willing to be patient with you. Why can't you just change? Why can't you make that decision and default to God and be like, you know what, I'm not gonna take that new business until I get a confirmation from God?
