How To Break Poverty Patterns Off Your Family Forever

What's up everybody? It's Rick Pino here from Get Wisdom. What if you could finally break free from poverty, from lack, from scarcity? And what if it was so efficient? What if it went so deep into the family lineage that your children never had to deal with it? That your children's children never had to deal with it? Well, guys, in today's training we're going to be talking all about how to do this. In fact, I'm going to be breaking down a very simple to follow four step framework exactly how my wife and I, my family and I broke free out of poverty, out of scarcity, and now into abundance and into the goodness of God. If you're ready for this, stay tuned. We're talking all about it today in the training. I want to submit to you one of the main reasons why so many of God's people stay broke. And I always say it like this. They say in patterns of poverty and cycles of scarcity. Why? Because most of God's people are more conflicted than they are convicted about what God says for you when it's in concern of wealth, prosperity and abundance. Right. For instance, one of the best ways to know what you actually believe about this subject is you need to start paying very close attention to your actions. Because here's what you need to understand. Okay, what we believe consciously we can articulate, right? But what we believe subconsciously, we demonstrate. What does that mean? Okay, if you believe something consciously, you can talk about it all day long till you're blue in the face. Oh yeah, I believe God wants us to be prosperous, I believe God wants us to be blessed, Etc, but you only actually believe it for real when it's in your subconscious and your actions actually demonstrate it. Like if you believe that you're a premium person, it's one thing to be like, I'm a premium person, but it's another thing to put premium gas in your car and only buy name brand groceries at the grocery store and only do things that premium people do. Like for instance, y' all best believe if there is a valet in front of where I'm trying to go, you best believe I ain't trying to go save another. You know, you know, I'm not going to try to go save 20 bucks to go find a parking spot. No way, man. I am going to be valeting my car. Why? Because I'm a premium person and my time is more important than money. And if I can just pay an extra 15, 20 bucks to save me five minutes of a headache, you best Believe I'm about to valet. I'm going to go try to park my car. Why am I saying all this, guys? And it's not about the car, it's not about the groceries. It's about your actions. It's about what you demonstrate. What you actually believe to be true is going to come out in your actions. Okay? And if you have the desire to break free from poverty forever, it's one thing to be like, we're gonna break free from poverty. It's a whole different thing to actually flesh this out and live this out to where now you can actually start moving away from the scarcity and the poverty more and more and more until you are so far away from it that it can literally never touch you or your family ever again. Real quick, today's training is brought to you by my upcoming five day Create and sell Digital Products challenge where I'm going to show you how to monetize your knowledge so that you can start getting paid for what you know. And maybe you're sitting here going, I don't know what I would say. I don't know what I would sell. I don't even know my niche. That's exactly why you need to consider joining me. Over the course of five days, I'm going to show you exactly everything you need to know on how to launch so that you can start building that new stream of income. Click that link down below. Tickets are currently on sale. Don't miss it. Now back to the training. So your actions point to your beliefs much louder than your words, you know what I'm saying? Like, like don't just be like, oh yeah, cool, we're, you know, I believe this. You know, God wants us to prosper. God wants us to be blessed. That's awesome. Let me see your actions. Let me see if you're actually, if you actually believe this by the way that you live, by the way that you act. Let me see if you actually believe that, that your potential, your God given potential is bigger than a number, it's bigger than a problem, it's bigger than, you know, a pickle or a crunch that you're in, right? Like, let's see how you live to see what you actually believe. And like I'm saying to you guys is one of the reasons why so many people stay broke, they stay in scarcity, they stay in poverty is because they say that they believe God wants them to be blessed and prosper, but they live in the old patterns of scarcity and broke mindset and poverty, et cetera. Right. They're always trying to like, you know, save a little money here, save a little money there. Like, if you're taking notes, write it down like this, okay? Instead of trying to focus on the bottom line, AKA saving your way to wealth, just focus on the top line. How can I make so much money? How can I bring so much value to the market and increase my income so much that I don't have to worry about how much anything costs? It's not a cost problem, it's an income problem. And these are the kind of things, these are the kind of mindsets, these are the kind of thought process and actions and they need to start manifesting in actions that we need to start moving into. If you truly desire to see poverty and scarcity broken off of your family forever. Okay, so let me ask you this question. Does God desire. And it's not a trick question. Does God desire. And let me see in the comments, okay. Does God desire for his children to be broke? Does God desire for his children to be poor? Does God desire for his children to be in lack. Let me see down in the comments. Like, what do you believe? Here's a better way to answer that question. If you're a parent, okay, Any parents in here, wave them in the screen like this. Parents. Okay, as a parent, do you desire for your kids to be broke? Do you desire for your kids to be poor? Living on the streets? Do you desire for your kids to be in so much poverty and so much disease because it like, oh, it's going to teach them a lesson. And if they're just living in the gutter, especially if you have the ability to help establish them and give them a better life than you have. So the question is, how much greater is God with his children? Like, I don't know about you, but I don't desire to see my kids, you know, kicked down in the gutter, like in so much poverty and lack and scarcity and, and they're in so much distress that they have disease and they've got dirt all over them and they're just like living in the gutter. Like, what? No, like, oh, no. You know, and this is the mindset whenever you're more conflicted than you are convicted about what God says as far as prosperity and abundance and wealth, etc. Okay, you. Sometimes you're like, well, it depends. Sometimes God wants to humble you. Really? Like as a parent, like, do you want to humble your child by making them live in the gutter and like, you know, go begging for scraps and Wearing rags, Like, is that going to teach them something? Like, no, man, there's a way better way to do it. And if that's in my heart for my kids to never want to see them in that position, how much greater God the father with his kids. Okay, this is where it all starts, guys. You've got to become more convicted then you are conflicted. If there's any area, any zone in your life, in your thought process, both in your conscious belief and in your subconscious belief that God desires for you to not be broke, to sorry for God, if there's any area in your conscious or subconscious where you think God desires for you to be broke, to be punished by being in lack or scarcity because it keeps you dependent upon him, then it's broken, right? You have a broken belief system. Like, trust me, right now, I have so many people all the time like, oh, Rick, you know, as a business person, as a millionaire, you don't have to believe, you don't have to trust God anymore. Really. Like, go start a business and you come back and try to talk to me about believing God. You go try to start a business or you go get entrusted with some finances and then come back to me and, and talk to me about faith. Like walking by faith. See, because broke people's idea and mindset about living by faith or like trusting in God is like, you have to believe God. Like I'm just here in the, in the gutter and just hopefully God's going to drop me a morsel, right? That's not God's best for them, right? Living by faith is. We are kings and queens, we are sons and daughters. And how in the world can we extend and expand his kingdom on the earth and do it in a way that brings him glory and is righteous and it's just. And it's ethical and it's right and it brings so much glory to the father that he's like, man, you did an amazing job. You were entrusted with little. Now I'm going to give you more. Like, that's the abundant, that's the wealthy, that is the son or the daughter, where the orphan is like, oh, I'm just, I'm just living in the gutter. I just hope God's going to bring me another morsel. Stop it. Okay, so you've got to become more convicted and not conflicted around God's desire for you to be wealthy. Is everyone tracking with me? If you're tracking, shout. I'm tracking, I'm tracking, I'm tracking down in the comments. Okay, like, here's a question you need to consider. When you look and see all the poverty in the world, all the lack, all the suffering, all the disease, all the struggles, are you looking at God's will or are you looking at the enemy's will? It's not a trick question, man. Poverty is never a reflection of the intent of the maker, because everything God creates everything. Like in the Genesis, every single thing that God created, he blessed. Okay? Consider that. So poverty isn't a reflection of the intent of the maker. Poverty is a reflection of the intent of the manager. Are y' all getting this? Are y' all getting this? Like, when you look around the world and you see poverty, lack and disease and struggle and scarcity, that is not God's best. That's not God's will. God's will is for his children to learn how to actually become stewards with this stuff called wealth, with riches, with abundance. And to not be so religious about this and not be so brainwashed by, like, well, the less we have, the more holy we are. Wrong. That's not how this works, okay? God desires for you to be entrusted with more and more and more and more and more. And if you could be a good steward in this level, then he's going to give you more. And then if you can be a good steward in that level, and then he's going to entrust you with more until eventually, guess what? You learn how to rule and reign with him. Because I don't know if you all know this or not, but every single thing that's going on in this age right now is simply training for the age to come. Like, I know everybody here thinks that, like, well, God just wants us to be so broken in so much poverty and so much lack and so much scarcity, so much disease, because it'll just keep us humble. And then all of a sudden, like, boom, at the end of the age, now we're going to be kings and queens and know how to run everything. No, you're not. I don't have time to get into it because I want to give you guys these four steps. But in Luke's account of the Parable of the Talents, okay, something so fascinating, I hope you guys are writing notes. Okay? Luke's account of the Parable of Talents says it like this. Okay? You guys know the story in the Parable of Talents, to one he entrusted one talent. To one he entrusted two talents. To one he entrusted five talents. If I had time, I don't have time right now. I'll just Give you a very quick breeze over it. These talents were not like charismatic talents. Like, oh, you're good at juggling. You have a cool talent. I'm not talking like I can sing and dance. Like, that's not the talent. The Bible literally says they were talents of gold. The master entrusts riches to these different servants of his. Okay? And here's the most incredibly mind blowing part about this. To me, there's so many layers of mind blowingness in this parable, okay? But it's so interesting because I don't have time to break it all down. But let me just, let me just give you one nugget from this story, okay? The one who he entrusted five talents to the master says something so interesting because remember the one who he entrusted five talents to, the Bible said he took the five and he went and turned it into ten talents of gold. Not like, I can sing and dance. I'm good at juggling. Like, you know, I'm really good at like hitting a baseball. I'm talented. No, it's literally talking about stewardship of riches and wealth and prosperity. And the interesting part is, is to the one he gave one, that one buried it because he was scared. Here, master, take your talent back. I didn't do anything with this richest thing. I didn't do anything with this money thing because I was scared. And I knew you were going to actually like require accountability from me. And everyone knows that you're a hard master. So here, just take it back. And the master looks at the one with one who didn't do anything with it, who is scared to try to at least go multiply it. And he says, you wicked servant, I'm going to take what I gave to you and I'm going to entrust it to the one who knows what to do with these riches. So let's get back to the one with five. Okay? He goes to the one with five who turned it into 10 and he says, well done, good and faithful servant. Which is very interesting because a lot of times we think that the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous means that God is going to take money from the bad people and just give it to the good people. Are you kidding me? That would be the dumbest thing ever to, to like, if you are a wise king, like God, who is way wiser than any of us, any wise person would not be like, I'm going to take money from my person who's not a good steward. Sorry. I'm going to take money from, from someone who Hates me, who's not a good steward. And. And I'm going to entrust it to one of my people who's still not a good steward. No, a wise person is going to say who's the best steward that is connected to me. And whether you are my person or not, I'm going to entrust to the one who knows how to steward, who's not scared to go for it, who's not scared to multiply, who's not scared to learn these four steps I'm going to give you guys in just a few more moments so that they can never have to even see or touch or hear about poverty in their family ever again. So here's the punch I'm trying to get to with this, okay? The one with five who turned it into 10. Luke's account says something mind blowing to him, he goes to that, that steward and he says, well done, good and faithful. He says, because you've been faithful with little, I will entrust you now over 10 cities. Time out. Luke's account says for every talent that the steward was faithful over, See, it might just seem like a little talent to you, but God, we don't know how to do God's math, man. Everything that God entrusts to you, he's looking to see if they can be a good steward with just this little piece. It could potentially qualify you to be over a city. And you're here like worried about the price of gas, about the price of eggs. You're here like scared to go for in your business. You're here to scare. You're here scared to like, what if they tell me no? What if it doesn't work for me? Stop it, man. You're too con conflicted and you're not enough convicted about what God desires for you. So all of this to be said, okay, you need to first and foremost get your belief around prosperity, abundance, wealth and riches, right? Especially as it concerns to God's relation to you, okay? As you begin to grow these beliefs, they're not just going to be manifested through your words in your conscious mind. They are going to be manifested in your actions through your subconscious mind. Okay? Your actions will back up what you believe. Okay, so how do we get there? The first thing we gotta do is we gotta understand, we gotta believe. We gotta get it deep down on the inside of us that nothing good ever comes from poverty. Nothing good ever comes from poverty. As a believer, the only person that wants you poor is the devil. Period. Like, think about this. The devil's worst nightmare like the enemy's worst nightmare is when God's children learn to steward and manage real wealth and get a real vision for generational blessing. Like the world will not change until the right people have the resources it takes to enforce God's will and his purposes into the earth. And if you are still under the false lie belief system that God wants you broke to teach you a lesson, then my friend, unfortunately you are still under the brainwashing of the enemy to keep you exactly where he wants you so that you don't actually rise up into the place of authority and power so you can actually release the dominion of the kingdom the way that God intends. See, because here's the punchline, guys, as someone who comes from nothing, I grew up American poor, okay? We grew up in a one bedroom apartment with roaches crawling all over us. A family of five. We grew up standing in line waiting at the soup kitchen because my parents couldn't afford it. My parents worked multiple jobs each. My dad worked at 711 at Blockbuster and was just picking up side hustles and gigs. My mom was working two jobs. I mean it was wild. We literally came from nothing. As somebody who comes from nothing and now God has entrusted a lot to, I can tell you this, nothing good comes from poverty. And the people who struggle in that place of lack and scarcity and poverty, I'm telling you this, they have a much, much, much harder time releasing the kingdom and doing the work of God into the earth because they're simply limited in resources. And because they're limited in their resources or all they can focus on is themselves, where's my next meal going to come from? How are we going to pay this bill? How are we going to blah blah, blah like scarcity and poverty? Get you self focused, man. When you step into abundance now, you're just like I'm telling you guys, when you get to a certain level of wealth and riches, it's not about another cool watch, another cool car, another cool vacation. It's about, oh my gosh, I have real options. God, what would you like for me to do with all this? Like you want to talk about living by faith? Broke people's version of living by faith is where can we get our next scrap from? Because it's rooted in an orphan spirit. But abundance, sons and daughters, right, Their version of living by faith is God. How would you, how would you help me steward, so that I can multiply, Multiply, multiply, multiply. Are y' all getting this? If you're getting this, drop some fire emojis down in the comments. Okay, like here's. Here's. And I'm going to give you the four steps. Let me just digress with this, okay? I want to just build a little bit of context for the concept here. Okay? Here's what you need to understand. We can talk about change. We can campaign for change. Listen, we can pray for change in the world, in the government, in politics, in finances, in media and arts, entertainment and education. We can. We can pray until we are blue in the face. We can campaign. We can talk about it, right? But until there is a transfer of wealth and until God's people learn how to steward that wealth, we will not see change at all. Period. Like many of the ambitions that you have were given to you by God because of his plan and his purpose. And they will require you to have access to and learn how to manage a significant amount of resources. That's why some of you listening to my voice right now, you feel an uncommon ambition for greatness. You feel an uncommon ambition for success that has more to do with his plan and his purpose than even your own understanding allows you to tap into right now. And here's the reality of it coming from somebody who knows, okay? There are going to be so many church people. I'm not talking about kingdom people. I'm not talking about authentic believers. I'm talking about church people who all the language they speak is religious churchianity. And all they can do is just church, church, church. They don't have an idea about the kingdom, okay? All these religious church people are going to come at you and they want you to feel guilty about that uncommon ambition. They want you to feel guilty about the desire. I can't explain it. I just have a desire to be wealthy. I have a desire to be rich. And. And I know that it's bigger than me just trying to buy another nice, cool thing. There's something on the inside of me that has this uncommon ambition for wealth and riches and prosperity that I know is bigger than my own life. And these religious church people, okay, again, not kingdom people. And I'm not talking about local church. I'm talking about. You all know who I'm talking about. I'm talking about religious pharisee. Church people are going to try to come at you and. And get you, try to make you to feel guilty about this. But the Father wants you to figure this thing out because he desires for you to be an extension of his greatness, of his goodness, of his generosity, of his power, of his authority and his kingdom. In the earth. Why is it important for God's people to learn how to steward wealth? Because, and I hope you're taking notes and I hope you write this down because this is a big one right here. Why is it important for you as God's people to learn how to steward wealth? Because money is a tool that takes on the character and the intent, the one who manages it. A lot of broke people tell you, oh, money changes you. No, it doesn't. Money exposes you. Money makes you more of a version of who you are. Now, if you are greedy with nothing, guess what? Money's gonna make you even more greedy. If you are generous with nothing. When you have money, you're just gonna be super generous. Like money, literally, it exposes and expands who you actually are. Money in itself is neither good or bad. Money is simply a tool that takes on the character and the intent of the one who holds it, the one who stewards it, the one who manages it. So let me ask you a question. If you were the devil, would you rather have your people be entrusted with resources and riches and wealth and prosperity to do the bidding of your evil will in the earth, or would you rather have God's people be entrusted with stewardship and wealth and riches and prosperity to extend God's kingdom in the earth? No wonder why. No wonder why there is such a twisted lie around the subject of prosperity, wealth, abundance, riches, finances, etc. In the Church. Because of course, the enemy doesn't want God's people to learn how this works. But the enemy made a mistake when he tried to start messing with me. Because guess what? I'm going to shout it from the rooftops, baby. I'm going to teach my people how to do this. Because guys, God has such a gigantic plan and purpose and I don't know if y' all knew this or not. It's way bigger than four walls in a ceiling on a Sunday morning. I love four walls in a ceiling on a Sunday morning. But it's way what God desires to do on this planet is way bigger than that. God desires to raise one up and bring another down. God desires to shake infrastructures and shake and re establish governments and. And God desires to shake media and he wants to shake the church and he wants to shake education and he wants to do all of this. And none of it's going to happen if you're just living in the gutter waiting for your next scrap. Oh dear God, please save me and rescue me now. Are y' all getting this? Are y' all Tracking. If you're tracking, let me know in the comments. Say I'm tracking. I'm tracking. I'm tracking. Okay, so now that we've kind of laid a little bit of a foundation here over the past few moments, okay, I want to give you guys four steps, okay? Four steps on how to break the cycle of scarcity and the pattern of poverty off of your family forever. Are y' all ready? If y' all are ready, If y' all are ready, drop a one in the chat. If you guys are ready for step number one. Number one, We've talked about this a little bit, okay? Get your belief right, Get your belief right. Around God's desire. To see you prosperity. Because I'm telling you this right now, it's going to be really, really hard for you to prosper. It's going to be really, really hard for you to become a millionaire. It's going to be really, really hard for you to actually break free financially if you have an internal conflict. If God wants you to actually have that or not. The book of James tells us a double minded man is what, unstable in all of his ways. If you can say out of this side of your mouth, I believe God wants me to be wise. But then out of this side of the, out of your mouth you're like, but I don't know if he wants me to be like prosper. I don't know if God wants me to be rich. I don't know like how. What was one of the first things that had to happen with my wife and I in order for us to actually become rich? We actually had to start believing that God desired for us to be rich. Like as a man thinks in his heart, as a woman thinks in her, so he is. If you believe God desires for you to be wise, then you also need to understand that wisdom. In Proverbs chapter 8, 8, verse 18, wisdom has sidekicks. Their abundance, their prosperity, their enduring wealth. Like if you desire, if you know God desires for you to be wise and if you get wisdom, wisdom is going to bring all of this prosperity and riches and, and enduring wealth with her. I don't know. I don't know if God wants me to be rich. Really. Like, you're double minded. You believe one thing in your conscious mind and you believe a different thing in your subconscious mind. Your words don't line up with your actions. No wonder why your finances are unstable. Because a double minded man or woman is unstable in all their ways. So before you can step into financial abundance, you need to settle one thing in your heart right now. And that one thing is this. God desires to see you prosper. That's it. God desires like the father is good and he desires to not see his children living in the gutter with rags, begging for the next morsel. And you're in so much scarcity, so much poverty, like you can't even wash yourself, so you're getting diseased. Living in the gutter, that's not God's best. God desires to see you prosper. Too many people carry a false mindset that equates poverty with holiness, as if struggling financially is somehow more righteous. But the Bible repeatedly shows us that God delights in blessing his people not just spiritually, but in every area of our life, including finances. And don't have the mindset like, God's going to bless my finances. Someone's just going to come poof something into my lap. God's going to bless my finances. Some rich person is going to come, give me an offering. Stop it. That's not God's way. Could. Could God raise somebody up to bring it off and. Sure. But you know what's better? Growing in wisdom. Wisdom is always better than miracles, guys. Wisdom is always better than miracles. Wisdom is always better than miracles. The moment you believe this truth that God desires for you to prosper, the moment that you start getting your belief right around God's desire to see you prosperity, okay? The moment you stop making excuses for lack and you start positioning yourself for growth and stewardship and abundance is the moment that everything can begin to unlock for you. Okay, you're ready for number two. Drop a two in the chat. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's grow. Okay, so how do we get free from poverty, scarcity, lack? Number one, you gotta get your belief right. And not just your, I believe God wants me to prosper. And you say it with your mouth, but you don't live it in your actions. Okay? It's got to get deep down into your core, man, not just in your conscious mind, in your subconscious mind. You don't want to be unstable in all your ways. So stop having a double mind when it comes to this. Okay? Drop a two in the chat. Let's keep going here, guys. So now that you've got your belief right around, what God desires for you is as far as prosperity goes. Okay, what's the second thing you got to do? I'm glad you asked. This is actually where most people actually just. They're like, I think, I believe, and then they stop Right here. Don't let it be you. So now that you've got your belief right, what do you need to do to back up that belief? The second thing you've got to do, Second thing you've got to do, you must become financially literate. And eventually that literacy, you've got to grow it into fluency. What does that mean? Like, imagine this. Imagine if I were to be sharing all of these principles with you right now, and I was speaking Chinese, okay? Now, if you speak Mandarin, you'd be like, okay, that'd be awesome. But most people, I'm assuming, that are listening right now, you don't speak Mandarin. And could you imagine if I'm, like, dropping all these truth bombs and trying to give you a little bit of wisdom and I'm trying to feed you from the fruit of my lips? The fruit of wisdom, Right? But you had no way to understand it because you were not literate. You didn't understand the language. Then how effective is the information going to be to you if you actually don't know how to speak the language? Are y' all tracking? So guess what you need to do. You must, you must, you must, you must, you must, you must, you must purpose in your heart and set yourself in the place of discipline. To get financially literate, you've got to learn how taxes work. You've got to learn the difference between good debt and bad debt. You've got to learn what an asset versus a liability is. And you might be sitting here going, well, I know all that stuff. Okay, cool. You're literate, and that's awesome. That's a good start. But are you fluent? There's a big difference. See, I tell the story sometimes. When I was in high school, I took a Japanese class, and I know a little bit of Japanese words. Like, I'm a little bit literate. Like, if someone said hi, I could, like, have a cute little, like, hi, conversation, but I'm not fluent, right? And so most people, they stay stuck because if anything, number one, they're still financially illiterate. So there's no way that the information can be transformative for them because they don't even understand the language, number one. But number two, most people only stop at the very, very, very basics just to kind of like, you like, I kind of like, I can feel it a little bit in a dark room. Sort of like, if I feel around, I kind of feel my way around. Okay, you're literate, but you need to grow that literacy into fluency to where you can literally just Speak the language. And here's how you know whenever you're really fluent, you begin to dream in the language. I can't tell you guys and gals how many times I'm having dreams, and I am, like, in crazy. Like, I'm in a suit and tie. How many y' all would like to see me in a suit and tie. I'm, like, in a suit and tie. Like, you know, I'm at the cap table. I on, you know, the 50th floor in New York City in a financial building, and I'm signing documents, and I'm like, fluently speaking the financial literacy. Sorry, the financial language with all these different bankers and brokers, and I'm striking deals like I'm dreaming this. I want to position myself to where I don't just talk a little bit of the language. I'm not just literate. I'm fluent. I know how to speak the language. Because, guys, I'm telling you, the more you learn the language, the better you can understand the context and the concepts. If your kids don't know the difference between an asset and a liability, you're doing them a disservice right now because you're not teaching them the language. You're setting them up in the same patterns that kept you where you are. If you can't rightfully sit down with your children and teach them, here's how to budget. Here's how taxes work. Here's how credit works. My God, man. Like, there's. I'm shocked at how many people don't understand the credit game whatsoever. And I'm. Please hear me. I'm not coming down on you if that's you. I'm trying to encourage you. How did my wife and I get entrusted by God with tens and tens of millions of dollars is because we started positioning ourselves. Yes, we believe. But then our actions backed it up with actually trying to learn the language and now become fluent in the language. I know how credit works. I know how taxes work. I despise all of it. When I first started, it was overwhelming. It. It should as well. It might as well have been Chinese. I didn't get it. I didn't know it. But I applied myself, and now I speak the language. Like, think about it. You can't win a game that you don't even know how to play. How do you expect to win the financial game if you don't even know the rules because you don't even speak the language. Come on, man. We got. We got to get serious about this. Stuff. God's not just going to, like, magically poof. A miracle of, like, okay, you want to be a miracle? Some rich guy's going to give you a million dollars. Poof. Now you're a millionaire. Congratulations. Like, that's not how it works. Okay? Educate yourself about business, about real estate, whatever area you feel called to. Right. God will bless. If you're taking notes, write it down. God will bless what you steward well, but ignorance leads to waste. Period. Matter of fact, I should turn that into a proverb. That was a nice little proverb, I think there. God will bless what you steward well, but ignorance leads to waste, man. If you're ready for step number three, drop a three in the chat. Let's go. I'm trying to help y' all today. So now that you got your belief right, okay, now that you're becoming financially. Excuse me, Financially literate, financially fluent, what's the next thing you've got to do? Okay. The third thing you've got to do is this. You must. Change your state. I'm going to talk about this in a second. Okay. Not the state you live in. Okay. Change your state from disability to empowered ability. What does this mean? Change your state from disability to empowerment and ability. Okay. Your circumstances may have told you that you're limited, but that's not the truth. You are not defined by what family you came from. You're not defined by your past. You're not defined by your mistakes. You aren't defined. You're not even defined by your current struggles. The moment you shift your mindset and your state from I can't to I will, everything changes. God has given you. Listen, God has given you gifts. He's given you ideas. He's given you talents. Use them. Use them. You're not disabled. You're not like, oh, I can't do anything. I just. I'm in the gutter. I just need your help. Stop it, man. You need to understand, like, you're not just, like, in God. You're not just a conqueror. You're. You are more than a conqueror. Like, a conqueror is someone who overcomes. That's awesome. But we're not just people who overcome, man. We are supposed to dominate. I'm talking about, like, take Dominion, bro. Like, it's so funny. Like, I. I'm not going to lie. I walk into every single room like I own the joint. I know some people, like, they might mistake it as, like, oh, dude, that. That guy, he's. He's pretty full of himself. He's cocky. I'M not. I just know that that place that I just stepped into is psychotically blessed because I'm here, not because I'm anything special, but because I'm a conduit of the kingdom of God. And if God wants me to be generous, if he wants me to smile, if he wants me to give a tip, if he wants me to give a word, I am a representative of God's goodness, his love, his power, his kingdom. In that place, you best believe I'm walking in with my head held high like I own the joint because my father does my state, okay? The state that you are in is incredibly important. Too many people are walking around in the state of I can't. What if it doesn't work? This is so hard. Oh, my gosh, stop, bruh. Like, it takes no more energy to be an optimist as it does to be a pessimist. Like, change your state, man. You've got to understand, like, your circumstances, even your current struggles, even your current whatever, your current situation is not your final destination. Change your state. Because I'm telling this is not some new age, you know, like, oh, just. Just imagine it and it'll manifest. I'm not talking about the new age weirdness. I'm talking about when you begin to understand that you are seated with Christ right now in heavenly places. And if you are a son, then you are an heir. And if you are an heir, then you're a co heir with Christ, you best. I'm walking in every single place like I own the joint, bro. Because I'm not just there to, like. Like, I'm there to dominate. Not for me, not in an overlord kind of way. I'm there because, like, God's goodness is all around. I expect favor everywhere I go. I love treating people good. I love walking in smiling. What's going on, how you do it? Because the goodness of God is all over my life. And if I'm in that joint, then the goodness of God is all over that place too. I'll tell you a quick story. I remember years ago when I was in my missions and worship days and we were traveling all over the globe. I had a young man who used to travel with me. I had a lot of young men. My band, I had, like, there's probably five or six dudes that travel with me everywhere, but one of my assistants, this one time, okay, this young dude was traveling with me, and I was kind of raising him up in worship and missions and the ministry and blah, blah, blah. And he was so terrified of flying. And he was young. He hadn't flown much, and he was so scared of flying. And my gosh, bro, I remember one time we are heading out of Brazil, and if you've ever flown out of Rio in Brazil, it's beautiful, but there's all these mountains everywhere. And so getting out of Brazil sometimes, it's, like, can be a little bumpy because you're flying over mountains to get out of Brazil. One of the most gorgeous flights you can ever take, too, by the way. And we're climbing out of Rio, and it's, like, shaking like crazy, and peeps are screaming and this and that. And he's like. He's freaking out. He's looking at me like, are we gonna die? And I'm just sitting there laughing like, bro, this is so fun. Look how beautiful it is outside. He's, like, losing his mind. Okay, what if we're gonna die? This is. It's shaking and shaking. We finally get out of there, and we get to cruising altitude. We're good. Everyone's kicked back. And he leans over to me. He's like, bro, how are you not afraid of dying, bro? Like, that was crazy. And I just looked at him, I said, bro, this plane can't crash. I'm on the plane, bruh. Like, you ain't gonna die. You're with me, bruh. And today is not my day to die. So you better enjoy the ride. You better pretend like it's a roller coaster, because today is not my day to go, bro. And if I'm on this plane, then we good, brother. Like, guys, that's the state you got to walk in. You've got to understand who you are and whose you are. It's not about me. It's not about my ego. You just have to know who you are, man. And then number four, drop a four in the chat. If that's you, y', all drop a four in the chat. Is anybody getting help today? I'm trying to help you elevate your mindset, man, and learn how to break all this poverty junk off your life, off your family forever. Because any lack, any poverty, any scarcity, it's not God's best. You might be living in some of that, or some of that might be trying to touch you right now. It's only because of past decisions that you've made. But I'm telling you this right now. You can break the pattern right now. And it's not just about praying harder. That's awesome. I was praying for y' all this morning. Okay? My team and I, we pray for you guys and gals every single week, okay? It's. It's not just about praying harder. It's about doing these four steps. Change your belief around what God thinks about you prospering. Okay? Number two, you've got to actually start becoming financially literate so you can speak the game. You can't win the game if you don't know how the game is played. You got to learn the game. Okay? Number three, you've got to change your state from disability. I can't do it. Oh, what? To I'm empowered. Ability. I'm not just a conqueror. I'm more than a conqueror. In my finances, yes. In prayer, yes. In the church, but I'm telling y', all, in your money, man, in your finances. And number four, one more time, drop some fours in the chat if you guys are ready for number four and number four, okay? Now that we've changed our state, number four, is this. Change your status. Watch this. From being dependent. And I'm not talking about dependence on God. I'm talking about dependent on others. Change your status from being dependent on others. To becoming the one. Who gives generously. Imagine how powerful it's going to be for you when you stop sitting around waiting for the miracle. Oh, God, please just bring a rich person to just give me a big offering. What if you change your prayer from God, send a rich person to God? How can I become that rich person? So I can be the one who doesn't just need a miracle. I can become the miracle. Friends, this is changing your status, man. So many people, when they're in that state of I can't do it. What if it doesn't? They're in that state. They're in that state of disempowerment, then unfortunately, your state always leads to your status. And if you are walking in an empowered state, okay, where you know that you're a son or a daughter of the living God, where you know, man, I don't. I'm not leaning on my own understanding. I don't know exactly how it's all going to work, but I know it's going to work for my good. Like, if you walk in that state, it's going to elevate your status from being just dependent on others. I hope somebody gives me an offering. I hope someone bails me out. Oh, my life is a mess. Can someone please help me? Please stop. Change your status from being dependent on others, not God, on others, to becoming the person who can be one who rescues others. The Goal isn't just to escape financial struggle. Please hear me. The goal is not just to escape financial struggle. It's to reach a place where you can bless others abundantly. Whenever you're in that scarcity, whenever you're in that poverty, whenever you're in that lack, like I said earlier, all you can focus on is yourself. How am I going to get my next bill? I don't know how we're going to make it. Oh, what if it doesn't work? I'm so scared. You're in scarcity, you're in lack, you're in poverty. But when your state is changed, when your status is changed, when you go from oh, I need a miracle to I, God is going to use me powerfully to become the miracle. Now, it's not just about bailing you out of a financial situation. Now it's about reaching that place where you can bless others abundantly. But to do that, you must break free from a dependency mindset. Oh man, I just need somebody to come break me out. Oh, I'm not. And again, please hear me. I'm not talking about dependency on God. I'm talking about dependence. I need someone to give me an offering. I need someone to fix my mess. I need someone to blah, blah. Stop it. Stop. It's never going to happen for you if you're always dependent on somebody else to fix the problems that you created. Yes, you are the problem that got you here, but you are also the solution that can get you out of it. You got to change your status, man. You gotta change your status. Stop looking for someone else to rescue you and start building yourself up so you can become the rescuer. So friends, here's what I need you to understand today, okay? If you have the desire to break all the patterns of poverty and the cycles of scarcity off of you, your children and your children's children forever, you gotta start thinking differently, man. You've got to believe it. Not just with your words, with your actions. You got to start carrying yourself differently. You've got to start changing what you believe about. Does God want me to actually be prosperous or not? Does God actually desire that I would be wealthy or not? What does God think about that? Are you more conflicted or are you convicted about this? Are you double minded and that's why you're unstable? Or do you have a single mind around what God says to his people being raised up in prosperity? Or are you going to give yourself to become a good steward? Are you going to learn the language? Are you not just going to become literate? Are you going to become fluent? Are you going to take massive action? So if God decides to entrust you with one or two or five talents, you'll go quickly and go turn those and double those and triple those, and know that every single piece that God gives you, he expects for you to multiply it. Or are you just going to be like, oh, I just need someone else to just bail me out. I hope someone just give me an offering. I just need another miracle. Oh, God, please help friends. This is how you can get unlocked out of that place of patterns of poverty, cycles of scarcity. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for joining me.
