In September we are focusing on Financial Stewardship...becoming great stewards who manage, multiply, and greatly increase all that God has entrusted to us.

Proverbs 8:18 says, with me(God and Wisdom) are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.

Part of stewarding well is having the longer term in mind. There are many people who have come into a lot of money, only to lose it all a few years later. But God has enduring wealth, that lasts. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that with God and Wisdom are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity. And we are asking Him to help us steward in a way that endures.

We also want results in our health and fitness that last. It's also pretty common to see people make progress in their health or fitness and then fall of the wagon. We create lasting results by taking a gentle approach that builds our body over time so that the results last. 

I am praying for you.

In my book "Pockets of Prosperity," one of the concepts is that in all of the different areas of life we need a personal breakthrough that progresses into the community so that it benefits others. But, often for this to happen there are some giants to take down. 

There can be financial giants in the way of us stewarding well. These can be limiting beliefs, opposing forces, or tough circumstances. 

To take down these financial giants we must learn to keep resting and trusting in God, even when we have pressure. Eventually HE will create the breakthrough, because we can't do it on our own. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us take down any financial giants we may be facing.

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle Update.

We are in the 40 Days of Teshuva. Teshuva = turning or repenting. This is an amazing time of year for answered prayer and making adjustments. 

These 40 days are a reminder to make adjustments and course correct any areas that are off track. 

Acts 3:19 says, Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.

When we repent and make adjustments it leads to refreshing from God's presence. This is a time of year when God wants to bring some refreshing or fresh energy to us. 

Here is this week's filter(reminder) to write at the top of our journals each day... Teshuva - Times of Refreshing.

I am praying for you.

In September we are starting a new focus with The Financial Stewardship Challenge...

We are focusing on becoming great stewards who manage, multiply, and greatly increase all that God has entrusted to us.

One of the keys to financial stewardship is protecting what God has entrusted to us, because love always protects.

As we look over what God has entrusted to us an important question to ask is... What risks are there in my finances?

Do you have insurance in place such as health insurance, car insurance, umbrella policies, life insurance, wills or trusts, business liability insurance, etc. 

Also, if you have businesses or ministries are they structured properly with the right kind of entities?

Let's take some time over the next week to analyze how well everything is protected, because love always protects. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God is love, and he always protects us. And we are asking for his help to show us how we can better protec...

 When I was writing my book 7 Dates With Jesus, there was a time when the word "Yield," kept jumping out at me for several days. And then one day I heard these words... Yield to the anointing for wealth. 

Yesterday God reminded me of this. The reminder came in the form of one of my daughters resisting my wife and I while trying to help her with her homework. She had the ability to get the homework done in just a few minutes, but she was fighting us on it and refused to do the work. 

She would not yield to the ability God placed within her and she was making life hard on herself. 

God has given us an anointing for wealth, but we must stop resisting it and fighting against it because we are often making life harder on ourselves. We must be willing to yield to...

Here is the replay from last night's zoom on the Financial Stewardship Challenge.

In September we are focusing on becoming great stewards who manage, multiply, and greatly increase all that God has entrusted to us.

Here is what we discussed last night...

• Part of stewarding with God is using our money according to His will... which is to do good, build others up, and build relationships. 
• Money is relational... We can't buy, sell, give, or receive alone.
• Jesus tells us to use money to make friends. 
• In all financial transactions (including giving), how we make people feel matters. 
• 4 Keys to finances are... Being decisive and taking action, staying in a rhythm with God and understanding money has a timing component, trusting God and becoming trustworthy, and paying attention to the flow of money. 
• Partnership is the table turner for finances. It takes the pressure off and makes everything easier. 
• If we get anything out of this challenge it should be to...

 An important key to stewarding finances is understanding the flow of money. There are several levels of financial flow to consider...

1. When people are fearful, they tend to hoard money and hang onto it which slows down the flow of money in the economy because money is relational. We must learn to keep circulating money out of faith and trust in God. 
2.  Cash flow is really important. We must learn to make financial decisions with cash flow in mind, and a big part of cash flow is the timing of when money is coming in and going out. 
3. The flow of money through our financial accounts or structure is also important. How can we set up the flow of money to provide for better accounting while also reducing liability and taxes. 

In today's communion we are asking...

Trust is one of the biggest keys to both finances and stewardship. All financial transactions require trust, and when trust is high money flows. When we exchange money with others, we want to know that they are going to do what they said, are skilled and knowledgeable, are not going to rip us off, and that they have good intentions. 

Part of our role in being stewards is becoming highly trustworthy... which means we need to keep our word, be highly skilled and knowledgeable, and have good intentions to be a blessing in all transactions. The more trustworthy we are the more money flows to us. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God is the ultimate example of someone who is trustworthy, and we can put our full trust in him. And we are asking for his...

Stewardship means we are managing God's resources, and he wants his will done with his resources. One of the tests I believe we must pass is learning to walk in love consistently even when people wrong us financially. Emotions are one of the strongest drivers of emotions for most people. If you mess with people's money, they will usually let you know pretty quickly.

But, as stewards of God's resources he has called us to a higher standard of walking in love consistently. When someone wrong's us financially, we can let it go and forgive, because we trust that God will make it right. 

In today's communion we are asking God for wisdom and understanding of why walking in love by trusting God is so important. And we are asking him to help us walk in this at highe...

Over the next month we are going to focus on becoming great stewards who manage, multiply, and greatly increase all that God has entrusted to us.

An important step in finances is to build some margin into our budget, where things are not so tight all the time. Something I have learned is that when we build margin into the budget, God's grace seems to flow. Margin allows you to handle the unexpected in a graceful way. 

In today's communion we are asking God to help us understand the connection between margin and grace. And we are asking for his help to build margin into our budgets consistently. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

We can also build margin into our workouts. Do your best and make your workouts beautiful but leave a little margin.

I am praying for you.
