set free from all satan's shackles—spiritually, physically, emotionally and fi nancially—and separated unto God and His kingdom. Sin is not of God's kingdom. Sickness and disease are not of God's kingdom. Depression, failure and destruction are not of God's kingdom. Poverty and fi nancial lack are not of God's kingdom. I discovered years ago that I don't have to put up with even a twinge of fear about my fi nances. Even if the world's economy crashes, I can rest assured that I'll be well-supplied. Why? Not because of my fi nancial ability—I don't have any. I proved that before I got saved by going broke fi ve times by the time I was 30 years old. After I got saved, however, I found out what I do have. I have God's WORD. I have His bond. I have His everlasting Covenant, and Jesus Himself is the guarantee of every word of that Covenant. His life was poured out to establish it as true. He stood by faith on The WORD of God in the pit of hell, and it worked for Him. It overcame death itself, raised Him from the grave as a new creation, and set Him on high at the right hand of Almighty God, where He now reigns as King of kings and LORD of lords! If The WORD worked in hell for Jesus, it will work in your life and mine. Just as surely as it separated our spirits from sin and death, it will work in our bodies to separate us from sickness and produce health. It will work in our families, in our workplaces and everywhere else, to separate us from the curse and produce THE BLESSING of God. For it to do so, however, we must make a quality decision to put it fi rst place in our lives and make it our fi nal authority. In the area of fi nances, for instance, if you want to rise above the evil in the world and walk in fi nancial victory, you must believe and act on what the Bible says about money. You must trust God to be your source of supply, take an uncompromising stand on God's eternal WORD, and say, "I am on this WORD to stay and I will not back o from it. I will act and operate in accordance with it no matter what." That's not always easy. Gloria and I found that out when we realized The WORD of God says in Romans 13:8: "Keep out of debtandowe no man anything, except to love one another" (AMPC). When we found that verse, we had already made The WORD our fi nal authority. So we knew we were going to obey it. But at the time, committing not to borrow money anymore looked to us like the avenue to the poor house. How are we going to run a ministry without borrowing? we wondered. How are we ever going to be able to buy a house? We didn't know, but The WORD says, "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5). So, we trusted God and did what He said. We let His WORD separate us from debt, and we've been prospering and enjoying debt freedom ever since. Am I saying that borrowing money is a sin? No, just that it's not the way to experience God's fi nancial best. So why not go for His best? Why not fi nd out and do what He said in His WORD, not only about money but about every aspect of life? If you will get His WORD in your heart and act on it, it will set you free from anything and everything that would rob you of THE BLESSINGS Jesus has provided for you. It will separate you from old habits that have had you in bondage. It will separate you from unnecessary things that steal your time and energy and keep you from fl ourishing. It will separate you unto God so that you don't fall prey to satan's traps and temptations. It will separate you from all that steals, kills and destroys. Jesus said in John 8:31-32, "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." So set your sights on freedom. Put The WORD fi rst place and make it your fi nal authority. Let it separate you and make you victorious so that you can live a life so good, it's out of this world!
