Such behavior is typical for someone in the world. But as a believer, you’re not supposed to engage in it. Jesus made that very clear, He said: “Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things” (Matthew 6:31-32, "New King James Version").
As a citizen of heaven, you don’t receive things by worry and anxiety. That will bring you nothing but more trouble. What you want to do, when you find yourself under financial pressure and you need money to manifest supernaturally, is believe the Word and resist the devil.
How do you resist him?
Use the Word of God to exercise your authority over him. Tell him in no uncertain terms exactly what the Bible says about your situation. Say, “Devil, I rebuke you in Jesus’ Name. You will not put lack on me! My God will supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. He is my Shepherd and I shall not want.”
Don’t be nice about it, either. Think about how you’d talk to a mangy, old dog that got into your house. You wouldn’t say, “Oh, look. There’s a scroungy dog. He’s dirty. He has fleas and he’s lying right in the middle of my bed. What am I going to do? I guess I’ll have to call the church and ask them to pray.”
No! You’d get after that dog and give him what for. You’d take a stick to him and chase him off your bed and out of your house!
That’s how you should treat the devil. Don’t give him any place!
DON’T GIVE HIM YOUR WORDS BY SAYING NEGATIVE THINGS.
KEEP SAYING WHAT GOD SAYS UNTIL THE DEVIL CAN’T STAND IT ANYMORE AND RUNS FOR COVER.
A Financial Partnership With God
Another thing you’ll want to do to seek first the kingdom of God—or, as "The Amplified Bible" puts it in Matthew 6:33, to seek first “His way of doing and being right”—is tithe. Tithing is a very important element of supernatural prosperity. It’s one of the things that separates us, as believers, from the world.
