Pride, Poverty and Gratitude by Dave Ramsey

9/7/2015

Dave Ramsey reminds us that money is not the root of all evil, but rather the love of money is the root of all sorts of problems.  In America, we enjoy the most prosperous lives in the history of mankind.  How did this happen?  According to Dave, we have benefited from our nation’s Judeo-Christian foundation which have set in place the values of prosperity.  As we have embraced ideals like honesty and service, from a Biblical worldview, we have prospered.  We are in fact rich.

So, what must we consider as we walk in prosperity?  When it comes to a worldview of wealth, one spirit to avoid is the spirit of pride.  It says that wealth comes from me.  “I created the wealth.”  The second spirit to avoid is the spirit of poverty.  It says that money is from the devil and is evil, and anyone who has money has done something wrong.  People feel like the game is rigged.  This sort of thinking often opens the door to jealousy and envy.

Finally, Dave discusses the Spirit of Gratitude, which says that wealth and possessions come from God.  If you are grateful, then your actions show your gratitude.  The Spirit of Gratitude changes everything you do, when you are grateful to your Lord.


This presentation will help you unlock your Godly destiny by helping you understanding that prosperity and purpose go hand in hand.
