Our Words, "We
Don't Have Enough Money" was Opening a Door to the Spirit of Poverty! Prov.18:21
by Bill Yount
Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the
tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
In
the Spirit I saw words coming out of the mouths of God's people that appeared
to be forming chain-like links hooking together. With each negative comment our
words became like a chain that grew, wrapping itself around the object we were
complaining about.
One
of the largest chains I saw was wrapping around finances. Each time someone
would say, "I don't have enough money," this chain became reinforced
with strength wrapping tighter around their wallets and purses. As this
complaining continued I saw huge locks come upon these chains as a spirit of
poverty and depression began to be released from hell to fulfill the words that
were being spoken.
I saw Enormous Chains Come
Over Whole Ministries and Churches.
Wherever
two or more people were gathered together and began to say, "We don't have
enough money for this or that in our ministry or church," - huge chains
began to wrap around whole ministries, congregations, pulpits and alter rails.
I saw a muzzle come over the mouths of many pastors when just a few members
were agreeing and saying. "We can't afford to pay him that much!"
Chains
from hell started growing around the pastor's whole family as the spirit of
poverty continued to increase in churches, like a little leaven leavening the
whole lump! I saw churches closing as chains and locks were being installed on
their front doors as the spirit of poverty overcame many, stopping them from
giving tithes and offerings.
I
then saw in the Spirit one person stand up in a church that was about to close
its doors. This person began to lift up their wallet towards heaven and began
thanking God that he even had a wallet! Though nothing was inside his wallet he
was praising God that he had the breath to praise Him in spite of his lack of
finances. As this man started lifting up his wallet with thanksgiving and
praise, the chain snapped off of it and the Lord spoke audibly to this church,
"Let everything that has breath, praise Me! In every thing give thanks for
this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you and this House!" A
revelation was breaking forth upon God's people that just breathing qualifies
us to praise and worship Him! "In God We Trust" became a sermon as
someone pulled out their last dollar bill and began to read what was written on
their money instead of counting how much they didn't have. God spoke.
"Don't count your money - read it! Count on Me!" Ministries, churches
and their members were being freed as chains and locks began to melt from the
presence of the Lord as they discovered afresh that God was their source!.
A Fresh Oil of Giving that
could not be Stopped Came Upon God's People as they Became Thankful.
As
they started thanking God for their wallets and purses though empty and needy,
I saw a key being turned in a door of a bank in heaven filling wallets, purses,
ministries and churches with whatever they had need of. I saw the future of
many churches so blessed and prosperous from members giving freely that pastors
had to announce to their congregations. "We have enough money! Please pray
to see where God would have us use the extra finances that have come in!"
It
seemed when God's people began to give thanks they discovered blessings and
finances they didn't know they had before. It would come from somewhere,
somehow, for their heart of thanksgiving wanted to give instead of receive.
They wanted to bless others and in turn money seemed to come looking for them
and track them down, overtaking them with material and spiritual blessings that
they couldn't put a price tag on!
Each
time a ministry, church or individual would say - "We have enough money,
for God is our source!" - angels would be released to bring in above and
beyond what they were believing God for!
