EEW Magazine.com: The ESSENCE of the Black Christian Woman
"I have found there
is always a way to
fund the dreams
God has given us."

This is a two-part article and the
title of part two is “What are your
money fears? (Part 2).”

In both parts, we will explore the
fear-based lies (FBL’s) we
believe about money, and equip
you with some spiritual and
practical solutions to shift out of
the lies and fears into the freeing
truth.

So, let’s overcome our fears and
expose the lies.  Enjoy!

FBL #1 - I will never have enough
money/I will run out of money.

This fear-based lie is typically
caused by a financial trauma in our
childhood or early adult years.

Let’s explore what may have caused
the fear:

1.  We had unmet needs as a child
(medical, educational, dental,
clothing).

2.  Perhaps our parents said things
like “money don’t grow on trees”
when we asked for something.

3.  As a child, we saw our parents
run out of money consistently.

4.  Our parents had this fear or
made these FBL statements.



Spiritual Solution to FBL #1:  
Replace the Fear with Truth

The truth is:

1.  Our God is Almighty and All
Sufficient.

2.  He can be trusted to provide
ALL of our needs, not some of our
needs [like our parents did].

3.  He will never leave, forsake, or
abandon His children.

I’m sure you read those three
statements and thought, “Yeah, so
what.”  

I want you to re-read them again.  
Before you do, pray and ask God to
allow the words to penetrate past
your mind [soul] into your spirit
[the place where He lives].  Then
take the next step.

The next step is: every time you
catch yourself in
FBL #1, refocus
on the spiritual solution
statements.  

This will help you replace the fear
with the truth.  When done
consistently, you find yourself
resting in the truth about
abundance and then being able to
freely receive abundance, budget,
give, and save.  

Most of us don’t give, save, budget,
tithe, or receive abundance
because
FBL #1 makes us think if
we do, we will run out of money!

Practical Solution to FBL #1:  
Create a Cash Cushion

Start a FEF (Family Emergency
Fund)
.  Although the first word in
the acronym is family, whether
single or married without children,
this still rings true.  

You should have a minimum of
three to six months income saved.  
I know, I know, you can’t save or
you don’t believe you make enough
to save.  The truth is it’s not what
you make that matters; it’s what
you save that matters.

FBL #2: It Takes Money to
Make Money

If I survey entrepreneurs and ask,
“What holds you back,” I know
FBL
#2
would topple over the rest of the
lies.  

This lie has held back the ingenuity,
creativity, and innovation of some
of the greatest entrepreneurs the
Kingdom of God might have
known.  


What caused this lie?  

We learned it from other
entrepreneurs or someone close to
us.  They said it, believed it, and
demonstrated their struggle with it
right before our eyes.

Spiritual Solution to FBL #2 :
Use Your Mouth

God, Eternal Creator, used His
mouth, not money to create the
world.  Use your mouth and speak
those God-ideas, witty inventions,
and dreams into existence.
Practical Solution to FBL #2:
Find the Key to Your Money
Solution

I have found there is always a way
to fund the dreams God has given
us.  Simply being resourceful has
reaped huge dividends for us.  

I have found many ways to
implement business and ministry
strategies with little to no money.  
So, I challenge you to find the key
to unlock your money solutions.

Don’t stop there.  

After you consistently affirm the
how, what, when, and why of the
dream or goal, then plug in the
details to create a detailed vision.  

I know God will show you the key
to making money without spending
money.  It is different for each and
every one of us.  However, I know
this solution works.  I have made
money time and time again without
spending money.  

How about the resources, [other
than money], you have available to
you that are right under your
nose?  

Maybe you’re sitting on a goldmine
and don’t even know it.

In closing out Part 1, I encourage
you to believe the truth about your
financial situation.

Be on the look out for Part 2 in the
New Year's issue of EEW Magazine.

What are Your Money Fears? (Part 1)
Could Your Beliefs about Money be Hindering You?
by Karen M. Pina, God's Coach
There is so much talk about
the economy collapsing and
the pending recession.  

How much does this
frighten you? Or is it too far
from your day-to-day life
that you really haven’t
thought about it at all?  
Well for the past several
years, I’ve been prayerfully
thinking about where we
are heading financially in
the government, church,
workplace, and personally.  
As Christians, what better
time than now to address
our fear-based money lies?
