You say that most Christians have a poverty spirit.
What is a poverty spirit?
You know, a poverty spirit can be a way of thinking.
It can be a mentality.
But I think more than anything,
it is something that the devil uses as a curse
that he uses to actually limit the results
that we see from our labors.
Hey, I thought the Bible says in Matthew 5, three,
blessed are the poor in spirit
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus said that the son of man
had not worth to lay his head.
James says that God had chosen the poor of this world,
rich in faith.
Poverty is not an economic situation.
It's a spiritual entity.
The writer of Proverbs said,
it said, so your poverty,
that which has a claim on you will come up on you
like an armed man and like a prowler.
It's funny how he didn't quote the verse prior to that
in Proverbs 24, where it says he had a little sleep,
a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep.
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelth
and thy want is an armed man.
They're essentially condemning laziness.
