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.
