Post 5 Promise for anxiety

2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT

8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

2 Corinthians 9:8 NKJV

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

I have to confess I am really loving my New Living Translation Bible. It is just so helpful to see verses rendered in a different way than my New King James Bible does. I just love the way it makes things so simple for me. These verses may sound the same, but the meaning just seems so different to me.

How do you feel now those of you who worry and have anxiety about the supply from God? I heard it said once that abundance and prosperity is "having enough to share with others." Having plenty left over to share with others sums it up great. Do these scriptures mean that we are to share with other people? Sure they do!

Are you one to share with others? Or when you have spare money do you save it up to buy bigger and better things for yourself? Having a heart that wants to share with others that are less fortunate is a heart that pleases God. I am a big giver and do my best to help people that I see in need.

I have found through spiritual gifts tests that I have the gift of giving and the gift of poverty. I know I have said this in other books of mine. Having the gift of giving is the love of giving to other people. With this gift I find it  a pleasure to give to people's needs when they ask me or Jesus lays it on my heart to to give to a ministry. The gift of poverty means that I spend my money on the works of the Lord and the things of the Lord, rather than on myself. This gift of poverty gives me the ability to go without the best clothes, go out to restaurants often and do things many other people do. The combination of these two gifts in my life allows me to bless people a lot with my life, my books and my income.

This is a promise off God. He will supply you generously so you can have enough for yourselves and for you to share some money with other people. If this promise is not manifesting in your life and you are a person that would share, we need to pray for God to manifest this in your life.

For many years I had an addiction that took a lot of my money. I spent close to half of my money on this addiction each week. Today with this addiction out of my life, I have plenty of money to spend on getting books edited and published. With my love of God and doing things the way God has shown me, I make sure my books at 99 cents are cheap enough for any person to buy. Having my books so cheap and giving them away every month for a day or two on Kindle I find that my spare money these days is going to a great cause. What Satan sent to me, that addiction for many years, to destroy me, has conditioned me to live very cheaply so that I can be a blessing to others now with my books.

What can you do to help others? Who are people that you can think of helping? 

One great way to help people is by giving your money to people in micro finance loans so they can start a business in the third world. "Kiva" is a great organisation that allows you to pick the people that you want to loan your money to. When the people repay the money you can loan it out again. Your money can go on year after year pulling people out of poverty. I have money in this scheme all the time. 

God wants to bless you so you can be a blessing to others. If you are not being blessed like that I will pray for you.

Prayer

Father,

You have never allowed me to be in lack. I have always had enough money to have food, pay the rent and pay bills. I pray that you bless the reader and bring an increase in their financial lives from this prayer on if they are going to share their money with others less fortunate. I pray your blessing on them, better jobs, more security in jobs, more hours to work, more overtime. It's all in your hands God. In Jesus name I ask for this. Amen.
