It is the Lord that gives you the power to get wealth. (Duet. 8:18)
Been thinking about this a lot lately and realize that wealth is far more than money. It's about forward progress, health, spiritual growth, funds to meet your needs, it's all about economic, political, spiritual, and emotional freedom.
In other words, Gods idea of wealth encompasses our whole life and being.
The other thing I'm learning is that power is something internal. In social services, we talk about "empowering" others to manage their own lives or something similar to that concept. We don't give them a bottle of power to take home and drink but teach them that the power to manage their lives is within them.
Some of the issues that prevent a person from having power over their own destiny are addictions, toxic shame, and a faulty belief system in who they are and what they are capable of doing.
God empowers individuals to receive wealth by healing the senses of unworthiness or shame that cause them to push away his blessing. They are never quite "good enough". Yet Ephesians states that we are blessed with all blessings in Christ.
If you take what I'm writing and try to obtain "money" without being healed of shame and faulty beliefs you will lose your money because you will still have that feeling of not being worthy. Some people can't even quit some addictive sins or behaviors because they have internalized shame and feel they don't deserve a life of freedom.
God is empowering you to get the full spectrum of wealth. He is internalizing his grace, mercy, acceptance, forgiveness, and blessing in your life.
