Breaking Out of Poverty

"Poverty is more than not having it is a spirit that is always fearful of not having. That fear affects the entire human race, being so massive a force that even though a person has much, he still tends to think it will never be enough."

The possession of much is not the essence of freedom from poverty. The essence of this freedom is from the need to get; freedom from the need to be in control; freedom from the need to protect yourself compulsively at every turn.

"ALL THAT WE HAVE COMES FROM HIM AND WE GIVE IT OUT OF HIS HAND."

I Chron. 29:14 (Dutch Translation)

'The Church on the Way' book by Jack Hayford 1982

I am challenged today to allow the truth of this message to set me free. Let today be the day when we can all break free from poverty and have open hands, ready to give with no fear!
