Your subconscious makes 95% of your decisions. If you deep down believe the LIE that it is spiritual to be poor, then you subconscious will sabotage your life and your finances to keep you spiritual (poor according to your belief system). There is only one thing that can free you from the bondage of a lie,THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!!! The truth will set free this generation. This will be the generation of Christians who get the wealth that was laid up for them. God will take pleasure in the prosperity of his children (psalms 35). God wants you to have an abundance that you can give out off for every good work (II Corinthians 9). God wants you blessed so you can be a blessing.
