Is it true that money is evil?
The Bible says:
"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many grief"
1 Timothy 6:10
We are told to:
'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these.
" Mark 12:31
I think this means:
Don't put money before people (yourself or others)Love yourself & othersTake care of yourself so you can help others
Is it spiritual to be poor?
Money is a reward we receive for helping & loving others.
You may have heard of Sowing & Reaping or Giving & Receiving. Both are required.
Sowing or GivingReaping or Receiving
In receiving we allow others to give, so we are also giving at the same time we receive. And we allow ourselves to become more prosperous, and then we can help more people. The circle continues.
Do you really want to be successful?
In the Bible (The Parable of the Bags of Gold) we are told that we are all given talents & wealth.
We all have gifts. We are all unique. And it is our duty to use our talents. It is also our choice. So the results of our choice is our own responsibility. If you choose to use your talents, work, love yourself & others, then you share in happiness:
If you chose not to use your talents then you put yourself in self-storage or poverty.
"Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth
." Proverbs 10:4
To be successful you need to use your talents that you have been given.
Can you help everyone?
You can only help those who want help. The people who say No are making their choice. Look for the people who want help. The people who say Yes. Otherwise you block your own prosperity and become stuck on "trying" to help people who don't want to be helped.
There is no joy in trying to help someone who doesn't want it.
Using your talents, gifts and skills makes God happy. You were meant to play a bigger game, to be happy and to be prosperous.
You were meant to use your talents to help & love others. By doing this you will be rewarded. But you have to choose it and you have to be open to both giving and receiving help & love. And money.
In conclusion, look at your life and what is showing up. If money isn't showing up, or not consistently, then examine your beliefs.
What we have heard quoted from the Bible may have been misinterpreted. These are limiting beliefs that can affect your abundance.
