7 Reasons For Poverty And Lack &
7 Ways to Move from Lack Into Abundance!

7 Reasons For Poverty And Lack:

Not Keeping Your Word (Lack of Personal Integrity)
Frowning On God’s Messengers and the Message of Abundance And Prosperity
Not Being Meek Or Teachable
(Jesus said: We must have the blind faith and innocence of a child to receive)
Laziness and slothfulness
(Lack of work) (Being slow to embark on any necessary Project)
Generational Curses (Passed down the ‘blood-lines’)
Sin: (8 Categories)
1. Producing Strife and Envy or Jealousy
2. Being Unduly Judgemental or Critical
3. Murmuring Against God
4. Living with Broken Covenants (in Tithing & Offering)
5. Remaining with Unpaid Vows
6. Living in Sexual Sin
7. Holding or Producing Unforgiveness/Malice/or Hatred
8. Pride (you must ‘humble’ yourself; and also ask for help until you get it! You have not because you ask not...)
Your Thinking and Mind-Set (Romans 12:1-3) Reasons for Poverty:
A Poverty Mindset and Mentality:

You can’t get in your hand what you don’t see in your mind.
You can’t be ‘cheap’ and stingy and truly prosper.
God is El Shaddai (not ‘El Cheapo’) ~He is more than enough and ultimately ‘too’ much!
The rich young ruler couldn’t even see the ‘prosperity’ Jesus was inviting him into.

Prosperity Power Principles:

Seek first the Kingdom and all these other things will be added to you ~Matt. 6:33.
Jesus had Joanna and Susanna ~ who ministered to him out of their riches ~ Luke 8:3.
Genesis 13: 14, 15 ~ God said: “All the land that you see, Abraham, I will give you for your own posterity!”
Ps. 118:25 ~ David demanded in his bold prophetic prayer; “Send now prosperity, Lord!”
Ps. 35:27 ~ David said God delights in the prosperity of His servant as the people favour and follow the man of God’s righteous cause!
The power of life and death are in our tongues.

Ask Yourself These Important Questions:

What are you saying and confessing with your mouth?
Do you believe in abundance? (Proverbs 24: “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”)
Do you believe abundance can happen in your Life? (3 John 2)
Are you regularly ‘confessing’ poverty, lack and failure?
Or are you regularly ‘confessing’ prosperity and abundance and success?
Are you making ‘big’ plans with your Life?
What is God really asking you to do?
What is His vision for your life?
Where does He want you to do it?
With whom does He want you to do it with?
When does He want you to do it?
When is the perfect time? (It’s ‘usually’ Now! I hope you take that ‘hint!’)
(God can give you anything that you are ‘ready’ for in just 24 hours if necessary!)
When you get ‘properly-positioned’ in the Will of God, then you will truly begin to prosper! Amen!

7 Ways To Get Out Of Poverty And Lack:
*7 Ways to Move from Lack Into Abundance!

Worship and Praise
- Always give Thanksgiving and Adoration to God! (No Matter what is Happening!)
- Stop Complaining! The Lord told me: “Son, complaining is the road to Hell!”
Give and Sow Big Seeds for Big Harvests!
Bless Others With Love And Be Merciful! (Remember, No One Is Perfect)
Make Your Word Your Bond
- Make this a priority
- Have Personal Integrity
- God will honor you for it!
Pray Or Get Prayer (Especially from Anointed Prophets! This will help destroy generational curses and get rid of ‘plaguing’ devils and obstacles!
Think Big!
Change Your ‘Environments’!
- The Lord said to me: “Son, your environment will either pollute you or promote you!”
- You are no good by yourself. (Every man needs help!)
- Whatever you want to accomplish or have, you must go to those who have done it; and hang around with them, learn from them, and let their grace and expertise rub off on you!
- Prophetic Principle: “You don’t get in life what you want; you only get what you are!” (Whatever level you are at will attract that level of situations and opportunities to you)
Your Geographical Environment:

You must be where God has chosen you to be if you want to be blessed!

To have Heaven’s blessings chasing after you, you have to be in God’s will and the ‘place’ He has chosen for you. (God will send Provision to the place He has assigned you at)

If you are not where He has assigned you, He will withhold things and success from you so you’ll get miserable there; and hurry to the place where He’s ordained you to be! (This is really His mercy in operation; though it may seem like a ‘negative’ occurrence)

Your People Environment:

Environment is important and vital to your Success!

Friends are like a ‘wave’. They take you out to ‘drown’ or take you in to ‘shore’ to a safe ‘harbour;’ depending on which way they are going…

If you are the smartest or most prolific person in your circle or group; it’s time for you to find a better group where you can learn new things and grow…

If you are not being stretched by others who have attained the success you want, then you will remain small.

The Lord said to me: “Small things are for children; and big things are for adults...”

Your ‘Dream’ Environment:

If you don’t like what you’re ‘seeing’, change it!

The images you constantly look at are being reproduced in your mind.

Create ‘dream-walls’ and ‘dream-books’ for yourself in your house and office. Look constantly at the things you want. Doing this will ‘paint’ the ‘canvases’ of your mind with thoughts of abundance and prosperity!

God gave us the capacities of our thinking and thought-life to use for ‘pro-creation.’

God is the author and creator of all things. The devil never created anything. He only steals and manipulates God’s creation to use for evil; but it is only God Himself who created everything beautiful in the World.

It’s a big world, so why do we settle for little things when God has so much available for us?

Nothing just happens! It takes the cultivation of thought in our minds; and action with our hands!

Open your eyes and see all of the great things in the World that God want you to have!

Dream about helping others. You may enjoy many things yourself, but you will always remain a bit miserable if you have the Holy Spirit, and you never do something for someone else.

People generally don’t think like God. If they did, many things would be different here on Earth. Remember, God calls things that are not as though they were!

God is Love. He never tells His kids they won’t amount to anything...

God wants us to be ‘Super-Rich!’ *Hallelujah! *We Receive This From You, Lord! *Amen! (International Copyright ¨ 2007 ¨ Dr. Thomas Manton IV ¨ Dominion International ¨ All Rights Reserved)
