Nearly everyone in the world experiences financial pressure at one time or another, but some people deal with it better than others. What makes the difference is often not so much these people’s circumstances, but to whom they turn for help. The secret to overcoming financial problems is actually the secret to overcoming any problem: Do what you can do, and then rely on the “God factor.”
I told My disciples long ago, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible” (Mark 10:27). That truth—“with God all things are possible”—is the “God factor.” If you can believe that, it changes everything! When you apply the God factor, all things become possible for you, too, because faith in God and His promises overrides all impossibilities.
Here are some promises you can bank on: “God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory” (Philippians 4:19). “Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them” (Mark 11:24). “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33).
All that the Father has is Mine, so I have all the riches of the universe at My disposal. I can give you all that you need and more, and I love you enough and am concerned about your happiness and wellbeing enough to do just that. No good thing will I withhold from you when you have done what you can do and then apply the God factor, asking Me to step in and do what you can’t do.
