September 2, 2017 at 5:54 pmHi Family-
I have always struggled with budgeting and living paycheck to paycheck. God always provides…I am thankful that we have a home and all the necessities of life. My bills are not pass due at the moment. However, I am asking for God’s wisdom and guidance when it comes to handling money. I am a tither and I just can’t seem to get out of being in this tight budget.
Thanks DAB family, I am so grateful to be apart of this wonderful community.SheilaTPrayers: 2920Requests: 24
September 2, 2017 at 6:47 pmDear Friend ,
Have you ever heard ” Out of sight out of mind”? That is my principle when it comes to finances. I have several bank accounts . so every paycheck the main account is strictly for God’s ministries, bills, and by the end of the month i have just balance enough for small unexpected small expenses. The rest of the money goes to different accounts automatically so in my mind i know I cant touch the money. We have now learnt to live based on what is in the checking account, we don’t eat out at all unless it’s a birthday, anniversary or unless it is really necessary . We enjoy our own food ( it’s healthy for us than eating out and throwing money .. at east that is what I think).
Having lived with this philosophy we got our 30 year Mortgage paid off in 7 years 11 months ! So hear from me , we don’t earn a lot of money BUT God has given me financial wisdom and I have learnt to say NO to things I do not need.
so have more than just 1 account . If possible make the extra account either be online such that you cant drive to the bank to get the money , or make it several miles away from where you live . Find ways to convince your brain that what you have in the checking account is all you have for each month.
Next regarding our past Mortgage we made extra payments always towards the principle and now no mortgage. Same principle applies to car payments and you sure will receive financial freedom.Financial freedom is NOT how much one earns BUT it is what you do with the little you earn.
Praise God for the Holy Spirit who is such a great teacher.Have a blessed weekend and trusting God for your financial makeover.

Praying God would help you see what changes are needed. I pray you find a system which leaves you happy. Will pray this week for the wisdom you need to achieve from this and that you would be, by the end of it certain of what will help. May Jesus bless your weekend and give you his joy. Amen.
