Going into debt

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Going into debt in order to obtain things is a way of the world.  We, who belong to God, should avoid such.  Debt is a very hard yoke.  And of often people will say, "If only such & such had not have happened I would have been able to pay the debt."

God's way:  Live within your means and even when you have money to buy something first pray and let God establish your thoughts.  God knows what is coming.  God knows what is best for us, HIS people.  Commit everything to God and allow HIM to establish your thoughts.

II Tim. 6 ... Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 
 

6But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.  

11But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 12Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

We must also have the inner concept that this world and all we can see with our natural eye is only temporary.  We are just passing through.
