We serve a good God who has promised to take care of ALL of our needs (financial included) but do we really trust and believe that? Does our life and heart posture toward money reflect that? As Christians, it's so important that we normalize conversations about money, finances, and where God is in the midst of it all because whether we realize it or not, God often times will use our finances to help us trust Him MORE & to draw us closer to Him. That's why in today's video, I share 4 ways we can practically start start trusting God more in this area of our lives. i hope you enjoy. love you!!

    hey, sis. it's testimony time. today's question: what is one way (big or small) that the Lord has provided for you?! for me: like I mentioned, working for myself over the years has put me in positions that reminded me who my true Provider is -- the Lord!! Back in 2017 and 2018, I worked online as an English teacher teaching Chinese students and I would get bonuses when people used my link to sign up to be a teacher on the platform as well. I remember so many instances where these "bonuses" came through unexpectedly but RIGHT ON TIME to meet bill due dates and other random expenses that would pop up. it was during this time that I also began tithing & without a doubt, that helped me see God's provision in this way even clearer. He is good and He is faithful.

    I am looking to move my family out of a not so good situation. I currently work for an apartment community part time. As a full time employee I would get the benefit of discounted rent. I was offered the discount as a part time employee and then a week later offered a full time role with the company. I was able to find a really nice apartment and I am planning on moving next month 😁

I’m so happy she’s getting the hang of potty training so that I don’t stress about them anymore . It’s so hard when you can’t provide for your child but I trust God with everything.

    About 10 years ago, my husband had called me to tell me that he felt like God was telling him to buy a car battery for his brothers neighbor. I didn’t argue or question it because if he felt like it was coming from God, he needed to do it. Later I checked the mail and received a letter from our tribal home division. We live in a tribal home and our house payment was based on our income. Later that evening when he got home I told him about the letter. He began laughing, then he showing me the receipt for the battery. Our house payment had decreased. The decrease was the exact amount of the cost of the battery, to the penny. God will truly bless our finances and provide for us if we trust Him with them. ❤❤❤

I’m an artist and entrepreneur and even though I didn’t have enough for rent I booked my plane ticket to a networking event and when I came back home God came through!! My paintings sold for more than I could imagine and I’m still on the East Coast to this day. This was 3 years ago and lots had changed but I’m believing God for another breakthrough financially in my art career and that my paintings will begin to sell again and I’ll be a working artist. Right now living paycheck to paycheck but I’m trusting God for financial abundance.

    I came back to leave my comment. God stepped in this month and provided for my rent 🙌🏽 I was literally between a rock and the deep blue sea and an unexpected source came through for me. God uses people to provide. We often think that manna is going to fall from heaven and bless us. No. We as His children are called to be His hands and feet. If someone has a need and we can meet it, we should. Because our blessing is right behind it! And blessing doesn’t always mean money. I always say that God’s favor is better than money! He can cancel debt. He can provide unexpected groceries. He can allow the person on the drive thru to pay for our food. The Lord is amazing and He truly is ALL that we need. Consider the lilies of the field and the birds. 🙌🏽 Have you ever seen a stressed out bird? 😂 timely message sis. Thank you!

    In February of this year, I moved into my business space. I had no way of paying my booth rent, and I was in need of some supplies. I prayed earlier that day that the Lord would help me with the things that I was lacking for my business. Whenever I got to church that night for Bible study, someone had anonymously left me a $1000 check for my business. They asked the pastor to give it to me and in the memo it read “God Bless your new Business.” I was overwhelmed with gratitude. Bless the Lord 💖

Last year I literally didn’t make enough to pay my bills and eat but God made a way every single month, no bill was past due, everything was paid on time (except an electric bill I refused to pay because it was outrageously high and God even cleared that up for me). He truly makes a way even when I doubted Him and got stressed he eased my anxiety and provided!!

One day, I went to Tops BBQ to order food, and the employee was gracious enough to give it to me for free. As I stated, this was such a small gesture, but it meant a lot to me during this stressful time. During this season, this was truly like GOD giving me manna from Heaven, as my Dad stated when I told him about the employee's kindness.

    First, this is powerful video on finances. Secondly, I was to share how I trust God with my finances each month. I have a composition notebook where I list ALL by bills for each month. The very first thing that I write at the top of each page is a prayer. I begin by thanking God for the money he has provided for my bills to be paid. Next, I thank Him that All bills will be paid timely, that I will not be in lack or need and that I will not have to borrow or beg anyone. Finally, I end with thanking Him for being my Lord and Savior in Jesus Name. I skip a line and the first thing I write is "Tithing" followed with other bills to be paid. I can truly testify that this has worked for me and God has provided abundantly and above my expectation each month. It WORKS! I hope it will bless someone else to give it a try. In the Name of Jesus I pray! Amen!

    God has provided for me in so many ways. Few years ago, God provided me with a job that I left abruptly and with to work for another company because of the increase in pay. Well, 6 weeks into my new job I was told the company don't have funding for my position and I have 2 weeks to look for another position. I was devastated. I had a dream that my previous manager from the company that I left abruptly reached out to me to offer me my position. I thought to myself that will never happen. Well, approximately 7-8weeks my old manager reached out to me and offered me back my position. Am learning to be obedient to God and to put my complete trust in God. Your video is right on time because am also working through reflecting on the goodness and faithfulness of God. God never fails and I keep reminding myself that God's words do not return void.

    God has provided for me in so many ways. I could write a book and probably will write a book. He provided for me when I quit smoking (spiritually). He took the desire away literally it’s been 10 years since I smoked. I had tried many times before and failed but when I did it for Him because I knew the Holy Spirit resides in me I wanted to quit because I didn’t want to continue to harm my body with my body being his temple. Now…He’s helping me to lose the weight I gained. I’ve lost 25 pounds so far and he’s provided in so many other ways. God is always faithful and never failing. We serve an Awesome God. I can’t imagine my life without him. I owe him everything within me to be obedient to him and this is how I can honor Him to the fullest. God Never Failed Me and my Faith grows because of it.

    Although God has continued to provide for me over and over again, my biggest testimony right now is my car. I’ve had vehicles in the past and something has always happened, and I’ve been left scrambling to try to make it work, but I’ve had my SUV for a few years now and by the grace of God, I’ve been able to keep it on the road and keep it going! Being mobile has provided me with the ability to travel, go places for self-care, take my child back and forth to school or practices or anything like that, and provided my husband and I a well running vehicle when his broke. It may sound superficial to some, but having a well-maintained and well reliable vehicle is such a blessing that I used to overlook. But after washing this video, my eyes have been open to the glory that has been bestowed upon me.!!!! Thank you God!

This has been on me heavy wondering what I’m going to do, because I have a 6 year old. Your video is a reminder to trust in the Lord, because He can and will provide. He did just that for me at the end of May. I needed to pay the remainder of my daughter’s camp along with other things.

    For me, I wanted to go home for Christmas in 2023. I had been trying to save up my money but felt short significantly. At first I was just going to let it go and try to go next year but my heart yearned for my family so much and I had prayed to God to provide a way for me to see them. I missed them so much. So walking in faith I asked my parents for help and they paid for me and my 3 children to go home for Christmas. I barely had to spend any of my money while i was there, and so i cooked breakfast and dinner for them while i was there to show my appreciation. When it was time to go we ended up leaving with more suitcases than we came with! We also had to leave somethings behind because we did not have space for it all. God is so good. There are times when God will provide more than enough for you. ❤

    There are so many ways that the Lord has blessed me in every area of my life. There is just no way to count but what comes to mind with regard to finances is that I never want for anything. I look at money as nothing more than a resource and a tool that the Lord has provided me to navigate through life. There have been times that I didn't think that I had enough but the Lord showed and proved to me that He is the One who is in control, not the money itself. Your perspective of us managing the Lord's money and what He has given us enlightened me in a new way. I will consider that when I don't feel like doing my housework or homework or just taking care of what God put me in charge of. I will do better. How can I expect Him to bless me with more when I may not be managing what He gave me in the ways that He expects? Your words have blessed me again Melody.

    My last semester of grad school I didn’t have the money necessary to for class nor did I have the approval for the class I needed. I felt defeated but was reminded what the Lord called me to do. So I just prayed and talked to him and said, I’m not going to worry about a thing bc YOU said I would guess this degree. Within 2 hours I had the approval code and the money. I borrowed from my brother and best friend to meet the deadline. I was just moved to reach out to the 2 of them. After I paid for my class and met the deadline, the money I was waiting for to hit my account was there. I paid my brother and friend back immediately. We all laughed at that turn around. God’s promises are yes and we agree with our Amen. Always recall what his word says and what he said to you. Your heart won’t be as troubled and he won’t fail.
