It's True, God Wants You To Have Money

People yearn to be rich, yes even people on the spiritual path yearn to be
rich but many of you on the spiritual path deny this yearning. In fact, many
people on the spiritual path, secretly want nothing to do with money because
it has been a painful or stressful part of their lives. Spiritual people who
refuse to acknowledge their desire to have money in abundance are, to put it
succinctly, kidding themselves.
Money, in and of itself, is neutral. It is neither good or bad, it is simply
a tool we need in this lifetime in order to survive and to do the work we
want to do. As long as we see money in opposition to the spiritual path, we
will experience conflict around money and always be in a constant state of
turmoil when it comes to our financial affairs.
Don't you realize that our church leaders and our greatest spiritual
teachers experience money in abundance. The head of every religion
experiences financial abundance and they have access to the best money can
buy. The Pope has plenty of material abundance in his life. Pat Robertson
has plenty of money and so does Robert Schuller along with Oral Robert's.
Yes, even Billy Graham has plenty of money and so do the leaders of every
other spiritual and religious organization on this earth. Even Mother Teresa
had access to an abundance of money in doing her work of feeding the poor
and healing the sick. Although she didn't personally possess money (a choice
she made) she had access to it, to use it as she wished. She had money to
build her organization and house and feed all the nuns who worked with her.
She had money to travel the world over spreading her message of helping the
poor.
All of the great spiritual writers of our time have plenty of money. Deepak
Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Neale Donald Walsh and the Dalia Lama have
plenty of money at their disposal, so why don't you?
How many of your problems would be solved if you had enough money? Why do
you resist having money? Do you think you are not entitled to money because
you are on the spiritual path? Do you look down your nose at money? Are you
secretly afraid that you are not good enough or smart enough to have money
come into your life in abundance?
Many people on the spiritual path actually hate money. They hate money
because they have seen how people have used money to manipulate, control and
dominate them. They have witnessed how money has caused problems between
people. They have read about people cheating, stealing, lying and killing
other people for money and they don't want to be like those people. They
have also experienced a lot of pain in their own lives in regards to
disputes and arguments with other people over money matters.
Since they don't want to experience pain around money anymore and don't know
how to acquire, manage and keep money without effort, struggle, pain and
worry, they reject the notion of financial abundance. They are only
interested in enough money that allows them to get by, to survive. They
don't give themselves permission to allow money to come into their lives in
abundance that would allow them to experience the kind of financial freedom
that is their birthright
People on the spiritual path, who are financially prosperous, have a
different understanding of what it means to be rich than those individuals,
on the spiritual path, who are still struggling financially. Being rich is
not about having a million dollars in the bank. Being rich,from a spiritual
point of view, is knowing you can make as much money as you need to make,
when you need to make it, without relying on other people such as an
employer to supply you with the security of a regular paycheck.
Being rich is knowing you have the ability to generate all the cash you
need, when you need it, without being dependent on anyone in particular.
Being rich, from a spiritual point of view, is a liberating experience
because your security, in knowing that money will always be there for you,
comes from within and is not dependent on anyone or anything outside of
yourself.
In other words, when you acquire money through the application of spiritual
principles, you are no longer held hostage by a system which, today, has
become a sophisticated form of slavery (economic). In today's economy people
no longer work to live, they live to work. The quality of their lives and
the state of their health is being diminished because they are in bondage to
an economic system that no longer serves their own best interests. Contrary
to public opinion, money is not the root of all evil and neither is the love
of money. The root of all evil is the fear of not having enough money or the
fear of losing the money we have.
