The first thing that God ever said on this earth that was full of darkness was “Let there be light.” Your life can only go as far as your Vision is!If you don't see where you're going you will not be able to get there. Vision is absolutely necessary in order to move your life forward. That's why I am so excited to bring you our guest speaker on the podcast, a dear friend of mine, Pastor Obed Martinez of Destiny Church in Southern CA who has a powerful message for Visionaries as he takes a deep dive into “How to Unlock the Power Within.” Pastor Obed lays the foundation of where vision begins.What He has discovered is that vision begins on the inside.He takes the ever-popular Bible verse that says, “God promises to do exceedingly and abundantly more than we can ever ask or imagine,” and provides breakthrough insight on it -- that it's not an outward work but an inside job.God is going to build you up first internally and only then will that manifest externally. This episode will be absolutely transformative for you as you listen to Pastor Obed who is dropping a ton of wisdom and power quotables throughout the entire show! Obed shares what it practically looks like to organize your mind in a way that renews it, preventing you from getting stuck in the margins that lack of clarity and doubt can bring. “Poverty doesn't show up in your pockets until you allow it to come into your mind.” This episode is for anyone that wants more clarity, peace, expectation, and anticipation of what's possible in their mind! I'm so excited for you to tune in as I believe you will be inspired and equipped to unlock your vision and recognize the full potential that God has already deposited inside of you to soar.Make sure you share this episode with someone who needs it and remember to rate, review and subscribe!!

The spiritual realm is just as important as the physical realm and there is a real enemy who wants to take your future and take you away from your God-inspired goals. I see so many people try to win spiritual battles with their minds. When you're fighting your mind, you're fighting your own thoughts.But then you have the spiritual fight which are thoughts that are not actually your own thoughts... they are the outside voice talking to you.This is a spiritual attack! So you have to be able to learn how to fight that voice, to fight in the spirit, and that's what I'm diving into in this episode. One of the most powerful things I've learned on this earth was how to fight spiritually.I had to fight for the plans that God had for me because the enemy does not want God to reveal His goodness. He wanted me to lose hope in God.That's exactly what the enemy wants to do. He wants you to lose hope in the Godly path being the right path.He wants you to doubt the path.He wants you to doubt God's voice and His promises.I'm going to share with you how to fight and to stand when these spiritual attacks come against you and how to speak life and truth over yourself to WIN the war. I hope this podcast not only inspires, reminds, and encourages you to fight spiritually but also paints a clear picture that we are in a spiritual war.Remember that you don't have anything to be afraid of because you're walking with the keys and the authority that has been passed down by Jesus. God's will always prevails. Just keep speaking and keep fighting.
Oftentimes our own thought life is working against us instead of for us.There are so many mental battles for people that are going after their God-inspired goals and visions. You're dealing with high resistance, the voice of the enemy, your own doubt, and difficult relationships and circumstances…This is something that I dealt with and had to confront as a solo entrepreneur ...I began the simple act of journaling to get out the thoughts that were within me.Through this practice, the Lord revealed an exercise to me, a way to develop a beautiful mind.In this episode, I'm sharing with you my personal journal entries and how I began to recenter my focus point for the day to begin to create a beautiful mind.As I began to create a beautiful mind I have been able to create a beautiful life. Nothing in my world has changed except my mind.So take a listen to this new episode and discover how to escape your old way of thinking and come into the new.My ultimate prayer is that as you listen, God will speak to you as a son and daughter and release the beautiful mind that he wants to give you.
We are always marketing or evangelizing whether we are in business or not.Jesus felt the pain of marketing, as we all have, as he experienced radical rejection and criticism for his message but he was also able to experience the joy of getting his message across and seeing lives changed because of it. His entire purpose of being here on this earth was for marketing as he was here to deliver a message. No matter where you're at in the world we all evangelize a message. What can we learn about how Jesus marketed his message so that we can apply it in our lives?I'm going to share with you the seven steps that Jesus used to market his message that you can learn from and follow to gain passion, greater effectiveness, and surprising (and even fun!) methods to attract more people to your message. What you will learn:The strategies Jesus used to attract people to His messageHow Jesus spread his message to others and how you can do the same!How Jesus viewed Marketing for the Kingdom and how that made Him so effective with His missionHow you can expand your marketing efforts from the example that Jesus laid out for youThis episode will have the most power in your prayer closet when you can get time to reflect on the steps and get downloads from the Holy Spirit in regards to your exact messaging, the best way you should evangelize it, and to whom you should go.I hope as you listen and go through the steps yourself, you will be able to unlock your message and get it out to the world in a bigger way.
Your true identity is that God has made you enough.The problem is that often although we might know this intellectually, we do not actually feel enough.There are a couple of things that make up your belief as to whether you believe you are enough and that is the feeling of being enough and the actual activities of being enough. As an entrepreneur or visionary, there is a real calling over your life and there are some real actions that need to be taken in order to reach the physical location that God has for you which is your destiny.And then there is this aspect of feeling enough where your actual emotions are in alignment with who God has made you to be. In order to truly believe that you are enough, you have to be able to draw from real evidence or else you won't believe it -- and that is ultimately what matters -- your belief that you are enough.In this episode, I will be going over the two things that make up your belief on being enough and how to define what is enough for yourself, get to a place of contentment, and make sure you reach your goals and your full potential that God has for you.I hope this message will encourage you and give you some clarity and perspectives shifts.. Because ultimately you want to be able to be enough, do enough, and feel enough and have those all in alignment.
Are you too tolerant of things that are not of excellence?We all have this internal thermostat built-in and a lot of times as believers we are too tolerant of things that are not God's best for us. This often happens with your career or business but can happen in any area of life …You can become tolerant with your income, who you hire, a relationship, things that aren't producing fruit in your life...What you tolerate has a lot to do with what your identity is. Your identity is made up of two things: How you see God and how you see yourself. If you don't raise your internal thermostat which we all have inside of us, then we will always drop back down to the level where our thermostat is set at. You might have to go looking for a new career, you might need to raise your prices, you might have to cut off the old way of doing things to create new space for God to do something new in you…In this episode, we will be talking about those decisions that are sometimes extremely painful to make but that we have to make in order to live out all that God has for us… So, my questions for you today are:Where is your internal thermostat set at?What have you been too tolerant of that needs to change?What hard decision have you been avoiding that you know you need to make?
Are you feeling stuck in the mud of life, a victim to your circumstances?You've been following your passions, you've been doing everything you know to do, but for whatever reason, it's led you down this road where you're playing a role in life that you didn't see yourself playing?You might be a more adventurous or fun person but you find yourself doing tasks that aren't that fun or that exciting…You thought your life would be progressing a bit further along by now and it's just not matching up to the vision you see for yourselfYou find yourself questioning how God has led you to where you are... Maybe even questioning if you have what it takes and if you're really doing enoughYou have a vision and passion but for whatever reason, you're feeling a little stuck in the mud.So if that's you, this episode is going to be a very powerful episode! I'm sharing with you my story where I recently felt lost in my own vision, spinning my own wheels, I felt discouraged and powerless… Even though I was at the top of my success game, it felt as if I wasn't going to get to the place that God had for me and I was moving further and further away from the work that I'm gifted to do and that I love doing. What I discovered, is that the discouragement and disillusionment were rooted in the story I was telling myself.A story that said I was the victim with no way out, powerless to change my situation.In this episode I'm challenging you to identify the story you are telling yourself, helping you to see that you have the power to change your role and to change your story into an empowering story.When you align your role with the vision, meaning you're doing the things that God created you to do, you're going to feel more alive and you're going to want to do the work.
Are you a person in ministry, business, or entrepreneurship who has a God-given dream, impact that you want to make in the world, a mission, or a God-vision and you're struggling to see it come to reality?This week on the Spirit Driven Success podcast, I am talking with my friend and colleague, Dr. Shannon, a brain science expert and business strategist. Dr. Shannon is the CEO and Founder of Epic Success, a neuroscience coaching program. She is a Doctor in Neuropsychology and a serial entrepreneur who also founded a nonprofit in Uganda, Mosaic Vision, which works to support Ugandan widows and children orphaned by AIDS.

She is no stranger to burnout and believing the story that you have to work yourself into the ground to earn the right to be successful.A believer who was doing all the right things, going to church, praying, working hard, but she had her cup upside down and knew she had to find a way to reach her God potential in a better way.Shannon discovered the process to remove the limiting stories that seem to run on auto-pilot in our brains so we no longer have to be a slave to the flesh but can think in a way that aligns with the Lord and with success. This was the birth of her neuro-coaching model.You didn't create your own money story, your success story, or your worth story - you received it from your environment of origin. You've been on auto-pilot receiving automations that you did not choose.Dr. Shannon is revealing to you the powerful tools to help you break free from any automated systems that are keeping you stuck and unable to reach the potential that God has created you for.You will learn the below important keys to success:How just “thinking differently” & “willpower” isn't the answerThe 2 ‘key' things you need to shift your brain automation to successThe 4-step process to hack your system and remove the automated stories that are holding you backThese will involve unpacking your stories of origin, facing the resistances that you will encounter and within that, leaning into the steps you need to take to grow your business.By the end of the episode, you are going to have some clear action steps that you can take away to unwire your broke money story enabling you to unlock your God-given potential and reach your God visions.You will want to grab a pen and paper for this one because you will definitely want to take notes on this absolutely transformative, impactful, and powerful message from Dr. Shannon.

What in your life is going to be painful, but if you do it, is going to release hope and vision for new layers, new territories, new breakthroughs, new visions, new opportunities? The reality is if you are listening to this, you have a vision that you are going after and you're excited about.… but when you're going about your vision, you will get to a point where you need to make progress in areas that are painful to you... and you can't help but distract yourself and do other things that you actually like to do, only to have the things that you need to be doing stack up and hold you back from accomplishing your goals and visions.Whatever you know you need to get done to reach that God-vision -- there is a time where you have to just lay your flesh down and say, you know what, I'm tired of avoiding this, I'm tired of distracting myself, I'm going to get the thing done that I need to get done.We can easily go through the motions because we want to make progress, but it's not going through the motions that are going to give us the progress that we're looking for, it's being impactful that will allow us to have the progress that we're looking for. That's why the Word says that we need to consider our ways and consider the way we are doing life...It's easy to do work -- but how impactful is your work?It's easy to show up in your relationship but how impactful is your presence?It's easy to read the bible, but how impactful is your study time?It's better to have more impact than is to have influence.In order to live a fulfilled, meaningful life, there has to be some level of impact that is being created with what you put your hands to.When you identify those painful things that you have been avoiding that are holding you back from making the impact you want to make…You can then rely on the faith of God, God's power to overcome, and the promise that He has for you in the overcoming for the strength that you need.
We're in a culture that says that we can have everything now. The reality is when we go after what we want now we can sometimes sacrifice for what we want most. God's plans are so much higher than our plans. He knows the intricate desires of our heart and in order to fulfill those desires, there's a process of refinement that we need to go through.When we follow the innate desires to follow the things we want now, we often make decisions we regret later and we begin to live an instant gratification lifestyle.In this, we can miss out on God's best for us because we have a now mentality. That's why learning the quality of patience and trusting God in the waiting period is so important. James 1:4 says, “But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”You will get to enjoy the fruits of your labor and experience the freedom that is released with the blessing, the reward for your work, and your wait.You want to be entrusted with the blessing and not enslaved to it!In this episode, I'm sharing how you know if you're dealing with this instant gratification lifestyle and how to thrive and grow and serve while you wait without sacrificing what you want most for what you want now.My name is Adam, I am the CEO and founder of a company called The Dream Factory Co.

In this episode, I am talking about how we can, without realizing it, begin to put our hope in our circumstances instead of rooting it in the power of God.Because we're in a Western world that wants us to put our hope in everything else, we can easily, especially as Visionaries, just believe that when God makes our circumstances better, then we'll become better with God.But it doesn't work that way and God is calling us to move closer to his heart... and that's when he begins to unlock the blessing in the physical realm that is first seated in the spiritual realm. I'm sharing how you move your hope from your business, your finances, your relationships, and all of the circumstances changing around you and how to instead put your trust in God. I'm sharing the benefits of intimacy in God and the power that comes out of that to open up your life to new possibilities and new realms because your hope is in God.As you begin to place your hope in God, it's going to unlock layers of you to be able to align more with God's desires, and the more that you do that the more power that you will begin to receive because your power draws from Him.When your place of hope is in God alone you free yourself. I'm excited for you to hear this episode because when you get reconnected and plugged back into the source, it's like getting connected to a river of running water... You feel alive again and refreshed when you get connected to the power of the Holy Spirit.

Today we're talking about how to unlock your faith in action to enable you to go after your God-visions without fear.As you go after your vision you're going to face resistance in the physical realm and the spiritual realm. The spiritual realm is just as real as the physical realm and that's why it's so important to gain wisdom so that you can navigate past the resistance in the spiritual realm, navigate past the tricks of the enemy and be able to overcome that resistance to reach those God-inspired goals.I'm going to show you how to unlock your faith in action, to lift the lid off of your spiritual potential enabling you to run and go after the vision that God has called you to with authority. Because he has given you the keys.In this episode, I'm sharing 5 powerful ways today that will help you move from comfortable to running after your vision.I hope this stirs up your spirit, unlocks faith, and challenges you to get uncomfortable to get you thinking bigger to help inspire you to turn your visions into reality.My name is Adam, I am the CEO and founder of a company called The Dream Factory Co.

In this episode, I'm talking about how you work at something when you don't feel like it.The reality is that sometimes God calls you to do something and you will not always feel like doing the monotonous tasks that are required for that vision. How do you get over and break through that resistance, even in times when you don't feel like getting it done?I'm sharing with you the different reasons you might be struggling and the ways you can overcome as well as the questions you need to ask yourself and the prayer that you can go to God with to help you through.When you move into your strength zone--that lane that is aligned with your gifting--it feels good to wake up, it's easier to get started in your day, it's easier to work because you're doing the things that you're gifted to do.I hope this podcast helps inspire you to operate in your strength zone to do more of the things that God is calling you to do as that is where fulfillment is.My name is Adam, I am the CEO and founder of a company called The Dream Factory Co.

In this new episode, I'm going to be tackling identity issues and I'm so excited to be sharing this because it can be groundbreaking to unlock a lot of spiritual potential for you to step into the things that God has for you.God has given us an identity, we are the children of God and a Chosen people, called into God's light. Being able to access the way God views you will directly impact your business and your ability to have success. If you don't have a high identity, you won't be able to step into confidence in your offered services because you'll always be doubting if you're good enough...you're always leading from a place of fear and less than.God has given you enough and made you more than enough. In this episode, I will be sharing what the symptoms are that will reveal if your identity is not in Christ or that you've been operating at a low identity as well as a powerful way you can elevate your identity.Plus, I'm also introducing an app that my wife made, called Spirit Truth Freedom, where we have flashcards inside of the app with various topics you can choose from, one of them being “Identity in Christ” -- This will include a list of scripture verses available to you that will help you know and discover your true identity in Christ. This is a great way to get the Word of God in as faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God- one way to transform your identity is to read what God has to say about who you are.… God desires nothing more than to have you step into your true identity. The enemy wants you to be confused, to doubt yourself, and to be double-minded. The Bible says in James that God does not want a double-minded Believer… a person who is tossed back and forth by the wind. God wants us to have unwavering faith. So my question for you is, what areas have you been falling short, doubting yourself, living in guilt, or living below the identity he's called you to?How can you raise your identity so that you can get to the place that God has for you? We'll be discovering that in this new episode!My name is Adam, I am the CEO and founder of a company called The Dream Factory Co. I am also a radical Jesus lover.

In this episode,I have a featured guest, Humberto Renovato, and he is sharing about what to do when your vision feels delayed.Humberto is a lead pastor of Revive Church in San Antonio, TX. Humberto is a total visionary, he's involved in real estate investing, and he knows everything about a desert season as you go after your vision.Vision will always be tested for authenticity. If the vision you received can be sustained through the wilderness, the desert, the warfare, then you know that it's authentic.Sight is a function of the eye, but vision is a function of the heart. When God gives you vision it goes contrary to what your eyes see. It's not where you are but it's where you're headed to. So vision will never agree with where you are. God will say you're going to be a business owner, but you're flipping burgers right now, God says you're going to own your own home, but you're struggling to pay rent right now. The greatest enemy to your vision will be your own sight. So you cannot afford to be manipulated or controlled by the limitations that you see at this present level.When God gives you the download and the vision, it's you coming into agreement with what He's already finished, but it becomes vision for you now.Humberto shares more in this episode on:What to do when you've been trying to go after your vision, you're putting in the work, but for some reason, your message is not being released, it's almost like God is not allowing the vision to happen and you're not being exposed fully to your potential and why your vision may not be coming to fruition yet.Whatever you do, it's important to understand that God gives you a vision and glimpse of what's already be done. God never begins without first finishing a thing… God never starts without the intention of finishing it first. God sustains you by giving you pictures of what's already been done so you won't give up in a temporary season.
Today we are talking about how to never worry about money again. A lot of times as visionaries or entrepreneurs our income is variable. It can go up one month and you can have a great month and another month you may be trying to figure out how to make payroll or pay your bills or trying to figure out how you're going to cover the next investment you've made.Our finances are a little bit different because they're not as fixed as other's finances may be. With that, it can cause a lot of stress, a lot of worries, and a lot of anxieties. It can take over your mind and everything that you process is through the lens of how am I going to make more money today, how am I going to get this paid off, how am I going to find another client.That's just not the way that Jesus desires for us to live, to be in that mind frame. That used to be a big battle for me as I didn't have a backup plan. So, that might be you, where your back is up against the wall, you don't have a person to call, you don't have a backup plan.In this episode, I'm sharing the security of the Father's provision that you can have over your finances and how to be motivated by generosity and purpose instead of scarcity allowing you to let go of your anxieties and rest in the love of the Father and His provision over you.
When you're in a career that drains you spiritually, it's called Career Oppression… nothing will drain your spirit more than being stuck under a job or in a business that doesn't allow you to fulfill your God-given purpose.When you're in that type of environment there's no room for you to go after purpose, to feed your spirit because you're so drained from the work environment. You're not alone in this if this is you -- over 70% of Americans report to not being happy in their jobs. Then some of you have businesses that you've been putting a lot of time, money, and energy in, but it's really been taking away from your family and life, not adding to it. You're overworked and underpaid and you feel like something just has to change.What's cool is that God actually has a way out for you. He is the Father of being able to get you into purpose. That is what he has designed you for and that's what His Word is designed for. God is the foundation for the circumstance you're in. Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit” … if life has knocked the shout out of you, if your spirit has been crushed, if you are leading life on empty, if you don't feel alive in Christ and are just trying to get through the day… because you're so drained from your career… the good news is there is a way out!In this episode, I'm going to be sharing the steps you need to take in order to help you escape your career oppression as well as sharing with you some career oppressions I've been through along my journey.On the other side of this, it's going to open a new door for you to be more in alignment and that is what you're aiming for; to step into purpose, into what God has called you to do and that's when fulfillment is then unlocked, that's where you can move at God-speed, that's where you can lift the lid off of your God-potential and really getting fulfillment from the career you've been dreaming of.
A Poverty Mindset versus a Spirit of Poverty are concepts that have often been used interchangeably as if they're the same thing, but they are actually not the same thing. And what I want to be able to do in this episode is to reveal to you the differences between the two and I also want to give you the solutions between the two as well.Let's first start out with addressing the Spirit of Poverty. What the Spirit of Poverty is, is it's basically the inner voice of the enemy that attacks your identity and gets you focused on the qualities and resources you lack to be successful. It's the voice of the enemy that torments you, it can impact your ability to take action, it tells you that you don't have enough, you aren't good enough for God to use you, you don't have what it takes… it's not your voice or thoughts, it's an outside voice that is getting you to focus on everything that you're missing. It's the enemy's attempt to get you focused on what you lack.The solution is fighting the enemy with God's Word, knowing who God made you to be, and adopting your identity in Christ… and I will be sharing with you 5 powerful steps in order to do this in this episode. In contrast, a Poverty Mindset is when YOUR perspectives and beliefs around a lack of money and resources hold you back from God's best. So, it's not the enemy that's lying to you, it's you, it's your thinking. A lot of times this is a generational problem... It's a lack and scarcity mentality. The good news is a Poverty Mindset is a lot easier to break because the solution is a Kingdom Mindset and I'm concluding this episode by sharing 5 additional steps on how to break a Poverty Mindset. My hope is that this podcast will have brought some clarity today on the difference between the Spirit of Poverty versus a Poverty Mindset. My whole purpose, life mission, and assignment from God are to break off a Spirit of Poverty and a Poverty Mindset off of His children. That's what I'm here to do. If I do nothing else on the earth but do that, my assignment is complete. My biggest prayer is that you get some AHA moments, the Holy Spirit revealed things to you, or you had some breakthroughs in your mindset, or confirmation landed on you.
In this episode, I will be sharing with you how to unlock greater wisdom in order to fulfill your God-visions.The answer in the Word says, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The fear of the Lord is when you're seeking to unlock what that is in your life because you want to experience God's best and you also understand that when not being obedient to what God has called you to, that you will miss out on what God has for you as His best. Being afraid to miss God's best for you, being afraid to miss out on accessing the Kingdom and bringing heaven to earth, and living that way is the fear of the Lord and the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.You'll never fully arrive… It's an ongoing journey, you're going to fall short but it's okay because that's where He covers you. Just knowing that you could miss God's plan in your life, that's where wisdom shows up strong -- if you don't acknowledge that, that's where you can step into your own wisdom and live foolishly.For that reason, you're constantly searching for God's best in your life, in your relationships, and in your business, in your health, and in every aspect.

Maybe you're in a place where you really need a miracle and I want you to know that God is a God of miracles and that God has a process in His Word that actually reveals how to access miracles. This is not something that I've heard taught before but it's come from a lot of downloads in my prayer time.

Miracles by mercy are miracles that you've done absolutely nothing to deserve, it's just God's protection over you. Then there are miracles by grace, which are accessed by faith. You are stepping out doing your part and then God, through the supernatural, is doing his part. So the miracle cannot take place without you doing your part. As God's Word says, faith without action is dead.In this episode, I'm sharing with you how to get the faith that you need in order to access these grace miracles, and where you need to begin.This is not just spiritual hyperbole or hype. This is actually backed by scripture and I'm going to sharing a powerful formula today… What the goal is, is to have a miracle lifestyle.

Now you can get excited and it gives you permission to step out and walk in faith.
Break past the resistance of the enemy - Reach Your God-given destinyWhat money can do for you and how to change your association with it.In this episode, I'm sharing about breaking past the resistance of the enemy to help you to reach your God-given destiny. Part of those resistances is understanding how to break past financial resistance. This is an area I'm very passionate about and an area that isn't often taught about in churches today.Should it be the pastor's job to teach us about finances? If not, where do you end up learning about finances? You end up learning how to do business from the world. What the world does is they teach principles, but they take the Prince out of the principles. So now those principles are not blessed, they're not anointed, they are not Holy Spirit led. Sometimes these principles can be good ideas, but good is not God, it's not Kingdom-based.I am breaking down how you can renew your mind in regards to having a Kingdom mindset and Godly relationship towards money, the benefits of having financial increase, the dangers that come along with that and how to navigate them, as well as how to steward your revenue as a Believer.My hope and prayer today is that your associations with money change and that you are able to change your mindset towards money and break any spirit of poverty or lack that holds many people back.
The World's Way versus the Kingdom Way, and how this should change your life and your views on successBut first, I'm sharing my story on how Spirit Driven Success was founded and when God put it on my heart through a mentor's advice, to incorporate my faith into my business. This is when I began to make my business my ministry and began teaching Kingdom business strategies on what the bible has to say about success.For this 1st podcast, we are setting the foundation of what success looks like in the world's eyes versus what it should be for you as a Believer. The World vs. Kingdom….One thing that the world does is choose to pursue careers and opportunities that make money versus going after their God-calling. The world's entire value system is surrounded around money, that's their focus, that's the end game. Matthew 16:26 says, “What is it to gain the whole world, but to lose your soul?” What is it to grow financially when spiritually you're dry and dead and separated from God and all you're doing is chasing money? It's a trap and we become enslaved to the money game rather than empowered to go after purpose.From a Kingdom viewpoint, money is a byproduct. We're focused on using our gifts, helping people, making an impact, and doing meaningful work that the Lord has told us to create, and out of that, God is providing for us.The world wants knowledge but without the relationship with God. As Believers, we are seeking wisdom, vision, and supernatural opportunities from God. It's not just trying to find a secret formula -- but it's God's process for us. The Kingdom way is continually seeking God on the relationship and the direction and path you should be taking and the world is missing the wisdom and relationship with God entirely.The world finds their identity and hope in being significant. We find our identity and hope in God.As Believers, we don't have to put our hope in that. We have the freedom in Christ to feel significance and purpose right now.Through viewing money and success in the Kingdom Way, we can release the expectation of the world because we have our identity in and our intimacy with God. Ask yourself, where is my heart at -- because that is where your treasure will be. Where are my motives? As you begin to see money as a tool and a resource and just a byproduct, then you will see that God will provide for all of your needs and that if he's given you a vision, he's going to provide the funds.
