There are two reasons why renewing your mind is vital for debt release. First, you must understand that God wants you out of debt. It is your right as a Child of God. After all, you belong to the One Who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10). Why stay in bondage to creditors and this world's system when you have been given a covenant right to live free of debt and insufficiency?

Sadly, that's the way many believers would rather live their lives— trapped by debt and unable to help others as often as God directs them to. They piously say, "Oh, as long as I've got King Jesus...!" But that's the wrong attitude to take. We must desire to be out of debt because that's what God desires. Paul commanded us in Romans 13:8 to owe no man anything but love. It's important that you see debt-free living as an obtainable, desirable, God-given right. Otherwise you'll remain in the same predicament for the rest of your life.

Second, renewing the mind gets rid of the poverty mentality. A poverty mentality is one that is bound up by fear and suspicion. It sees giving as a loss rather than a gain. This is true of religious Christians. They give only so much before they become uncomfortable and afraid of not having enough. They don't understand that when God directs

us to give, He is trying to get more to us, not take away the little we have. Test yourself. What was the last thing God instructed you to do financially? Did you give what He told you to give? If so, great! If not, you need to renew your mind in that area.

So how do you renew your mind? By diligently studying the Word of God concerning debt cancellation. This involves digging deep into the Scriptures to find every place where it mentions supernatural debt release. Looking up key words in the concordance is a good place to start. I also recommend these accounts concerning debt cancellation: the Israelite exodus from Egypt (Exodus 3:21,22;14:30,31), the man with the borrowed axe head (2 Kings 6:5,6) and the woman with the cruse of oil (1 Kings 17:10-16). By studying the miraculous, debt- canceling events mentioned in the Bible, your faith and confidence levels increase, enabling you to believe for your own debt cancellation. You will no longer say, "I know God can cancel debt, but will He do it for me?" Instead you will boldly declare, "God will cancel my debt, because He is no respecter of persons, but of faith."

God will cancel your debt if you give Him a chance to do so. But it's only when you have renewed your mind to the point where you are operating by faith, rather than fear that He is free to move in your finances. You must first understand the purpose for wealth defined in Genesis 12:2,3 before God will allow any of it to come into your hands. "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." In clearer terms, God wants to bless you so that you can

bless others throughout the earth. Deuteronomy 8:18 tells us that God wants us to be wealthy and out of debt in order to "...establish his covenant...." Begin now to see yourself out of debt! Develop a mental picture of prosperous living.

Once you have a solid understanding that the primary focus of money is to spread the gospel, you must get yourself ready for the overflow. That means wealthy living. Look through magazines and books for ideas on houses, land, clothes, and automobiles. Make a scrapbook of the things your heart desires most. Then make every effort to put the Word of God before your eyes, in your ears, and on your tongue.

You see, you must be spiritually wealthy before you can become materially wealthy. A proper understanding of money reduces the chances of you abusing it in the future. Your primary goal, once the money begins to manifest, should be to pay off your debt, and then whatever else God tells you to do with it. If He wants you to sow it into someone's life, do it! Remember, He's trying to get more money into your hands, and your obedience will open the door for that to happen.

"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again" (Luke 6:38).

Once God is confident that He can trust you with His money, His blessings will begin to overflow in your life. That's when your scrapbook will come in handy—you'll experience the joy of wealthy living here on earth!
