God allows you to walk through seasons of lack so that you can develop Empathy and Compassion for those around you who are suffering and struggling. *Read 2nd Corinthians 1:2-4.*
Think of an open door as the front door of a house, while a stronghold is a room in the house. *PEOPLE DON'T STAY IN THE FRONT DOOR, THEY STAY IN A ROOM.* Demons enter through the open doors and stay in strongholds.
When you're being attacked financially, it is often because the enemy is terrified of the impact you will make once you're financially free. *Read Ephesians 6:12*
The sword of the spirit is the only weapon of offense listed in the armor of God. All the other parts are defensive in nature. God’s Word—the Bible—is described as “living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword” (Hebrews 4:12).
*REMEMBER:* SUCCESS in the kingdom of God is NOT measured by your bank account, but by the depth of your alignment to HIS WILL. So, *ARE YOU SUCCESSFUL?*
The moment you start justifying thoughts like "I can handle it" or "it's not that serious" you're already slipping. REDIRECT YOUR FOCUS BACK TO GOD BY RENEWING YOUR MIND.
Don't despise this season, for it is in these moments of financial strain that your resilience is being built, your faith is being tested and your Spiritual inside is being Sharpened.
