“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1).  Does it matter what we believe?  If I believe something enough and with all my heart, will that make it true?  I think some people believe if they believe something enough, that makes it true.  Will my beliefs change truth?  If I believe something enough, will that change wrong to right?  What if I believe rocks are chocolate?  What will happen if I bite and chew rocks?  Will I taste milky chocolate or will I break my teeth?  If I believe rocks are gods, does that make them gods?  Can rocks save me?  Is there multiple ways to God or is there only one way?  Can we use a combination of religions or ones that make sense to our little pea brains?  Can we make up our own financial rules outside of what God’s Word says and be truly blessed by them.  When we act on our belief in what God says, our actions work with our faith. Then we see what we believe.  I believed the country of Mexico existed.  When I acted on that belief by going there, I saw it.   

I believe that just because someone has little, does not mean they are not givers with a wealthy mindset.There are also people with much who are takers. A person with $100 who gives $20 gives ten times as much as someone with $10 million who gives $200,000.This is exciting! People with less can easily give more than people with much.The people giving large dollar amounts are the ones who often get the attention from men but God notices the ones who give the bigger portion of recourses they have under management.

In “A God Made Millionaire” I discuss behaviors and ways of thinking. I wrote about the “haves”, the “have-nots”, a “wealthy mindset”, and a “poor mindset”. I use these terms to describe attitudes. When I use these terms, they have absolutely nothing to do with how much stuff or money someone does or does not have. There are people with a lot of stuff who have a poor mindset. There are people with less stuff who have a wealthy mindset. People who want more stuff have a poor mindset because they do not have enough. People who have a poor mindset are not content. People with a wealthy mindset trust God while people with a poor mindset do not. The “have-nots” make excuses for their situation. They blame everything and everyone including people they see as the “haves”. The “have-nots” think they are owed something from others. They think the “haves” are lucky. People with a poor mindset have an entitlement attitude. The “have-nots” have a tendency to white knuckle their money because they are afraid they do not have enough. They say things like “money is not important”. If this was really the case they would not be holding on to what they have so tightly. The “have-nots” are takers and fearful. The “haves” are givers and rich toward God.
