Change Your Moneys Emotional Association

Every object in this world triggers an emotion in you. Everything has what I call an emotional association. For many people, moneys emotional association is this Money = Evil If this emotional association is branded in your subconscious, youll never get rich. Because we dont like to be evil. So well reject money like it was the devil itself. Unless you change your emotional beliefs about money, youll never become rich. Its impossible. Heres the truth: Youll gravitate towards what you subconsciously want, and avoid what you subconsciously do not want. If you believe that money is evil, you will subconsciously avoid money. Remember the people who criticized me for teaching about money? Theyre very few. So I made an informal survey. I discovered that 80 percent of them were financially struggling. Why? Because in their minds, they believe a spiritual person shouldnt be talking about money or focusing on money. So subconsciously, they avoid it. And inwardly, they actually feel more holy because of their financial struggles. I pitied them so much. But the idea that money is evil isnt in the Bible. Instead, let me quote three passages for you to change your emotional association of money. Create a New Meaning for Money Im a father of two fantastic boys. Thats why I understand this next passage. Jesus says, So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him (Matthew 7:11).

This is so true! Im not perfect, but I love to give good gifts to my kids. Instead of Money = Evil, burn this new emotional association in your brain Money = Gods Provision The Bible says, It is God who gives you the power to create wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18). Question: If God thinks that wealth is evil, why would He give us the power to create wealth in the first place? Pretty illogical, right? Create this new emotional association in your brain Money = Gods Power When you earn money, youre using Gods power. When you work, Gods power is working within you. Confess this, I have the power to create wealth. Say this Faith Declaration every day! One final passage. The Bible says, The Lord takes pleasure in the prosperity of his servant (Psalms 35:27). Wow. God is happy when He sees you successful. He claps. He sings. He hops. He does the boogie when He sees you blessed. I think I know the feeling. I feel the same way with my helpers at home. Last year, despite investing in the stock market, one of my house helpers rebuilt her small house for her family in her distant barrio. My other helper bought a tiny property in her hometown. Gosh, I was so proud for them. Yes, I felt pleasure in their prosperity! And I believe God takes pleasure when we prosper too. So burn this emotional association in your brain Money = Gods Pleasure Some people think God wants us to be poor because Jesus was poor. Yes, Jesus was poor. But I believe poverty is a special call He gives to very special people, like celibates in religious orders. But the Bible also says that you need to provide for the needs of your relatives and immediate family, or youre worse than an unbeliever (1 Timothy 5:8). If youre like me, youll understand what Ill say next: My heart is big and I have a very big family! Oh, this topic is very close to my heart. Let me tell why

How I Changed My Belief about Money Once upon a time, I was a poor missionary. I had very little money. Once, my hair was growing long. People were telling me, Bo, you need a haircut. I said, I want to look groovy. Actually, I didnt have money for the barber. One of my joys was eating in a restaurant and reading a book. But many times, before I entered a Jollibee (Yes, there was already a Jollibee then. Im not that old!), I had to first count the coins in my pocket. Many times, I had to turn aroundbecause I couldnt afford even one burger. I couldnt even buy the things I needed for my preaching. For example, I couldnt afford books. I would go to a bookstore, read a book, return it, go home, and go back the next day to continue reading it. If the sales lady or the security guard looks at me in a funny way, Id just go to another branch. help But all that was nothing. What was most painful to me was my inability to help the people I wanted to Why Dont I Become Rich? I remember a friend who called me in the middle of the night. He said, Please pray for my baby, Bo. She cant breathe. Were in the emergency room of a hospital now. Theyre asking for a deposit, but we dont have money. I realized they werent just asking for prayers. They were asking for money. But I didnt have any! So I called up a friend who I knew was rich. But no one was answering the phone. (It was 2am.) I tried another friend. As I dialed, I remembered he was abroad. I called up a third person. And a fourth person. And a fifth person. All night, I was trying to call up my rich friends. And then it hit me, Why dont I become rich myself? And little by little, the wrong emotional link of money was replaced by new emotional links. I began to see money as Gods provision, Gods power, and Gods pleasure. Soon, I was praying a new prayer: Lord, prosper me so that I can prosper others. Prosper Your Mind I dont know what youre financial condition is now. You may be in debt. You may be in a financial famine. You may be without a job or stuck in a low-paying job. You may be where I was 12 years agowanting to help people but not having enough to help.

Friend, heres my message to you: Theres hope. Prosper your mind and you prosper your money. The reason why many people dont prosper is because their wrong beliefs prevent them from prospering. Here are five beliefs necessary for wealth: 1. You need to believe that God has left the decision to you to be rich or to be poor. He will respect your decision. 2. You need to believe that you can serve God with your wealth. 3. You need to believe that money is good if its in a good persons hands. Will you be that good person? 4. You need to believe that you have the ability to be rich. 5. You need to believe that you deserve to be rich. You Dont Have to Be Poor Friend, there is hope for you. You dont have to be poor. You dont have to be buried in debt. You dont have to suffer financial struggles. You can be financially free. How? Change your beliefs. Prosper your mind so you can prosper your money.

May your dreams come true,

Bo Sanchez
