have you ever felt like you were trapped in poverty like it's an escape room like it's a it's a maze like it's it's some place that feels like no matter how hard you work no matter how hard you try you can't get out well in this video I'm going to show you how you can finally once and for all for the rest of your life escape the poverty programming trap because poverty program why did I say escape the poverty programming trap because poverty can exist in your experience unless it first exists in your expectation or in the expectation of someone who is responsible for you while you are growing up in the world so we have to be we have to understand that poverty is a mindset just like wealth is a mindset and we talked about that on other videos like the difference between rich people poor people middle class people is not how much money they have but it's how they think about money and what they think the primary purpose of money is poor people think the primary purpose of money is paying bills um so therefore every time they get some money they go pay some bills so to them it's not even payday it's transfer day we talked about the fact that to middle class people they think the primary purpose of money is to buy things they can't afford and pay their bills on time so they can mandate maintain good credit so they can buy more things they can't really afford but rich people believe that the primary purpose of money is to turn it into more money before you spend any of the money that you just made that's the that's the mindset that makes the difference that's the programming that makes a difference between poor people rich people middle class people now why why do we talk about program what's another reason we talk about programming we talk about programming because understand this we will never behave consistently in a way that's inconsistent with our programming your programming produces more of your results than your conscious conscious thinking does like it's ingrained in you it's ingrained in me but you can change the programming and if you've been programmed for poverty you will be poor until you change the program so what I'm going to do in this video is show you how to escape the poverty programming track so what's the first thing you have to do well you have to understand that poverty programming is a trap in that you need to escape there's a verse in Scripture it says in Proverbs 6 4 it says um go to the ant no Proverbs 6 4 it says um give not sleep to mine eyes nor Slumber to thy eyelids deliver thyself that's talking about escaping as the road from the hand of the hunter as a bird from the hand of the Fowler so you have to escape from from um sleep like you escape from like a deer escapes from a hunter like a bird escapes from a bird trapper okay and then it says um it says go to the antho Slugger consider her ways and be wise with having no guide or overseer or ruler provided her meat in the summer and gather with her food in the Harvest how long will thou sleep oh Slugger when will thou arise out of thy sleep get a little sleep a little Slumber a little folding in the hands of sleep so shall thy poverty come as one that traveleth and thy one is in our man so poverty one of the we have one of the things we have to do if we want to escape the poverty programming trap is we have to learn how to have a vehement hatred for poverty like the reason I'm not poor is because I hate poverty so much I beat it as far away from my door as I possibly could and then I beat it some more I hate poverty I hated what and maybe you don't maybe maybe maybe you hate not having other people's approval more than you hate not having your own autonomy I don't know maybe you hate uh or maybe you hate people thinking you're crazy more than you hate not having enough money in the bank like I don't really marrying your services with money I don't really care if you think that I don't care I hate being broke more than I hate you thinking that and until you hate like being broke and not and having to rob Peter and pay Paul until there's a knock on the door one day and it's Peter and Paul and they're both there standing with their hands out talking about I want my money today right if you're tired of living like that I got tired of living like that I got tired of living a life where I made this beautiful woman all these great promises and now here she is eight months pregnant with our first child and our electricity our water are both disconnected not because I wasn't willing to work hard I was working hard but what I was working on wasn't working for me it was working on me but it wasn't working for me and I got tired of having to tell have it having to tell my children no before I even knew what the question was because I knew he didn't have enough money to buy it I got tired I hated the fact that when we got ready to go on vacation after working hard for a whole year we're going to take a two-week vacation we're going to take two days and drive from Pennsylvania to Florida because I lived we lived in Pennsylvania at the time my wife's parents lived in Pennsylvania in Florida I mean and I said Pennsylvania Florida Pennsylvania to Texas my wife's parents lived in Texas we drive for two days to spend 10 days with our in-laws and then drive for two days to get back home I hated that that's what vacation was vacation wasn't going to Hawaii it wasn't going to Greece it wasn't going to Israel it wasn't flying uh going to Europe or going to Mexico or going to Canada and spending the day uh spending a week in Banff it was just like like you go and you you work on vacation so you can spend time with your family because there's no other time you can I hated it I hated it I hated everything about it I hated the fact that the four months of my married life that I was on welfare yes I was on welfare for four months I hated when I was sitting in that welfare office and that woman said to my wife she said you know we could give you more money if he wasn't in the house first of all he has a name second of all it's not the house it's our house you see how I like I got an attitude you said why because I hate poverty I hate what it does to people I hate that poverty forces people to eat junk food because they can't afford real food I hate the fact that poverty causes people to drive raggedy cars that cause them to get in accidents because they can't afford a car that'll keep them safe I hate poverty and until you hate poverty you will not beat it far away from far away from the door enough that you don't have to deal with it anymore so you have to hate poverty that's like you want to get out you want to escape the poverty program trap like just develop a disgust with being broke developed a discussed with not having enough money like love not the love of money is the root of all evil that's right the love of money is the root of all evil but you don't even know what that verse means like people who quote it to me on YouTube it's all it literally makes me chuckle every time I read it money is the root of all you well first of all it doesn't say that says the love of money is rude of all evil man it does say love money it does say love money is root of all evil but the key word in that verse is the word all which means all types all men are all kinds it does not mean all every single solitary the love of money is clearly not the root of every single solitary evil in the world like think about it it can't be if that were the case Adam and Eve would have eaten the fruit because the serpent paid them the love of money is not the root of every single solitary evil the love of money is the root of all time all types all kinds all manner of evil what does it mean the love of money is the root of all evil means people will do all types of things if they love money Right For the Love of Money people will sell drugs to Children For the Love of Money uh pharmaceutical companies will sell drugs to the population that they know will harm them For the Love of Money cigarette companies will sell tobacco the love of money is the root of all types all kinds all manner of evil that's what it means so if you want to quote it quote it in its context with its definitions and understand what you're talking about anyway I hate poverty I hate it I love it it's disgusting to me I hate what it does to people I hate what it does to families I hate the arguments that it causes between husbands and wives and the arguments that causes between children and parents and I hate the fact that there are people living in a dark and living in the dark right now because they don't have money there are people living under a bridge because they don't have money like at some place at some point in their life they did not hate poverty enough to beat it away from the door and I hate it that much like I really hate poverty I hate inconvenience I hate being hassled um and like for instance like when I fly I only fly on private jets people think I'm flexing I'm not flexing I just hate TSA I hate it it's so stupid it's like it's like they find the dumbest people in the world and they give them this job and they wanted to be a CIA agent and they couldn't pass the test so they only they could be a c a TSA agent and they think they're a CIA and they think they're saving the world for me because I have a brace on my leg oh well no we got to take you to the back room we have to scan we have to see the type of like no you don't I go through TSA all the time and I'm TSA free and they still it doesn't matter if one wants to flex if a TSA agent wants to fly there's nothing you can do you have no recourse I hate that so I fly private so I don't have to go through that I hate the fact that like the airports lose your luggage they if you miss your flight flat out of luck but if they cancel your flight you're still flat out of luck I hate it so I'm gonna make enough money so the poverty doesn't impact me in negative ways because I hate it when you hate poverty when you hate like I love having a choice money gives me choices mayor do you love money I love having a choice and I hate poverty when you do when like what do I mean when I say hate poverty and hate poverty's Partners what are properties Partners poverty has a lot of Partners I'm going to name four partners that poverty has um I'm gonna name four partners of poverty that you have to you have to hate and you have to hate them enough to keep them away from you far enough away from you so they don't rob you of all your chances so the first one that I'm going to name is sleep or I'm going to put sleep slash laziness the Bible says love not sleep that this is what it says love not sleep lest Thou come to poverty so people I love sleep I don't love sleep I sleep because it's essential I like the way sleeping makes me feel I like the way it makes me feel I like feeling rested more than I like feeling tired but I don't love sleep sleep is not an objective in itself it's an objective for an objective and that objective is to be rested enough to go out and create something that other people value enough to pay me for it so I can live my life without being in poverty because I hate poverty I know I've said that a bunch of times but I'm emphasizing that because I am telling you until you get to the point where you hate poverty like when I was poor I hated poverty enough not to watch the electronic income reducer what's that television for some people now it's their smartphones right I've hated poverty enough not to watch television I'm not going to watch other people live their dreams while I'm living a nightmare right I hated it um I hated poverty enough like my daughter was a teenager my daughter was a teenager she's the youngest she was a teenager when we had a television like what channels she was probably 14 15 16 years old before he had a television why because I was I finally felt like I was making enough money where I could afford to watch television I wasn't gonna watch it while I was broke why because I hated laziness I hate sleep so sleep that's one two gluttony I I don't even know how to spell gluttony so we're just gonna I probably didn't spell it right gluttony you spell it I can't believe this he's doing a YouTube video he didn't even spell check out good when you do your YouTube videos spell check I'm okay with it I'm okay with it see you hate misspelled words I hate poverty like everybody has their thing they hate it's okay be yourself okay so so gluttony what is what I mean like gluttony is a poverty programming trap here's what the scripture says the drunkard and the Glutton shall lie down together and drowsiness will clothe the man with Rags it says Whoa the scripture says woe unto you Oh Land when your princes eat when you're when you're Prince When your king is a child what one do you o land when your king is a child and when your princes eat in the morning for drunkenness and not for strength so the scripture says we should like gluttony like eating too much wine because when you eat too much you don't have enough energy to go out and fight poverty away from your doorstep right so gluttony okay drunkenness so drunkenness is also like yeah but man you don't understand I just need a drink after work because because I'm just so stressed out I submit to you that maybe you're stressed out because you're broke and you're needing a drink is keeping you broke now personally I quit drinking when I was 11. and now as an adult I don't have any brain cells to sacrifice on the altar of I'm stressed out I'm not going to do it I'm not why because I don't want to be broke we can call all of these we could call all of these these um partners of poverty we could call them the partners of poverty called self Indulgence self-indulgence self-indulgence creates poverty isn't that fascinating what creates wealth service to other people remember I did a video on uh money is not wealth if you want to see a video that that would really explain what I'm talking about right now it's called money is not wealth money is not wealth what's wealth wealth is your ability to create value for someone other than you that's your wealth and the greater like the greater your ability is to create a greater value for a greater number of people the wealthier you are so self-indulgence leads to Poverty now there's another one are you ready can you handle it um number four evil evil is a poverty programming trap why because poverty is the result of spiritual warfare Satan is a god of lack y'all the thief cometh not but for the steal to kill to destroy if somebody kills steals or destroys guess what you have less lack is the result of the enemy Jesus said but I am come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly okay so let's let's look at this what does the scripture say what does the scripture refer to the devil as that old serpent the devil right the old serpent that old serpent the devil what I would serve it the old servant from way back in the Garden of Eden what did he do he he deceived Eve by getting her to focus on the things she laughed and her giving focus and attention and intention to the things she lacked caused her to lose all the stuff she had they had the abundance of of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat they had the abundance of every freely the serpent said unto the woman yet if God said ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden so he took out the word freely added the word not changed the meaning the woman then took out the word freely and every she said we may eat of the fruit of the Trees of the garden but of the trees to the midst of the garden we shall not even neither shall we touch it lest we die Satan said ye shall not surely die but God doesn't know the day you eat thereof then your eyes will be open you should be as God's knowing good and evil and when the woman saw that the tree was good for food do you all see what just happened Satan's got her her attention on what was missing and as soon as she got he got her attention on what was missing then she said her intention on that thing that she had no right to and that thing caused her to lose everything she had interestingly enough in the Hebrew language the word for Rich like when it says when Abram was very rich in cattle and silver and gold it's the word assure now that's the word for Rich it's a sure but did you know that in Hebrew oftentimes when you're spelling a word one way it means one thing but if you spell it backwards it means the opposite Isn't that cool isn't that such a cool language right okay so here's what's really interesting about the word um um assure if you spell it backwards Rasha if you spell it backwards it means the opposite of poor I mean the opposite of rich and the opposite of Rich would be poor that's what you think right but it doesn't mean poor the opposite of poor Rasha or even Rasha or rush or wrote Russia or rosh means evil wow the opposite of rich is evil what does that mean here's what it means it doesn't mean poor people are evil here's what it means it means the implication is that societies that practice evil have always been throughout human history and when you think about this have always been poor societies think about that think about the poverty of the Soviet Union the anti-god Soviet Union think about the poverty that's associated with the Witchcraft of a place like Haiti it's all I'm saying is evil creates poverty and so if you're going to hate if you if you want to escape the poverty programming trap you have to you have to hate you have to hate poverty and its partners and then you have to fall in love with the partners of prosperity what are the partners of prosperity partners of prosperity are diligence it's working like hard uh the hand of the diligent maketh rich but the slothful shall be under tribute right you got to fall in love with serving other people serving others do you realize all of the money that you desire right now that you don't have it's in somebody else's pocket they'd happily hand it over if you could provide something for them they desired more than they desired the money how cool is that see your pro your biggest problem is your your biggest problem is you only think about solving your own problems I think about solving other people's problems like I obsess over other people's problems so when you fall in love with the partners of diligence you can be diligent okay I mean you can be wealthy how about this this is one of my favorites business business is one of the partners of prosperity here's what it says in the New Testament and that you studied this is the first uh uh first Thessalonians chapter 4 verse 11 and 12. it says and that you study to be quiet and to do your own business working with your hands as we commanded you why that you may walk honestly toward them that are without that's talking about paying your bills on time and that ye may have lack of nothing how many people do you know that pay their bills on time and have lack of nothing almost none can I get a witness right so why because we're not practicing these principles and we've not fallen in love with the partners of prosperity another partner of prosperity is wisdom the Bible says there's treasure there's treasure and wine and oil and substance in the dwelling place of the wise what is wisdom well wisdom has some prerequisites first prerequisite is is ignorance ignorance is the absence of Truth the second one is knowledge knowledge is the accumulation of Truth the third one is understanding understanding is the assimilation of Truth and then finally wisdom is the application of Truth so wisdom is an action word it's actually doing the things that you know will work because you know they work and The Wizard is from above is not the same as the wisdoms from above from beneath like Earthly wisdom the scripture says like the wisdom of this world is Earthly sensual and devilish what is that it's the enemy like literally the wisdom of this world is the enemy what enemy The World the Flesh and the devil Earthly sensual and devilish same thing the wisdom of from above is what I want you to wrap your mind around what I'm about to say the wisdom that's from above is first pure then Peaceable it's not first Peaceable then pure so the wisdom is from above doesn't seek to get along with everybody at any cost it stands for what's right first and then after it's pure then it's Peaceable then it's easy to be entreated well wisdom is one of the partners of prosperity so if you fall in love with learning you fall in love with business you fall in love with serving other people and you're diligent about it you can escape the poverty programming trap I trust that this will help you make sure you go and watch our video on how to get rich because that will help you on your wealth Journey as well and it'll help you escape the poverty programming trap I'll see you in
