I Choose To Pray To Play and Not Pay To Play In Life!!

In our society today, everything is based in many cases on money and the value of how much money one possesses! This mentality has crept into all facets of life. If you do not possess much money you are not welcome in many social circles or clubs. Sadly to say, the church has adapted to this worldly point of view as well! Money in itself is not evil! The Bible declares, "that the love of money is the root of all evil"! We all have to have money to function in society; however, when we start allowing money to rule and govern every aspect of our lives is where we fall into the devil's snares or pitfalls. Literally, from a worldly perspective, you have to "pay to play" so to speak and if you don't have as much money as the next person you can not measure up or have a say in their social circles. This is how it is this day in time in all facets of everyday life. Money is the driving force in many areas of life. The greed of it is tied to many avenues in our society. I will elaborate on a few such as abortion, adoption, sex trafficking, company stocks, the election process etc.. Starting with abortion in our society. Millions upon millions of dollars are passing hands within abortions clinics. A baby's life is not of value when it comes down to the agencies that sponsors abortion on demand. Also, adoptions as well is another money driven agency. It entails so much red tap and bureaucracy making it challenging or even in many cases impossible to adopt a child and bring them into a loving home to live with loving parents. When it is all said and done, it is all tied to a "pay to play" mentality in our society. Sex trafficking is another area where the demonic view and use of money is being filtrated in our society and it is influenced from the pit of hell. Lastly, company stock and our election process are other "pay to play" avenues in our society. The ones who own the most stocks or the party who garners the most during the campaign season are the ones who are looked upon as major players in the process these days. HOWEVER, the Bible states that whoever uses their money to help the poor is the most blessed! It states, 'whoever gives to the poor makes a loan to God", and when I last checked God is the owner of both the rich and the poor! Who wouldn't want to practice God's rules and regulations when it comes to money and the way He teaches us through His word to value it. He wants us to be blessed on a personal level so that we can be a blessing to others who are in need!! Again, money is a necessity in our day to day affairs; however, the love of money is a pitfall designed by satan himself! 

We all need money to buy all the necessary things that we need in life. It only turns into trouble and greed when we begin to allow our money to drive and rule us in every aspect of life. Also, the use of money to gain us power to promote toxic ideologies are the most demonic way to use money. Money in itself is not a problem, but the problem occurs when we place the value of money over what really matters. Jesus had a lot of positive things to say about money when it comes down to using money to build His Kingdom here in the earth realm. He has no problem with us having money as long as we do not allow the deceitfulness of worldly lust to creep into our heart regarding possessing or having money. We are to own money and not allow money to own or possess us! We are instructed in God's Word to seek first the Kingdom of God and all His righteousness and everything else would be added unto us. Also, we must bear in mind to worship and love God and people and not the money that we possesses! When we remember these principle we will maintain a healthy balance regarding our decisions involving money. We must keep in mind that God owns us and all that we possess and when we truly realize this fact, it will help us to keep everything about money in proper perspective. As a matter of fact, the Bible declares, " it is better to give than to receive". I feel great when I give to bless others monetarily to meet their needs, because in doing so, I have extended the Love of Jesus to another! Money can be a great tool when it is placed in the hands or possession of people who have surrendered their lives to Christ and His Kingdom! Also, those who have allowed their minds to be governed by Christ's example according to the facts from the WORD OF GOD, THE BIBLE!!  

I choose the better judgement regarding money decisions and all other important decisions that pertains to life and Godliness. I choose to "pray to play" in life everyday! In doing so, I will always know the will of God. He will instruct me and give me the wisdom, knowledge and understanding how to use money for righteous causes in the earth. Through prayer I will possess the ability to allow money to be a useful tool to provide for my family and I, and also to help others and to establish God Kingdom here in earth. When you pray to God for directions in regards to money, you will know how to play your role in life to better yourself as well as others in society. Prayer is the key to the Kingdom of God and faith unlocks the door; therefore, "pray to play" is the best way to please God regarding your money and all other areas of your life as well! Prayer is a powerful force we as Christians possesses if we use and execute its practice in our every decision in life each and every day! You can't go wrong when you sincerely go to the Lord in prayer! Prayer clears our souls from all unfruitful lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life. This is why it is important to plan all of our money decisions with God in prayer, because He is the best financial partner that we can ever have in our day to day affairs in life. Our soul loves to be in control and especially when it comes down to our money, so we need the ONE who own everything to help us navigate through life when it comes down to money decisions. Again, the BIBLE is full of advice when it come to how to conduct our lives and how to distribute our money as well. We as Christians must not conduct our lives and our money decisions like the world, because we are in this world but we or not of this world. We are tied to another world that will last forever and that is where our stewardship of money and everything else that pertains to life should be anchored to in reality! 

Again, I choose to "pray to play" and not "pay to play"! God will direct my path when it come down to money decisions and all other decisions in life if I "pray to play"; however, on the other hand all who are in the game of "pay to play" are on a slippery slope in life because satan loves it when we control and direct our own decisions in life and when it is all said and done at the end of your life, he will see to it that you live with him forever in hell! If you "pray to play" God promises that he will direct the path of all who seek HIM and especially if you seek HIM with your whole heart! In the days ahead, all the ones who will "pray to play will keep being prosperous because they are putting God first in their decisions, but on the other hand, all of those who will continue to "pay to play" are going to be exposed and brought down into the depts of poverty and despair, because satan' s schemes leads only to destruction! He is the world's greatest child abuser! Papa Father hears the prayers of HIS children and HE is a good Father, who knows how to give good gifts to HIS children! All those who have received HIS SON, JESUS as their Savior and LORD are called HIS children! We are all GOD'S creation, but it's not until we repent and become sorry for our sins and accept JESUS His only begotten SON as our Savior that we have the rights to become HIS children! John 1:12, states, "But to all who believed HIM (JESUS) and accepted HIM, HE gave the right to become children of GOD".  AMEN!!!

I exhort, all who read this blog post, to "pray to play", in regards to your money decisions in the days ahead, so that God Almighty, Our Righteous Judge on Judgement Day will be able to say to you, "Well done my Good and Faithful servant!!! In closing, "pray to play" or 'pay to play"? PICK ONE, but you can't choose both "A candle was made to be burned from one end and not from both"! SELAH!! GET READY, JESUS IS COMING SOON!!

MANY BLESSINGS, ALWAYS

"QUEENY" 

SCRIPTURE TEXTS:

*Hebrews 13:5- Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

*Proverbs 17:16- Why should fools have money in hand to buy wisdom, when they are not able to understand it?

*Matthew 6:24- "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one despise the other. You cannot serve both GOD and money.

*Matthew 21:12-13- Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. "It is written," he said to them, "My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it 'a den of robbers." (THEY WERE "paying to play" until JESUS SHOWED UP)!!!!

*1 Timothy 6:17-19- Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

*Luke 12:33- Sell your possessions (your excess) and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.
