The Detox
We all know “proper planning prevents poor performance” and “if you fail to plan, you have planned to fail.” Do you want more money? Are you asking God for financial increase? What is your plan to get out of debt? How do you plan to experience financial freedom?
The purpose of a fast is to help you separate yourself from worldly temptations and pleasures so that you can draw closer to God and experience miraculous signs, wonders and breakthroughs. A financial fast is much the same. By avoiding unnecessary spending, you draw closer to making your financial dreams a reality.
You will not only see where your money is going, you will have a good handle on breaking the poverty spirit so that you get on your “path to prosperity.” The “road to your wealthy place” begins with you knowing what’s in your house that you are wasting with your hands.
