Dear Friends and family:

I am in Limon Colorado ministering and then joining Peter Wagner for the Chancellor’s cohort this week. As we continue to break the spirit of poverty I want to share some of Carl Dasher’s teaching, Attack the Lack! Carl leads our “Debt Free Living” course. I would encourage you to join his class next time it is offered.

A few days ago, in a very special moment. . .the Lord gave me three words. . ATTACK THE LACK.

 As I prayed and pondered what He meant, I felt directed to do a scriptural search on the word “lack.” My first thought was that He wanted me to deal with financial lack, but it soon became obvious that our Heavenly Father wants us attacking lack in every area of our lives. First, let’s look at financial lack. When you move in faith and obedience you will never lack!

 

God meets every possible need.

• “Yet we have both straw and provision for our donkeys and bread and wine also for me, your handmaid, and the young man who is with your servants; there is no lack of anything.” Judges 19:19 AMP

 

God is able to meet your every need regardless of how great or how small. 

• “When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack; each gathered according to his need.”   Exodus 16:18 AMP

 

God’s provisions are never ending. 

• “A land in which you shall eat food without shortage and lack nothing in it; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.” Deuteronomy 8:9 AMP

 

Lack of money can make you homeless.

• “If you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you.” Proverbs 22:27 NIV

 

If you spend money foolishly, you lack good sense.

• “Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense.” Proverbs 12:11 TLB

 

What can you do to never experience financial lack? 

• Giving to the poor will keep you from experiencing lack.

“Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed.” Proverbs 28:27 NLT

 

When you’re helping those less fortunate, you will not lack. 

• “That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.” 1 Thessalonians 4:12

 

A final thought. . .

 

Lack is one four-letter word that you want to keep out of your vocabulary and your life.

 

The scriptures are clear. . .God loves you. . .God hates lack. . .so God never wants you experiencing or manifesting what He hates.
