"My family has always been poor, and I'll always be poor too."
How it sounds in your head: You see your dad work three jobs and still struggle. Your mom clips coupons and you wear hand-me-downs. Your friends have new cars and college funds while you're applying for every scholarship knowing you'll graduate with debt. This is just how it is for people like you.
"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."
-- Galatians 3:13-14Enemy whispers generational limitation to keep you from your covenant inheritance.
You've literally never seen anyone in your family break through financially. The evidence surrounds you—family reunions are at the park because nobody can afford to host, Christmas gifts come from the dollar store, and every conversation ends with 'we can't afford it.'
Ruth was a poor foreign widow gleaning leftover grain just to survive, zero inheritance, zero prospects. One day of favor with Boaz and she went from poverty to owning the field she was gleaning in, becoming great-grandmother to King David.
I REFUSE the lie that my family's poverty is my destiny. IT IS WRITTEN that Christ redeemed me from the curse and placed Abraham's blessing on me by covenant, not by my family history. My past stops at the cross. IT IS WRITTEN in Deuteronomy 28 that I am blessed in the city and in the field, blessed coming in and going out, the head and not the tail. The BARAK that protected liars and deceivers protects me—not because I earned it but because I'm in covenant. I am Abraham's seed, an heir according to PROMISE. My future is not determined by my parents' bank account but by my Father's unlimited resources.
Your Father is running toward you with the family ring of authority, not waiting for you to build wealth first. He's already commanded the blessing on your storehouse—He's just waiting for you to realize the pig pen of poverty was never your home.
