John Avanzini - Financial Breakthrough

Financial Breakthrough

Child of God, let me alert you to the fact that Satan is clearly waging a battle of containment against the Saints of God. He is not concerned nearly so much with driving you backwards as he is with containing you where you are, and keeping you from getting where God wants you to go. Can you identify with that?

In your prayer life, if you decide to pursue a closer walk with God, the devil will let you continue to pray at your current prayer level. As soon as you try to break into a new dimension of prayer, frequent distractions occur: people come to visit you, your hours change at work, or the phone rings. Anytime you start to move decisively forward, Satan increases his battle of containment.

You may have experienced this containment in the realm of holiness or sanctification. You achieve a certain walk, then you stop growing. You do not especially go backwards, but you just find it increasingly difficult to move forward. Please understand , that is the stark reality of Satan's battle of containment against you!

As you start to grow in the revelations I am bringing to you in this book, you'll quickly realize that at this very moment, the devil is waging a powerful battle of containment in your finances. He will tell you that you are getting along okay, so just don't rock the boat! He will even try to deceive you into thinking you're just reading another prosperity message, but do not be distracted!

Please recognize that you're reading the vital biblical message your spirit man has been hungering after, the message of deliverance from insufficiency! Do not let the devil continue to contain you in your present financial dilemma!

The Truth You Know

Many Christians believe the Bible says the truth will set you free. The Bible does not say the truth will set you free. The Bible says something very different. Read carefully what it actually says:

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 8:32

Do you see it? It is the truth you know that has the divine power to set you free. Please hear me. The only truth that can set you free is the truth you personally know. You can walk around with the truth (the Bible) in your right hand, placed lovingly over your breast; you can walk around with that precious Bible right over your lungs, and still have a horrible cancer grow in those lungs that will eventually snuff out your very life.

Many Christians die prematurely in the presence of truth, with the Bible on their nightstand next to their death bed. Keep this thought in mind. The presence of truth cannot and does not heal! You see, it is not the presence of truth, but the knowledge of truth that has power and sets you free. Hear the Scripture:

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 8:32

It is time to order our livesline upon line, precept upon precept, concept upon biblical concept. We must build a foundation of truth so powerful that Satan cannot contain it.

Now hear me well. I want you to break out of the containment building that Satan has constructed around your finances. However, please be careful not to mistake a mere penetration of Satan's containment in your finances as a breakthrough. There is a vast difference between a penetration and a breakthrough, and I want nothing less for you than a total breakthrough!

Perhaps you have made an occasional penetration in the wall of containment Satan has placed around your finances. Maybe you have already gained enough bits and pieces of knowledge to understand that God does not intend for you to be poor, and He has a biblical plan of abundance for your life.

I want you to go beyond bits and pieces. It is time for you to start gathering great quantities of spiritual power. When this power is complete, it will bring about a total breakthrough in your finances, which will move you permanently beyond Satan's containment!

Remember, anytime you want to break through a spiritual barrier, it takes great spiritual energy; it takes the power of God working through you! The breakthrough comes only when you allow that energy, that input of biblical truth, to continue and continue to grow. It literally takes a violent effort, not casual daydreaming and wishing, to accomplish it.

The same energy that has brought you previous breakthroughs, the same level of effort that has swept you to the past victories, must now come forth for you to achieve a financial breakthrough. You must gather these biblical principles and apply them, not so that you can muster a little hole and peer through a small, rapidly closing penetration, but so that you can achieve nothing less than a total breakthrough!

Satan has contained you in your finances long enough! Jericho's walls must come down! As you understand the truth of this powerful revelation, as you know this truth by putting it into practical application in your life, you will experience a powerful new day in your finances.

If there is still any doubt that Satan is containing you in your finances, let me quickly prove to you that he is. Right now, you can think of several people who are not as smart nor qualified as you are who are making more money than you make. How can this be unless the devil has put an invisible wall around your financial potential? You see, the devil does not care how much money non-Christians make, because as long as they control it, their money will not be used to finance the preaching of the gospel.

The rock stars probably won't finance the gospel. The raunchy movie producers don't plan to give a dime for the next major evangelistic crusade. That's why the devil does not contain them as he does you and me!

You see, financing the end-time harvest is up to us as born-again Christians. If you do not have the financial breakthrough God wants you to have, His Church will never rise to the full level of the vision He has for it.

The only way to smash and destroy the wall of containment around your finances is through a violent, highly energetic act on your part.

I don't use the word violent at my choosing, but God's Word literally tells us to get violent and use our God-given force (spiritual energy).

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Matthew 11:12

If you want to make a breakthrough in your finances, determine right now that you are going to take whatever action is necessary to crush the devil's wall of containment around you, breaking through by force and violence into a new level of understanding and knowledge in the area of your finances.

Suddenly, you will realize that God's Word is concentrated so strongly in you that you have enough spiritual energy to come with violent spiritual force against the invisible wall that is resisting you and pushing against your finances. You will realize that you can blow that wall asunder!

You will charge forth into your newly discovered wealth and prosperity, receiving literally more than enough to help finance every worthwhile Christian ministry that God directs you to help.

I think you can now see that if you really want this financial breakthrough, it will take more than a penetration. Although you have hungered for this breakthrough, you probably never possessed enough of the spiritual power, the concentrated energy, to break out of those satanic walls of containment, into true financial success and freedom.

Child of God, you are at a critical point. Now is the time for your breakthrough! Read. Study. Absorb. Then take violent action! Begin to seize the financial power you have according to the Word of God!

Get Violent in God

"Why is violent action necessary?" you might ask. You see, those old teachings and traditions about being poor have made the Word of God about abundance ineffective for you. This verse is a good example:
