Creflo Dollar - The Miracle of Debt Release

TABLE OF CONTENTS

INTRODUCTION

Child of God, Jesus is on His way back! I would not be at all surprised if He showed up within the not-too-distant future. Everyone is expecting Him to return in the year 2000even sinners. But I do not believe He will come then. Why? There is a New Testament Scripture that must first be fulfilled.

2 Peter 3:3 ,4

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

You see, after the day of Jesus' anticipated return has come and gone, the scoffers and unbelievers will mock us saying, "He's not going to show up." But if you don't believe anything else you read in the Bible, believe the Scriptures that confirm His inevitable return (Acts 1:11; 15:16-18). However, before you start rejoicing and planning for that glorious occasion, know that He will not be coming back for a Church that is broke, depressed, and out of His divine will!

Jesus will not come back for a Church enslaved by debt, whose finances are used to contribute to the wealth of the wicked. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 5:27 that He's coming back for a Church without spot, wrinkle, or blemish. Debt is a wrinkle! That means that the Body of Christ will have to be debt-free before Jesus comes back. Our finances must be used exclusively to fund the Gospel and to bless others. In other words, as a Body, we must corporately experience the miracle of debt release. We will have to renew our minds with the Word of God to see debt as He sees it. Then we can take the necessary steps to banish debt from our lives. God has made provision in His Word that we should "owe no man any thing , but to love one another... (Romans 13:8), but we've got to do our part.

If you have never considered the possibility of living debt-free, let this book be the beginning to a life of freedom from the oppression of debt. If you only learn one thing from this book, learn that there is an anointing available to miraculously release you from every financial burden. Child of God, you can be free from debt in Christ Jesus; and "if the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed" (John 8:36).

DELIVERANCE FROM CAPTIVITY

Luke 4:18 ,19

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

If you think debt cancellation will happen without the anointing, think again. In this passage of Scripture, Jesus proclaims He is anointed to preach the Gospel the "good news." The good news is that Jesus has the "burden-removing, yoke-destroying" power of God to handle every situation. He boldly proclaims that He is anointed to remove your burdens and destroy your yoke of debt.

When God purposed to remove the burden of debt, it was an act of the anointing. Jesus is anointed to release those in captivity. If you've ever been in debt, you know that debt is captivity. The good news is that He has an anointing to remove your debt. Now, if you're waiting to see what the government or the stock market is going to do about your debt, you're looking in the wrong places. Why? Because only God alone has the power to miraculously cancel your debt and give you the life of freedom promised in His Word.

The power of God is where your faith should be for the answer to this and every problem you face in life. First Corinthians 2:5 says that we should have no faith "...in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." God has a way to get you out of whatever financial difficulty you're in right now. If debt release is what you're after, have confidence in God's powerHis Word. Begin to factor in the anointing whenever you are preparing a budget or tackling a mountain of bills. You've got to settle in your heart that there is indeed an anointing available to wipe out all of your debt!

God's anointing can remove every burden and destroy every yoke in your life. It's the same with your debt. You may think that going to the bank to borrow money is the solution, but you're simply adding to the problem. Think about it when you borrow money you're still in debt. Instead, when you are faced with a lack of resources or finances, place a demand on the anointing of God. Speak the Word over your situation, thank God for the anointing power to get you out, and put pressure on the Word to remove your debt forever. I tell you it works!

Remember when Paul came to Jesus complaining about the thorn in his side and asked Him to remove it? Jesus responded "...My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). God's willingness to get involved in your affairs never changes. That same grace and anointing is as sufficient for you today as it was for Paul then. The anointing is guaranteed to deliver you from the captivity of debt. Hallelujah!

DIRECTED NOT DRIVEN

The anointing is defined as "the burden-removing, yoke-destroying power of God." If you neither know nor have confidence in the anointing that is on Jesus, you will continue to bear your burdens alone. You will live a life driven by your situations and circumstances rather than one directed by the Word of God. A driven life is filled with stress, worry, and fear; a Word-directed life is filled with peace.

Psalm 37:23 reads, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way." When you allow God to order your steps, you will live in the peace of being in His perfect will. The written Word and time spent in the presence of God should serve as your reference guide for direction.

It is God's will that we prosper. Psalm 35:27 says that God takes "...pleasure in the prosperity of his servant." However, prosperity is more than money; it is freedom from debt. Getting out of debt and staying in complete control of your finances puts you in a prosperous position to be a blessing. God is pleased when you are free to do whatever He directs you to do with your finances. It brings Him great seed to advance the Gospel.

Living a directed life puts you in a position to bless others. In fact, it is God's will that we bless others. Genesis 12:3 says, "...and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." There is no way to meet someone else's needs if your own needs are not being met. If you are "robbing Peter to pay Paul," you are being driven into hopelessness rather than being directed into joy.

THE JOY OF THE LORD

I want to help you get to the place where you are living a life directed by the Spirit of Godthe ideal place to be. As you begin the process of debt cancellation, I encourage you to maintain a spirit of joy. Remember "...the joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10).

The joy of the Lord is your defense against every challenge in life. The spirit of debt cannot harm you if you're walking in the joy of the Lord and the power of His Word. Don't allow yourself to become depressed in the process of debt cancellation. Keep in the forefront of your mind the fact that God's Word will do what it says it will do. You may or may not see results right away, but don't give up! Even if others around you experience manifestation before you do, stay encouraged. God is about to perform a miracle in your life. The Word says, "Rejoice with them that do rejoice..." (Romans 12:15). By doing so, you will set yourself up for the same miracle. Stick to the Word. It works!

THE STEPS OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN

Some Christians stay in the same predicament even after hearing anointed teachings that have the power to change their lives. Decide now that you will not be one of them. Failing to execute what you learn produces empty results.
