Bible verses you can use to pray, say as Christian affirmations
and use for your Christian meditation sessions so that you can
wage your Christian spiritual warfare against the spirit of poverty
and live in financial abundance.
***
Regardless of how many times you have unsuccessfully tried to
break free from the bondage of poverty, you must not despair and
accept to die in paucity. You have to decide to believe that God
would like you to prosper since His Word says
Blessed be God who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
(Psalm 35:27)
Therefore, since Jesus came so that we can Have life and have it
to the full, (John 10:10)
you have to combine spiritual, mental, verbal, and physical
interventions to form your own holistic deliverance ministry to
fight poverty and live in abundance. The first spiritual intervention
is to pray and ask God to help you become financially free.
Understand that even if other humans beings do not have time to
listen to what you have to say because of your financial status,
God will listen to you For the Lord hears the poor (Psalm
69:33) and He will deliver the needy when he cries, the poor, and
the person who has no helper. (Psalm 72:12)
In addition, not only does the Lord listen to the poor, but He also
Raises the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash
heap so that He may seat him with princes. (Psalm113:7-8) We
can see a practical example of this when King David sent for
Mephibosheth who

was the crippled son of Jonathan and told him that You shall eat
at my table (2 Samuel 9:7) after making wealthy by declaring
that I will restore to you Mephibosheth all the land that belonged
to King Saul your grandfather. (2 Samuel 9:7)
Therefore, even if you have been living in seemingly hopeless
circumstances and even if you consider yourself utterly useless
like Mephibosheth who asked King David, What is your servant,
that you should show kindness to such a dead dog as I? (2
Samuel 9:8) understand that God can cause you to be raised like
from the oblivion of poverty to the prominence of being
seated with princes.Understand also that God can change your
financial situation even if you are crippled physically,
educationally or materially like He did for Mephibosheth who
could not help himself acquire his grandfathers real estate since
he was lame. Therefore, pray because God can translate paupers
from poverty to prosperity, and because He
also reassures us that For the oppression of the poor, for the
sighing of the needy, now I will arise," says the Lord. "I will set
him in the safety for which he yearns". (Psalm 12:5) So pray and
ask Him for the financial freedom that you yearn. As you pray, use
awesome Bible verses which are the foundation of any
deliverance ministry and Christian spiritual warfare because the
Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit that God has
given us to fight with. (Ephesians 6:17) We will therefore will call
the Scriptures that we will use
to fight poverty SWORD WORDS.
SWORD WORDS that you can use as personal poverty deliverance
prayers include:
1. Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your
people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation so that I may see the

benefit of Your chosen ones and rejoice in the gladness of Your

nation and glory with Your inheritance. (Psalm 106:4-5)
As you pray, believe that God will help you since having faith in
God and in His Word is how you hold up your shield of faith which
is one of our spiritual weapons and the weapon that is able to
quench all the fiery darts of the enemy. (Ephesians 6:16)
In addition to praying for yourself, ask your Pastor to pray for you
and attend Deliverance services so that you can learn different
spiritual warfare prayers and receive deliverance from poverty.
After praying, put on the helmet of salvation which is another of
the weapons of our warfare
being part of the armor of God that we need to put on to fight our
spiritual battles. (Ephesians 6:14-17)
All you need to put on this helmet of salvation is to say with your
mouth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and believe in your
heart that God raised Him from the dead when He died for our
sins on the cross and you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
The next spiritual step, which also doubles up as a mental step, is
to remove all negative thoughts from your mind so that you can
be renewed in the spirit of your mind. To do so, set specific
Christian meditation sessions during the day when you can
meditate on prosperity scriptures
such as:
1. Those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. (Psalm
34:9-10)
2. No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
(Psalm 84:11)
3. The desire of the righteous will be granted. (Proverbs 10:24)

4. He sets the poor on high, far from affliction, and makes their
families like a flock. (Psalm 107:41)
5. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and it
comes down from the Father. (James 1:17)
6. The Lord is my shepherd and I shall not lack. He makes me to
lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul He prepares a table before me in the
presence of my enemies. He anoints my head with oil and my cup
runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days
of my life. (Adapted Psalm 23)
Ensure that you read at least one chapter of the Bible everyday
because the Gospel is another of our warfare weapons. Combine
reading the Word of God with speaking the Word of God because
it is the sword of the Spirit that we are to wield to fight our
spiritual battles. Even if you
are facing mind boggling debts, do not utter self defeating words
of financial death, defeat or
destruction as you will be agreeing with the enemy who is trying
to destroy you economically. Instead, confess positive Christian
affirmations such as:
1. I am blessed when I come in and I am blessed when I go out.
(Adapted Deuteronomy 28:6)
2. I trust in the living God who gives me richly all things to enjoy.
(Adapted 1 Timothy 6:17)
3. My eyes look expectantly to You, O God and You give me food
in due season. You open Your hand and satisfy my desire.
(Adapted Psalm 145:14-16)
4. I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted and
justice for the poor. (Psalm 140:12)

5. The needy shall not always be forgotten and the expectation of

the poor shall not perish. (Psalm 9:18)
6. My sufficiency is from God. (Adapted 2 Corinthians 3:5)
7. My land/business/blog will yield its increase and become
profitable. (Adapted Psalm 85:12)
8. He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us
all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
(Romans 8:32)
After renewing your mind and your mouth with the Word of God,
you have to renew your actions by living right. Be righteous and
truthful in all your financial and other dealings because the
breastplate of righteousness and the belt of truth are the other
parts of the armor of God that
we need to put on to fight our spiritual battles. (Ephesians 6:1417)
Other physical anti-poverty interventions that you can engage
include breaking all poverty promoting habits such as buying
things emotionally or to impress other people and breaking
budgets. In addition, position yourself for prosperity by using your
gifts and talents to make money. If you
are working under terrible circumstances like Jacob did, do not
despair. Keep your faith in God like Jacob for he said to his former
employer Laban, I served you fourteen years for your daughters
and six years for your flock, and you changed my wages ten
times. Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the
Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely you
would have sent me away empty handed. God has seen my
affliction and the labor of my hands. (Genesis 31:41-42)

Therefore, believe that God is seeing your affliction or job stress

that you suffer at work and the amount of effect you are putting
in and He will help you the way He helped Jacob even though he
had to persevere for twenty years under Labans treachery and
trickery. God helped Jacob to
prosper under the stressful conditions he was working in so that
when he left employment, he was able to prepare a gift for his
brother Esau that consisted of 200 female goats and 20 male
goats, 200 ewes and 20 rams, 30 milk camels with their colts, 40
cows and 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys and 10 foals. (Genesis
32:13-15)
If you are not able to get a regular job, consider it a blessing in
disguise and look into ways of how you can begin making money
online. You can do this by blogging to make money, affiliate
marketing (or selling other peoples products), becoming a virtual
assistant (VA), writing blog posts for other bloggers as a freelance
writer or even tutoring online. Even if you are sick or disabled in
any way, believe that you can still break the chains of poverty
and make money from home by using your computer. Therefore,
begin by taking advantage of the world wide opportunity that you
have right in front of your eyes and work hard. Work hard even
when the going gets very rough and trust that God can fulfill your
desires right there in your disadvantaged situation just as He
maintained the Israelites for 40 years in the
wilderness. He rained manna on them, made quail landed near
their tents, and ensured that their clothes didnt wear out or get
sick with their feet swelling.Therefore,
1. Trust in the Lord
2. Do good
3. Dwell in the land

4. Feed on His faithfulness

5. Delight yourself also in the Lord
And He shall give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:3-4)
In addition, since God has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant
(Psalm 35:27) ensure that you are also serving God in one way or
another as you seek financial independence. This could be by
donating a portion of your time or products or proceeds to help
others and let them know more about Him.
