REAL WORTH REAL RICHES 8-20-21 VIDEO TRUE RICHES 2
Wealth is defined as abundance. More than necessary to live on. A prosperous life. In the Spirit wealth and riches take a backseat to what it means to know God for yourself. His faithfulness. Abraham was a wealthy man very rich but he wasnt known as much for that as he was known for being rich in faith. God considers Salvation His riches.
Luke 18:22 When Jesus heard that, he said, "Then there's only one thing left to do: Sell everything you own and give it away to the poor. You will have riches in heaven. Then come, follow me."
23 This was the last thing the official expected to hear. He was very rich and became terribly sad. He was holding on tight to a lot of things and not about to let them go.
24 Seeing his reaction, Jesus said, "Do you have any idea how difficult it is for people who have it all to enter God's kingdom?
25 I'd say it's easier to thread a camel through a needle's eye than get a rich person into God's kingdom."
26 "Then who has any chance at all?" the others asked.
27 "No chance at all," Jesus said, "if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you trust God to do it." MSG

Mark 10:21 Jesus looked him hard in the eye and loved him! He said, "There's one thing left: Go sell whatever you own and give it to the poor. All your wealth will then be heavenly wealth. And come follow me." MSG
LUKE 12:32-34 You might sometimes feel so vulnerable and overwhelmed by the odds against you, like a fragile little flock of lambs amidst wolves! You have nothing to fear - it is your Father's delight to give you the kingdom.
12:33 From now on, do life from a different perspective! Stuff does not define you! Exchange whatever it was that you've been doing all along under the old system of performance, for this new life of adventure! Get it over and done with! Be compassion driven in your sharing and giving; this takes hoarding out of the equation. Get rid of your antique purses, which typically are your old, worn-out, performance-based ideas. Instead, become creative in the adventure of trading with a new kind of purse - one that is loaded with heaven's currency - a treasure which cannot be exhausted, since it cannot be broken into or stolen, neither can it be ruined by moths! The stuff you've been hoarding before, are clearly targets for thieves and they get moth eaten anyway!
12:34 The heart is naturally drawn to the place where one's treasure is. MIRROR ↕↕↕
Luke 12:32 Don't be afraid of missing out. You're my dearest friends! The Father wants to give you the very kingdom itself.

33 Now, go and sell what you have and give to those in need; you will be making deposits in your account in heaven, an account that will never be taken from you. Your gifts will become a secure and unfailing treasure, deposited in heaven forever.
34 Where you deposit your treasure, that is where you fix your thoughtsand your heart will long to be there also. TPT

LUKE 12:15-21 Then he said to everyone, "Be on your guard to protect yourselves from any trace of covetousness or superfluous desires! Things outside of you do not define you, so, be watchful not to reduce your life to the typical rat-race of getting more and more stuff; much rather discover how rich you already are in yourself! Life is not about getting; it's about giving!
12:16 He then told them the following parable, A certain man's fields were yielding abundant crops.
12:17 He then reasoned within himself, plotting what to do with such a large harvest.
12:18 Ah, he reckoned, here's what I'll do! I will demolish the old granaries and build much bigger and better barns wherein I may gather and treasure all my grain and belongings!
12:19 And Ill say to myself, You have a lot of good things in store, enough to go on a permanent vacation! You might as well indulge and begin the feast right now, eat and drink your fill. Endless merriness awaits you!

LUKE 16:13 Not even a domestic worker can be employed by two masters; their devotion will be apparent - it can only be the money or the boss!
