Recession Proof Living

This Past Sunday at Tree of Life's Recession Proof Living Conference, I released some prophetic keys to help maintain a Recession Proof Lifestyle.

  • Shake Recession from Your Life
  • Confess Abundance
  • Save Exponentially
  • Give Extravagantly
  • Live with Integrity
  • Work Ethically
  • Spend Wisely
  • Fast Regularly
  • Exist in the Glory

Shake Recession from Your Life
Don't let others confess a recession mindset over you! Every time you are in an environment that Satan is using to instill a recession mindset, literally shake your garments and pray that the recession won't cling to you. It's amazing to see what a little prophetic action will do!

Confess Abundance
Are you saying things like, "This economy is killing me," "I will never be able to afford gas at $4 a gallon," "We are in a recession," etc.? Stop giving Satan lip duty! Speak blessings over your finances and over your workplace.

Save Exponentially
If you don't have a savings plan, today is the day to create one. Save while everyone else is spending. If your savings are not growing, you are living a recession lifestyle. Start with $1 and move to 1% every pay day - grow from there.

Give Extravagantly
Recession lifestyle will tempt you to hoard your money just for yourself - so do the opposite! Bless someone else instead - follow the principles of sowing and reaping. Give and it will be given back to you!

Live with Integrity
Live as if Heaven's economy was invested in your integrity, even the secret hidden areas. God will always honor a person who lives with integrity.

Work Ethically
Who is your boss? Is it your employer or is it Jesus? Work as if Jesus was watching your time clock, your lunch breaks, and your overall performance. Make decisions that will bring Him glory and don't cut corners!

Spend Wisely
This is not the time to fall back on bills owed. Don't fall prey to the temptation to "rob Peter to pay Paul." Find a way to pay both so that no one turns your bill over to collection. Don't get over your head with new contracts, bills, etc.

Fast Regularly
Isaiah tells us that fasts were declared to break the oppression of a spirit of poverty. Give something up and seek God's face. The rewards are out of this world!

Exist in the Glory
There is a new strategy of warfare coming to the front lines. By your very existence in God's presence, demons of lack and poverty have to go! Find yourself in the glory and you won't have to come against spiritual forces; they will simply have to flee because you are full of God's blessings. Your existence scares them away!
