BREAKING FREE FROM DEBT

Life. Money. Hope. - Part 2 of 3 |September 18, 2022

Gabe Kolstad | @gabekolstad

Bondage is Broken With:

1. Gazelle INTENSITY

“Go and beg to have your name erased…do it now!...Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter, like a bird fleeing from a net.”   -Proverbs 6:3-5

2. Debt SNOWBALL
6 Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise!  7 Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, 8 they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter.    -Proverbs 6:6-8

Steps Out of Debt:

1. You must SAVE money

The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they get.    -Proverbs 21:20

2. Quit BORROWING more money

Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is servant to the lender.   -Proverbs 22:7

3. PRAY (It really works!)

6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.    

-Philippians 4:6-7

4. SELL something

Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!    -Ecclesiastes 5:10

5. Get a SIDE-HUSTLE

17 She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. 18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night.   -Proverbs 31:17-18
