“HOW DO I KNOW IF MY DESIRE FOR MORE MONEY IS FROM GOD?”

Do you have trouble believing God wants you to prosper?

Maybe you have the opportunity to see a significant increase in your income—but you’re wondering about your motives and if this desire for more is from the Lord.

What about the love of money being the root of all evil?

To answer these questions, let’s start by looking at a popular money lie.

The Lie

The world likes to tell people, “If you can dream it, you can have it.” Many people believe that if they can imagine something strongly enough, it will emerge in their lives.

The issue is, this is the same basic idea they relied on way back in Genesis at the Tower of Babel. That was a scary time when humanity realized they could build a tower to heaven. They were literally trying to make themselves gods.

Today, that is what a lot of people are trying to do with money. They believe that—independent of God—they can somehow will their way to riches.
