“You say you are Rich”

The Gold Standard

Buy Gold from God

The only hedge against inflation

 “You Say You Are Rich”

“Inflation”

“Inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time.

When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services.

Consequently, inflation reflects a reduction in the purchasing power per unit of money”.

The Laodicea’s thought they were rich.

God said to them… “You do not realize that you

are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked”.

Inflation creeps up on us.

The hourly employee wants a raise so he

can buy more and live more comfortably.

He gets the raise but finds the cost of goods

increased to pay for the higher wages.

It is not the fault of hourly workers, everybody wants more.

So we raise the cost of our products to get more.

God says… “You don’t realize”.

We don’t generally realize the growing effect of inflation.

How many people worked hard for 10, 20, 30 or more

years only to find they lost the most important things in life.

They lost family, respect, or maybe the

joys of seeing their children grow.

As I have counseled many in financial trouble,

 many of them did not realize the cost of

their living was greater than their income.

The trap of being in debt gripped as if it would

suffocate the breath and life right out of them.

  

It is true if a man does not work, he will not eat.

Working for the almighty dollar and

against inflation is time consuming.

God reminds us there is another currency, we should

be working for… He says buy from Me gold.

Without the Kingdom of God currency you will

 be “wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.”.

You may not be quick to realize it if you see yourself rich and well off.

Gold is not subject to inflation like the dollar.

I said to Sandy what if we exchanged our income

of dollars into gold and spent only gold from the

time we got married over 40 years ago?

The answer is… We would be RICH.

The same is true spiritually…Look to exchange

your work dollars to buy Gold from God.

Learn how to buy Gold from God… Beat inflation.

“The wages of sin is death.”

The wages of righteousness is life. 

 

Scripture Reading

Revelation 3:14-18 NIV

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm — neither hot nor cold — I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
