Then your video came to me from nowhere and all of a sudden, God make me realize what my problem is.

Amen.

Hebrews 11:1-3 🙏 God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you’re ready for anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done. As one psalmist puts it, He throws caution to the winds, giving to the needy in reckless abandon. His right-living, right-giving ways never run out, never wear out. This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God. (2Corinthians 9:8 MSG) 🙏 3I thank my God every time I remember you. 4In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy, 5because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

@@Sorana44 I do pray for you. Go and have a look at Dave Ramsey's method. You fo not have to pay for any program as there are so many youtube programs about the enveloppe system for managing money. Beware that it does not become a pretext to buy expensive cute materials to put it in place. The important thing is to BUDGET in advance to tell your money where to go ( pay your high interest debt first !) instead of wondering where it has vanished at the end of the month. Each evening, take a moment to track and write down ALL your expenses by category, even a loaf of bread. EVERY penny, you must be able yo tell where it has been... It is hard but this discipline will be so helpful that I can predict that it will do wonders. Each time you want to spend to calm yourself, ask the help of the Lord znd pray. Spend time in nature and bring a Bible with you. walk a lot as it releases good hormones in your brain. It is free of charge also...
Sadly our churches don't teach about money or have a negative attitude towards it. If you start learning and asking God who to listen to, what books to read, make it fun.....you can learn and I'm telling you from personal experience. God will rock your world. He wants us to be responsible and cultivate our money. It's scary when we are in debt, it's scary if its not a thing that comes easily, but we can learn and when you learn you will feel more confident and it will help your relationship with God. God bless you!
I noticed when I came to Jesus I managed to control my money, detailed spreadsheets and savings even if it's a small amount. I also don't need or crave material things anymore as nothing compares to what he has given me.
I'm still not managing to control my money and I really do want to so I'm going to try to find these verses she's talking about and read them and ask the Holy Spirit to help me
Yes, God's Sovereignty and a person's responsibility... a very fragile balance. To recognize where my responsibility ends and God's Sovereignty begins when I humbly surrender at the border crossing of my limitations and allow God to step in and do His part in His Sovereignty. Thank you for sharing truths that build faith in our awesome God; may He bless your intentions.
I was 30 when I shifted to a grateful heart amongst the negative things that were happening out of my control. I was able to become credit card debt-free and paid off old debt with a low paying job, as a single mom and have not struggled since. But I never thought to ask the Lord, where should I spend my money. And no, I didn't know how many scriptures spoke of money. Thank you for sharing! 💛
I am delighted to hear you say that you've never really been a career person. I work 3 days a week (healthcare) & I am an intercessor (Holy Spirit led) all the time, which is all-consuming, so I relate to not being a typical career person but really loving God & following His unpredictable path😊. Very good video.
Thank you. Yes. I recently said to another Spiritual Directir maybe I should get a “real job” she said to me what is a real job even me!? And it made me realize yeah anything we do for serving God and others is worth doing career or not
When you mentioned that money is just a tool, does not have feelings but we do, I felt that deeply. I’ve heard the phrase multiple times but the way you explained it helped me to understand that whatever ‘money issues’ I have are a call to look deep within me not for more money/less money. Thank you & God bless you !
yes fiat money is a tool. A tool of Satan and his inbred 🤡 servants. They print it for themselves at your expense. Inflation steals your life away, and everyone is walking around using it like it actually has value. How can this be explained in any other way but black magic?
I have been in a transition period in my role as a mom, with my youngest starting school. So I had time open during the day, and I struggled with being just at home or using my talents outside the home. So when you talked about that there isn't any job more honorable than doing anything for the glory of God, it was reassuring. In surprising ways over the last two months, God has provided opportunities to serve others for Him with the bonus of little streams of income. Now Im having to seek wisdom on which ways to serve and what needs to be a no or not right now.
I’m so glad that that was reassuring! I will pray that God reveals to you what the next step is if it’s supposed to be specific versus just discovering what feels good as you serve him.
Hi from Australia! I always struggled financially but when I started tithing, my goodness the blessing that God promises are real! Even when I know I will struggle and have no money, I will continue to tithe, as you said, it’s His money and our churches and pastors need to be paid! God bless you 🙏❤️
@raymondwatts5372 He never broke the law or He would be the anti Christ. He fulfilled the law, in other words actually kept His Fathers laws to show us the way. Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
Thank you so much for your video. For "some reason" it popped up on my feed! While my family of origin were affluent, they all had a very toxic relationship with money. Fast forward many financial bumps and bruises of my own doing and now I am almost debt free (through the Ramsey program). And my son has cash flowed his way through college by working part time while in a highly demanding program. I have raised him with the "No debt" mentality and is well on his way to changing our family's tree of money relationships. However, I still have a strained relationship with money and was grateful to hear your story. This was what I needed to hear today! God bless you and your work! Thank you!
Managing money wisely is soooo important and makes the difference between a serene home and an anguished one. I personnally manage my money in a rather strict manner ( enveloppes system) but emotionnally I need to feel safe about the future. No credit, NEVER EVER, apart from borrowing for buying a home.
For sure! I went extreme for a little while, almost out of shame, trying to do everything right by God‘s book, but then I had to loosen up a little bit and find God‘s love even in the parts of me that didn’t always steward well !
@@maryldemilo Sure, the Lord wants us the enjoy our life on earth, so going out with friends or indulge oneself with a nice haircut or a massage from time to time is not forbiden if the necessities of life are paid for before the pleasures.
@@cryptojoecoin5480 the only true money is gold and silver. They have been here since the creation of the earth. It has served well the christians and will continue to do so.
Thank God for His beautiful and awesome children. I love and am grateful for each & all’a’y’all. Abba, Father, allow your provision to flow through us all, as vessels of your Living Water. 🙏✝️☺️ 3I thank my God every time I remember you. 4In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy, 5because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

There are so many different obstacles that I face as a single mom. God give me strength. I’m struggling to make ends meet. Both of my sons are special needs and require much from me. I keep faith. I know that God will provide he has this far. So as I struggle to provide for my children, and as I struggle to pay bills every month. I turn to you Heavenly Father for guidance and rest.💕
Thank you for this video. I am scared to death to purchase my school books because I'm still not sure what I'll do for money while a full-time student and mom. The books cost more than my rent! I decided to just trust God and buy them. I'm glad I saw your video while I struggled with my purchase tonight.😢❤❤God bless you! He will provide!
What a beautiful video. From the message to your heart and articulation around your message, it was so enjoyable to listen and watch. Thank you for your wisdom and willingness to share! God bless! ❤️
Wow! I am impressed. I can see you truly are a child of God. It’s amazing how wisdom grows inside of you when you just take the time to try to read and understand the Bible. I’ve largely came to a lot of the same opinions in my own personal searches for the meaning of life. My view is that our lives are not our own and that are so purpose in being here is to be a light for other people to see the power of God. and all I care about is winning the great well done on the day that I stand before the Lord I am only a steward of the things of this life. I will even take it one stepbrother and say that this body is not who I am. I am the spirit this trapped inside. I will close with this verse man called you or chosen. Good for you, sister. Keep up the good work.
You are a person I liked immediately, not something you can say often with online videos. Thank you for your wisdom. I’m sure God will help you through this difficult financial time.
I recently heard a preacher say when they pass the plate it should hurt you. Well........the bible says that God loves a cheerful giver... not to give under compulsion. Or......spiritual manipulation by any pastor! There are seniors on fixed incomes, single mothers, disabled people, etc. God never expected people to give so they pay their bills. Use common sense. God knows our hearts and wallets.
The pastor isn't wrong though. Yes, we should be a cheerful giver, but like the woman that gave all she had it must have hurt her, but she trusted God to provide.
Very inspirational, I grew up just like you single mother giving her my check to help out, learning now at my age how budgeting is so important and to have God involved also. Thank you!
This was a fantastic video! Thank you 😀 Money can bring out the inner glutton (buying far too much for yourself) or the inner Scrooge 😂 We are taught to be a generous giver, a happy giver, and to never under compulsion, and I love how those rules are one of the ways to bring peace to our lives.
Thank you for your way of teaching and explaining money & finances as it relates to the Bible. Very helpful and gave me pause. Perfect timing. I’m on my way 🙏🏼🥰
I thank you so much for this video. I was looking for a way to understand what God wants us to know about money and debt, so the Crown website is perfect. Thank you!
Hello Maryl I just found your channel and subscribed. I did not know the Bible has that many verses on money. I have a short God story. I had a car accident in 2022 and 2023. Both times my car was total. In the 2023 accident the insurance company just paid me almost $10k. Which I used to pay off credit card debt. The only remaining debt I have now is the mortgage payment. But the accidents left me needing a new vehicle. I have a 23 year old truck with over 100k miles. I can say without a doubt God is Good. Thank you and may our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Richly Bless you and your family in Jesus name Amen 🙏
Larry Burkett was the OG (after God) of Christian Money Management and led Dave Ramsey to Christ and money management which led to The Dave Ramsey Show and Smart Money. We were reduced to Larry Burkett’s teachings before he created Crown Ministries. In my experience of people my generation (early 60’s) and older and younger - we were not not money management or budgeting, it is a painful experience until we reach out for help and education. Crown and Dave Ramsey are the best Christian financial educators out there, one is more gentle in their approach and the other starts with hard truths spoken immediately, we have embraced both methods and mostly because they back up their talk and teachings with Biblical truths.
thank you for this video! it came just about the right time when I was thinking about my relationship with money and with God and how to have the right mindset when using it. this really helps! ❤️ i love it also when you said that we don't own anything, and everything belongs to God and we're just stewards. and Luke 16 made it all click for me 😊
I am 17 old girl, I buy alot on the internet to fet in and people to see that I am worth. The thing is that I feel emty when I get the things I bought. I will no longer buy thing that furfill me or my faith. May God help me. May his will be done in my life, I pray that it will also in your life💕💕
Thanks for sharing! I too had to learn the right relationship with money later & how to steward it well for God’s glory- still learning!!! We used the Dave Ramsey snow ball method to pay off our debt a few years into marriage. And still use the every dollar app for our budget.
Oh nice my good friend uses the every dollar budget and she loves it! I use Monarch and I love that. Dave Ramsey has been very helpful! I’ve used his Wil method for all my student loans.
This was so beautiful to watch and to listen to your testimony of how God changed your life and your growth with him in this area where so many struggle. The only thing I missed was that I kept looking for you to go a bit deeper with some of the scriptures you learned and connecting those to your aha moments. Never the less, I loved how sincere you were in sharing and it really resonated with me. Glad I found your channel. No frills just down to earth honest conversations 😊
Sure! It would’ve had this to be such a long video! There were some scriptures I could’ve talked about maybe I’ll do another one where I dive deep into all the meanings of the Scriptures. I was talking more about about the experience of it and the lessons that I’ve carried with me from this experience.
@@maryldemilo for sure I could definitely tell it was more conversation and more of a testimony but I would love to watch the deep dive as well If you decide to put out that video. I'll turn on my notifications so I get updates when you post. 😊
I am so glad I stumbled upon your video 🥹 I needed this today. I am having a hard time with getting my refinances in order that I needed to hear this from you. Thanks for giving me the push to let God help me with this. God bless. ❤
I do not earn a salary but God is totally looking after me. Everyday I purpose to get up and be a blessing and sow in kindness, love and peace with all if possible. I don't look at money at all and now things come my way and provision in extraordinary ways. God is above and beyond money. His ways superior and He doesn't always use money as He is a Creative God and Father.
@@trinitywright7122 I once took the pastor to task on someone he quoted that clearly identified as an atheist and what the Pastor said in response made sense to me, I hope it makes sense to you, he said, "Regardless of what a person believes, doesn't make what they say or said, necessarily false." GOD Bless 🙏
The book of Proverbs should have been a permanent part of school curriculum since our beginning in the USA imho. There is absolutely nothing bad in them and all good moral lessons that should be taught in the family. It’s amazing to me once you come to the idea that God owns everything and the most beautiful things for us to enjoy in life are made naturally by Him. And happiness comes from Him being in our soul and mind . Things are nice convenient and make life easier and gives more leisure time but there’s something about doing work and learning and reading the Bible that occupies us in a good way and keeps our heads on straight. I’ve worked with many people over the years and the nicest and happiest weren’t the ones striving to make the most money or buying the latest gadget or fastest cars etc. They were the ones who loved the Lord and didn’t worship their things. They were helpful people in my life who by example showed me how to be a nice person. They smiled more and you didn’t even realize when they were going through a tough situation because they knew Who was with them always. Very good video. ❤
This is something that should be taught in high school. It should begin in elementary school actually. We don’t need to be teaching gender studies and lgbtq b.s. in school. We need to teach kids how to go off and take care of themselves. This is exactly how families perpetuate poverty. They never learn from their parents. I’m so fortunate that my mom taught me how to balance a checkbook, pay bills, keep everything balanced etc. I joined a kids social group and at 12 years old they made me the treasurer. Of course there was an adult overseeing it but I did it. And Dave Ramsey is awesome.
We are all called to be Warriors in this life., And pain is the great teacher. Ironically, I believe that the joy of life is right on the other side of being able to except this as Truth. Even more with gratitude and without complaining, I believe this is symbolic to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ himself.
Hi ms Maryl, I hope you are doing well. It's good to see you. You really remind me of my teachers in school and making me miss jh and hs:) too bad they didn't teach Bible at that time. One history teacher played a Christian video of Judah Ben-Hur and that was very surprising:)
I also took Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace" and it changed my life. He does not have to much scripture about finances that I can remember. It has been over 25 years ago. Looking to do a small group class on finances from the Bible. I see your Bible Study is no longer available so I purchased the "Do Well" from Crown.
Yeah! I feel like he uses a little bit and it’s a similar format for the Crown one! I hope you like it I still reference my Bible study workbook all the time
Hello- I have listed to many of your videos and they have been such a blessing and some sound wisdom about money and other things!! in one of your videos you gave an analogy of us, is handing a little teddy bear up to God in heaven, and He handing us down a big one and what that REALLY meant. I have a jail ministry and I really need to find that and share it with my girls- but I can’t find it. Can you tell me which video it is in by chance?
Thanks for sharing! Sure it's this video: th-cam.com/video/RNjum3EAcdg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=T9QWO9N1Lk-BGXhi. What a powerful ministry. That is an incredible calling. Is there any way I can pray for you as you walk this out?
@@maryldemilo please pray for wisdom and for favor with the authorities as the ministry is facing resistance from them at the jail lately (they don’t want to be bothered with it) but most of all for the young ladies that are turning their hearts to God.
We’ve been paying towards debt as best as we can but also tithing. Sometimes we can’t pay our debt but I try to make sure to tithe and other times we might not have the money to tithe. I’ve often wondered if we could stop tithing and just get our debt paid off since we’re a one income household. It’s been tough to figure out what’s “correct” to do.
Dave Ramsey baby steps works if you don't mind living on Beans and Rice. Christy Vann channel teaches Velocity Banking and Becoming your own Banker. Plus she's a Christian. My comments are not sponsored I don't receive anything for prompting anyone reading this to look into Velocity Banking and Becoming my own Banker because it is blessing me beyond measure so I believe I need to share this information. Lastly, this ladies video just showed up in my feed so I'm listening and maybe it's what she's talking about. 🙏🌎🌍🌏✝️
Do you know if there is a list of these verses? I would like to do a study of these verses. I think you have a great story and I’m glad you shared it with us.
Oh I think its in the chapters is you want to hear it...but its..what do you want to do with our money God? And what will lead me to more peace or flourishing.
I tithe and save . My problem is NOT spending. I'm so scared of not having. Before my husband died we made very good money and I was still lived like we were poor. Now I'm hardly making anything and still struggling with my emotions around money. It's always a scarcity mentality for me. I've never had credit card debt and almost never a car payment. I feel like I don't trust God. I also feel I don't deserve any indulgences no coffees no salons no new clothes...HELP
Accomplish goals and reward yourself no matter how small. Make a “reward” budget. Do a great job mowing and trimming your grass and pay yourself with a latte. It would cost you more to pay someone else, and if you the discretionary spending to a job, you won’t spend as much and still enjoy the little things. You’re welcome😂
Search for 'Gary Keesee.' He's a bible teacher who addresses the issue of money from God's perspective better than anyone I know. If you wanna get serious about doing money God's way there's no one I know who address it better than him. He has a series that has been running for decades called "Fixing The Money Thing." Just search for it. Changed my life. I hope the author of this video discovers him too. He is like the treasure hidden in a field that Jesus talks about. 😊
Please spend on yourself. The Lord will give you more. The little things that make you happy, please spend on that. It will help you to be more at ease and worry less.
Thank you ….Im struggling with this because I have a lot of debt and am trying to budget but I also know I have to tithe and there’s times that I don’t tithe because I have so much debt. What are your thoughts on this?
Well if you have so much debt, that comes first, if anything tithing was meant to be social security, so if you need help and the church you go to won’t help, find somewhere else that will and when you have money give to those that actually do what Jesus said to support, widows, children, crippled, poor. Make sure they’re not taking a huge wage and only 10c in a $ gets to the front line. If you go to a church your tithe is helping keep the lights on, your teacher shouldn’t really get paid for preaching, as no one else gets paid for their time serving mostly, but we’re all a bit lazy and want someone else to do the hard work and just tickle our ears, so think paying the "priest" means we don’t have to do much. Read eating sacred cow.

For sure! I went extreme for a little while, almost out of shame, trying to do everything right by God‘s book, but then I had to loosen up a little bit and find God‘s love even in the parts of me that didn’t always steward well !
@@maryldemilo Sure, the Lord wants us the enjoy our life on earth, so going out with friends or indulge oneself with a nice haircut or a massage from time to time is not forbiden if the necessities of life are paid for before the pleasures.
Sure
Yes it is. Manage your fiat by getting rid of it as quickly as possible. Buy Bitcoin to protect your time and energy.
@@cryptojoecoin5480 the only true money is gold and silver. They have been here since the creation of the earth. It has served well the christians and will continue to do so.
This video is very helpful. I need to approach my money management with a spiritual approach because on my own I’m failing.
I’m so glad 🙂 hope it helps
Wow this just popped on my news feed right on time. He knows what you need when you need it. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thank God for His beautiful and awesome children. I love and am grateful for each & all’a’y’all.

You are incredibly annointed ! You’re transparent, relatable, and genuine. 🎉. Love learning from your teachings.
I appreciate that! I am so glad!
All saints are annointed
There are so many different obstacles that I face as a single mom. God give me strength. I’m struggling to make ends meet. Both of my sons are special needs and require much from me. I keep faith. I know that God will provide he has this far. So as I struggle to provide for my children, and as I struggle to pay bills every month. I turn to you Heavenly Father for guidance and rest.💕
Oh wow that is so hard I pray that God brings support. Single mom is a hard job like no other
Thank you for this video. I am scared to death to purchase my school books because I'm still not sure what I'll do for money while a full-time student and mom. The books cost more than my rent! I decided to just trust God and buy them. I'm glad I saw your video while I struggled with my purchase tonight.😢❤❤God bless you! He will provide!
Hi. You can also sell them when you done with your course.
I’m glad it brought some comfort
Thank you for obeying and posting this. Today i needed to hear this you have no idea how Im greatful.
I’m so glad!
What a beautiful video. From the message to your heart and articulation around your message, it was so enjoyable to listen and watch. Thank you for your wisdom and willingness to share! God bless! ❤️
So good to hear
This was pure gold! Took so many notes. Thank you God for providing❤
I am glad! I am a note taker as well :)
What beautiful creature.. thank you for your time!
You are so kind
Love Dave Ramsey and the crew! Watch the show daily 👍 thanks for your great advice and wisdom 👏
Oh yeah!! Love their advice (most of the time haha)
This is so encouraging, praise Jesus! Thank you for being obedient to share, Maryl!
I am glad! You're so welcome!
You are so full of wisdom. Inspired to be a good financial steward from this video- thank you❤️
Money, Possessions and Eternity is SO good and steeped in the Word, too.
:)
Wow! I am impressed. I can see you truly are a child of God. It’s amazing how wisdom grows inside of you when you just take the time to try to read and understand the Bible. I’ve largely came to a lot of the same opinions in my own personal searches for the meaning of life. My view is that our lives are not our own and that are so purpose in being here is to be a light for other people to see the power of God. and all I care about is winning the great well done on the day that I stand before the Lord I am only a steward of the things of this life. I will even take it one stepbrother and say that this body is not who I am. I am the spirit this trapped inside. I will close with this verse man called you or chosen. Good for you, sister. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for reminding Maryl. I had forgotten what my mission was here on earth. And that's to serve God.
Wonderful!
Praise the Lord for your sharing this. You are so well-spoken-- you are a great teacher. God bless us all in Jesus' name.
Thank you so much! you are welcome!
I really appreciate the way you share things. Thank you.
Oh thank you I’m glad
You are a person I liked immediately, not something you can say often with online videos. Thank you for your wisdom. I’m sure God will help you through this difficult financial time.
Awesome! Thank you! I am so glad this resonated!
I recently heard a preacher say when they pass the plate it should hurt you. Well........the bible says that God loves a cheerful giver... not to give under compulsion. Or......spiritual manipulation by any pastor! There are seniors on fixed incomes, single mothers, disabled people, etc. God never expected people to give so they pay their bills. Use common sense. God knows our hearts and wallets.
Oh wow! Yeah, that sounded like a really manipulative comment.
Cheerful giver, 100%!
Common sense for sure!
Takes a lot of self discipline to pay off debt. Congrats!
50k single living at home vs 50k single mom with 4 kids paying 1500 rent? Widow mite😊 it's not all the same with percentage. 😊
The pastor isn't wrong though. Yes, we should be a cheerful giver, but like the woman that gave all she had it must have hurt her, but she trusted God to provide.
@@user-ns5yn8ux2u
Hurt? Is that the true message? Giving should hurt?
Very inspirational, I grew up just like you single mother giving her my check to help out, learning now at my age how budgeting is so important and to have God involved also. Thank you!
Absolutely. 💯
Too funny. Clicked on this video for the title and subject, then realized I use to go to Church with you in Costa Mesa. Great video and info!
Love it ! heyyyyyya
God placed this video on my feed RIGHT when I needed to hear it. Thank you for this word.
So glad!
Thank you for this message. It came to me right when I needed it! God Bless you.😊
You are so welcome
I am so proud of you!!!! Keep these videos going!
Thank you!
This video blessed me enormous 🌺thank you for sharing sister 💕💕🌻
You are so welcome
This was a fantastic video!
Thank you 😀
Money can bring out the inner glutton (buying far too much for yourself) or the inner Scrooge 😂
We are taught to be a generous giver, a happy giver, and to never under compulsion, and I love how those rules are one of the ways to bring peace to our lives.
Totally! I have both the scrooge and the glutton in me! :) Such a process
Refreshingly honest and insightful. God bless you, ma'am.
I’m glad 🙂
Thanks for your videos. Very thought provoking.
Glad you like them!
Thank you for the part about taking action after thinking and applying context
You’re so welcome
this video truly blessed me!! thank you
You’re so welcome
Thank you for your way of teaching and explaining money & finances as it relates to the Bible. Very helpful and gave me pause. Perfect timing. I’m on my way 🙏🏼🥰
Wonderful!
I thank you so much for this video. I was looking for a way to understand what God wants us to know about money and debt, so the Crown website is perfect. Thank you!
Oh awesome 👏🏼
Thank you for sharing this. I hope your message will encourage my husband in his relationship with money.
You are so welcome
Hello Maryl
I just found your channel and subscribed. I did not know the Bible has that many verses on money. I have a short God story. I had a car accident in 2022 and 2023. Both times my car was total. In the 2023 accident the insurance company just paid me almost $10k. Which I used to pay off credit card debt. The only remaining debt I have now is the mortgage payment. But the accidents left me needing a new vehicle. I have a 23 year old truck with over 100k miles. I can say without a doubt God is Good. Thank you and may our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Richly Bless you and your family in Jesus name Amen 🙏
Oh wow! I’m glad that you are alive to tell the tail praise God that he is recovering you and provided. Bless you.
I so appreciate your perspective ❤

Larry Burkett was the OG (after God) of Christian Money Management and led Dave Ramsey to Christ and money management which led to The Dave Ramsey Show and Smart Money. We were reduced to Larry Burkett’s teachings before he created Crown Ministries. In my experience of people my generation (early 60’s) and older and younger - we were not not money management or budgeting, it is a painful experience until we reach out for help and education. Crown and Dave Ramsey are the best Christian financial educators out there, one is more gentle in their approach and the other starts with hard truths spoken immediately, we have embraced both methods and mostly because they back up their talk and teachings with Biblical truths.
:)
So insightful video❤thank you for sharing your thoughts
Your welcome
This was SO well said. You’ve blessed me with your message. Thank you for sharing!!

thank you for this video! it came just about the right time when I was thinking about my relationship with money and with God and how to have the right mindset when using it. this really helps! ❤️ i love it also when you said that we don't own anything, and everything belongs to God and we're just stewards. and Luke 16 made it all click for me 😊
You are so welcome!

Thanks for your transparency. This is a helpful approach to finances based on biblical principles.
I’m so glad you’re welcome ☺️
Great video, I really enjoyed watching it 😀. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Thank you Maryl.
You are so welcome
GREAT teaching! Thank You!
Your welcome
Thanks for sharing! I too had to learn the right relationship with money later & how to steward it well for God’s glory- still learning!!! We used the Dave Ramsey snow ball method to pay off our debt a few years into marriage. And still use the every dollar app for our budget.
Oh nice my good friend uses the every dollar budget and she loves it! I use Monarch and I love that. Dave Ramsey has been very helpful! I’ve used his Wil method for all my student loans.
This was so beautiful to watch and to listen to your testimony of how God changed your life and your growth with him in this area where so many struggle. The only thing I missed was that I kept looking for you to go a bit deeper with some of the scriptures you learned and connecting those to your aha moments. Never the less, I loved how sincere you were in sharing and it really resonated with me. Glad I found your channel. No frills just down to earth honest conversations 😊
Sure! It would’ve had this to be such a long video! There were some scriptures I could’ve talked about maybe I’ll do another one where I dive deep into all the meanings of the Scriptures. I was talking more about about the experience of it and the lessons that I’ve carried with me from this experience.
@@maryldemilo for sure I could definitely tell it was more conversation and more of a testimony but I would love to watch the deep dive as well If you decide to put out that video. I'll turn on my notifications so I get updates when you post. 😊
Great perspective and balance!
:)
I am so glad I stumbled upon your video 🥹 I needed this today. I am having a hard time with getting my refinances in order that I needed to hear this from you. Thanks for giving me the push to let God help me with this. God bless. ❤
You got this!
great video ❤
:)
I do not earn a salary but God is totally looking after me. Everyday I purpose to get up and be a blessing and sow in kindness, love and peace with all if possible.
I don't look at money at all and now things come my way and provision in extraordinary ways. God is above and beyond money. His ways superior and He doesn't always use money as He is a Creative God and Father.
IM so glad he is revealing himself in different ways to you!
Thank you Maryl for your testimony and aids for further studies. I did not know there were over 2300 vss on $ in the Bible!😊🥰
I know isn’t that crazy?!

@@trinitywright7122 I once took the pastor to task on someone he quoted that clearly identified as an atheist and what the Pastor said in response made sense to me, I hope it makes sense to you, he said, "Regardless of what a person believes, doesn't make what they say or said, necessarily false." GOD Bless 🙏
@@truckn I was stating the source of the quote; not making judgement on who said it. I whole-heartedly agree, truckn.
The book of Proverbs should have been a permanent part of school curriculum since our beginning in the USA imho. There is absolutely nothing bad in them and all good moral lessons that should be taught in the family. It’s amazing to me once you come to the idea that God owns everything and the most beautiful things for us to enjoy in life are made naturally by Him. And happiness comes from Him being in our soul and mind . Things are nice convenient and make life easier and gives more leisure time but there’s something about doing work and learning and reading the Bible that occupies us in a good way and keeps our heads on straight. I’ve worked with many people over the years and the nicest and happiest weren’t the ones striving to make the most money or buying the latest gadget or fastest cars etc. They were the ones who loved the Lord and didn’t worship their things. They were helpful people in my life who by example showed me how to be a nice person. They smiled more and you didn’t even realize when they were going through a tough situation because they knew Who was with them always. Very good video. ❤
Yes proverbs has so much wisdom.
This is something that should be taught in high school. It should begin in elementary school actually. We don’t need to be teaching gender studies and lgbtq b.s. in school. We need to teach kids how to go off and take care of themselves. This is exactly how families perpetuate poverty. They never learn from their parents. I’m so fortunate that my mom taught me how to balance a checkbook, pay bills, keep everything balanced etc. I joined a kids social group and at 12 years old they made me the treasurer. Of course there was an adult overseeing it but I did it. And Dave Ramsey is awesome.
That’s so true and glad you learned!
We are all called to be Warriors in this life., And pain is the great teacher. Ironically, I believe that the joy of life is right on the other side of being able to except this as Truth. Even more with gratitude and without complaining, I believe this is symbolic to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ himself.
Oh what a friend we have in Jesus!
:)
Hi ms Maryl, I hope you are doing well. It's good to see you. You really remind me of my teachers in school and making me miss jh and hs:) too bad they didn't teach Bible at that time. One history teacher played a Christian video of Judah Ben-Hur and that was very surprising:)
I am well! Oh nice
I love the two questions!!!! ❤
I’m glad! 😀
I also took Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace" and it changed my life. He does not have to much scripture about finances that I can remember. It has been over 25 years ago. Looking to do a small group class on finances from the Bible. I see your Bible Study is no longer available so I purchased the "Do Well" from Crown.
Yeah! I feel like he uses a little bit and it’s a similar format for the Crown one! I hope you like it I still reference my Bible study workbook all the time
Hello- I have listed to many of your videos and they have been such a blessing and some sound wisdom about money and other things!! in one of your videos you gave an analogy of us, is handing a little teddy bear up to God in heaven, and He handing us down a big one and what that REALLY meant. I have a jail ministry and I really need to find that and share it with my girls- but I can’t find it. Can you tell me which video it is in by chance?
Thanks for sharing! Sure it's this video: th-cam.com/video/RNjum3EAcdg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=T9QWO9N1Lk-BGXhi. What a powerful ministry. That is an incredible calling. Is there any way I can pray for you as you walk this out?
@@maryldemilo please pray for wisdom and for favor with the authorities as the ministry is facing resistance from them at the jail lately (they don’t want to be bothered with it) but most of all for the young ladies that are turning their hearts to God.

Money is like water, if we do not Dam it up, it will flow away, never to be seen again.
Nice metaphor! :)
This is a great video I have to come back to it ❤ can you please tell me what video camera you are using?
I’m using an iPhone 15
We’ve been paying towards debt as best as we can but also tithing. Sometimes we can’t pay our debt but I try to make sure to tithe and other times we might not have the money to tithe. I’ve often wondered if we could stop tithing and just get our debt paid off since we’re a one income household. It’s been tough to figure out what’s “correct” to do.
That is hard.
Dave Ramsey baby steps works if you don't mind living on Beans and Rice. Christy Vann channel teaches Velocity Banking and Becoming your own Banker. Plus she's a Christian. My comments are not sponsored I don't receive anything for prompting anyone reading this to look into Velocity Banking and Becoming my own Banker because it is blessing me beyond measure so I believe I need to share this information. Lastly, this ladies video just showed up in my feed so I'm listening and maybe it's what she's talking about. 🙏🌎🌍🌏✝️
Yes for sure!

Do you know if there is a list of these verses? I would like to do a study of these verses. I think you have a great story and I’m glad you shared it with us.
I just found this online compassfinancialministry.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2350-Verses-Catalog.pdf
See if this is what you’re looking for!
Paying yor tithe (10% of your increases) is the first part of God blessing your finances.
Did they cover that in the Bible study?
Isn’t tithe like closer to 20% once you calculate all the laws in the OT?
What is the 2 question rule? I didn’t hear that in the video, thank you!
Oh I think its in the chapters is you want to hear it...but its..what do you want to do with our money God? And what will lead me to more peace or flourishing.
Hey 👋 from one soul to another.
Hello!

I tithe and save . My problem is NOT spending. I'm so scared of not having. Before my husband died we made very good money and I was still lived like we were poor. Now I'm hardly making anything and still struggling with my emotions around money. It's always a scarcity mentality for me. I've never had credit card debt and almost never a car payment. I feel like I don't trust God. I also feel I don't deserve any indulgences no coffees no salons no new clothes...HELP
Accomplish goals and reward yourself no matter how small. Make a “reward” budget. Do a great job mowing and trimming your grass and pay yourself with a latte. It would cost you more to pay someone else, and if you the discretionary spending to a job, you won’t spend as much and still enjoy the little things. You’re welcome😂
Search for 'Gary Keesee.' He's a bible teacher who addresses the issue of money from God's perspective better than anyone I know. If you wanna get serious about doing money God's way there's no one I know who address it better than him. He has a series that has been running for decades called "Fixing The Money Thing." Just search for it. Changed my life. I hope the author of this video discovers him too. He is like the treasure hidden in a field that Jesus talks about. 😊
Please spend on yourself. The Lord will give you more. The little things that make you happy, please spend on that. It will help you to be more at ease and worry less.

Thank you ….Im struggling with this because I have a lot of debt and am trying to budget but I also know I have to tithe and there’s times that I don’t tithe because I have so much debt. What are your thoughts on this?
Well if you have so much debt, that comes first, if anything tithing was meant to be social security, so if you need help and the church you go to won’t help, find somewhere else that will and when you have money give to those that actually do what Jesus said to support, widows, children, crippled, poor. Make sure they’re not taking a huge wage and only 10c in a $ gets to the front line. If you go to a church your tithe is helping keep the lights on, your teacher shouldn’t really get paid for preaching, as no one else gets paid for their time serving mostly, but we’re all a bit lazy and want someone else to do the hard work and just tickle our ears, so think paying the "priest" means we don’t have to do much. Read eating sacred cow.
