Last week I made a video that I didn’t share. It’s called,
‘The Beginning and The End: An Introduction for Making Sense of God and Money’.
You can watch it on Rumble Here.
And, if you just want to skim the content, you can Download the PowerPoint slides here.

I didn’t share it because:
1, The ‘word on the street’ is that people only want 15-20 minute messages because they’re experiencing information over load – the video is just over an hour.
Fair enough. I’ve invested hundreds of hours in recent months seeking answers and know there’s plenty of great resources to take in.
How do you determine what information you take in?

2. I’ve had so many conversations recently with people about what to do about all the horrible things the enemy is doing, and how we need to look at the FACTS to see what’s coming and plan accordingly.
Fair enough, but my bible says that we ‘walk by faith, not by sight’… so…??
3. I had a ‘vacation’ from my day-to-day, to be full-time mom to my 25 year old married daughter who has just moved to a new city, will be teaching Kindergarten at a new school, and her husband will be returning to university after a couple years of working so we were enjoying planning for this new chapter in their life!
Here is where God gave me the inspiration for the introduction and summary for the video:
New Beginnings…
They are exciting…
They bring hope for good things to come…
So, why is it so difficult for many people to hope for an exciting future?
The beginning of the video asks an important question that I believe will help answer that question:
They are exciting…
They bring hope for good things to come…
So, why is it so difficult for many people to hope for an exciting future?
The beginning of the video asks an important question that I believe will help answer that question:
How do we know what we know?
The answer to this question impacts what information we take in and how we process it to make decisions that impact every area of our life, and ultimately the lives of others around us for generations!
Maybe starting kindergarten isn’t something a child chooses to do, but somewhere in the history of our culture, someone decided that starting school at age 4 or 5 is what we do.
Personally, I have always been a seeker of knowledge, and I’m interested in many things.
Knowledge fuels understanding.
Understanding will expand the operation of wisdom in your life.
Wisdom helps unlock creativity.
Creativity is a function of the Spirit of God within you.
Creativity expands ideas and opportunities through visions.
Visions inspire hope.
Which leads us to another question?
Where does your hope come from?
IF it comes from what you can see, or think you can see, then what is that saying about faith, which is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not yet seen (Hebrews 11:1).
Not long ago, I felt like I had lost hope. It seemed that anything and everything I hoped for ended in disappointment and discouragement.
Instead of giving in to the despair banging on my door, I cried out from the bottom of my heart for answers to some of the most perplexing, and persistent questions in my life!
Instead of seeking knowledge so I could ‘be like God to discern the direction I should go to experience good and not evil in my life’, I asked for was a greater revelation of who He is; who Jesus is; and who am I to Him?
I determined to take God at His word, and that I would only look for good. In doing so, I quickly learned to spot evil in ways I never could have anticipated!
I don’t like scary movies so this has turned out to be one of the most gut wrenching years of my life … as God’s goodness grew, the counterfeit evil was highlighted in disgusting, mind-boggling, horrible ways – everywhere 🙁

That’s not the point though!
God promises that even when faced with death, there is hope for more than we can even ask or imagine!
The easy part is making the decision to believe that who He says, He is, He is.
The hard part is being willing to look past reality, past history, past tradition, and past everything and anything that I currently thought I knew.
The great deception throughout all of human history has been about the knowledge of good and evil, so we could ‘be like God’.
The tool that evil has used to impact knowledge of what is good and what is evil has been anything to do with money, finances, wealth, and looking after yourself – ie to be like God to know what to do in any given situation.
The bible gives us such a depth and breadth of knowledge that it can speak into any personal or global situation, with historical events and real people to testify to how God leads to experience His goodness!
Jesus taught us that these 2 opposing forces would become twisted in the last days of a great age, and that even the elect would be deceived.
A watered down version of this is His simple comment about not serving 2 masters: God or money (Matthew 6:24).
The English word money, was translated from a powerful, evil, spiritual being called ‘mammon’. It’s not an intangible attitude of greed. It’s a personified evil that we don’t have to see to know the extent of it’s devastation. But,…
God wrote goodness in our hearts!
So, whatever you’re facing right now, look for the hope, and you’ll find God.
God is good.
He always is, and He’s good in all ways!
Evil existed in the beginning, but God’s plan is simple – seek Him first, with your whole heart and He will make your path straight!
If you’re making decisions based on fear of getting sick, dying, losing your job, losing money, missing out, or being taken over by a worldwide communistic new world order and great financial reset, then go to the beginning and ask God to lead you to new hope.
He will show what you don’t have to see with your natural eyes, because one of His promises is that He who is faithful, will complete the good work that He began in and through your life – He will show you the happy endings from the new beginnings (Philippians 1:6)!
If that’s His promise for you, then it is for anyone who believes. If collectively we focus our thoughts, words, plans and actions on the visions, desires and dreams that He has individually placed in our hearts, then it seems to me that by default, the collective good will give no room for the evil enemy to weigh anyone down with hopelessness and discouragement.
In the beginning evil existed, but Adam and Eve were ‘covered’ because they didn’t know evil.
In the end, the evil empire that has influenced all creation with deception is defeated.
How is that possible? By the blood of the lamb (God’s life-giving covenant), and the word of our testimony (your declaration of His promises, goodness, and your hope that He who is faithful will do what He promises (Revelation 12:11 and 1 Thessalonians 5:24)!
Stop talking like the enemy is winning – He’s not!!!
Our job is to stop agreeing with what we can see, and to instead look at what we can’t see, but KNOW because in the very beginning, it’s who God is!
Jesus said, to come to him with any burden, because his yoke is light and his burden is easy – we can rest in Him, meaning we can trust that what He said and did is the truth (Matthew 11:28)!
He has given us the Power and the Authority to have dominion over His creation, and to multiply His goodness!
That means that He leads us, provides for us, shows us everything we need to know as we seek His goodness, no evil can exist in the light of His goodness and love!
Will you invest the time to seek some knew knowledge to experience revelation and new hope – the kind I didn’t know existed and I’d love you to also experience!

There are challenges facing all of us like no one alive has every experienced, and that alone is a good reason to seek new knowledge, new understanding, new revelation, and new hope with new beginnings – because we have the end of the story, and God wins!
