Debt is of the spirit of Manipulation

Debt does not only have a power of bondage behind it. It has the power of manipulation behind it. It is not that debt can be used to manipulated others. Rather, this is a mere manifestation of the power of manipulation behind debt.  Debt has a power of manipulation behind it which operates by the game of debt played among the unsaved. 

The rich of the world love debt because they know it makes people not merely dependent on them, but controlled by them. They can and do use debt for their own gains. The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender (Proverbs 22:7). The poor of the world also love debt because it enables them to get what they need. It enables them to act independently of God, not trusting in Him who all the world hate. Such is the game of debt. It is of the spirit of manipulation. 

Debt is a tool of the rich people of the world to makes gains of the debt slavery of others. Debt is a liberator to the poor of the world because it enables them to get what they seek, which is all done out of their own selfishness, for the world lives for itself (2 Corinthians 5:15). 

As long as people want to use debt for their own self-seeking ways, debt will always put them in bondage and manipulation. Such are the ways of this wicked world. 

That people go into debt is itself an indicator that one is not content with what one has, whether they get into debt for luxury goods, or basic foods. This is because the heart of a debtor is one that trusts not God, but in money, rather unsaved or saved, rich or poor.

The Christian of all people should not get into debt for God will literally provide all you need if you seek His will (Matthew 6:33).

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee (Hebrews 13:5).

Two types of contentment

The world seeks contentment. It seeks to be contented in pursuit of all kinds of things, whether it be money, health, wealth, romance, sex, careers or family. It does not necessarily seek after riches to be content. However, that one does not seek after money as the first priority, but other things that are typically associated with good traditional values, such as family, does not in any way mean that one is content in the godly sense. By no means! A person can be a "conservative" and "religious" but just as earthly as the "liberal". There are two types of contentment: earthly contentment and godly contentment. Earthly contentment finds its fulfillment and satisfaction in things that are passing away, not necessarily money, but also things like family, education and children. Yes, that's right. Many professing American Christians think that they could never be under the spirit of mammon because they care for their families and love their families, a...

Signs of a Person under the spirit of mammon

Both the unsaved and saved can be under the spirit of mammon. Do not be deceived! An unsaved person can only serve mammon because it is not part of his nature to submit to God in any way (Romans 8:7). However, the Christian can most definitely yield to the temptations of mammon just as he can yield to the temptations of satan. This is what is means for a Christian to be under the spirit of mammon. The signs of a person being under the spirit of mammon are: The person does not understand the spirit of mammon. This is because he or she is blinded by it and therefore cannot see it. The person reacts whenever being confronted with being told that they are under the spirit of mammon, or being told that they may be under it. This is not the person themselves reacting, but the spirit of mammon reacting. The person is self-satisfied with the abundance that they have. This is especially the case with many Christians today. They are happy with having a family, a well-paying job, security...

The spirit of Paganism is of Degeneracy, Rebellion and Bloodlust

Paganism is the rejection and hostility towards all Christian virtues. It is not merely the unbelief in fundamental Christian theological doctrine, but the hatred of Christian virtues. This ultimately leads to the active, outright embrace of all manner of degeneracy. The scriptures describes such paganism in Romans 1:18-32:   For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts wer...
