Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar

As Christians, the power we wield comes from a personal relationship with God that is so strong that we carry His presence with us everywhere we go. Some people simply know about God who go through the mechanics of Christianity; that is not the same as experiencing Him for ourselves. He wants to live inside us and can do so if we fully trust in Him. When we focus on Him and experience His infinite...

In a world that does not know God, having an intimate, personal relationship with Him is valuable beyond comparison. Everything we need in life flows from it; our success and ability to accomplish what is humanly impossible comes not from our own strength, but from walking with Him. It is not enough just to know about Him; we must experience Him firsthand. Knowing God not only changes our lives he...

The world is not accustomed to the idea of hearing from God; however, as Christians we have a blood-bought right to hear from Him. Getting directions from Him enables us to make wise decisions and avoid traps that others fall into. Hearing Him clearly and distinctly can literally save our lives. God is always talking to us; our job is to deliberately and intentionally screen out all distractions a...

God is omnipresent and is never far from us. When we go through issues, He waits for us to invite Him into our lives so that He can begin working on our behalf. We desperately need God to help us with things we cannot do on our own. His presence transforms us; when He is with us He works in us to change us in ways we are unable to do on our own. An intimate, personal relationship with Him gives us...

One of the most powerful aspects of a personal relationship with God is our faith in His love for us. We must be careful not to get too deep when we relate to God; His love is simple, straightforward, and unconditional, and when we believe in it, miracles start breaking out. When we know God from firsthand experience, we are empowered to do things beyond our natural capabilities. This includes lov...

There are traditional reasons to celebrate Christmas, and then there are the real reasons. There is nothing wrong with the trees, lights, gifts, and family traditions, but, if we are not careful, we can find ourselves not feeling "the Christmas spirit." We who have been born again can sense this Spirit every day of our lives, because He lives inside us. We celebrate Christmas because, until Jesus...

The spirit of mammon has one main goal: to lure us away from trusting God. It tries to wiggle its way into all aspects of our lives, including our finances, and tells us the exact opposite of what God tells us. Mammon says money is the answer to our problems and wants to convince us that it can give us what only God can give us. If we let it, mammon will generate fear in us about our money while p...

When we study the issue of money and how it relates to trust, we cannot ignore the presence of mammon. Mammon is an evil spirit that is never far from money, and it tempts us to trust it instead of God. Mammon is the name of the false god of riches in the Old Testament that the people served; putting anyone or anything in first place instead of God amounts to idolatry. Mammon is not the same thing...

If we want to see and experience God's blessings in our lives, we must embrace an attitude of deliberate thankfulness. This involves glorifying God even when we do not physically see what we believe Him for, which is an act of faith. There is real power involved in being thankful, because giving thanks is the key to fruitfulness. We are accustomed to hearing the world's murmuring and complaining,...

Money is simply a tool, and it does not carry a spirit on it until we take possession of it. If we are under the influence of mammon, which is an evil spirit in direct contradiction to God, that spirit will be passed on to the money we have. If we are directed by the spirit of God, his spirit will influence our management of money. Because these spirits are in complete opposition to each other, we...

The spirit of mammon is a subtle demon that hides from us and tries to disguise itself as the spiritual voice we hear in religion. Jesus taught some powerful lessons about money, and he always discussed it in relation to trust. We must decide for ourselves whether we are being influenced by God or by mammon.

Mammon is a sneaky, hateful, evil spirit whose main goal is to steal, kill, and destroy. It readily attaches itself to money and does its best to get us to trust wealth more than God. It always contradicts the word of God, and attempts to persuade us to develop a wrong relationship with money. As Christians, we must be careful not to allow ourselves to be lured away from the Spirit of God and fall...

The demonic spirit of mammon is very pervasive and subtle, and it can be difficult to detect unless we keep careful watch against it. This spirit is attached to money, and it tries to persuade us to trust money more than God. Wealth and riches cannot buy healing, deliverance, grace, or any other blessings from God; trust is the currency of the kingdom. To support the ministry financially, text "CD...

Money management is a topic that divides worldly thinking from what is taught in the Bible. The Scriptures tell us that money is the least important thing requiring the smallest amount of faith. When we demonstrate to ourselves through giving that we trust God with our money, we can trust him for bigger things, as well. To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast", a space, and your amou...

If we are to stay strong spiritually, we must surround ourselves with other believers and study the Word of God. If we are to live by the Bible, it is important to read it closely to learn what it says. One of the things we learn from it is the importance of giving. God is the God of extravagant favors, but whether or not we benefit from his prophecies depends on whether or not we believe what the...

When we spend time with other believers, the message that we should die to sin is something we hear so often that it can become a cliché. We should definitely deal with this issue, but the problem is that the more we focus on not committing a particular sin, the more we find we are still sinning in that area. When we are in Christ, we are already dead to sin. The spiritual battle we fight is waged...

When we are born again, not only are we changed, but we also exchange everything we are not for everything that Jesus is. He is wisdom, righteousness, redemption, and holiness. We become these things when we are in Christ and he is in us. Each of us must decide to let him live through us by submitting and turning ourselves over to him, and acknowledging that we are not successful in our own abilit...

When we look at godly relationships between men and women, it is with an eye toward operating in biblical equality. This equality does not just apply to marriage, but to all aspects of life, including the ministry. Service to God is an open opportunity for everyone, regardless of gender or marital status. It is wrong to allow worldly traditions to contradict the Word of God in this area and set up...
