FINANCIAL SCRIPTURE PROMISES
 This is a very incomplete list! Someone** once said there are 34,000 promises in God's Word. What a treasure is this immense constellation of promises!! As you seek Him and study the Bible, God will give you your own arsenal of powerful Scriptures to work miracles if you are lacking money for your needs. But, for God's promises to work in this realm, make sure 1) you have
no unconfessed sin in your life; 2) you are tithing
to God's house; 3) you are being wise in how you handle money (do not live beyond your means and honor your financial commitments); and 4) you are giving regularly and generously to others in need, no matter how poor you are (remember the case of the widow in 1 Kings 17:11-16 who shared sacrificially with Elijah, and then after received a miracle).
Many people have also given testimony that God has richly blessed their finances when they gave to further the Gospel going out to Jewish people. This Scriptural principle began in Genesis 12:3 when God said to Abraham, "I will bless those who bless you (and whoever curses you I will curse)."
Lastly, beware of greed and covetuousness. Yes, God certainly wants to meet your need, but not your greed. See Luke 12:15 below, as well as our tract, The Love of Money, and many other Scriptures (Ex.20:3-4+17; Eccl.5:10-13; Mt.6:24; 1 Timothy 6:10; Hebrews 13:5).

man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."... So is
he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
Luke 12:15+21
"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his
poverty you might become rich. And in this matter I give my advice: it
is best for you now to complete what a year ago you began not only to do
but to desire, so that your readiness in desiring it may be matched by
your completing it out of what you have. For if the readiness is there,
it is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he has
not. I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened, but that
as a matter of equality your abundance at the present time should supply
their want, so that their abundance may supply your want, that there may
be equality. As it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing over,
and he who gathered little had no lack." 2
Cor.8:9-15 (and Ex.16:18)
"Remember this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap
sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously...having
all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written,
'He has scattered abroad His gifts to the poor...Now He who supplies seed
to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store
of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be
made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion."
2 Cor.9:6+8b+9a+10-11
"And my God will meet all your needs according to His
glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
(The Philippians gave to Paul generously,
and so Paul could say the above statement.) Phil.4:19
And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious
about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall
put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse
nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the
birds! And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of
life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are
you anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither
toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the
field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe
you, O men of little faith! And do not seek what you are to eat and what
you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind. For all the nations of the world
seek these things; and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek
his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well. "Fear not, little flock,
for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your
possessions, and give alms; provide yourselves with purses that do not grow
old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches
and no moth destroys For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also. Luke 12:22-34
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth
and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves
do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your
heart be also. "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the
one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the
other. You cannot serve God and mammon. "Therefore I tell you, do not be
anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor
about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and
the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither
sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can
add one cubit to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin;
yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of
these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive
and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O
men of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we
eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles
seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them
all. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things
shall be yours as well. "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient
for the day. Matt.6:19-34
