Chapter Three

Your Heavenly Account

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! (Matthew 6:19-23).

You need to have a single eye, to become single-minded, concerning the Word of God. You must accept God’s Word as final authority. What is says, it means. When the Word says you are healed, you are healed! It doesn’t matter what your body says about it. If you will believe this and operate accordingly, then the covenant you have with God—His Word—will become the absolute truth in your situation, and your physical body will come into agreement with the Word.

I first began to learn this in the area of finance and prosperity when I went back to college. The idea of going back to school really scared me! I was 30 years old with a wife, two small children, and no idea how I would support them. There were people who told me I was making a mistake, that my family would go hungry, but I had accepted the call to the ministry and was looking to the Lord to meet my needs. Many people thought I was nuts! According to the world’s system, a man has to be in sheer poverty while he is in college, but the Word doesn’t say that. It doesn’t say, “God will meet you needs according to His riches in glory just as soon as you get out of college.” At that time I knew very little about operating by faith, but I was doggedly determined to go through with it. God took care of us. I never asked anybody for a quarter. We began to learn how to operate by faith.

In Matthew 6:20, Jesus teaches us to “.lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth or rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.”

This is what the Word says. However, with our religious heads we have read it this way: “Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth.but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt.and where thou canst not touch it until thou gettest to heaven.” We have added our own little idea, but this is not what Jesus meant. He was saying, “If you will let heaven be your treasury and your supply, then regardless of what happens on earth, you will have a bank that is not subject to theft or ruin.” What you have laid up then will be ready when it is needed.
