[Repost] Fingerprints of Mammon

Some Christians fear money, but the problem is not our currency; it’s the love of it (Mammon). Consider Paul’s words: For the love of money is the root of all […]

Secrecy is a sign of Mammon

What do clubs like the Freemasons, Odd Fellows, and Illuminati have in common?

They’re all shrouded in secrecy.

Back in 2007, when I was researching for my first book, I discovered that secrecy is a hallmark of mammon.

But what is mammon?

Mammon is the deification of wealth—the personification of it.

It’s worshipping money for the sake of it. It’s selling your soul get ahead, no matter who’s hurt.

Money is power and secrecy is a strategy the enemy uses to hold onto power.

Now, I’m sure most of you have never been part of a secret club, but I bet somewhere in your family line a relative has dabbled in one (especially free masonry if you’re in the United States).

Even if you’re sure you’ve never opened this door, it’s good to cover yourself in prayer.

To disempower the effects of mammon, say, “I see you, mammon. I do not partner with you. I send you back in Jesus’ Name.

Jesus, cleanse me from all ties to this spirit. Forgive anyone in my family who has opened a door to secrecy or exclusive clubs. Jesus, what gift do you have for me in exchange?”

Write down what Holy Spirit says and place it on your fridge or bathroom mirror. Make sure it’s somewhere you can visit daily and remind yourself of the breakthrough God has provided.

If you need help removing any more fingerprints of mammon, schedule a Financial Sozo with me. We can root out any sneaky side effects of this spirit and replace them with God’s truth.

Book Club: Money And The Prosperous Soul [Chapter 7: Mammon]

Today we’ll talk through chapter 7 of my book, which covers the topic of Mammon. Many understand mammon to denote greed, but the actual translation comes from the Greek word μαμμωνᾶς, which means:

To personify wealth. To deify riches as a god.

Characteristics of mammon

Mammon is a mastering spirit. Its common interpretations are avarice and lust, but secrecy, addiction, and envy are also involved.

For a full list of mammon’s traits, here’s a post I wrote a while ago.

If you discern mammon’s presence in your life, don’t hesitate to reject its influence. Use these steps to renounce its hold: 1) Identify, 2) Renounce, and 3) Exchange. Here’s an example of how to do this:

  1. Identify: Say, “I see you Mammon (i.e., greed, addiction, jealousy, envy).”

  2. Renounce: “I do not partner with you, and I send you back in Jesus’ Name.”

  3. Exchange: “Jesus, what do You want to give me in exchange?”
