Thread: Spirit of Pride / Money

    Spirit of Pride / Money

    PLEASE HELP

    There is a tremendous spirit of pride in my family of origin, (in general). But right now it's reaping havoc on emotions regarding my elderly mother's finances. My mother's pridefulness regarding money is causing confusion & she is making bad choices & losing money.

    She doesn't want help, first, due to pridefulness, but also fear.


    Not only is she afraid of losing her independence, but, although my brothers have an appropriate interest in our mother's welfare, they also have had inappropriate self interest regarding her money & had acted upon that self interest at a time when she had been mourning over my father's death.

    So now she fears even more so of having anyone know her business.

    She is overwhelmed where she cannot catch up with things. She has a tedious way of managing her bills & accounts ... and she defends her "way" of doing things, even if it costs her.

    I really feel there are spirits here and this is a job for
    OUR LORD. I feel sooooh bad about this because I can hardly even talk to her about it, let alone help her.

    Even attempting to talk to her causes tremendous stress, anxiety & defeat in both of us. I have tried over & again to finally come to this conclusion that ...

    I cannot do this with out the Lord & intercessory prayer.


    The problems themselves would be so easily resolved, but it's the spirit that is so very difficult.


    I want my mother to be as independent as long & easily as possible, but she just doesn't realize that she is defeating her purpose and defeating me in the process.


    In Yeshua's name (Jesus), Please help this end.

    Thank you so much,

    Shalom & God Bless You!

    Praying you bring this situation to the Lord and watch what He can do! Sometimes we need to pray and step aside and wait on the Lord to call you to action. If He doesn't then watch Him as He has the victory!
    Praying for your mom.

    Praying you will be given wisdom and insight on what, if anything, to do in regard to your mother, and what not to do.

    Praying she will also be given wisdom and insight on what to do regarding her finances, her health and her money.
    Please pray for "the least of these" in the Persecuted Church Prayer Forum at top.

    Acts 21 Now they have been informed about you that you continually teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn back from and forsake Moses...Therefore do just what we tell you. With us are 4 men who have taken a vow upon themselves. Take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses [for a temple offering],...Thus everybody will know that there is no truth in what they have been told about you, but that you yourself walk in observance of the Law of Moses.
