What You Need to Know About John Avanzini

Right now you may find yourself in a situation similar to Isaac’s.  You may be in the midst of your own economic famine.  So what do you do now?

If you desire more money in the midst of any economic famine, you must begin to sow more money seed, so it can produce a greater money harvest.  Without the sowing of seed, there can be no harvest.  Simply stated, if you want to prosper in hard times, you must start giving more to God so that He can release more finances to you.

He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 2 Corinthians 9:6

Everyone goes through difficult economic situations from time to time, but don’t stop giving to God when things get tight.  Remember that Isaac planted good, valuable seed in a time when everyone else was hoarding seed.  Isaac’s seed grew up in accordance with God’s command.

If you want more money in your hands each month, plant more money seed into the gospel each month.  When a child of God plants money seed, he has God’s Word that a money harvest will come up, even in the midst of the worst economic famine.

Poverty is not an accident, and neither is prosperity.  Strict spiritual laws govern both.

The spiritual law of release says be willing to release for increase.

The is he that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is [he] that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.  The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered himself. Proverbs 11:24, 25

God makes it clear.  If you scatter your money, it will increase and you will be prosperous.  If you hoard too much of it, more than is proper, you will be poor.  God’s spiritual law will not change, no matter how uncomfortable it makes you feel.

You may be asking, “do you mean I have to start giving my money away if I want to be prosperous?  That doesn’t make any sense.”

Your right.  In the eyes if the world, it doesn’t make sense.  God’s spiritual laws do not always make worldly sense, but they are His truths and will always work.

God’s spiritual laws will not change.  Release and increase (prosper); retain and decrease (tend to poverty). Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.  For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured unto you again. Luke 6:38

Remember: Prosperity is not an accident and neither is poverty. If you put God’s spiritual law of release into action, you can expect God’s promised law of increase to operate for you. God’s law of release is clearly stated in Luke 6:38

Chapter four spoke to you about something most Christians know God requires, but few ever do.  There you saw that the miracle of debt cancellations, as well as any other help the Lord might want to give you, must come through the open windows of heaven.  You know from Scripture that an open heaven exists only over those who tithe.

Bring ye all the tithe into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mind house, and prove me now herewith, said the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven…Malachi 3:10

You also saw that when you tithe, God rebukes the devourer.  Better said, God renders the devourer powerless in the lives of those who faithfully tithe. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes….Malachi 3:11

With the windows of heaven open and the devourer of your goods soundly rebuked and disarmed, the miracle of debt cancellation becomes much easier to receive.  God can now reach through the open heaven your tithe has produced and pour out blessings beyond your wildest imagination.

Testimony: The very day I made up my mind that no matter what, I was going to tithe, my husband was called back to work after being unemployed for seven months. R.S. – Pembroke Pines, FL

This next illustration is one of the most important I have found in Scripture, for it moves Jesus to make an exception to the predetermined plan. It causes Him to minister to a Gentile before the appointed day of the Gentiles has fully come (Acts 10).

The Book of Luke tells about this man. He was the centurion who sent a request for healing to Jesus. He wanted the Lord to heal his favorite servant.

Keep in mind that he centurion is a Gentile, so he is not as yet qualified to receive the ministry of Jesus.…I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.…It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs [Gentiles].Matthew 15: 24,26

These scriptures clearly show that the time of the Gentiles has not yet come. However, when they approach our Lord with the centurion’s prayer for healing, the leaders of the Jews do something very powerful. They ask Jesus to grant his request because he (the centurion) is worthy. Then they purposely mix his request with is generous offerings.

And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the leaders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.

And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he [the centurion] was worthy for whom he should do this:

For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. Then [after He heard about his giving] Jesus went with them…Luke 7:2-6

Hear the fifth verse again. However, this time hear it as the Amplified Bible puts it. For he loves our nation and he built us our synagogue [at his own expense].

Luke 7:5,

I can testify from experience that the law of sowing and reaping absolutely works.  Please don’t misunderstand.  I am aware that in the natural realm, things do not increase, they decrease.  However, things are different when it comes to sowing and reaping, because God has put the law of reproduction into place.  It is a law He maintains and enforces by His own power.

Now I will admit it takes a while for the thing you have sown to manifest itself.  Nevertheless, it always will, for whatever a man sows is exactly what he will reap.  It’s a biblical fact, and it operates because God enforces it!

If it weren’t for a statement in the Book of Ephesians, proving that God is the force behind the golden law would be much harder. However, Ephesians 6:8 not only says that God is the power behind the law, but it also shows you how to put this law to work in your own out-of-debt program.

Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. Ephesians 6:8

There it is in the clearest possible language.  God openly declares He is the power who makes the golden rule operate.  Whatever good thing you do for someone else, God will do that same thing for you.  Now notice carefully, an angel or some natural force won’t do it.  Jehovah God is the one who will do the same thing for you.

A second thing takes place under a closed heaven that will make your life harder. The timing of your entire life will be totally out of harmony with God’s desire for you. Malachi tells us when you start tithing, God promises that untimely events will stop taking place in your life

…neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field…. Malachi 3:11

Upon close examination of Malachi 3:8-11, you will see that faithful tithing brings you an open heaven (verse 10). It will also cause God to rebuke the devourer for your sake. Finally, those untimely, destructive events that constantly spoil your ability to increase will stop happening (verse 11).

Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. Isaiah 48:17

Testimony: We have experienced a miraculous debt cancellation. We know why God has blessed us. We have never stopped giving our tithes and offerings as God designated. Even in the lean times, we were faithful stewards. J.& L.E.—Birmingham, AL

Strange as it may seem, you will hot be totally committed to getting out of debt—I mean spirit, soul, and body—until you are able spontaneously to speak words about getting out of debt. Please notice, very few folks know the statement you are about to read. Let me word it carefully so that it can become a truth to you: Until you start speaking spontaneously of being debt free, the words won’t be coming from your heart. Don’t take my word for it. Hear God’s own Word on the subject.

I want you to read just one more scripture on the power of god that will come to you from hearing your own voice speak words about being debt free. Everyone knows it is the devil’s desire to overcome every Christian. He uses every possible trick to keep the children of God from spreading the gospel. There can be no doubt about it. The devil uses debt to redirect much of the money the Church needs to evangelize the world into monthly payments to the world system.

The Word of God plainly states that you an overcome the plan of the devil (debt) by repeatedly speaking of your soon–coming victory over debt. …they overcame him by the…word of their testimony…. Revelation 12:11

When you speak about your victories over any of the devil’s opposition, you will strengthen yourself as well as those who hear you.

Your God is a debt-canceling God. If He did it before, He will do it again. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 

Knowing this truth releases the power of God to you because it gives you the knowledge that miraculous debt cancellation is still happening today. 

Your God is no respecter of person. You now know He has cancelled the debts of other individuals. Therefore, He is  willing to do the same for you. …God in no respecter of persons. Acts 10:34 

Knowing this truth releases God’s power to you because it lets you know hat I can also happen to you.

It is God’s will that you be totally debt free. And all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee, If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. …and thou shalt lend…and thou shalt not borrow. Deuteronomy 28:2, 12

Knowing this truth releases even more of God’s power to you because you now have a specific word from God about being debt free. His Word says He wants you out of debt, and with His word comes the promise of power necessary to accomplish it.

The next illustration of God’s debt-canceling power comes from the New Testament. The debt we will now see cancelled is a tax bill. A large number of God’s children face delinquent taxes. Many of them write me and ask if God cancels tax bills. Praise God, He most surely does. Better than that, He most surely has.

Scripture tells us that God cancelled a tax bill for someone whom we all know and love. He did it for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! The Account of this miraculous debt cancellation is in the seventeenth chapter of Matthew. There we find the tax collector confronting Simon Peter. The tax collector asks him if Jesus is going to pay His taxes (tribute money). Simon Peter immediately tells the man that Jesus most certainly is. As Peter leaves the tax collector to get the necessary cash from the treasury, our Lord sets in motion a miracle of debt cancellation that pays off both of their tax bills.

Notice that Jesus deliberately prevents Simon from proceeding with his plan to use the cash reserves of the ministry to pay the bill.

God is definitely not silent on the subject of debt. The Bible gives instance after instance in which God miraculously cancels the debts of His people. In fact, the Holy Bible has more to say about the cancellation of people’s debts than it does about blind eyes being opened, or lame legs walking. The Word of God actually speaks of debt cancellation from cover to cover.

This first stone you must lay hold of is an information stone. God has three important pieces of information you must firmly fix in your mind. It is important that you thoroughly understand each of these principles. As soon as you do, you will immediately begin to feel the energy of God flowing into your out-of-debt program. Please believe me. These are not just idle words. Real, enabling power will flow from God’s life into your life.

I hope you are aware that power does flow from God to man. There are a number of scriptural references that prove this fact. If you remember, God’s power flowed when the woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of our Lord’s garment. As soon as she touched the truth (Jesus), power flowed from Him, to her. It was the kind of power she needed, for it instantly healed her body, stopping her flow of blood.
