Matthew 6: 19-21

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves  treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

A man cannot work in one country while his paycheck is sent to another, except he has an account there, so also, it is not possible for us work on earth while simultaneously building treasures, dividends, and investments in heaven except we have an account there. 

To say that work in one world translates into wealth in another is to underscore the fact that there is a connection between both worlds. In this manner there exist trade relations between both

Pain; that agonizing and uncomfortable feeling you get when something is interrupted or out of place. Like your arm twisted behind your back, like the feeling of a clear paper cut on a delicate finger, or punch straight to the face.

Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

The Lord instructs us that when we BELIEVE, we have what we seek, meaning, it is placed in our hands. We will realize in time that we truly do have them, but we must activate our

Our lives and interactions are transactions in value, and we are by nature givers (creditors), takers, and offenders (debtors).

In Matthew 6:12, Jesus, while teaching on prayer said; ‘Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.’ Here, Jesus identifies forgiveness as something of value like money. Something that can be exchanged or traded, given or withheld.
