A Truly Inspirational Email from My New Friend

Sometimes, as I write about the economic tricks of the banks and their nasty, predatory practises, as I write about the original fraud perpetuated on all free men and women so they live a life blighted by debt, despair and lack, I wonder if I am getting through.

Occasionally, someone will reply, post a comment or email me to ask for clarification. Some people do their own research and come back to me and take the step of joining the Ultimate Entrepreneur so they can get started on their own personal journey to financial freedom, debt cancellation and prosperity.

However, just the other day I received an email that really rocked me to my core. The writer was very appreciative of my work and wanted to tell me his story. I am humbled by his bravery, honesty and faith, and as we continue to communicate with one another daily, I now regard this man as both a true friend and an ideal for me to aspire to.

I have removed his name to respect his privacy, but if you have any messages for him, I’ll gladly pass them along. Here is his email in full…….

Hi Cynthia,

You are absolutely right. The Bible condemns Usury. Infact Jesus said something radical. He said:- ” Lend and don’t expect the money back !!!! “.

How many times have u heard preachers preach that and practice it at the same time?? I bet very very few times. So u r right when u say that the Bible is being misrepresented sometimes.

I will share something with u abt my personal life. In 2006, I was already in great debts; approximately Rs. 3,00,000/-; i.e abt $8,000/-. That may not sound much to u, but that’s a great amount of money by Indian standards.

The average monthly income of an Indian is $100. This might give u some idea what $8000 would mean to me.

I had applied for a bank loan in 2006 to invest in my business and also to get myself out of the financial misery. All the while, something inside told me that its not the right thing to do. But unfortunately, I did not what to do because I was too deep in debt.

Eventually after much thinking and battling in the mind, I just prayed to God and told Him that if this is a wrong thing, then He should get my loan application cancelled.

And you know what, the very next day, my loan got cancelled !!!. 

I was depressed and happy at the same time. I was happy because God did not allow me sink more into the debt trap but depressed and discouraged because now I had nothing to hope upon. My business shut down and we became even more poor.

We became soo poor that we went thru starvation. Imagine starving in a city like Bombay.

” Nobody nobody goes to sleep hungry in Bombay. ” This is a famous and very very true saying in Bombay. No matter how poor u r, u will always find something to eat in Bombay. Just imagine what kind of discouragement and depression I must have gone thru.

It saddened me more because I thought God failed me. But I was wrong because somehow God made me even more stronger thru this experience.

And slowly things started getting better as I started believing God’s word more confidently. And since 2006, I have decided that no matter how hard the situation is, I will never ever borrow money from anybody or any organisation.

And because of this decision of mine, things have been moving very slowly financially.

But I believe God. He is my provider. He will keep me and He will prosper me and jumpstart my business again.

 Just a couple of weeks back, some people had threatened me that if I don’t pay back their money, they would  file a legal case against me in the court the very next day. I was a bit disturbed and fearful. But I just kept my cool and remembered all the promises of God and prayed in “Tongues”.

And you know what, within a couple of hours, I received an email from a friend that he has sent me $1000 because God has asked him to do so !!!

Can u believe that ????? Even I had a hard time believing it. Even when I had that $1000 in my hand, I still had a hard time believing it. I hadn’t seen soo much money in the past few years !!!( You might find this shockingly funny) It took a couple of days for that thing to sink in my mind..LOL..hehehehehe
 

So Cynthia, I will say that again that u are doing a great job. But I have a strong feeling that we are not going to see the end of this Usury System in the next few years; atleast not in the next few decades. Cant u see whats going on around. People are being sucked into this system so early in life.

In the past 8-10 years, the number of people who are under the bondage of debts have increased exponentially in my country. Many of my young friends work just so that they can pay off their huge credit card bills!!!

I think much of this has to be blamed on the consumer mentality of people. It seems that everyone wants everything that is available out there on display. People don’t even know the meaning of self restraint. And this is exactly what the banks are taking advantage of.

I bet our grandparents had lesser stuff, gadgets and gizmos and they were much much more satisfied than us. Don’t u agree with me ?? Somehow  I feel that our generation is one the most self-satisfying and self-gratifying generation of all times. Selflessness and patience is a virtue that nobody even pursues nowadays.

Cynthia, all I want to say is that I need Jesus, not only for the salvation of my soul and spirit but also to save me from the problems and tribulation of this world. I absolutely cant do it on my own !!!

Thank you for these wise words, my friend and for allowing me to share them with others.
