How do ya trust in the Lord about certain financial materials? I've prayed for this, now it's here!!! HELP! GB

Question

let's se...um...i've been in love with this wonderful man. I haven't ever fallen in love with anyone emotionally b4 & i couldn't even remembered exactly what he looked like after the firest 2x that i met with him. I realized this b4 the 3rd x & concentrated very hard on what he looked like when i saw him. Well, he's just beautiful! His eyes r hazel. He has the biggest most happiest smile! He lights up when i look @ him. I love his ears, too! He has a neatly shaven beard, well, what's that called? I couldn't remember if he completely shaved his hair or if it was very shortly shaved. Now i know! PRAISE GOD!
OK, sooo....now the Holy Spirit has put us in a union with Christ.
I received a new credit card in my inbox with all info. on it & this guy calls me for the #'s so that he can start working on clearing up my credit report.
I don't know how to use this computer well, i'm scared for the guy to call back and me not having the info. & i haven't ever used a man's credit b4. HELP!

I apologize. I wrote the last paragraph incorrrectly.
The man i'm in love with has GIVEN me a new credit card. I've not ever had a man, nor anyone else help me with finances b4.
I want him to know that he can trust me.
Should i use it to get what i need? (Ex: My bad credit).
I was worried to give it to the agency that wants to help me clean my credit.
What would YOU do?

Answer 1

I agree with Paula M:

1) don't use the guy's (or anyone else's) credit cards, even if he's your husband

2) don't use any credit cards that are your own

3) God's help respecting finances is generally limited to helping you to understand what are your legitimate priorities (responsibly providing for yourself and your household BEFORE tithing) -- see I Timothy 5:8.

Beware of shams and charlatans that scheme for your money from the pulpit, who claim that your poverty is the result of your insufficient giving to "the church" (or Christ, etc.) -- God has no need whatsoever for your money: He's omnipotent regardless whether you donate.

Robbers and thieves -- who usurp the language and icons of the faith, who rely on their influence within the organizational structure of churches to prey on their victims -- will often claim that you're just returning God's money to Him.

Interestingly, Jesus addressed this very issue in Matthew 22, Mark 12 and Luke 20: in that case, they were dealing with a coin, but whether coin or paper or electronic data is irrelevant to the principle at work.

However, it's easiest observed with our paper money: look at a dollar bill. You'll see thereon the phrases "Federal Reserve Note" and "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private." The note isn't guaranteed by God, but by the Federal Reserve and, ultimately, by you the taxpayer.

The note was printed by the United States Mint, at the direction of the Secretary of the United States Treasury -- who, despite whatever the Secretary might personally believe, is not God.

Pay-off your current debts. As you master doing this, you'll develop the skills essential to responsible credit management. Again, this may seem like your effort, but it's God that's ultimately teaching you -- IF you will learn.

ONLY AFTER you've mastered those lessons will you be on your way to becoming a "Proverbs 31" wife.

Best wishes as you grow in all the knowledge and maturity that Christ has for you.

Answer 2

If you have any doubt that the man in question is not using your credit wisely you can check by calling the credit card company==I am a firm believer everything happens for a reason-everything is a learning lesson--you can turn everything over to God and ask for his guidance-sometimes we are too anxious to hear his guidance or wait for it but it will come--you really just have to turn it all over to him---life is learning and he will teach you through yourself or someone else--I went through this period where I begged for his help and just hated what had happened in my life when my mother in law got brain cancer--I stopped saying negative things but then I started falling again then I got cancer---wake up life is a gift and some times we have to trust-you can monitor and protect yourself as you do not know why this man has been put in your life--for what lesson-but God always has a reason---lots of luck and prayers to lead you in the right direction--be careful not to fall into a credit card bankruptcy.

Answer 3

Good credit is important, and there are credit repair agencies who can help you a great deal. Make sure they are listed with the BBB and then check their track record. I would say that if he gave it to you to use, then use it for this necessity. Will you have to make the payments on the credit card? If so, make sure you can make them. Remember, if he is the owner of the card, the statements will come to him, so be prepared for him to know what you are doing. You won't be able to hide that.

And as far as trusting God for your financial situation, it takes nothing more than faith. God Bless you with lots of faith in God.

Answer 4

Miss,

I'm not trying to be rude, but based upon the language you've used above I would estimate you are a caring person who is a bit naive and is probably being scammed.

I would suggest you destroy the credit card and only pay cash for items. Never give out a credit card number or your social security number.

God Bless.

Answer 5

This is a little confusing, all that you have written, about not remembering what he looked like, but you were in love with him. But I would not give him any personal info. You can't "clear up a credit report". You have to start now paying your bills on time and in time your credit report will clear up itself. This guy don't sound to kosher to me. Be careful.

Answer 6

Why would you want another person responsible for your finances. Get another job and stock up on PB&J's.

DON"T use his credit card; Don't use any you may have....Take charge of your own finances....praying isn't going to pay your bills....working hard and too much will get you the financial peace you want. Pray for the stamina to stick to a budget..

Answer 7

Woman, do NOT give him your credit card numbers.

Answer 8

pulls glasses off and rubs eyes...
