When we think of poverty, we usually think of money or economics, but the spirit of poverty may or may not have anything to do with these. The spirit of poverty is a stronghold established for the purpose of keeping us from walking in the fullness of the victory gained for us at the cross, or the blessings of our inheritance in Christ.

Although this stronghold is one of the enemy's most successful weapons against us, we can overcome it, thus gaining a place of spiritual authority from which we can be used to meet some of the world's most pressing needs.
