0:00 Introduction
We've been taught a lot of lies around money, and some of y'all have probably heard some of these lies. One of the lies we've heard is "time is money." Okay. That's a lie. And not only is it a lie, it's a very damaging lie. It's a very, it's a very tragic lie. It's a lie that creates poverty and devastation. Time is money. Time is money.

Hey, YouTube, Myron Golden here, and today I'm gonna be talking about how to get rich part two. And some people have asked in the comments from the last video like, "Why do you talk about-" or they don't even say "Why do you?" because when people like have discussed, they don't refer to you as "you."

They refer to you as "this guy," "the false prophet," whatever they wanna call you.

0:35 Why Do I Talk About Money So Much?
I'm gonna tell you why I talk about money so much. It's something that affects every single solitary day of our lives. It's the thing that most people spend most of their time doing. Figuring out how to get money.

I think the problem that people have with me talking about getting rich is the fact that they've not even defined for themselves what "rich" is. See, I talk about getting rich 'cause I use the term "rich" and the reason I use the term "rich" is 'cause the Bible uses the term "rich." I don't have a problem with it. I don't have a problem with the term "rich." I don't have a problem with the term "wealthy." I don't have a problem with the term "abundant." I don't have a problem with the term "prosperity" or "prosperous." I don't have a problem with any of those. They're all in the Bible.

If you got a problem with him. Like, take it up with God, right? Don't take it up with me. But the reason I talk about these things is because they are important.

1:29 Jesus Was NOT Poor!

People say, "Well, but Jesus was poor." I understand that you think Jesus was poor, but just because you think that doesn't mean it was true.

I asked somebody that question in the comments and I said, "If Jesus was poor, why did he need a treasurer?" And they said he needed a treasurer to distribute money to the poor. Where'd they get the money to distribute to the poor? Let's think all the way through our stuff.

The reason I talk to people about money is because it's one of the most important things in their lives. It's one of the most important things in our lives. And if you don't have any, you feel like you can't breathe. So it's right up there with oxygen, right?

It's not as important as oxygen, but it feels like it is sometimes, right? And so I talk about getting rich because getting rich is what people know they are looking for.

2:08 Conclusion

I can't prove this, but I can believe it. I believe if Jesus were here today, that he would talk to people about things that mattered to them.

Why? Because that's what he did in the Bible. If people were hungry, he fed 'em right? If they were thirsty, he gave 'em something to drink, right? If they were sick, he healed them. Jesus always ministered to the needs that people knew they had before he ministered to the need that he knew, that he knew they had.
