Bitcoin Soars as a Beacon of Honest Wealth 🚀

Bitcoin is soaring right now—up over 30% in the past two weeks 📊 and ready to break through $100,000 in value 💸. This incredible momentum is not just a financial milestone; it is a powerful reminder of the transformative potential of Bitcoin as an honest form of wealth and stewardship 🌱. As Bitcoin grows, so does our capacity to fulfill Jesus24365's mission—helping the poor, spreading the Good News, and glorifying God. This rise allows me to financially invest into the growth of Jesus24365 Ministry, ensuring that we can expand our reach, share the Good News, and help even more of those in need. As the world begins to recognize the value of decentralized financial systems, we are reminded of the Biblical principles that guide us in how we manage and grow the resources God has given us.

✨ A Reflection on Bitcoin, Faith, and Honesty

As Bitcoin continues to surge, reaching new financial milestones, it's not just about numbers—it's a reflection of how God provides the tools and opportunities we need to fulfill His work. Let me share how this connects to our faith, mission, and the journey God has guided me through.

🙏 Our Mission

Jesus24365 Ministry was founded with a simple yet profound mission: to share the Good News, grow God's Kingdom, and help the poor and those in need. Everything we do is seen through the lens of What Would Jesus Do (WWJD) ✝️, and it is this perspective that drives our work every day. In Jesus' time, as today, financial resources play a significant role in supporting His mission—not to diminish the miracles He performed or God’s boundless power, but to acknowledge the practicalities that often accompany ministry work.

💰 Bitcoin as Financial Stewardship

🌟 A Personal Journey of Faith and Financial Freedom

From 2015 to 2020, I worked tirelessly, often 80-100 hours per week, driving Lyft and Uber. During those years, I faced the reality of selling my labor to make ends meet. But 🙌 PRAISE GOD, through His grace and the transformative power of Bitcoin, I no longer have to sell my labor. Now, I can dedicate myself fully to creating Jesus24365 Ministry without financial concerns, trusting that the resources He provides through Bitcoin will sustain our mission.

With Bitcoin's recent growth, my ability to financially invest in the ministry has significantly increased, allowing us to expand our reach, share the Good News, and help more people in need.

Since 2017, I have been accumulating Bitcoin, and it now constitutes 98.8% of all my financial assets. Jesus24365 Ministry has committed to allocating 15-20% of its monthly revenue into Bitcoin, held in our treasury to best secure our long-term sustainability. The majority of our resources, 80-85%, are directed toward helping those in need, and 5-10% goes toward operational needs.

This morning, while studying Proverbs 13 📖, I was struck by how it relates to financial stewardship. Then, as I turned to Psalm 48, it became even clearer:

This speaks to the essence of sustainable growth and honest wealth. Following this, Psalm 48 reassured me of God’s security:

And what is our money today? Whether in the USA or elsewhere, it is dishonest—not backed by anything of true value since 1971. This allowed unchecked growth in debt, now at $35 trillion, wreaking havoc on countless lives globally.

🔑 The Role of Bitcoin and the Strategic Reserve

Technology, like all things, is a tool from the Almighty. Bitcoin is one of the most unique technologies we can utilize, made possible through divine providence. Bitcoin, unlike traditional money, is not controlled by anyone—there is no central authority, no government, no board of directors 🌍. This means it has no counterparty risk, which is a critical factor in ensuring the honesty and stability of wealth. By embracing Bitcoin, we are embracing a form of money that aligns with Biblical principles of integrity and stewardship. It allows us to be good stewards of our resources, free from the influence of centralized powers that can devalue our savings or manipulate economic conditions.

Jeff Booth's perspective on technology highlights the inevitability of change driven by technological progress. Bitcoin, as part of this deflationary force, aligns perfectly with our mission to use honest wealth to grow God's Kingdom and support those in need. Embracing this force allows us to better serve our community and fulfill God's work.

In alignment with this, the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis aims to ensure the U.S. government secures its future by purchasing 200,000 bitcoins annually over five years. This strategy of accumulating Bitcoin for the long-term serves as an example for all of us. Just as the government sees the potential for securing its future through Bitcoin, we at Jesus24365 Ministry are committed to securing our ability to share the Good News and grow God's Kingdom by responsibly accumulating and utilizing Bitcoin.

I believe that all of God’s children will eventually view value through the lens of Bitcoin—understanding costs in Satoshis, not in a currency that loses its value. This makes me wonder, was Satoshi Nakamoto a prophet sent by God? Proverbs 13:11 leads me to consider it seriously. The truth is, Bitcoin—with no government, no board of directors, no centralized control—is an honest form of wealth, unlike the systems we’ve known.

By adopting Bitcoin as part of our financial strategy, we are ensuring that our resources grow steadily and sustainably, allowing us to continue helping the needy and poor without the fear of our assets losing value due to dishonest systems. With Bitcoin’s rise, we can reinvest into the growth of the ministry, creating a greater impact and fulfilling our mission to serve others. This kind of financial stewardship is not only practical but also deeply spiritual—honoring God by managing what He has entrusted to us wisely and justly.

Quotes from Thought Leaders on Bitcoin

Alex Gladstein's insights align with our mission to help the needy and poor, emphasizing how Bitcoin empowers individuals in oppressive regimes by providing a way to bypass centralized control and access financial freedom. This speaks directly to the transformative power of Bitcoin as a tool for God's Kingdom.

Michael Saylor describes Bitcoin as a way for billions of people to access honest wealth, and this perspective underscores why Jesus24365 Ministry has adopted Bitcoin as a financial asset for Kingdom growth.

Senator Cynthia Lummis's advocacy for a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve reinforces the growing recognition of Bitcoin's value at the highest levels of government. The idea of the U.S. government investing in Bitcoin reflects its long-term value, and this aligns with our strategy to hold Bitcoin as part of our ministry's financial stewardship.

Robert Kennedy Jr. emphasized the role of Bitcoin in protecting individual rights and promoting financial freedom. This resonates with our mission to grow God's Kingdom by providing tools that empower individuals with freedom and dignity.

Bitcoin's decentralized nature allows for permissionless transfers, enabling funds to be sent directly to recipients without reliance on intermediaries. This ensures that aid can reach those in need promptly and securely, aligning with our mission to help the poor and grow God's Kingdom.

🤔 Reflection: The Merits of Bitcoin

Consider how embracing decentralized financial tools like Bitcoin can enhance our ability to serve the needy and advance our mission. Reflect on the potential of such technologies to overcome barriers in delivering aid, allowing us to help more people and spread the Good News effectively. How might integrating these tools into our ministry empower us to fulfill our calling more effectively?

🔍 Reflecting on Honest Money

I encourage you all to reflect on this: What is honest money? Who is controlling your wealth, and how is it serving the Kingdom of God? Bitcoin's decentralized nature makes it uniquely positioned to align with Biblical principles of integrity and stewardship.

🕊️ Finding Sacred Stillness in God’s Presence

Finding stillness in God’s presence is a crucial part of the Jesus24365 mission. It helps us to center ourselves in Him, to listen to His guidance, and to remember that all we do—including our financial stewardship and ministry growth—begins with our relationship with God. In today's busy world, it can be challenging to pause and connect with God in silence. Yet finding moments of stillness is one of the simplest ways to experience His peace and strengthen our foundation as we pursue His Kingdom work. As we prioritize time with Him, whether in the early morning, a brief walk, or moments of prayer, we allow God to fill our hearts with calm and renewal.

This verse reminds us to surrender our busyness and find rest in God’s presence. A brief pause, even just for a moment, allows us to remember His sovereignty and receive His grace. Let us be intentional today in finding that sacred stillness.
