SID: Hello. Sid Roth here with Charles Vance. How do you prosper in bad times? Most people that aren’t even prophets know that the United States of America and thereby we’re not a nation unto ourselves, the whole world is crumbling financially, especially going to happen next year. So Charles, you’ve been telling me some statistics here about what’s going on with the U.S. economy.
CHARLES: If you put your trust in the U.S. government, the Federal Reserve Bank you’d be probably a very frightened person right now. Our U.S. government owes over $13 trillion
SID: You know what? I cannot even imagine 13 trillion.
CHARLES: Let me help you with the number.
SID: Okay.
CHARLES: If you try to count 1-1000, 2-1000 and you counted to 13 trillion it would take you almost 400,000 years to count that far. That’s providing you couldn’t sleep, 24 hours a day. It’s staggering. Four billion dollars per day is being added to that debt. I don’t think we can comprehend that. 225 of the richest people in the world only have $1 billion, or $1 trillion, I’m sorry, the 225 richest people in the world. We are just out of control. Our government is completely out of control. Nobody is doing anything to stop the spending. They just voted, I’m sure you’re well aware of, just a few months back to increase another $2 trillion. These people are business people. They’re intelligent people business-wise. I’m convinced that there’s something going on behind the scenes.
SID: How long can a country use Monopoly money?
CHARLES: You got me. And they just keep borrowing it, and they’re borrowing it from the Federal Reserve Bank. There’s not even enough gold to cover it in the world. There’s not enough gold in existence that we know of. I mean, I’m sure probably in the earth somewhere, to cover the debt of the United States. We’re the most in-debt nation in the world.
SID: Okay. We’re the most in-debt nation in the world. But worse than that, how about if you live in the United States like Charles and I do, but Charles is in the most poverty-stricken state in the United States, West Virginia. So what are you gonna do, leave America? I mean, are you fearful?
CHARLES: I’m not fearful. Do you know when money moves it doesn’t, or I should say probably material things, they just shift hands. Science has proven that you can’t destroy matter. It just moves from one place or it moves forms, changes forms. It moves from one person to the other. You know, when Israel left out of 430 years of bondage to Egypt–
SID: As slaves.
CHARLES: As slaves, overnight there was a wealth transfer that took place. They took with them the silver and the gold. And the Egyptians were glad to see them go because they had just gone through some of the most horrific times. The money wasn’t gone. The goods weren’t gone. They just changed hands. And there was a shift, I’ve heard people call this a wealth transfer, and sometimes I’m a little reluctant to use that terminology because of preconceived notions. But there is a wealth transfer that is taking place in the world right now.
SID: Are you going to be involved in this wealth transfer?
CHARLES: I believe everybody is going to be involved in it. The unfortunate thing is some people are gonna be involved in losing wealth, and it’s going to be transferred from one person. And Sid, this might be a shock to some people, but I believe that there’s going to be some great well meaning Christian folks that will lose wealth in its transfer to people that God calls, that Jesus actually called good and faithful servants.
SID: But Charles, that’s good for you, but I’m just curious. You have a congregation. When you teach this in your congregation in the most poverty-ridden state in the United States, what’s happened to people in just your congregation?
CHARLES: We’ve had several millionaires, either five or six millionaires in the last few years that have grown up, if you will, in our church, because, and obviously we’re not teaching just about the downside of the economy. But there are actually, there’s biblical steps that we walk through to experience to position ourselves for a wealth transfer coming to us.
SID: Is there a way to position ourselves for this FOG I was talking about, this favor of God? Is
there really a way that we can do this?
CHARLES: Absolutely there is.
SID: So knowing what’s about ready to happen, if we position ourselves right now, now I’m being really simplistic, if we position ourselves right now according to spiritual truths, when this economic crash happens in America money will still be there. Will this money come to us?
CHARLES: If we position ourselves. It’s coming to me already. You know, I heard a news report probably a month and a half or so ago that said in the next 12 months, which means probably within the next year or so that there is going to be over a million new foreclosures in America, a million people losing homes. I just bought three homes this year in addition to what I already own, and I bought them for pennies on the dollar.
SID: You know, I really believe God has raised Charles up for such a time as this, and it’s not just real estate. If you position yourself, the favor of God, He’ll give you ideas. I want to find out how to position ourselves. Be right back after this word.
