There are forces that run our world—but they rarely wear their true names. They slip quietly into dreams, desires, fears, and ambitions. They write the rules we follow without asking. Their names are money, power, and sex.
And while they appear to be external pursuits, they are, at their root, emotional blueprints, shaped by pain, identity, history, and belief.
This is what you dont know about them:
The Psychology of Money
Money is not just numbers in a bank account. It’s not just paper or plastic.
It is identity, survival, safety, and status.
It carries voices from our past:
– “There’s never enough.”
– “Only the lucky get rich.”
– “You're not worthy of that kind of life.”
So money becomes emotional.
It triggers:
Worth: “I deserve more” or “I’m not good enough”
Fear: “I’ll never have enough”
Control: “I feel powerful when I have money”
Security: “When I have money, I’m safe”
Here’s the deep truth:
People don’t chase money—they chase what money means to them.
And most financial struggles? They're not about math.
They're about emotion, belief, and a story that needs rewriting.
How someone spends, saves, gives, or hoards reveals their inner wounds and unspoken needs.
The Psychology of Power
Power isn’t inherently evil. But it’s often misunderstood.
It is influence, freedom, dominance, and the ability to protect yourself or lead others.
People chase power when they feel:
Small – “I want to feel significant”
Invisible – “I want to be seen or heard”
Violated – “I want to never be hurt again”
Helpless – “I want to be in charge of something”
At its worst, power becomes a cover for insecurity.
At its best, it becomes a platform for service.
Some chase power to prove they’re not broken.
Others pursue it to heal the brokenness around them.
True power is not loud. It is grounded.
It does not need to dominate. It knows how to uplift and set boundaries.
Power without healing becomes manipulation.
But power with self-awareness becomes transformation.
The Psychology of Sex
Sex is more than the body. It is psychological, spiritual, and deeply tied to identity and connection.
It asks questions we don’t always know we’re asking:
Belonging – “Will someone choose me?”
Validation – “Am I attractive, desirable, wanted?”
Connection – “Can I be seen, touched, understood?”
Escape – “Can I forget my pain for a moment?”
Sex can be a cry for healing.
It can be an addiction disguised as freedom.
It can be a place of truth, or a hiding place from it.
Culture sells sex as power, but many are enslaved by it.
When unhealed, people use sex to fill a void.
But when sacred, sex becomes a space of trust, safety, and intimacy.
The Triangle: How They Interact
Money. Power. Sex.
They don’t live in separate rooms. They sit at the same table.
One fuels the other. One distorts the other.
If You Chase them without healing, you might need Money to prove worth while losing yourself in performance, greed, or emptiness, Power to avoid weakness while manipulating others or fearing being challenged, Sex for validation while settling for attention instead of love.
But when you heal…
Money becomes a tool for purpose and generosity.
Power becomes the strength to lift others and protect boundaries.
Sex becomes a sacred expression of love, not a silent cry for value.
A Spiritual Insight: Through the Eyes of the Kingdom of God
Jesus described a Kingdom where these forces don’t rule us—we rule over them with wisdom and love.
Money is not a master—it’s a servant for good.
Power is not domination—it’s leadership through humility.
Sex is not sold—it’s honored, protected, and sacred.
The unhealed versions of money, power, and sex enslave people.
The healed versions free them.
What you desire is not wrong.
But until you know why you desire it,
you’ll chase shadows and never feel full.
The work is not to reject money, power, or sex.
The work is to heal your relationship with them.
Because these forces don’t begin with society.
They begin with us.
