To Tithe or not To Tithe, is NOT a question!

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,”
Says the LORD of hosts,
“If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
“And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,”
Says the LORD of hosts;
Malachi 3:10-11 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
To Tithe or not To Tithe, that is NOT a question!! The scripture quoted above is very clear about what we are to do.
Tithing, you mean we’re really supposed to do that? No, We GET to do that, we have a choice. But God tells us what the right choice is and what will happen if we make the wrong choice (the curse comes). It should be done with a willing and cheerful heart, not because you have to. Remember an offering is NOT a tithe. You tithe first and offerings are above and beyond your tithe. But, God says to test or prove Him by bringing your tithes into His storehouse (your local church where you are a member and are pastored, you are a member of a local church somewhere aren’t you? That’s in His Word also!) and see if He won’t open the windows of heaven and pour out more blessings than you can contain. The Hebrew word translated here as windows (‘arubbah) could also have been translated as a sluice (an opening for water or better yet a dam or flood gate). He wants to flood you with blessings…will you let Him? And that’s not all, He says He’ll rebuke the devourer for our sakes and all we do will prosper. Is the devourer eating up your income? You have a choice, Blessings or curse…Tithe or not tithe. God even helps with the choice, in Deuteronomy 30 verse 19, He tells us to choose life!
I chose the Blessings! Some of you are choosing disobedience to God instead, that is sin!

MY PRAYER…
Father, help us to understand your plan. Help us to see how the Kingdom of God works. Open our spiritual eyes and show us Your ways. Lord help us to obey Your Word, help us to reap the blessings You have promised for obedience. Help us to reap the blessings and prosperity You have commanded us to have.
In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen

Due to lack of any support this ministry will be ending soon! Say Goodbye!
I’m appalled that Christians don’t seem to understand you give to get. Some of you are NOT even obeying God!
They would support sports or even gambling, but NOT a true Christian work!!

Debt Free

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellow man has fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:8 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Jesus paid our debt!

This is not talking about your day to day bills and debts. This is the debt we owe to God. Jesus paid our heavenly debt once and for all and now we owe only one. Thank God I don’t owe the debt for my sin, Jesus paid that in full with His Blood on the Cross. But I owe others the same love, respect and grace with which God has treated me! That is the debt I now owe, to live the life of Christ, since He lives within me and to share that love and life with everyone.

MY PRAYER…
Holy God who owns all things, I thank You for not just owning me, but for having bought me out of slavery, sin, sickness, disease, poverty, oppression, and death. Please re-kindle Your Holy love in my heart through Your Holy Spirit so I will be able to love others as You do. Father, give me the want to and the power to do so In Jesus’ name.
Amen

Receive The Work Of The Cross

Surely he hath borne our grief, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:4-5 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Have you received what Jesus did for you on the Cross?
Isaiah clearly prophesied the beating, the suffering, and the crucifixion of Jesus for our sins. But he also spoke that Jesus had already borne (past tense, carried away) our grief (sickness and disease properly translated from the Hebrew). If He has already borne (“past tense”) our grief and sorrows then why would we want to bear them again ourselves or ask Him to do it again? If someone took my punishment for me I am surely not going to willingly go and ask for it to be laid on me anyway. Jesus has given (“past tense”) us our healing and health, having taken (“past tense”) our sickness and diseases upon Himself and carried them away at the cross. Receive it, it’s yours, He gave it to you. Stop asking Him to come down, get back on the Cross and heal you again (Oh, God please heal me, if it’s your will! – Stupid prayer!, it is His will and He has ALREADY DONE IT!). God has already healed you – past tense, just receive what is already yours! But you can only do so by Faith in Him and what He has done through His death, burial, and resurrection, that is, IF YOU KNOW HIS WORD! You’ve got to look not just at the Cross, but beyond the Cross to His Resurrection! If you leave Jesus on the Cross, then you miss out on the power given by the Holy Spirit in His Resurrection.

MY PRAYER…
Father God, may I live today fully aware of the price You paid for my life, my prosperity, my deliverance, my health, and my healing. May my words, thoughts and actions be totally in line with Your Word and may I speak that which You have already spoken over me. Lord help me to realize that You have already paid the price for me. The bill’s been paid in full nothing is still owed! I didn’t deserve it, but You paid the price for me anyway because You love me. Father, thank You for Your Son Jesus and His awesome cleansing Blood, Your precious gift to me. Through Him that loves me, my Lord Jesus, I pray.
Amen

God’s Precious Grace

In Christ we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.
Ephesians 1:7 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Forgiveness. What a sweet, priceless and precious gift. What we could NOT fix, make right, make up, or pay for; what was impossible for man, God did for us through Jesus. With Him each day is a fresh start, the past is gone, forgotten, blotted out. “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.”, Psalm 103:12 You can’t get West by going East, you will always still be going East!! But what a cost to God to achieve that forgiveness, His Son had to became our sacrificial lamb. He placed Himself upon the altar of God in our place. The question is: “Have you received that Grace?” It is a gift and MUST be received, you can chose not to receive you know. Many have not chosen to receive this most Precious Gift from God.

MY PRAYER…
Thank You, Father, for the anguish that it cost You to forgive my sins by the blood of Your Son. Thank You that You were willing to make a way where there was no way. Thank You for giving You’re best. I pledge today that I will not take lightly the cost of my sin and will live in appreciation of Your grace. Lord strengthen me by Your Holy Spirit that I may be able to live the way You would have me to live. Through Jesus, who sacrificed all for my salvation I pray.
Amen

Praying The Right Kind Of Prayers

O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago.
Isaiah 25:1 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
What kind of prayers do you pray?
Are your prayers pro-active or reactive prayers? God’s actions are NOT reactions to current situations, but part of His long-term plan to bring redemption to the lost. Yes, He has done marvelous things: He took the evil intent of a mob who cried “Crucify Him” and turned it into an opportunity to fulfill the prophesies and redeem us. He took my wife and I half way around the world to be a part of the redemption of over 12,000 spirits for His Kingdom in Feb. – Mar. 2000. He protected lives and prevented the attempt on Sep 11, 2001 from taking the huge toll of lives that the attackers had hoped for originally. So don’t ask where God was on 9/11/2001 he was hard at work preventing many more from dying than did. Those that died probably didn’t heed His warnings or couldn’t hear Him anyway.
He has instead turned many lives back to His Kingdom and to prayer. It’s His plan, His way, or no way, there is no other way. He is perfect in His faithfulness and has done and will continue to do marvelous things. If we let Him. Important point: “If We Let Him!”,your choice. Pray for prevention it before it happens, NOT after it happens when you then need a miracle!

MY PRAYER…
Holy God, You surprise me with new wonders and new things daily. Yet deep in my heart I know they are not new to You. You ask new things of me daily and yet I know they are not new to You. Thank You for not making life boring or predictable so I might thirst and hunger after more of You. You who are forever fresh, new, exciting, and marvelous. Lord I will exalt You and praise Your name, for You are perfect and faithful always.
Through my Savior, Jesus Christ, I pray.
Amen

Competent, Able Ministers

He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
2 Corinthians 3:6 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
Are you a competent able minister, ALL Christians should be. A new covenant, God willingly entered into a new agreement with us, His creatures, He sealed it with the blood of His “First Born” Son, Jesus, and He sent the Holy Spirit to give us the power to live the life of this new covenant. In this new covenant we are to be ministers (servants & workers) of the Spirit not the letter (the Law, the Ten Commandments). God has made a covenant of love and grace and mercy with us. The Almighty has then turned around and made us worthy and competent to share that covenant with others. No wonder it is life-giving: it brings life to us and through us by His Love and the power of His Spirit!

MY PRAYER…
Father, I thank You for Your Word. God, thank You for Your Love and grace that has saved me from sin and has redeemed me from the law of sin and death. Thank You for sending Your Love gift of Your Son and the gift of Your Holy Spirit so that I can live with You in a covenant of life, grace, mercy, and love. While I confess my weaknesses, I also promise You that I will live to honor Your sacrifice, love and covenant; trusting that You will empower me, by Your Holy Spirit, to be what You are calling me to be. Because I know that of myself, I can do nothing.
In Jesus name I pray.
Amen

Born again?

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith.
1 John 5:4 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Born again? Then you have overcome the world and are victorious – now live it out! Are you born again, born anew of God’s Spirit? Have you made Jesus the Lord of your life, it’s the only way to be born of God. It’s the only way to heaven, there is NO other way! Jesus must be Lord of your life before He can be Savior of your soul! If you are and you know it, then you have already overcome the world! Nothing in this world (the natural) should sway you from the things of God. But, how do we get that victory? It’s already ours, He said so in His Word and His Word is truth. First and foremost, by the blood of Jesus, but we get it through our faith in Him and His Word and then living out that faith by letting Jesus be our Lord and guide in what we do, say, and think! I didn’t say it would be easy, I only said we have the victory. Do you believe you have the victory? If you do then you have it. His Word says we win.

MY PRAYER…
Father, I pray that You would reveal unto each and every one of Your truly born again children through the eyes of their understanding that ‘victory’ which Your Son HAS ALREADY provided for us through His Death, Burial, and Resurrection. That we would have a deep heart felt understanding that mere words cannot express. That You would burn into each of our hearts the fact that we are more than conquerors through Him that loves us. Also Father I pray that You would continue to soften the hearts of those who do not yet know You and Your Son Jesus. That we might gain more of them for Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ glorious and mighty name I pray.
Amen
