This morning I heard some interesting instructions for
Revival....
....give more
in the 'collection plate'!
Malachi spoke to the leaders
about their laxness in a number of areas
including the area of vows not being fulfilled
(like marriage)
and turning away from God's decrees...
God gave them an instruction;
'Return to Me.
and I will return to you.....'
to which
they asked a good question;
- HOW do we return?
- What do we do to return to You?
- what does that look like....? ref Mal 3:7,8
ANSWER:
- Pay Your Tithes and Offerings to God
- Stop 'robbing' Him
- Test God in this..... ref Mal 3:8-10
Very interesting....
God challenges them about their lack of social justice
Their disregard to for His directives on how to live Godly lives....
and the
'fix'
the
starting place for change is
Money.
Wow.
That's very revealing
Jesus said it was harder for a rich man
to enter the kingdom
than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle...
Recorded in 3 Gospels ref Mat 19:24, Mk 10:25, Lk 18:25
Money...
and when I release it
into the Kingdom
I am released from it's hold
on the rest of my life...
...revival...
very interesting....
Lord,
What an interesting revelation
into what holds me back...
what money does to keep me
from You.
I choose to return to You.
and I recognize tithes and offerings
leverage all kinds of change for that.
Yeah....
Thank You for calling my heart back...
through my
wallet!
:)
