RE: Tithe = Material Blessing.

I have been asked by some concerning my position in regard to tithing.  So I give you a brief analysis.  In stating my position, you may gain some valuable insights for the days ahead.

I need not teach on tithing.  Most of you have been "Tithed" to death by those who would lust for your money to build their empire.  I will just give a short treatise of the subject, and even that could cause many to howl.

The Prophetic Word is full of the blessings that are to be bestowed upon the "People of Zion" in this day.  Those that are going through much tribulation over finances are being prepared FOR THOSE BLESSINGS.  

The first thing we must have corrected in us is our perspective towards money.  Where we have been irresponsible and much susceptible to the enemy's miss-direction, we must become WISE in how we handle it, and the proper priority of the importance it carries in our minds.

Tithing is for more than just giving it to "ministers."  It is also for people who are suffering financial hardship, and I do not mean people who are experiencing such by their own stupidity, or laziness.   

I have had times when I suffered severe loss of the material in the dealings of the Cross on my life.  Why did this happen???  The "Lamb without Blemish" was CRUCIFIED BY SATAN to take upon Himself OUR SINS!.  We go through the cross to be exposed in our wretchedness so that we can give it to the one who takes it upon Himself at the Cross.  It is Satan that brings this cross experience upon us, even as he did with our Savior.  As with Peter, he comes to sift us, and in the sifting, find the ground he can use to bring attacks upon us.  If we walk correctly by submitting to the Cross at the time of exposure, we will be redeemed into the place where as with Jahshuwah, he can find NO GROUND in us.

Where did Satan find ground in me to take from me???  The same place he finds in most people who have suffered loss of the material.  I had to face facts, as in suffering loss, I myself had given the ground.   What was that ground???  NOT BEING A GIVER!!!  

I have learned the hard way that instead of GIVING our way out of a financial plight, we become stingy, and try to save ourselves through the ways of Babylon.  In doing so, we are CURSING OURSELVES!!!

We must GIVE to RECEIVE, no question.  If we do not give, we are hindering Jah's desires of financial blessings for us.  Because of my own financial struggles over the years, I have had to go to the cross and fight hard to become the giver.  I keep money on me at all times just in case I run into someone that has a legitimate need.  Being a giver changes one’s whole perspective concerning money.  I myself would not survive financially but by my giving.  Our perspective MUST CHANGE from being worried over finances which causes us to be STINGY with what we have, into being the giver who is unconcerned with any present circumstance.  If we hang onto what we have, we WILL LOSE IT!!!  Hear me well.  To gain more of life and life more abundantly, whether in "Spirit", or in the natural, we must be GIVERS.  Jahshuwah made this principle VERY CLEAR, and we need to listen up.

I have ALWAYS GIVEN with no charge attached whatsoever what I have received in understanding of the Word, and in that giving, have ALWAYS received MORE LIGHT.  In receiving more Light, perspective of the Word grows clearer, deeper, and wider.  

One reason I have not said much about money is because of the reflection it imposes of being a greedy money grabber upon the one who touches the subject.  Neither do I want my mind pressured by feeling I might lose support if I speak as I aught and thereby offend one who has helped me.  Maybe this has been negligence on my part, as this is a vital subject, and it must be covered in depth.  I will not do that in this short note, but just might in the days ahead. 

I need not to list a hundred scriptures for most of you concerning the tithe and giving, as you probably already know them.  I will give a couple to show you what I am talking about.  Here are two such examples of the hundreds.   The Book of Haggai is a wonderful book that is speaking DIRECTLY to us.  It is LOADED with messages.  One thing for sure, Jah is telling us what is causing our financial woes.

Then came the word of Jah by Haggai the prophet, saying, Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your (own self-centered comfort zones) ceiled houses, and this house lie waste?  Now therefore thus saith Jah of hosts; Consider your ways.  Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.

Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the Eternal of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.  Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.   

I need not tell you of the mess "HIS HOUSE" is in.  We "as His House" may be the most confused and disjointed body of believers the earth has probably ever seen.  Our biggest problem is being MORE concerned about our own life, our own comfort zone on this earth, our own financial status and material goods, THAN ON HIS DESIRES and the condition of His House.  Instead of giving to a work that labors to build His End Time House, we hold back for our own welfare.  Then when when find ourselves carrying a money bag with holes in it we cannot figure out why, and have the audacity to ask Jah, "Why is this happening to me"?

Jah makes it very clear to us in His Word of what brings financial blessing.  If we do not see it, it is because the stingy ego absorbed with its own cares does not want to.  As He tells us in Malachi:

Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.  Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.  Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Eternal of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.  And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Eternal of hosts.  And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Eternal of hosts.

"The Devourer" is the MAIN ENEMY of those in the Overcoming to "come out of her."  He wars to turn us from being one with Jah and what He instructs to make us one with him.  This involves EVERY AREA of our life, and certainly where our money is concerned.  He wants to hold us in captivity to his and Jezebel's Kingdom of Babylon.  As long as they can keep us in a financial straight, they CAN HOLD US CAPTIVE!!!

We ARE to come out, and a part of that coming out is by BEING A GIVER as Jah so Instructs us.  Do you want to receive the abundance of the Kingdom and Kingdom Life???  Well then, GIVE TO IT!!!  

We are living in the most wicked generation, and the most wicked nation this earth has ever seen.  I will not prove this here.  My web pages are more than adequate for that proving.  That is, if you are even one that needs this to be proven to you.  Hundreds of Prophetic Scriptures speak of us as the "House of Israel", and of this wicked mess we would find ourselves.  I will give a bit here so that you can follow a train of thought.

Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in Jah; she drew not near to her Elohim.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues  (judgments).  For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

We are being warned quite plainly.  If we stay IN "Her", in Her abominations and false ways, we are going to receive Her JUDGMENTS, NOT BLESSINGS!!!

Not only does Jah Prophesy to us of what our condition would be, but ALSO of the blessings that would fall upon those that would come out of the wickedness.  ALL WICKEDNESS is a VIOLATION of His Law, Torah, His Precepts and Instructions necessary for acquiring the Kingdom Life we all long for within.  Zephaniah 3 is just one of those chapters.  We are headed for an astounding time.  A time that most of us cannot even comprehend.  Not only are we shown where He is taking us in our "coming out", BUT HOW TO GET THERE.

The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.  

How can we come to this position of having NO INIQUITY IN US???  We certainly cannot come to this place by our own works, not even by our efforts to comply with every issue of The Torah.  It can only be accomplished by the redemptive works of the Cross that frees us from this "old nature", and develops the Nature of Jahshuwah in us unto His Full Stature.  This IS the full and complete Redemption from the Fall of Adam and Eve.  There is NO OTHER WAY to become sinless.  What happens as this is brought to pass in our lives through this work?

Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.  

Jah hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the Eternal, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.  In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.  Jah thy Elohim in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.  

I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.  Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.  

At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith Jah.   

Our captivity is being reversed the more we are led into following the Torah, the precepts and Instructions of our Father who DOES KNOW what blesses and what does NOT bless.  These Instructions tell us what blesses us, and what CURSES US.  We are being redeemed from out of the curses, and into the blessings, as Jahshuwah was made a curse for us in our place, whereby affording us the path to walk in to get there.  What was the path he said we should walk???  Take up your cross and FOLLOW ME!!!  

For further clarification of how we leave the realm of death and curses, and enter into the realm of life and blessings, please read the email series that gives a more thorough explanation.  For that series:

It says very clearly in His Instructions that:

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of Jah thy Elohim, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Jah thy Elohim will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Jah thy Elohim.

Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.

Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

Jah shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

Jah shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which Jah thy Elohim giveth thee.

Jah shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, IF. . .  thou shalt keep the commandments of Jah thy Elohim, and walk in his ways.

And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of Jah; and they shall be afraid of thee. . . .

. . . . . And Jah shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of Jah thy Elohim, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of Jah thy Elohim, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

Do you see ANY PART of the life you desire left out in the above scripture???  How are we to receive these blessings???  hearken diligently unto the voice of Jah thy Elohim, to observe and to do all his commandments   Can we do this of our own selves???  Of course not.  If we could, Jahshuwah would NOT have needed to die to afford unto us the redemptive work that it takes to get us there.  (See "Concerning Law and Grace")

Yes, it takes a work in us, but How ANYONE COULD THINK that the Torah, the precepts and instructions of the Almighty All-Knowing One has been done away with because it leads to bondage, I DO NOT KNOW!!!  What spiritual thick heads we have.  It is SIN that leads to bondage, and to every curse in the Torah, and that is exactly what is falling on this nation!!!  Does anyone stop to think???  We have come to the place where we believe "We are delivered to do all these abominations."  We were NOT DELIVERED by Jahshuwah's sacrifice to continue in sin, but so that we could be empowered by His Life to COME OUT OF IT!!!

Do you feel blessed or cursed???  If cursed, how do you . . . how do . . I,  expect to become blessed and ignore the one who does the blessing and WHAT HE INSTRUCTS to get those blessings???  It is time we made Jah the Elohim of our life, listen to HIM instead of men, and pray for the work to be done in us that conforms us unto the image of HIM who IS the Torah that "became flesh" and is WRITTEN ON OUR HEARTS.  The point of this particular article is to become THE GIVER!!!

Many are "Suffering the Contradiction" of everything Jah has promised to them.  Why?  We cannot live in contradiction to His Instructions and think we will NOT reap from what we sow.  If we want the Kingdom, and The Kingdom Life, then we will have to follow the Instructions of how we receive it.  VIOLATE THOSE INSTRUCTIONS, and we will SUFFER THE CONTRADICTION!!!  Is there anyone besides me that knows what I am talking about by experience???  (Just everyone that reads this, that's all.)

Many people are in the quandary of where to give.  I do not blame them.  I see little in this day that I in good conscience before Jah could give to.  Most "ministries" have fallen, and are falling away from the correct path, and are teaching the people the FALSE WAYS of Jezebel.  We will NOT come into the promised blessings of the giver by giving to these "ministries", for they are NOT BUILDING HIS HOUSE, but TOWERS OF BABEL!!!

If we are going to receive His Blessings, then we are going to have to give to that which IS concerned with the building of His End Time House, and calling the people out of the Harlotry to do that building.

Through the years, I have ALWAYS supported a ministry where I was receiving help, even when I did not approve of everything that might have been said.  I think this is a principle of Jah.  If He has set me before someone where He is ministering to me, then I need to support that, as Jah will use that ministry for others as well.  When I am through being taught something there, then my giving to that ministry ends.  

 Giving is between a person and our Father.   It is NO ONE ELSE'S BUSINESS where you give, and certainly NOT MINE!!!  I just recommend giving to the legitimate needy, and to those who are ministering to you while that ministry is in your life.  That is where the "tithe" belongs.
