Blessed To Be A Blessing
Blessed To Be A Blessing
As I was PRAYING ABOUT what to SPEAK ON this morning The LORD IMPRESSED on my heart: That He WANTS TO TAKE THIS CHURCH HIGHER in the REALM OF FINANCES. (When I say CHURCH I mean YOU!) I BELIEVE GOD wants to RELEASE FINANCIAL BLESSING int t!is BODY. (The ONLY WAY to GET THERE is TEACH ON IT.)
Now Ive BEEN HERE for si" m nt!s (Ive #$ea%!e& '( times) Ive NEVER YET PREACHED ON MONEY. I HAVEN)T FELT THE NEED TO! o!re NOT MY SOURCE!
Now I MIGHT SURPRISE YOU HERE WE)RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT MONEY "!t WE)RE NOT * in* to TALK ABOUT GIVING!
I Thin# $ometimes: P$ea%!e$s have +e,t t!e IMPRESSION that ALL YOU NEED TO DO is GIVE IN THE OFFERING an% GOD)LL PUSH MONEY OFF A CLOUDThats not tr!e. Theres OTHER THINGS that NEED TO BE IN PLACE "efore BLESSING COMES. &'( 'N) THIN*: BEFORE GOD GIVES YOU ... Hes GOT to /e ABLE to TRUST YOU with it!
GOD)S NOT going to GIVE YOU SOMETHING That++ DESTROY YOU! AND: ,ros-erity RUINS SOME PEOPLE! Sa0s in P$ 1e$/s . ,ros-erity RUINS THE FOOL! Thats the ONLY GROUP OF PEOPLE (I /an fin%) where GOD SAYS HE WON)T 2 BLESS 3EM FINANCIALLY! (HE CAN)T BLESS A FOOL! KILL THEMSELVES WITH IT!)
(Now)
DEFINE PROSPERITY!
Now I SAID SOMETIMES weve "een LEFT WITH THE IMPRESSION ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GIVE.
