How to receive from God. Malachi 38-11, We are looking at a curse from God because of disobedience to the ordnance of God to bring tithes and offerings into the House of God. These are two separate things. One the tithes are specific of 10 present per the days of Melchisedec king of Salem. This is a commandment and not a suggestion. The second is offerings above the tithes in which your financial blessings come from. the blessing of financial aid comes not from your tithes but from the offering. Some people make the mistake here. Now if you go a little further in verse 11, this is the reason a lot of poor Christians are poor. The devourer, which means to eat, is eating their financial aid. God is the only one who can rebuke him and stop the consumption of blessings. The devourer is a demonic spirit that tries to keep Christians poor. After the congregations does what God demands in verses 7-10, then they can ask God to deliver them from the one in verse 11. They must hold their faith and start praising God and thanking Him before the blessing arrives to show their total faith in God. Don't wait until the blessing arrives but worship and praise Him Before. Here are five points that we need to look at; 1.Family Welfare 1.Order in the family , 2.Knowing your position in your family., 3. Duty in the family., 4.Honor of the Family., 5. Respect in the Family 2.Healing 1. Faith., 2. Trust., 3. Belief., 4. Regeneration., 5. Submission 3.Prosperity 1.Seeking God First., 2. Prayer., 3. Leadership., 4. Responsibility., 5. Duty. 4. Worship 1.From the Heart., 2.With the spirit and not with just words., 3.By lifting up Holy Hands, free of guilt., 4. With Honesty., 5. With Love. 5. Salvation 1. Release., 2.Rejoice., 3. Reflection., 4.Resolve., 5. Reverence. Many have asked the question, How can I receive from God? the above points are a start. You have to remember to trust God. Jesus said, that the Father knows the things that you need before you ask of Him. Thats the reason He gave us, what we call the Lords prayer. Receiving from God requires all the above and more. Seeking the Kingdom of Heaven first and all these things shall be added unto you. Thats a promise. Remember that we are not under law but grace. In Hebrews 7:12 lets read, For the Priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. For there is verily a dis annulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. So what does this mean to us? It means that we have a better covenant threw Jesus. All things have passed away, behold all things become new. One thing that you have to remember, when God blesses you, think more of the one who blessed you than that of the blessing. Lets look at 1Timothy 6:17 , Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy. Receiving from the new law and not from the old, which is fulfilled in Christ Jesus. But we also have to remember the warnings from God about the blessing after it comes, look at Hebrews 6:5-11 as a guide to righteousness. God wants us to follow 1.Righteousness Doing things the right way. 2.Godliness.........Following His example. 3. Faith................Trusting in His word. 4. Love.................of the heart and not of the mind. 5. Patience.............waiting upon the will of the Lord. 6. meekness...........not being high minded after the blessings come. We can also add, fasting and prayer to receive the results that are, necessary, in our lives. So what do you think, do you have what it takes to receive from the Lord, or are you lacking? Look within your self and follow the example that Jesus set and see how great a blessing that the Father will pour out upon you, give and ye shall receive. Knock and it shall be opened, seek and ye shall find, ask and it shall be given. Are you ready to receive, are you ready to give, are you ready to rejoice? I pray that you are. Without useing our faith, we can receive nothing. ars
