BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAY
JESUS IS LIFE
AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU...
First of all, Malachi 3:10 teaches: “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord 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.”
Then the Lord promises, “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 Lord of hosts” (verse 11).
SEVEN PROMISES
In the next verse, the Lord gives us this most remarkable promise: “And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts” (verse 12). 
In this noteworthy portion of Scripture, we find the Lord’s command to bring “all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house.” The Lord clearly tells every believer that the tithe belongs to Him and His work.
The Lord even challenges us to test Him: “Prove me now herewith” (verse 10). This is the only time in Scripture that the Lord makes that offer. That is one of the most amazing invitations we have ever been given by the Lord Himself; that we, as God’s people, can prove Him in this matter.
Following His challenge in Malachi 3:10, He then begins to give us the seven most amazing blessings of the tithe:
- “If I will not open you the windows of heaven” (verse 10). The windows of heaven always deal with revival. The Lord promises to revive every person who obeys Him.
- “And pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it” (verse 10). Think about it! God Almighty declares clearly in His Word that the tither will be prosperous—so prosperous, in fact, that there will not be room enough to receive the prosperity and blessings God has in store for the one who obeys Him.
- “I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes” (verse 11). Years ago when I taught on this subject in Orlando, I discovered that rebuke, to my amazement, means “to cripple” or “to paralyze.” God Almighty will actually cripple the enemy on your behalf when you tithe. The tithe is so important to the Lord that He promises to paralyze and cripple the enemy so that he will not be able to touch your life! Remember, the Lord said to prove Him. These things will happen, for this is the Word of the Lord!
- “He shall not destroy the fruits of your ground” (verse 11). This means that the enemy, whom God has crippled on your behalf, will not be able to touch your finances. The “fruits of your ground” refers to your money. The enemy will not be able to touch your money as a result of your obedience to the Lord in the tithe.
- “Neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts” (verse 11). It is remarkable that in John 15:5, Jesus said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches.” The vine, therefore, means the family, and God gives this amazing promise to the tither when He says that the enemy will not touch your family, if you obey the Lord.
- “All nations shall call you blessed” (verse 12). In this most amazing blessing and promise, God will bless and prosper you so that the nations of the world will see the blessings of God upon you. In other words, you will be a mighty witness of the power and blessings of God.
- “Ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts” (verse 12). Delightsome means “highly desired.” As you obey the Lord with the tithe, God will so highly desire you that He will use you.
These seven most amazing blessings of the tithe can be summarized:
- You will have revival.
- You will experience great prosperity.
- The enemy will be crippled and will not touch your life.
- Your finances will be safe.
- Your family will be safe from the hand of the enemy.
- You will be a great witness of the power and blessings of the Lord to the nations.
- You will be highly desired, and God will use you for His glory!
Receive Your DOUBLE PORTION Blessing!
You are blessed to be a blessing—God said it in Genesis 12:2: "I will bless you ... and you will be a blessing."
It isn't one or the other ... it's BOTH! In God's economy, what you make happen for others, God makes happen for you. When you bless someone else, God blesses you. When you Sow a Seed into His supernatural work, God bestows a supernatural Harvest on YOU!
One of seven special blessings in Joel 2 that God wants to provide for you is financial prosperity. "The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil" (v. 24). And yet that's just one of seven blessings.
So as you Sow your best possible Seed gift into God's Kingdom through the Good Ground of Inspiration Ministries today, Barbara and I are going to believe for a DOUBLE portion of God's blessing in your life ... just as God promised in Joel 2.
A DOUBLE Blessing is yours! It’s coming … it’s God’s promise to those who live in an obedient Covenant Relationship with Him. Whether you need forgiveness, God’s healing touch, a financial breakthrough, victory over the enemy, or a relationship to be reconciled … it can be yours! Let it happen.
In fact, there are seven special blessings in Joel 2 that the Lord wants to provide for His people:
- A double portion.“He will cause the rain to come down for you — the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month,” Joel 2:23 declares. The two periods of rain were usually separated by many months; but God wants to give you a double blessing during the Feast of Tabernacles — so you can receive both of these outpourings of provision “in the first month.”
- Financial prosperity.“The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil” (v. 24).
- Restoration.“I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten”
(v. 25)
- Special miracles.“You shall ... praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you” (v. 26) ... and "I will show wonders” (v. 30).
- God’s Presence and favor.“You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel ... My people shall never be put to shame” (v. 27).
- Blessings for your sons and daughters.“Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy ... your young men shall see visions” (v. 28).
- Deliverance.“Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be delivered”
(v. 32).
But when it's a seed planted in obedience to God's command, the dry ground and circumstances of famine mean nothing, because He will bless you!
It happened to Isaac in the Old Testament. In a dry season (a famine due to months without rain), God promised Isaac that if he sowed a seed he would experience an abundant harvest.
In Genesis 26:12 (NKJV), we read that Isaac obeyed God: "Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him."
He sowed the last of his seed into land that looked, to the human eye, so dry and parched that NOTHING could take root there...
...and the Bible says his harvest was 100 TIMES what he planted!!!
GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU
Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and
you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be
forgiven.
Give, and it shall be given to you, good measure, pressed
down, shaken together, and running over will be put into
your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it
will be measured back to you. Luke 6:36
CREATING THE BLESSING
Bring all the tithes, into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and prove 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
