Help needed to heal my guilt of giving.

YES AMEN!! :iagree:

  Some are already bowing the knee and confessing the Lord    in my opinion ,,,,, in prayer and  secret     

  I know exactly what you mean  , those who still believe in eternal torment  , do not understand  that eternal is the life span of a human being [however short or long it is before a change happened]    comparing  a caterpillar to the butterfly ....
  It was formed as being  one thing , but ultimately become   complete as a butterfly ...

  Many  cannot  see  past   that ''present '' condition ...  and as sad as it is to say  ,  they are  still  trapped  in a mindset that is carnal still ,  the Lord is Spiritual and whan you begin to see Spiritually    you like the butterfly can  fly  and see far above and beyond the present   condition ...

  Its is the Lord  and He is   AMAZING   , GLORY TO HIM     from now on  without an end ,,,   :HeartThrob:

thank you Cardinal I have done a fair bit on the tithe as I too was so worried I was not giving enough. Its surprising how few know the truth and even if they here it they still refuse to believe it and pay their tithe. I read a lot of the tithe being up to 20% due to all the other parts ect but not read so much on the 3 levels as you have pointed out so I have learnt something else today. I really like the way God revieled  to you how you had been tithing all along how great is that! :thumbsup:

Well, this is where I was at when He told me this. I was having a bible study once a week with someone and provided food for the guests (substance), and was staying up till sometimes 3 in the morning praying for everyone that came (time and gifts of the Spirit) . Plus we were available to pray with anyone that came by any day of the week, and I was studying in my free time. So according to His wisdom, I WAS tithing and had been since I met Him, I  just didn't know it.

I later learned that a good rule of thumb is this; if someone makes you feel a spirit of condemnation it's usually not the Spirit of God, because He corrects but doesn't condemn and you can feel the difference. Blessings....

Amen Cardinal,  :thumbsup: :iagree:

correction is from above, condemnation is from below :dsunny:

He raises us into the light of correction whereas we ourselves can lower ourselves into the darkness of condemnation ..... just as those who wandered in the wilderness someone is always trying to get us to return to bondage

 :cloud9: Ain't it the truth....we're our own worst enemy.... :thumbsup:

[marie glen]

 :thumbsup: Amen to Cardinal's post as well! That is right on..!

[jugghead]

It is another one of the things I see in the second day of creation, IOW ..... what takes place inside of us ..... the separation of correction (waters above) from condemnation (waters below).

It is HIS "FINISHED WORK" in us

 :cloud9: That's good, I see that.  :thumbsup: Blessings....
