As we operate in the law, order, and principles of God’s Word, we position ourselves to experience His best. In Malachi 3:10, God says, “and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Giving “tithes and offerings” is serious business, and I believe this is not only a practice for the Old Testament, but for the New Testament, as well as for today. 

We honor God when He is first place in our life. Sowing “tithes and offerings” is especially honorable when it is given from our first fruits and not our last fruits. Proverbs 3:9, says, “Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase:” In 1 Corinthians 14:40, it states, “Let all things be done decently and in order.” This lets us know that there is “order” expected even in our giving. 

In this book, I address whether “tithes and offerings” is a practice that should be honored today, and if so, what is the order according to God’s Word. I also discuss what I have learned through my life experiences, that has proven to me, obedience to God’s Word is far better than sacrifice. (1 Samuel 15:22)

The world and all that is within heaven and earth were first brought into existence by the spoken Word of God. We can change our situations and circumstances when we speak God’s Word in faith. One example of this is when the centurion spoke to Jesus in Matthew 8:8, saying, “LORD, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.” 

Throughout our life, we can see examples of God’s spoken Word that brought forth life to our dead situations, healing to our sick bodies, and restoration in our broken relationships. Even during some of our hardest and most difficult times of hurt, pain, disappointments, and devastation, we as children of God can testify that there is evidence where God still used something from that pain to turn it around for our good and in our favor (Romans 8:28).

In this book, God Is Speaking to You, I want readers to be open to hearing what the Spirit of the Lord is speaking to their hearts as it relates to their individual walk with God. God is always speaking to us in some way, and we want to be sensitive to recognize and know when it is the voice of God (John 10:4–5). When we spend quality time in His presence, there will be no doubt that we will be able to identify the difference between the voice of God and a stranger.

Choose you this day whom you will serve (Joshua 24:15). Every day, we are making that choice, whether we realize it or not, to live a life that reflects God or a life that reflects Satan. Whichever way we choose to live our life, at the end of that life comes death, then the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). You can believe this or not. The Word of God is faithful and true, and anyone''s disbelief of the Scriptures cannot change it or make it become untrue. It only concludes one of two things: if you are right, then you did not waste any time; but if you are wrong, then the wrath of God lieth at your door, and hell will be your final "nonresting" place.

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36)

I pose the question to you: Where do you think you will go after you die? There is a place called heaven, and there is a place called hell, and you have the choice now to decide which place you will reside for all eternity.

I hope believers who read this book will become even further assured, through the Scriptures, that they will see their loved ones again in heaven; and those who do not believe will receive the clarity they need to know that there is life after death, and the decision for where they spend eternity is their choice.
