I asked God these questions and here are the answers I received.
Question
Should I wait for the recession to end before beginning Tithing?
Answer
To end your personal recession you should begin tithing immediately. Do not delay.
Question
How Much Should I Tithe?
Answer
10%. That number is the same for everyone and thus is fair. Whether rich or poor, it is still 10%. Give generously and boldly with an attitude of gratitude and your receiving will be the same.
Question
Should My Tithe Go Only To The Church?
Answer
No. God is everywhere. Tithing is a spiritual habit that reaches outside the church. Listen to your heart and give your tithe to wherever you think God is needed. It is perfectly fine to give your tithe to the Church and equally fine to give it to a bum on the street.
Question
Is it okay to skip tithing if money is tight and it would mean bills going unpaid?
Answer
“Seek Ye First the Kingdom of Heaven and its Righteousness and all else will be given unto you.”
Matthew 6:33
The source of everything you have is God. If you truly believe that, then pay God first. Put your financial fears to rest and trust in God.
Question
Can I Tithe more than 10%?
Answer
Absolutely. The law is simple. Whatsoever ye have want of in this world - add unto it. The more you give, the more you shall receive.
Some people tithe based on what income they want to have, not what income they currently have. Those persons have mighty faith in God's law.
There are other laws in the universe besides tithing. In simple terms of manifestation - if you want a thing, give a thing. If you need money, give money. If you need love, give love.
God works through us as channels. You cannot give from emptiness and thus if you are doing Gods work, you will be given what is needed for that work.
This is important. Though you may not have enough money to tithe 10% right now - understand that God will refill your financial cup. Have faith!
Question
Is tithing any different than paying the IRS taxes?
Answer
Tithing is not a debt you owe, but a seed you sow. Tithing is working in harmony with the laws of circulation. A body of water needs to be constantly refreshed with new water - otherwise it becomes stagnant and diseased. The blood in your body is constantly being replenished. Tithing is keeping the flow of money constantly replenished.
In a way, yes it is much the same as paying the IRS taxes. But in many ways it is very different.
Question
What do I tithe if all of my money is being applied to bills?
Answer
If you gross $1000 a month - you tithe 10% of that. Remember, you pay God first. The IRS doesn't get paid before God, not even the rent.
You live off the remaining 90%.
After you have established the habit of tithing, you will find that 90% goes much farther than the 100% ever did.
Question
Do I need to be a Christian to tithe?
Answer
Not at all. The only true requirement is your belief in the laws of money. Tithing is a part of the laws of money. The belief that God created the laws of money, while helpful, is not necessary to reap the rewards that you sow.
Question
Should I attach expectations when I Tithe?
Answer
Yes!
Bet you did not expect that one!
When you give through Tithing, you should have the expectation that you are helping others in a multiple of ways. Expect that your tithing will make a difference in more ways than you can possibly imagine.
