“proving”

When it comes to Faith Promise giving, it’s all about “proving” or keeping our word. (2Co 9:7) “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give;…” Giving after one has promised to give, is proof of one’s commitment. Faith Promise is making a financial commitment to give knowing that God will provide for us if we give. In other words our faith is tested every time we give. It’s one thing to vow, but it’s another thing to keep one’s vow when things get tight. If we will just learn to give first, God is obligated by His Word to provide every time back to us. Faith always precedes God responding. (Lu 6:38) says, “Give, and it shall be given unto you;” There is only one person to blame if your needs are not being met, and that’s You! God does not lie or make false claims in His Word. If He says He will take care of us, than He will, and when He does you’ll know it. (2Co 9:8) “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:” So which will it be, will this year be a year of fear and doubt, or a year of faith and miracles. We can’t have it both ways. So practice faith promise, & watch God provide!
