A Word.

God gave me a word for the L.A. team this past week. So in the meeting I'm going to share it. But it was basically that we're not giving God what He deserves. Imagine one of your friends asking you for 200$, and you give it to them, but the deal was that they had to pay it all back, or atleast give back 10% of the money you gave them. Then months, even years go by. You're still waiting for your 200 dollars back, but would be so pleased with just the 10 percent. It never comes though. You never get it. Then you see your friend and they ask you for 500 dollars... You're not going to want to give it to them at all because they never even gave back the 20 dollars the first time.

What I'm saying is basically that unless we give God what he deserves, He wont give us what we don't deserve. Cause we don't deserve the money to go to L.A., but God will give it to us anyways. As long as we still tithe. Just because we are using our money for a mission trip doesn't mean that we can let the offering bucket pass by. In the bible it never said to give God ten percent, UNLESS were using it for a good purpose. I was praying and asking God why we didn't have our money cause we are all called to go on this trip. And He basically told me that we aren't getting enough because we aren't giving enough... Done&Done.
