Bible Note: 1. I have no need for any of those mountains to be moved. If I did, then I would move them. Jesus was not calling a fig tree a mountain you know. He was saying that whatever mountain you need moved, whatever obstacle you need removed, you speak to it, as he did the tree. He wasn't talking about a mountain like Mt. McKinley. But he was talking about mountains in the obstacle sense, like we say a 'mountain of debt' 2. God supernatually provided the new home, nothing changed in my paycheck or my wifes. But God loves his children, and he never lies you know. So when he said because I tithe he'd open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing so much that I can't contain it, he wasn't just lieing when he said that. And even if I had gotten a huge increase in my paycheck, that would still be God, because every perfect gift comes down from the Father of LIghts with whom is no variableness neither shadow of turniing. So God could have done it by increasing my paycheck, but he decided to just do it, and I'm thankful for how he has done it, because nobody can deny its of God. 3. The context reveals that anything you sacrifice for the Gospel's sake, wether it be relationships or finances, you will recieve a hundredfold return on that ( thats sacrificing 10 dollars and getting 1000 in return ) you will recieve that hundredfold in this current life, and you inherit eternal life in the one to come. It is Jesus speaking, and he is speaking about anyone who sacrifices these things. And yes, I praise God for what he is doing in my life. He's blessing me in every area, spiritually as well as physically and mentally. I can even testify that my wife was attacked two days ago with what the doctors say is strep throat ( spelling sorry? ) however we stayed on the Word, and what takes they say about 4 weeks to recover from, is taking no more than a couple days! Glory to God Brother! HOpe I answered your questions good enough for you. God Bless, Mitch |
