Hi, every blessing to you and all the Saints there with you.

Thank you for your web site, we were set free, since then the Word of God has given us so many Scriptures and my friend has written a booklet. It is our belief that it is our Lord has given us the responsibility as Prophets to speak the truth and set the prisoners FREE.

The Tithe

In Malachi 3:10 Bring all the tithes into the store house, that there may be food in My house (isn't it strange that God no longer has a house (building) because He allowed it to be destroyed and born again Christians are His house now, so I fail to see how we can do this) and test Me on this (in Matthew Jesus said you do not put the Lord your God to the test) if I will not open the flood gates of heaven and pour out all the blessings you need (people who tithe do not this is lack of faith and they think that they have to bribe God to get the blessing they already get through Abraham and his Seed),

In Malachi 3:11 and I will rebuke the devourer for your sake (isn't it strange that most people who tithe have serious financial problems and have to go forward for prayer and have the devourer rebuked in the Name of Jesus. Is God a liar? No!  The answer is in Galatians 5:4. If you try to be made right with God through the law, your life with Christ is over. You have left God's grace.

Isn't it a shame that our brothers and sisters get drawn into this situation, (we have been there but praise God He set us FREE) where they have divorced them selves from Christ and prostituted them selves with a law they have been set free from (Gentiles were never under this or any law we are free in Christ, set free by His Precious Blood) and have to ask Jesus to rebuke the devourer who they have deserted. We never hear the pastor or who ever ask them if they are tithing and set them free from the curse of the law and bring them back to Jesus.

Those who preach the tithe say that they are being blessed, but we know that the devil can bless.

The Israelites in the Old Testament saw that other peoples living near by were getting blessed better than them because they found it almost impossible to keep the 613 written and oral law so they started to worship these foreign god so that they would get bless, especially as they were farmers.

Jesus was born under the law, did He tithe, keep the Sabbath or any of the law's? yet He fulfilled the law and nailed it on the cross, it is finished. If tithing was in any way important then Jesus would have tithed and kept the law. Jesus fulfilled all the law by LOVE.

It is wonderful when we are able to set Christians free who have financial problems and to know that they will be blessed and see them come in blessings from our Lord and Savior.

Please keep up the good work and we hope and pray that the truth of this tithing lie will spread through the Body of Christ like leaven, yeast. I hope this is in some way helpful to you.

With love in Christ Jesus,
