When we obeyed the procedure for redemption, we got redeemed. There is a protocol. If we aren't prospering, it isn't God's fault. Any time we are involved in prosperity it has to be done in faith, not in fear. We have to aggressively study what God's Word says about money, prosperity, and abundance. Satan is out to interfere with it. But we can overcome him.
The church has been taught that God is in control, and if we aren't prospering, it is because God is keeping it from us. Not true! Those who believe this way don't want to challenge God, and so they never prosper. “Just get by” is a procedure that man wrote, not God, and it doesn't work.
You can prevent a lot of things when you get ahead with the help of the Holy Ghost. Eliminate “I can't” from your vocabulary. God can't override that statement. God said all things are possible to him who believes. He manifests Himself in impossible situations. Exercise faith for what you can't see. If you develop your faith, nothing will be impossible for you to see. It won't be seen naturally. But you'll see it because you'll know it. Your “knower” will be engaged.
The tithing and offering scripture in Malachi 3 has nothing to do with the law. This is the doorway. It's 10% and it belongs to God. When we tithe, there is something attached to it for us. The longer you hold onto God's part, the more tempting it is to keep it. Tithing is a doorway of blessing to mankind and it is valid in all dispensations. The tithes open the windows of heaven. What comes out of the windows is based on your offering. One of the majority of things in life that has an emotional attachment to it is money. It is difficult to function in faith when you are emotionally tied to it. Faith is beyond feelings.
Before there is any kind of break through there is always major push back. The woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5 had to get down on her hands and knees to get to Jesus' hem. No pride could be involved. She was at the point of major break through in her life and is faced with a major conflict - the crowd, and Jairus who could have her killed for being out in public.
When you start moving in faith into the financial arena, you are going to get some major conflict to try to stop you. Because satan is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4). When you decide nothing can stop you, you will defeat it, and you will enter into God's abundance and zoe life (the God-kind of life) because it is yours. God wants you to have abundance according to John 10:10. But you have to follow the protocol. You have to press through. You have to decide: “I don't care what the conflict is, I'm going to win. This is not going to stop me. I'm a winner.”
