Recognize God's Ownership and Man's Stewardship
The basis of tithing is the recognition of God's ownership and man's stewardship. The main reward of this recognition is increased spirituality. Improvement in our financial affairs is really secondary to the great closeness we feel to God as we are willing to enter into a working partnership with him. Tithing is a practical way of showing that we are obeying Jesus' teaching when he said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
In
the act of tithing we set in motion a cause/effect sequence—giving creates
a vacuum which the universe rushes in to fill with abundance. For nature abhors
a vacuum. This is an important law to keep in mind, for as we empty ourselves,
we find that we are filled anew—again and again.
Tithing frees us from worry in times of economic crisis because when we tithe we have entered into partnership with God and the ascended masters to bring God's kingdom into manifestation on earth. In tithing we exchange our fear that we shall come to want for faith in God's supply and care. When there is a downturn in the stock market or when your commission check is less than usual, that is the time to increase your prayers and affirmations of prosperity.
"Archangel Michael makes a wonderful bargain with us. He says, "You give me your doubts, your fears, your questionings, and I will give you my faith."
Saint Germain has told us that anxiety is the greatest deterrent to precipitation. Fill your mind with thoughts of abundance and thanksgiving for past blessings. Walk around the block, look up at the clouds and say, "0 God, you are so magnificent!" Sing a devotional song, take a moment to center in your heart—anything to completely change your forcefield and clear your consciousness of whatever is troubling you.
Friends of Light
Sometimes all that is necessary to successfully pass through a difficult moment of testing is to know that we have friends of light (archangels, angels, ascended masters) who are upholding us and praying for our overcoming.
"Put your trust in God and his inexhaustible supply and you will soon find abundance in your world, not only for your tithe but also for all other legitimate needs."
Archangel
Michael makes a wonderful bargain with us. He says, "You give me your
doubts, your fears, your questionings, and I will give you my faith." We
do not need to go it alone; all of heaven stands ready and willing to help
if we will only call to them to give them the authority to enter our lives
and help us.
Many of us carry a small picture of Archangel Michael in our car (you can find one in any religious supply store) and repeat the following little mantra many times a day.
As
you give these words, silently or aloud, see this glorious, powerful angel
overshadowing you with his blue-flame protection. Visualize him and his legion
of angels surrounding you in everything you do—defeating and turning back any
negative thoughts that may be assailing you.
Lord Michael before, Lord Michael behind,
Lord Michael to the right, Lord Michael to the left,
Lord Michael above, Lord Michael below,
Lord Michael, Lord Michael wherever I go!
I AM his love protecting here!
I AM his love protecting here!
I AM his love protecting here! (3x)
