DESIRE KNOWS NO PRESSURE, TITHE DOES

DESIRE KNOWS NO PRESSURE, TITHE DOES

Real desire whether for good or bad, always pulls and never pushes. Desire and drawing power leap frog each other, when desire increases, the pulling power increases, until finally action is taken. The smell of food creates a desire for it, as the desire increases the urge to get up from the sofa increases. A little more smell, adds to the desire and then the drawing power becomes strong enough to pull you from the sofa and into the kitchen, hence the desire is satisfied.

Religion does not smell good or taste good and therefore does not create desire. Religious leaders have strong egos that must be stroked. Religious leaders have bills that must be payed. So if religious leaders have these needs and religion cannot create desire, they must forget the drawing power of desire and apply the pressure of condemnation on the people. Using this pressure they force their followers to become religious, in order to stroke their egos and pay their bills. They say, if you don't give 10% of your income to them, then I can't bless you.

Most of the people I blessed, were outcasts and were not allowed or even bothered going to the temple, much less pay tithe. Religious leaders neglect to tell you that tithe was old covenant under law. Since when, under the new covenant, did I ever ask for ten percent of anything. I'm sorry, but under grace, ten percent is not acceptable. Here's the way it is now, ... "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. [24] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it." Luke 9:23-24 (KJV)

I'm not interested in your ten, twenty, fifty or ninety percent. It's all or nothing. As a matter of fact "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father and mother in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God and likewise his wife and children and brothers and sisters--yes and even his own life also--he cannot be My disciple.Luke 14:26 (AMP) Under the old covenant tithe was a must, under the new covenant it's lukewarm commitment.

While I am at it, let Me tell you a little about religious leaders; they "sit on Moses seat of authority. [3] ...they preach, but do not practice. (they tell you to live by faith, but that their ministry will shut down if you don't give to them) [4] They tie up heavy loads, hard to bear, and place them on men's shoulders, but they themselves will not lift a finger to help bear them. [5] They do all their works to be seen of men; for they make wide their phylacteries and (they make sure you see their diplomas, degrees, and PHDs on the wall) ... [6] And they take pleasure in and thus love their place of honor (on the platform) at (conferences) and the best seats in the (convention centers), [7] And to be greeted with honor in the marketplaces and to have people introduce them as Reverend." Matthew 23:2-7 (AMP)

You that are married, if you love your spouse with ten percent of your heart, and give them ten percent of your time and attention, and keep ninety percent of your income for yourself, your only 10% united in marriage, and you do not love your spouse. If you desire your spouse there's no need for anyone to push you to be with them or to give to them. The more you think of them, the more your desire pulls you toward them. You will travel hundreds of miles in horrible weather to be close to them, because desire has reached the point of activating your whole being to move against the elements, to satisfy your longing heart.

Now here's My point; if you have to be begged to wait on Me, to meet with other believers and learn of Me, to lift your hands in worship to Me, to thank Me, to obey Me, to live holy before Me, or to squeeze out 10 % of your precious money, then you really don't have any desire for Me, My Father or My kingdom. You will be very much at home under the pressure of a religious leader, serving under the pressure of duty, rather than faking it and acting as if you desire Me.

Don't fret, the sheep that are My own, hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me. (they have gladly given Me everything) [28] And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed. And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand. [29] My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all else; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father''s hand." John 10:27-29 (AMP)

All those who serve Me out of duty I really never knew, they only "draw near Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts hold off and are far away from Me." Matthew 15:8 (AMP) However My sheep are under no pressure to give, to worship or love Me, because they have a burning desire for Me, and desire knows no pressure, because it draws.
