Started begetting right right right. Uh he man, I'm thankful

about the works that you're doing in Kenyon.

Uh what really started? I believe I had been preaching

in my church and what I really want to preach

I had been preaching to a church about and one

service in particular, we was taking up an offering and

we was given to three different missionaries and Sir provided

in there, and we was fifteen dollars short. And my wife,

she she just said, hey, look, I'm not trying to

get all the way or anything, but you know, we're

about fifteen dollars short. If anybody wants to do that,

you know, if I'm gonna take it out of the

church tower, we gotta do that. Just letting you know.

We had a little sister there that didn't have a

whole lot of money.

And she stood up and her hollered out. She said,

I want to give up. I'll give fifteen dollars.

Man.

I had a man over on the side over here

But three and a half hours.

Later, hey man, we had took up over three thousand

and saved dollars and had seventeen hundred dollars promised, and

we built a church at India.

Well, praise the Lord.

I called up the missionary and I told him. I said, brother,

you ain't gonna believe this. He just had left our church.

I said, God go bless and we want to build

a church in India.

I told him the story. The Lord began to move.

He told me later, he said, brother, because of what

your church did. He said, there was either four or

maybe five other churches that build a church an Indian team,

because of your obedience to God. And he told me

later he there and he come back and was preaching

for me. And uh, he said, brother Jim, he said,

I don't know when God beginning to deal with my heart.

And I love to see God do, amen, I said,

heart really really on all day to day off and on.

I've been thinking about that and uh, you know and

Pastor preaches all this, and I defer to him any questions.

That's me. He's the man of God for this church. Amen, Malicho.

Three will a.

Man rob God.

We know about uh and we're very well acquainted if

we want. God teaches in the Word of God about

tithing and giving and money and those things in our life.

And I know this is an odd.

I'm not here, Hemil, but I just.

Can't get away from this, Amen, I'm there there. There's

many different ideas alout times, and really in his heart.

Sometimes worry a pastor. We have to we got to

preach it.

We've gotta speak to other people about giving and what

God says about it and you know, there's a lot.

Of things that happen. There's a lot of you know

that they call you greedy, and they all do all

of the things that they I say about it you.

But I just want to tell you.

I here, it's God's plan to the church. He meant

to give they went to the givers such he mean,

I don't tell you that he knew that.

Praise God. He mean, God will give you church. I said,

things tonight, y'all will stay living in help. I want

to talk to us tonight about times.

He didn't get a man.

I want to talk to you about your offerings, amen,

and what they are for and God's talks about your offerings.

Amen.

And then finally I want to talk to us about

our attitudes toward giving right and in our attitude towards giving.

And then in the Book of Lomnicus, chapter twenty seven

and verse thirty, the Bible said, listen to.

What the Lord says. First, we're talking about whose ties,

of who tithes they are? Who gets ties Levinicus twenty

seven and thirty. The Bible says, first, all the time,

it's the Lord.

That's what the Bible says. You can find it there

in Levinicus twenty seven and thirty. And if we give

our ties to the Lord, and the tithes are his ties, pymen,

and he alone the sides whose they are and what

they're useful, bright.

Please the Lord. He read numbers eighteen twenty fourteen thirty one.

The Bible said, But the ties of the children of Israel,

which they offered unto the Lord I have given.

The Bible says God said, I have given the Levites

to inherit and the Lord's making. The Moses say, speaking

to the Levis, and say, when you take of the

children of visual ties which I have given you from them,

then shall ye offer up even a tenth part of

the tide, And ye shall give of the under air,

and the priest, it is your reward for the service

in the Tibernacle of the congregation.

Hey, praise the Lord.

And if it's the Lord's times, God said, he gives

it to the men of God. Hey, man, that's God's business.

I said, that's God's business. And then listen around. And

then the Bible said again and second Caronicles. Moreover, he

commanded the people to give the portion of the priest

and the levis, and they might be encouraged in the law.

And as soon as the commander came, the children of

visual blot in the garments of the first strips of

car and all that honey, and of all the increase

of the field, and all the tithe of all things

brought they in abundantly and laid them in heats. It

has the car question the priests and the evot's concerning

the heats, and has a right. The chief priest answered

him and said, since the people began to bring the

offers into the house of the Lord, we care enough

to eat, and have left plenty for the Lord have

blessed these people, and that which has left this this

fat store, that has.

A ky commanded of their tamers in the house of

the Lord. And they brought me in the offerings and

the ties, and not so here we see ties, and

then where they go.

And but I will say this, if you are to

encourage your preacher love, be faithful in your ties. I

set me faithful in your ties and your offering.

He did not will encourage him and the Lord he

is God. Sometimes they got more versus here he remain.

In the Book of Nmi, chapter number twelve, the Bible

said also that day they offered great sacrifice. They rejoiced

before God, for God had made them rejoice with great joy,

their wives and their children's rejoice for the joy of

j Ruslims heard above off And at that time they

were appointed over the chambers for the treasures of the offerings,

for the first reason, for the tithes to gather, get

into them the portions of the law, for the priests

and the levites.

For Judah rejoice for the priest and for the.

Levites that wait. And I don't know if you rejoice

when you give your ties and offerings, but you haughted

well praise So Lord, I said, I don't know if

you rejoice, but you ought to praise God.

After thirteen the Bible set of the ties. Hey, now

he's speaking of ties. The Bible set of the ties

was commanded to be given unto the league gods. I

don't know that, Brother Jim believes that the ties belong

to the Man of God. Now I'm know, come in.

I'm in at my church. He mean now for twenty years,

and come on here.

When I first took the church, I think was getting

fifty dollars a week, I think, and we was driving

an hour and a half.

One way.

You mean, come on here.

We've done that for a couple of years. Two years,

two years, we drove an iron.

And a half fifty dollars in ties, had bought my fuel,

and by then you could buy a burger at McDonald's

for a dollar, not two nine.

He was about a dollar, thank God. And we could

buy our fuel, and we could buy a couple of

dollar sample choose. Uh, heymen, come on here, I said,

I understand up. Hey, then, I remember one day I

walked in and I said, I told my wife. I said,

I don't know if they want a preacher or not.

He I'm been here two years, fifty dollars a week,

I'm trying to do everything I can.

He be working in labor and that he then I'll

be honest with you. I had a resignation mode in

my Bible. I said, look, if they know I'm not

asking for a dollar, hollar things to ask for a

dollar and then come on here. And I got talking

to him. Up hey, he mad a little bit. It's

I don't remember how to come out.

He amen, but uh they said, oh hold on, we

was gonna give you a raise price gott.

I don't remember how it come out now, and they

give me I forget a percentage of the time. Man,

we was in Hong Kong. I think we got.

Thirteen dollars each year. God was a proven something of

my church. God, I said, God was a proving something

of my children. A little bit later, we was going

through and we was I was preaching what I'm preaching

to night. I was telling them what God said on in.

The Bible, how God said it. He an didn't even

though they were doing the percentage. And and they come

to me and they said, brother Jim, that's the word

of God. We want to do it.

And I said, well, brothers, I understand, but I understand

the finances.

Of this church, he meant, And I said, look, let's

God do it right now.

I don't think you hold I forget how all we

I don't know if we can do it right now,

he meant. So they just decided to vote and to

give us the ties.

Praise the Lord. I told him, don't do it.

And they said, well, we want to do it because

God said, you know, God, begin to do God beginning

to bless them, I said, And God begin to bless them, I.

Said, God, I'm beginning to bless them. Hey, hey man,

you know I don't know.

Your pastor here as far as all these ties and

me none of my business.

But I'm telling you from me.

Amen.

We started building this church, and I understand the burden. Heymen,

I'm working with everything I can. I'm trying to give

everything I personally can to the work of God. He

may not only in labor, but in finances. And listen

and man, what God deals with your man of God

about that ties, That's up to him.

And then that's between him and his God he made

of the blessing to God will fall.

Let you get in now.

I'm not saying you got coming.

I'm telling you right here and then it's God's de Sirah,

bless the preacher and the blessed the church.

And he's got a good thinking that brage God.

It is Anser chapter seven, right, amen, an offering. He've

been a National chapter seven. You'll see the dealings of

God upon an earthly king.

And he means, you do.

Then there's four things I'd like this to look at.

They been in National chapter seven.

In verse fourteen and sixteen, a king attacker Arison told

Esra listen to what he said, and then he began

to talk to him about the temple that is needing

to be rebuilding. He mean, I got time to go.

Into all that had.

But in verse fifteen, the king basically said, all right, idea,

s here's my offering. I'm giving an offering to the

owner the house of God. Hey, then listen, he said,

here's I'm gonna be honest with you.

He then, brother, brother Jeremy, he been my thought tonight

was not about my church. He was a my chall

friends God, hell.

Loljah, Hey, because I want to see God do so

up there for Becca, because the need.

Is here and that I can see it.

And then he said, he said, here's my offering next,

and then he told the preacher man, he said, take.

Up an offering. No. He then for the house of God.

He never listen, man, he many of you want to

know that the Bible gives the preacher matter right to

take it up. It does, said up to you, tells

us the purpose of this offering.

The purpose was so that worship can be instituted in

the Temple of God.

For the needs for worship.

Amen, listen, Amen, we don't have to pay nothing for

a sacrifice of praise. But there's the things that are needed. Amen,

that we must purchase worship right. Ain't Thirdly, the King

place trust in God's man and said in verse eighteen,

whatsoever shall.

Sing good into thee do with the rest of the

silver and the gold, do that after the will of

your God.

Amen.

I was, I was.

We We got our church, We had outreaches, We have

nursing home to the nursing home meeting, we had jail services,

we have street means.

Thank your brother.

My wife is saying, Amen, come home. Even though y'all

don't think you heard us. With that couple next to

us did praise daughter.

How the window was down A praice daughter heymen, But listen, amen,

you need to trust your man of God.

Finally, whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of

the Dog, He said the stoic from the King's treacher.

And then I'm talking about our offerings, our offerings, our offerings.

The second Chronicles twenty four and eight the Bible said,

they made a chest and set it without.

The gate of the House of the Lord, and to

bring into the Lord the.

Collection, and all the princes and the people rejoiced, and

brought hound and cast into the chest, and empty the chest,

and carried in again and gave it to such as

did the work of the service of the house of

the Lord, and hired masons and carpenter to repair and men.

The house of the Lord. Amen.

Because Josiah the King was minded to repair the house

of the Lord. He gathered the priests and the levis said,

go out, and the judd gather of all in Israel

money to repair the house of the Lordship of God.

From here to here.

And then I want to tell you this is brother Jim,

I don't believe time. Amen, Amen, we need.

I don't hear me. I believe that's offering.

Little Prince okaymen, and they took up an offering and

they paid the hard held. They didn't cut the preachers

of them right, I ain't said nothing to you.

I don't know nothing about you. Praise. I have no idea. Amen,

I'm way out here.

Praise Sie Sicon in trouble already, raise dog. Tell you man,

I don't believe you ought to cut the preacher Saturday.

Tell you man, if we see we need something dying,

let's get it done. Let's take him an offering, take

it out of her pockets up. They didn't get the

preature of.

The money here. Whatever you need having guide up and

then let's do this for God. This is in part

to us, and I feel that in these turns, it's

in part to us.

And then I'm just trying to purchase up. They ain't

greater things than happen not here.

They just get in here. I feel talking to me

about offers.

Lord.

We also made ordinances for us. This is the ten

thirty three. We also made ordinances from us. It's just

all right. I'm just a wow, preacherd hey.

We also made an ordinances for us can charge ourselves

yearly with the third part of a shekel for the.

Service of the House of our God. They said, Look,

we made a commit that we was gonna give so

much a year help men for the work of God.

Hey, I'm not telling you that's your pastor right here,

but I'm telling you that's what they did for their church.

All right, Hey man, listen well, Niamah said, Amen, this

is what they did. They give a third part of

a shekel for the service of the House of God,

for the shoe bread, for the continual meat offering, and

for the continual burnt offering of the sibbus of the

new Mans, for the set feast, for the holy things,

and for the sins.

Offerings, and for all the work of the House of

the Lord.

I'd like to propose to you tonight, if I understand

the Bible correctly.

Your offerings are needed for the work of the House

of the Praise God. Tis right off the top. Want

the man in the ministries. He may, oh, yes, key

controls now he may Now, there's nothing I don't believe

Not only do I believe tised along to God, but

I believe the offerings you give along to God.

Once you give an offering, you leaves control of God.

God.

Hey here, if I knew here.

I don't to use it for that.

I wasn't to give it less short hearty, he said,

less short.

Heart Amen, I thought you'd give it to God.

Right.

I want to say something here that made this is

this is this is not in the bottom. Okay, but

every little rich message rich the whole message on time

on things.

That ain't in the bottle.

He did again, Amen, Brother Jim believes you rob God

not only by not paying your.

Ties, right, oh God, but you rob.

God by not purposing to give to God your best,

not just what you've got left over.

Praise God.

I say you rob God by not purposing to give

God the best. Amen God, He is worth mord than

your scraps.

Call here her.

Ultimately, it is hard job to keep the church up

and running and touching him. Hey man, listen, how I

got an amazing story. And they didn't you like an illustration?

Brother, our brother give the night. Tell you well, I

got an illustration too. Praise God. It's about Wiggles. You're

bogs man.

I want to see you. I like it the holl Okay.

I pay him on the head occasionally, and uh ain't

gonna be mean to him.

Amen.

Let me tell you about Wiggles. And this boy had

a dog by the name of Wiggles.

And uh that not.

At supper time, his daddy began to notice this. He

is eating his plate at supper. Hey man, he's started noticing.

He moved the meat over to the side here the

day he thought, well, he's saying the best part for us.

He ate the rest, and then there's again to the meal.

And he saw that meat was still there and places

were fitting me. Took he said, son What are you doing.

With your meat? He said, I'm giving it to wiggles. Now.

He said, oh no, you're not. I pain't cutting money

for that meat. You're gonna eat at me boy?

Yeah, me, yes, sir.

A little while later, that.

Little boy is out there feeding wiggles and scraps. There

feeding wiggles and scraps. He is talking to his little dog.

He said. He said, I had you an offering. Heymen, Well,

i'd give you scraps, man, and sometimes we do that

in church.

God, I'm gonna give you all I gots what just

left over. Hey man, I'm gonna tell you something here.

You don't give God the first and the best.

All, you're gonna have strap. I said, oh, you're gonna

have a strap. Hey we're praising hard. Hey man.

There's some debate and then time keep plowing, just go.

There's some debate on what is the storehouse. You know,

they said, we're gonna have a storehouse playing. No, don't

tell me we go about this storehouse. I don't bring

the ties to the storehouse. There's some debate about that. Generally, though,

I have found in my experience it is greedy, controlling

individuals who try to act as if the storehouse is

the church and they decide whether.

Or not office far the preacher. Right, I'm gonna battle

just for a minute.

The storehouse is not a deacon board or a church secretary.

And I don't want to feed you in. But this,

brothers you have it's not even of the voting members

of the church. We don't vote on paying our power bills, right,

and we should not vote on whether we pay our preacher.

That's God's business.

And it seems mody clear to me and his word

he is in teaching on that man. Well, priest God,

you will unquelling.

Man. What did Jesus saying the New Testament about times?

You know? Jesus said something about it the New Teste

a man the.

Bible said in eteen twenty three and twenty three Jesus

said he pain ties.

He looked at a group of people, said you pay times.

You know what he said?

These things he opted. Jesus said gonna.

Pay what.

Hallelujah? I know didn't think Jesus he preached about it?

They did? He heard that.

My twelve and fifteen, Hey man, there was a group

pushent for cribs in Mark fifteen, a twelve and fifteen

her Pharisees and Herodians. They were wicked men that areligned

themselves with herod and Rome pertaining propheta and then personal propheta.

That was a question that they asked Christ. So they said,

hour we give or shall we not kill? Look?

Can that listen to me?

And if they looked at Jesus, I'm talking about what

Jesus said about times.

And in Christ asked her for a pen.

He remember that I tol.

And he looked at it and said, whose image or

whose images this? Whose subscription is this man? Who's is now?

And then I like to ask us tonight whose money

all those ties and offered to anybody?

I said, whose is to?

When he looked, he sent.

Render run the seesir, Look, stuff thinks out our sea.

But un the goed, I fas said by the god

that thinks that our died. I said, God, a plere tis,

Jesus said, claim.

Si he ain't. Jesus said, listen, give and it shall

be given under you.

Good measure pressed down, shake it together, and running over

shall be given to your puzzle form with the same

measures you meet with all it shall be measured to

you again Jesus hold on, give him helloah, hol only

did Jesus team on give them aout the apostles talking

about ties and office. I know some people that they

don't even see in the Bible. Ain't got no ideas

in the Bible. Office and showing you the Lord to

help me. Hey, min, it's in the Bible, the book

of Hebrews, chapter seven, verse forty five. Listen to what

the Bible said, leave God who received ties. I leave

my sorry, as you received the office of the priests

have a commandment to take tithes of the people.

According to the law. I said that new test You

know what he said in verse eight of that same

person of scripture.

And here.

Men that die received tithes Hebrews seven and eight. Look

it up market in your bible. Here men that die

received ties.

That this is the part that I like. But there,

but there he received them. That's what they said, is

looking up at their battle. Here, men that die received ties.

You pay your ties to the man of God.

And when you pay your ties to the man God,

however he arranges that it's his church. I'm not into

all that, amen, But there isn't a automatic depositor in

decendants braincase.

You're well, hey, did you hard to leave attached to

it to say that you might be paying brother hold today?

But in that and God said, I got yourn a

positive hallah tend that's right, falloray, I.

Said, I ain't got yourn std. Heaven's pray that heaven's

taking record. And now I said, heaven's taking record. Ye

never started a little little mind. Jesus are standing over

there up. The peoples are given together and together.

And I'm sad there by that. U.

My guy's a little little horn. He gives a father,

take your help. And she gathered her name, they may her.

God said, Holy, she's getting more cally. I don't know

he's saying that call. He's up the books up. Think.

God said you get going in. They all hell heyah.

And then I say, God pays a teacher, no hell

And I'm gonna try to hold us story along that

longer tonight.

By the Second Corinthians eight and twelve, the Bible said, first,

there must be a willing mind.

no like God said, you gotta be willing. And it

is according to what you've got that the supply that

God give us.

There there's no lack or no need. Well here second

could for missions. He took over his father's side business

She weighed that hundred dollars deal and shouted all the

weight to the front, and.

The people that give Grandma all that money for cleaning

knew how bad Crampon needed that money.

And God send him offering and it started.

One church there, another church it started, and they begin

to build a church.

And then my burden right here tonight, y'all have given

an amen. But I want to tell you that God

would love I don't know the burden. I just kind

of felt a nudge. I said it. I off to

your passion. I ain't said. It's not his fault. I

preached it. It's all brother you. But in my heart

today I can see the church going up. And how

about you? This is said some things in your mind. Guys,

God's gonna give you my My church does give us

so many miracles, so many I can't even begin to

tell you. Can't let me give it. Take an hour's brother.

I told him about how today I've got a little

I got nine grandkids on the way, seven and under.

That's a handful, hear me. I'm gonna a little while.

I told him one time, if you had to get

big and fat you wanna have.

You don't want to do that.

I was. My daughter called me up one day. We

giving everything to that. And uh, she said, you don't

to be excited about what Stephen said. I said, what's that.

us miracles.

Like the miracle, not the miracles. I say, you can

see that for yourself. She said, you remember read what

Steve I said, what he say?
