♕ Today's Promise: “‘Bring the whole tithe into the STOREHOUSE, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. THEN I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it may not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes,’ says the Lord of hosts.” Malachi 3:10–11

"I honor the Lord with my substance and the first fruits of my increase. My barns are filled with plenty, and my presses burst forth with new wine." Proverbs 3:9-10
My HH (Heavenly Husband) has supplied all of my needs and more than I can possibly imagine. Its been a struggle as many of you know here. I have had to work more in order to make ends meet and pay bills and rent. Every single amount of money that comes in I tithe 10% as I am seeing the remarkable benefits and I trust fully that the "Lord rebukes the devourer for my sake."
Since my EH (earthly husband) and I live in different places in a big city I do a lot of commuting with my children around the city and to there activities. Thankfully I have a new to me car, but recently the steering wheel was shaking and I knew I better take it in to get looked at (my EH used to take care of all of this). I did not ask him but took care of it myself. I took it in and when the mechanic called me the bill was HUGE! I began to have major fear of how I would pay for all my needs and not ask my EH (earthly husband) for help. I spoke to the mechanic and asked him how he could work with me. He was very kind and understood. He was able to get all the work done needed and new tires (as winter in northern Canada can be very dangerous). I was able to get everything needed to get done for 1928$ which I will tell you ladies this is an enormous amount of money for me!!! But I prayed and prayed and read scripture aloud for days and asked God to have favour on me.
Well a week before that I had a check being returned to me, but just thought "oh good I will have extra." Nope, God knew and then I had picked up an extra shift as I have been praying for more work so God can provide for me, and He did.
I was able to pay for everything with the money coming in and TITHE 10% and not ask for help from anyone. I also am able to sit with my finances and have enough to pay rent and bills at the end of the month.
One of the biggest causes of division between my EH (earthly husband) and I was our finances. I was never on the same page with him and would put so much stress on him because I would not know what bills needed to be paid and I would irresponsibly spend money we did not have to spend. The LORD is healing me of this! PRAISE GOD! I have been put in a position that I have to know exactly what is coming out and be responsible to pay for everything on my own!
I firmly believe that because I tithe my "first fruits," God has favour on me and provided the money to come in when I needed it, for my repairs!! Thank you RYM for your amazing teaching and wisdom.
