TO GIVE AND BE GIVEN – LESSON 4
THE TITHE – PART 2 – THE LAW
Yesterday we wrote of Abraham’s tithe given to God’s high priest Melchizedek, an early incarnate manifestation of Yeshuah (Jesus). Today we look at the law of God given to Moses called the Mosaic Law, or simply “the law.”
Israel’s tribe of Levi was separated on purpose from the other tribes. They received no land like the other tribes received. They were set apart for priestly functions. They took care of the tabernacle/temple. With no land, they could have no crops, no herds, and no way to sustain themselves in the normal ways of life and support. So, how did they live?
All the people of the other tribes were commanded to bring their tithe, the tenth part of all their resources to the house of God. This tithe supported the Levitical priesthood and the needs of the house of God. Exodus 18:21 says, “Behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth (tithe) in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.” Verse 22 adds, “…it shall be a statute (a law) forever throughout your generations…” The command for the tithe to support God’s work is a never-ending instruction of God; it is God’s portion to advance His works.
The Levites were also instructed to give a tithe of their own from what they received from the people. Yes, they had to tithe from the tithe which they received.
Exodus 18:26 says it. Thus, speak unto the Levites and say unto them, ‘When ye take…the tithe I have given you…then shall ye offer up a heave-offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.’” The people’s tithe came to the Levites for their support and service, but they in turn took a tithe (a tenth) of that and gave it as an offering directly to God.
Leviticus 27:30-34 lets us know that we are to tithe on everything that comes to us. For Israel that meant even the very seed, which is sown in the ground, the harvest from the ground, the animals born to the flocks, or anything that came into their possession. Verse 31 says that if a man were to “redeem” (withhold for his own use) the tithe, then he must add an additional twenty percent to it when it is given.
The twelve tribes of Israel (Joseph was split into two tribes) were scattered about in Canaan. This meant it could be a long journey to the “tabernacle of the congregation” to give the tithe, especially when you had to drive animals there to be given. God made allowance for this; they did not have to go there with the tithe every year. They could save it up and take it every third year. All the increase from the three-year period would determine the tithe to be taken. This is written in Deuteronomy 26:12.
The tithe still belongs to God today. This is the primary support for His work on earth through His church. Offerings are to be added over and above it, often designated for specific purposes or organizations.
Tomorrow we will go to the New Testament to see what Jesus said about it and Paul’s comments.

THIS IS A TEST – ONLY A TEST
Many times God gives us an assignment and we do not understand it. It doesn’t make any “earthly” sense. We question whether it is God that spoke to us, or if it was our own imagination.
In the natural there is no way that the assignment could ever be completed. There are no funds, there is no energy, and there is no help. This is when we know that God is our only source.
If we knew everything in advance it would not require faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God, so we have to be put into positions to see what we will do without any help but God. After we come through the “test” and conquer the mountain, so to speak, we will have a mountaintop experience. We will be full of joy and contentment.
That is when a new test will come. Remember, Jesus was led into the wilderness immediately after the Spirit descended upon him and the Father Spoke. We will never grow without tests. Our faith must be stretched to become all that God wants us to be.
Many times, we resist the test and have to take it over and over again. When storms come, we must often drop sail, and go with the wind in order not to be shipwrecked. We will never be without God my friends, even in the storms when it seems quiet and we don’t hear anything—remember he is there! Never doubt this.
He wants you to become stronger and stronger, but just like muscles need intense exercise to become strong, so does our faith. Never doubt God! If he has called you to do something he will make a way for it to happen. It may not be in our timing, but it will surely come to pass. Don’t quit! Never give up! God will rescue you if you fail and give you another chance when you repent.
He has a plan for you that is good though you may not see it now, but I can attest that you were chosen for such a time as this!

PROPHETIC WORD
5-18-2020
Just as water falling upon the earth through a refreshing rain brings new life, I shall bring water to your dry and weary soul. For you have labored and yielded yourself to me and have pressed through, saith the Lord. For I am refreshing you now with the well spring of life. Shall you not taste it on your tongue and know that I am refreshing you? For the hours ahead will require the refreshing more than ever. Come aside and let me water your full self. Your spirit, your soul, your body. For you are weary, and you must take this time to be refreshed. The wounds and scars are many. Come unto me my beloved and let me tend to those wounds and let them be healed saith the Lord. For in the hour ahead you will need more strength than ever to continue in the call I have laid before you. I will show you the path, but only one step at a time. For the days ahead as are of the old ones that wrote of this time. For surely they are here and I will bring you through. You have been chosen for this hour, for such a time as this, for you are called to be light in a world of darkness. Do not try to question the assignment or the reason of your call. Know that you were born for and raised up for this hour. It is surely not a mistake that you were born for this hour, for I know the thoughts I have towards for you, and am acquainted with them saith the Lord, and I know the thoughts you have towards me and am acquainted with them, saith the Lord. For I am equipping you for this hour in a way that will bring many to light and repel darkness. Yet in this time, you must surely come and be refreshed often so you can withstand the attacks of the enemy. There is a tightening of the cord of the enemy and he would like to trap you and take you down, but I have withstood him and will not allow you to go through more than you can bear. I have removed obstacles and persons out of your path so that you can press through. You would surely wonder why they are gone, but I would say do not dwell on what isn’t here, dwell on me, who is here. For I am with you and I will guide you and I will lead you to victory. For in this hour mighty warriors are being raised up to fight off the conflicts ahead, saith the Lord. You are not alone in this battle. You are not alone. For there is a remnant that has been chosen for this hour, and you are part of it, saith the Lord. So now come apart and be refreshed and get your next assignment for I would talk to you in this hour, saith the Lord. Come now and hear what I would say, saith the Lord. Come and be refreshed.

EXHORTATION
The truth is...We all experience storms in our life at times. Oh, but the key to it all is to make sure that you have Jesus on board the ship of your life. In doing so, you will not only get TO the storm; But you will be able to get all the way THROUGH the storm. Don’t you ever forget that Jesus is the only one who can and... He will calm the troubled waters of your soul. So hold onto to Jesus and ride out the storm.. He will keep you safe till the storm passes by. Yes, even when you feel like you’re going under...Just remember that Jesus, the Peace Speaker, the Master of the wind, the rain and the storm is onboard with you; And soon this too shall pass.
