Living to Give

Jesus gave life not just things Mt.20:28

Jesus gave up heaven for earth, when will you give up earth for heaven? (loosing mind for Christ’s)

Jesus with your giving mentality on the cross!

You can’t receive His life without yielding yours

Evil one cannot rob/destroy your life is you don’t have it (thieves don’t go where it’s empty)

Making history through being the ultimate giver

You cannot truly give to others what you have not given unto God

Do you only receive from God in prayer & worship? – He will give when you give it all

You cannot do impossible without seeing the invisible “living 2 give = living 4 eternity”

God is withholding from you as much as you’re withholding from Him

The amount of skittos that fall into your hand are proportional to the amount of money you put in

Loving skittos more then $.25

“…seeking…found…sold…bought…” Mt.13:45-46

“Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you” James 4:8

“…what things where gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ” Phil.3:7-8

Paying for bread with money, livestock, land & lives Gen.47:13-26

Progressively God will ask you for every part of your life so that He can become all you’ve got

You Get What You Gave

Give hurt and pain – receive pain and hurt (giving to parents & leaders = receiving in family)

“God cannot be mocked, whatever you sow you will reap…” Gal.6:7

“If you forgive men their sins your Father will also forgive you your sins” Mt.6:14-15

“Those who honor Me I will honor, those who despise Me shall be lightly despised” 1 Sam.2:30

“the Lord had done as I did” Judges 1:7

Give What You Need

“Give and it shall be given unto you…” Luke 6:38

God wanted Sons so He gave a Son John 3:16

Joseph needed interpretation of his dream so he gave interpretation to the dreams of others

“Lord restored all losses to Job when he prayed for friends…” Job 42:10

“Abraham prayed to God…and God healed Abimelech, his wife…” Gen.20:17-18

“Do to others what you want them to do to you…” Mt.7:12

Give What You Received

See yourself in your enemies – that is you – allow them to help you change – God puts you in His shoes

Freely give what you have received Mt.10:18

What ever you can’t give you don’t own. We only own what we give

Money “truck” and heart “trailer”. Where your money will go determines the target of your heart Mt.19:21

Give everyone who asks of you Mt.6:42

Sell what you have and give alms, provide yourselves money bags which are eternal Luke 12:33

It is more blessed to give than to receive Acts 20:35

Measure we give is the measure we will receive

Mary poured the costly oil on the feet of Jesus and was remembered for it
