knows if you buried yourself financially because of overspending. Remember, He forgave King David even after he committed murder and adultery. If you will repent from your overspending, ask for forgiveness, be obedient and give back to Him what is really His anyway and praise Him, then watch what He can do!!! 

Don’t you understand that EVERYTHING is really His and we just get to use it? So know that how you handle tithing is just a test of your obedience and trust. G-d doesn’t need your money! If you find yourself going around and around the same mountain doing do-over after do-over and are trying desperately to make ends meet, I hope you have learned enough from this course to know how to approach G-d. He is waiting and wants to bless you.

Now how do you actually tithe? Before you pay any other bill, write out your tithe back to G-d. Give it into the storehouse to support His work. Do this with faith and thanksgiving that G-d will keep His word.

Psalms 3:9,10 Honor the LORD from your wealth And from the first of all your produce; So your barns will be filled with plenty And your vats will overflow with new wine. 

Regarding tithing being just an Old Covenant thing, here’s what Yeshua said to the religious Jews in the NEW Covenant:

Matthew 23:23  "How terrible it will be for you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest part of your income, but you ignore the important things of the law – justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but you should not leave undone the more important things.

And after reading this if you are not Jewish and you are thinking that tithing is just for the Jews of old, think again. Where is the money to support your church supposed to come from? Remember, your church’s roots are Judaism, and the tithe support was for the temple and the priests so that they did no regular work, but were free to do G-d’s work.

2 Chronicles 31:4,5 In addition, He required the people in Jerusalem to bring the prescribed portion of their income to the priests and Levites, so they could devote themselves fully to the law of the LORD. The people responded immediately and generously with the first of their crops and grain, new wine, olive oil, honey, and all the produce of their fields. They brought a tithe of all they owned.

Here is what Rabbi Sha’ul said to the people in Corinth in the New Covenant:

2 Corinthians:7,8 You must each make up your own mind as to how much you should give . Don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure . For G-d loves the person who gives cheerfully .  And G-d will generously provide all you need . Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others .
