Repentance and Tithing
Repentance- to turn away from. Then, Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for our remission of sins, and ye shall recieve the gift of the Holy Gost. Acts 2:38
We should all repent of our sins. When we repent, we are asking the Lord for forgiviness and telling him we want do that paticular sin anymore. We have to come to the Lord with a sincere heart. Repentance doesn't mean we will be spared sin wounds. It does mean once we repent we will be restored back to the Lords fellowship. Our joy and peace will also be restored back to us too.
Tithing- to give 10% of our income to the Lord. Everything we have belongs to the Lord. If we don't give the Lord his 10% he will find a way to get his. My experience with not tithing, has been my tires on my car. In the past month, I can say every tire has gone flat. They've all had a nail in them. This has not happened all on the same day. Just periodically through out the month. I've walked out of my house to get into my car and one or two of the tires would be flat. This is not happening ironically. This is the Lord. He works in misteries way. So, I have repented of this sin. I will tithe for now on. The Lord has been merciful to me. I thank him for loving me and teaching me.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Mathew 6:33
Woe into you, scribes and pharisees, hyporcrites! for ye pay tithes of mint and anise and cummin and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgement, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Mathew 23:23
How has the Lord taught you lessons on tithing?

Faith
Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. Psalm 71:20
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
Faith is trusting in something that is not yet seen. Its knowing God will help us through it, even though we don't know the out come of the situation. It's going and doing, even though we don't know how it will turn out. It's trusting in the Lord with all our heart and letting him guide our every step. It's giving our worries, heart break, problems to the Lord and trusting Jesus with all of them. It's an act of self control in situations we are powerless on. It's believing good will come from all situations over a matter of time. It's knowing when the world has us turned up side down, Jesus will turn us right side up. It's having a positive attitude when we really feel our world is crumbling right before our eyes. It's believing in something so much bigger than this place. It's trusting, loving, caring, hoping, praying, believing, waiting, self control, peace, submitting, obeying, strengthinging, desiring, worshipping, teaching, enduring, singing, rejoicing, forgiving, laughing, crying, smiling, weakness, confessing, kindness, compassion, deliverance, recieving, temptations, long suffering, pain, tormented, trials, tribulation. Faith is tellinging God, "I will still love you"... in our moments of doubt. I will still love you Lord in "ALL" our ways no matter what. I will still love you Lord, I will still love you, I will.
