Keys to financial increase v.6 bring the tithes and offerings to the LORDS store house, his church.
The ONLY way you and I can financialy increase, is by

		Those who do not give 10% are thieves.
	The LORD is not a wellfare God, or a socialistic Government. God is an agriculturalist, You only reap what you sow.
	He can't change his Laws to suite people who don't obey it. 
	The good news is when we choose to trust the LORD and do what he says, he will open this windows of heaven and pour
	out a blessing that we will not have room to receive. It is a matter of TRUST, not luck. Luck doesn't exist.
	It is a matter of Love, and Trust for all of us.

		Put seed in the ground and watch it grow. This is the LORDs system and he wont change it for anyone

		He will multiply what you put in his hands. Give abundantly and you will get back abundantly. 
		Gen. 14:14-20 Abraham received all the spoils for winning the war of the kings in the slime pits.
		Abraham knew everything he had was from the LORD so he knew he had to give 10%. 
		When we give to the LORD he will also prosper us. It takes his spiritual Power and the Finances have to be inline with it.
		
	Malachi 4:1-2

The greatest method in human history is Church Growth has been the greatest means of kingdom growth.
	When a church grows and people are born again, they are trained up to be soul winners when they stay in the church.
	Fast and pray to bring people IN to the church so they can be DISCIPLES and brought to JESUS. Example in Book of ACTS.

Growth and Increase in Christ is necessary, there is a way it must be done, by the Book. Love through obediance.
	Choose to do what you learned from the Bible, or Not. IF you don't take notes you wont review it, if you dont
	humble your heart you wont do it. This is what God's Word says, not the Pastor. 
	
	Ask for pray for help to get to church at 9:30am on time. Also to dress for church with a suite or whatever is acceptable.
	
	In agriculture, it takes time for germination to take place. It's rare that the fruit is ready for harvest at the same
	time the seed is sown into the grown.
