Deuterony 8v6 - the land of flow
2 Corinthians 9:8-9 - AMPC And God is able to make all grace (every favor andearthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the needbe self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]. As it is written, He [the benevolent person] scatters abroad; He gives to the poor; His deeds of justice and goodness and kindness and benevolence will go on and ==endure forever!==
Deuteronomy 6:3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Seed time and harvest.
- Always around - always works
- The Word is the Seed - once sown it produces results
- Your character is a seed - fruit of the spirit - against such there is no law
- Finances are also seed - Giving and receiving is financial seedtime and harvest
Understand the law of flow. A land flowing with milk and honey. Generous giver opens up the flow of grace and favour
2 Corinthians 9:6-8 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
Our promised land becomes a promised person in Jesus. He is our New Testament flow. The Holy Spirit is our flowing milk and honey.
A tithing people are a protected people.
A tithing church - its fruit and results are protected.
Malachi 3:11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
The fruit is protected as the devourer is rebuked. The devourer is resisted and flees as you submit to God.
His principles work when submitted to.
Isaiah 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Willing and obedient

- Obedience protects you
- Willingness propels you
Speak with Revelation

To receive a greater capacity from God CULTIVATE a lifestyle of thanksgiving.
Actively be involved with the Word.
