I am overwhelmed right now with this burden. So, we're talking about "Good Stewards" this week, and I want to talk a little bit about ownership and stewardship, because this is a big issue for us to understand as believers. Just try it and watch the supernatural happen. Are you following me? I want you to know that, and I want you to just try it. There's miraculous blessings that happen from heaven. When you get your finances in order, there is a supernatural blessing from heaven. I want you to hear, because see, in the same way, we do want God's supernatural blessing on our finances, so when there's an opportunity to give, sometimes we give knowing, not in a bad way, but knowing that God's gonna bless us for giving. We have testimony after testimony after testimony, here at Gateway Church, of people who have gotten their finances in order and God has supernaturally blessed them. It's not just that you got on a budget and you're spending less in this column so you have more in this column. In the very same way that God supernaturally blesses you when you give generously, in the very same way God supernaturally blesses you when you operate your finances according to biblical standards and stewardship. Here's what I want you to catch about " Beyond Blessed". But when I wrote "The Blessed Life", we've talked about when we give and I talked about all of these testimonies about how God would bless. That's not what God's trying to do in our heart. If we're giving with a selfish motive, that's not gonna bring the blessing of God. That's just all through Scripture, and it's when we give with the right heart, obviously. We're in a series called " Beyond Blessed", And, I want you to understand that this is so big and so many people miss this, and I'm trying to think of how I can say it to make the impact that I want this statement to make, all right? We know that when we give, God blesses us.
