“Look, even if the LORD should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?” Erwin van Laar, SAT-7 Canada
‘How are we robbing you?’ • Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” • Malachi 3:8-10
‘How are we robbing you?’ • Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”
“You will see it with your own eyes,” answered Elisha, “but you will not eat any of it!”
“Now there were four men with leprosy” • Fruits of the Spirit • love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control • Moral pollutions of the mind – leprosy • bitterness, lack of forgiveness, lack of faith, holding on to sin, spiritual “sores and spots”
What do we have to lose? • Who owns it all anyway? • First shall be last and the last shall be first • Rich man, you were well taken care of in your earthly life, Lazarus will be well taken care of for eternity
Miracles still happen • “We went into the Aramean camp and no one was there—not a sound of anyone—only tethered horses and donkeys, and the tents left just as they were.” • How did Billy Graham make it? • Does prayer really work?
What will be your testimony? • It happened as the man of God had said to the king: “About this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.” • The officer had said to the man of God, “Look, even if the LORD should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?” The man of God had replied, “You will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it!” • And that is exactly what happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died.
