During bible study the other night Saundra read aloud verses from Proverbs the third chapter and my attention was drawn to verses 9 and 10:  ⁹   "Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:  ¹⁰   So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine."   (KJV)  As I was memorizing these verses I began to get excited.  I thought about them as I went to bed.  I was awaken for prayer about four thirty the next morning.  As I began to pray in the spirit these scriptures began to come back to my mind.  I got my bible and began to read as I was praying.  " Honor the Lord with thy substance,"   Honor:  giving praises and glory to God.  Substance is faith.  Faith is what you hear from God; what you say that God has said; and what you do based on what God has said about you; being that you are the product of your speaking.  So I began to give God honor by speaking what God had said in His word:  " Give and it shall be given to me, God will not do without a cheerful giver, cast your bread on the waters, He has stopped the devourer for my sake, He has opened the window of heaven and poured me out a blessing that I do not have room enough to receive, my old money never runs out before my new money comes in, nations shall call me blessed and I am a delightsome land."   Saying what God has written began to come alive in my heart; I was honoring God with my substance.  " And with the firstfruits of all thine increase:" the firstfruits are your first new monies, raises, promotions and increase in your revelations received from God.  As I prepared to give tithes and offerings I meditated on these words that I was speaking and excitement began to build.  I knew that something was happening in me.  The thought came as I was writing a check that I was pleasing God.  This is my reason for being.  God was pleased with me. Understanding this makes giving easy. Giving became a joy. "So shall thine barns be filled with plenty," God said to me the barn is the place where you store your goods until you need them.  Like putting your money into the bank and taking it out when you need it.  So I used the word barn to mean banking; a place where you store to be used as needed.  "and thy presses shall burst out with new wine." God said to me, the presses are the places where you invest your money for increases: IRA, saving, bonds, etc. When this is done by faith, the Spirit of God (new wine) gets involved and causes the increase.

       After receiving this revelation, I began to seek God for the time to release this message to the body.  In church Sunday, after Morning Prayer, the apostle began to tell us that God is preparing his people for what is going to happen to the banking system.  In the year 2003 the banking systems will began to fail.  I knew that this was the time to bring forth the above message.  The body of Christ will always be able to stand because we always keep God's word and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.  I pray that you will receive revelation and act on this word.
