Activating the Return on Your
Tithe…
Learning to Open the Windows of
Heaven…
Scripture Refs: Deut. 26, Heb. 7:1-8, Heb 3:1, Psa. 105:37,
Zech.8:12, Gen. 26:12-14, 27:27-29, Isa. 45:1-6

What Do You Think About
When You Tithe?
 Do you have a clear focus and intent for your giving?
 Do you have a clear focus, understanding and
expectation for your Return?
 Or, are your thoughts focused on what you don’t
have?
2
What Do You Believe When
You Tithe?
 Do you actually choose to Believe that things will
get better for you and your family…
Or Are You Left Just
‘Hoping’ That They
Will Some How…
3
Finally, What Do You ‘Say’
When You Tithe?
 Did You Know That The Bible Actually Requires
You To ‘Say’ Something When You Tithe?
– Deuteronomy Chapter 26 lays out a Basic pattern for
us to use in Tithing, and viewing it in light of the New
Testament, we can follow these Principles and apply
them in our lives and activate and receive the
Abundance of it in our lives—today…
4
The Bible Says That We Have
a High Priest…
 Heb. 3:1: Let us consider, Jesus the Apostle and
High Priest of Our Profession…*
 What is the ‘job’ of a High Priest?
 The job of a High Priest is to worship God, and
specifically worship God with the ‘Sacrifices and
Offerings’ of the People.
*From the Grk word ‘Homologia’, and it means
‘Confession’, to ‘say the same thing as’, the Lord, the
Father, the Holy Spirit, and The Word.
5
The Lord Jesus’ Job as High Priest is to
Worship The Father with Your Tithe and
Your Words About Your Tithe…
 Deut. 26:3 “…And thou shalt go unto the priest that
shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess
this day unto the LORD thy God…”
 So, again, what are you thinking, saying, and
Believing when you ‘Tithe’. We must be aware of
this and act accordingly if we want the full Return
that He Promised. You’ve got a partial return, and so
have I. But our Father is not satisfied with that partial
Return—so why should we be? Partial
Obedience=Partial Return.
6
Tithing is More Than Just Dropping
Your Envelope in the Basket…
 It is What You Say to The Lord as You
Submit it.
 It is What You Believe as You Submit it.
 It is What You Think as You Submit it.
 It is Even How You Act (Carry Yourself )
as You Submit it…
 Just Like David Did Before Goliath, You
Must Speak and Act in Confidence. Why?
7
Because God, Your Father, Jesus, Your Lord,
High Priest and Savior, and Even the Devil is
Listening to HOW You Speak Over Your
Tithes…
 And What You Believe God is Going to Do, with
Them…
– God Said He Would Open the Windows of Heaven and
Pour You Out Such a Blessing There is NOT Room
Enough to Receive It All. SOME body Has Got to Believe
Like That, Think Like That, Act Like That and Speak Like
That—And Not Merely for 10 Minutes, (Then Forget it as
Soon as They Reach the Parking Lot!)
– God said, That He will Rebuke The Devourer—For Your
Sake. But What Have YOU Been Saying About That?
– What ELSE did He Say? _____So, What Are You Saying ?
8
God Has Said a Lot For You and Over
You—The Catch is, It Doesn’t Work
Unless You Say It And Believe It Too…
 Deut. 26:4 “And the priest shall take the basket
out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar
of the LORD thy God. 5 “And thou shalt speak
and say before the LORD thy God…”
 Num. 14: 28 Say unto them, As truly as I live,
saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears,
so will I do to you:
9
And What About After You
Tithe…
 You Again Must Be Mindful of How You
Think, Talk, Act and Speak!
 Because Your High Priest is Still Listening!
 And Because Your Words ‘Water’ Your
Seeds and Your Spiritual Crops!
10
Not Just Any Ole Water Will Do, You
Must Use Fresh Water To Produce Fresh
Fruit and Produce—A Good Crop!
 Just Because You Think About Your Return
is Not Enough—How Do You Think About
Your Return. How Do You See it Coming?
– Because Not Just ‘Any Ole Kind of Water’ on
Your Plants Will Do!
Rusty Run-off from a Junk
Yard is ‘water’ alright, But
How Will it Affect Your
Spiritual Crops?
11
You Can’t Live Off of Rusty Water, So
How Can Your Spiritual Crops Live off
of Negative Words and Thoughts?
Note the Plants Around the Hydrant, Lack Lustre and Dry—Half Dead.
12
Just Like You, Your Crops Must
Have Fresh Water—Daily
 God’s Word, Coming of Your Mouth in
Confidence, Determination, Love and Faith
Directed At Your ‘Seed’ (What You Have
Given) is Fresh Water!
13
Fresh Water Produces Fresh Fruits,
Crops and Strong Vibrant Plants!
14
**Your Words, Thinking And Resultant
Actions Water Your Life and the Seeds
You Have Sown In It…
 And They Either
Make Sickly
Results…
 Or Strong Powerful
Crops…
**
15
And You Control The Results!
And Don’t Worry About Getting
Your Seed ‘Dirty’.
 Water Them Well!.
16
Believe, Act, Think and
Speak…
 Just as Strongly After You Tithe, as You do
Before You Tithe,
 And Who Knows, One Day We May Hear
You Tell Your Story of Abundance and
Wealth…

Out of Retirement…
18
Activating the Return on Your Tithe…
 Take Some Time to Tithe—Don’t Just Rush
Through It
 Do it the night before, or even a day or two
before, do it as a family, if you can . Or as a
couple, or if you must, even by yourself, but the
Lord is there and remember—you are speaking
directly to Him, and then to the Father. So, you
are not really alone.
 Tithing is first personal. It is between you and
God. Here’s a sample…
19
Activating the Return on Your Tithe…
 “(I) We profess this day unto the Lord God that we have come into
the Inheritance which the Lord swore to give us. We are in the
Land which You have provided for us in Jesus Christ, the
Kingdom of Almighty God (Colossians 1:13). We were sinners in
bondage by and to Satan; but we called upon the Name of Jesus
and You heard our cry and delivered us from the power and
authority of darkness and translated us into the Kingdom of Your
Dear Son."
 "Jesus, You are our Lord and High Priest, we bring the Firstfruits
of our income to You and worship the Lord our God with it. We
rejoice in all the good which You have given to us and our
household. We have hearkened to the voice of You, the Lord our
God and have done according to all that He has commanded us.
Now, look down from Your holy habitation from Heaven and bless
us as You said in Deuteronomy 26:14,15 and Malachi 3:10,11."
