Now I want to tell you about a goofy phone call that I had from a very sweet lady. She is a lady that is one of the hosts on QVC. Now I had never met her, had not talked to her, didn’t know anything about her until she started contacting our ministry.
And as she contacted our ministry, she began preaching to us. She began preaching Oral’s Seed-Faith message to us. And today she called me, and she said, “Lindsay, I want you to know what I’m doing right now.” And I said, “Okay.”
She said, “I am putting a check”—and it was a very sizable check—“into an envelope.” And she said, “I am licking it right now, and I am walking to the mailbox.”
And I said, “Why are you doing that?” And she said, “I want you to know that I have to sow seed into good ground.” She said, “God doesn’t need my money.” And I thought, Well, okay. He walks on streets of gold, walls made out of jasper, gates made out of pearl. I bet He doesn’t need our money.
But she said, “I have a need to sow it.” She said, “There’s areas in my life where my needs are not being met, and I believe Malachi, that God will open me the windows of heaven, pour out a blessing where there’s not room enough to receive it, and rebuke the devourer for our sake.”
And I said, “Have you been listening to me on Make Your Day Count?” She said, no, actually she works during that time. And I said, “I want you to go on-line, and I want you to listen to what I have to say today because that is exactly what I have my Bible open to is the book of Malachi.”
And I want to show you something. Malachi 3:10 and 11, and I know I’ve kind of been on this scripture a lot. But, you know, until we get the revelation of it, let’s stick with something until it gets in us.
It says, “Bring tithe and offering into the storehouse,” or where you’re being fed spiritually. If it’s this program, if it’s something where you are being fed, you’re to bring tithe and offering into that storehouse—“that there may be meat,” or resources, “in that storehouse.”
Now this is the only time in the entire Bible, Genesis to Revelation, where this word is going to appear. And I’m going to read it to you. It says, “Prove me.” The only time in the entire Bible, all 66 books of the Bible, where God uses this word and says, “Prove me,” is right there, proving tithe and offering and opening the windows of heaven and rebuking the devourer. That’s the only place He said, “Put me to the test.”
And it says it’s not like, “I dare you,” but it’s sort of like that in saying, “I want you to test this thing. I want you to see how it operates.”
What I think God was telling us is that He wants to see in us, in our situation, He wants us to understand the system. If you want God’s answers, then you’ve got to do it on God’s system. If you want spiritual answers, miraculous answers, you have to do it in God’s miraculous way.
“Bring all the tithe and offering into the storehouse, that there may be meat,” or resources, “in my house. And prove me now, says the Lord of hosts, and see”—prove Him now. That’s a good one—“see if I will not open you the windows of heaven, pour you out a blessing where there’s not room enough to even receive it all, and rebuke the devourer for your sakes.
“He shall not destroy the fruits of your ground. Your vine shall not cast her fruit before the time in the field, says the Lord of hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed, and you will be a delightsome land.”
