Re: Growing Faith
My wife joined the church only a year ago, recieved the Holy Ghost last year shortly after. Even though I had a lifetime of experience to share with her, she never had enough faith in God to tithe and trust Him with the outcome.
Two months ago she felt to start tithing. Since then we have went from living paycheck to paycheck to having money in our accounts at any given point in time. Our business has picked up more clients in the last two months than we did all last year. Plus money has come in from unexpected sources.
Now she tithes faithfully, on everything, and the blessings are still coming back to us.
So my question is this. Even though she heard the Word concerning tithing and putting our faith in God to provide, it wasn't until she exercised that faith did she see and believe God would be faithful in return. Is this not an example of exercising ones faith and it growing?
(To those against tithing, please don't start that discussion here, its not the point of the thread)

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter
