![]() About the joke of “or I’ll give you your money back” Knowing Pastor Robert, he said it because he knew people would taste and see what the Lord says about testing Him is true after they start relying on God. ![]() I strongly suggest not to talk about something you’ve never tasted before, but for those who tested God (as He said we could with our tithings in Malachi 3:10 ) I can assure you, it is true what he said about the consequenses. ![]() I’ve seen, with my own eyes, this church deliver goods all over the world and use their money wisely to reach people free classes, conferences, books, concerts, outreach supplies, etc. I’ve been involved with Gateway Church for almost seven years now, directly and indirectly as I helped a hispanic church who sent missionaries to South America to preach the Gospel and help ministries. I actually watch their services as He was called to be my Pastor for this season of Rest after years of ministry. People open the door to the devil and then they cry because he stole from them. And David, who was God’s heart desire and to become the anointed one didn’t dare to touch Saul recognizing God’s authority over him. Don’t forget Saul wasn’t God’s heart desire, but he was His will and anointed one. I am very clareful of bashing someone who could be anointed by the Lord. ![]() When I have a problem with a Pastor, I go to the Lord in private and present my confusion/complaint to Him. I am careful with who I listen to, because the Lord places a Pastor in your life and not all the time is because of the Pastor, but to test your obedience. He who is faithful will little will be faithful with more.Ībout Pastor Robert, I’ve been blessed with his teachings, as well as with Todd White, Bob Hamp, Kris Vallotton and Bill Johnson. He also showed me a pattern of debt in my family, one I am finally breaking free from. It wasn’t that I didn't have money, I just didn’t have my priorities straight and God was showing me that. I also noticed my clothes, food and car gas last longer and I became wiser. Then I started noticing opportunities started to appear free financial classes, more working hours, a better job with less work but more income, an opportunity to go back to school and be able to finally get my certification to work on what I love most. When I started tithing I did it as an act of obedience, but I complained I didn’t have money left, I still did it. I’ve seen people who were christians, tithed and then left the church have their lives destroyed, not because God cursed them, but because they removed themselves from God’s umbrella (protection) it is a natural consequence of their actions, just as if you don’t don’t drink water, you will die in a few days. I believe tithing is not only an act of obedience but also of trusting God as I realized it is not my work who sustains me, but God himself and His promises. I’ve been tithing for years, not only money, but also my time, and I can tell you of how blessed I’ve been by trusting God. It’s easy to take small takes of a sermon and change the whole message to prove your point.
