ALMS GIVING- THE BELIEVER'S EVIDENCE

Matthew 10: 8
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons; freely you have received, freely give.

FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE.

Let these words sink deep into your soul. These are words that will transform your whole way of thinking about things. We have received from the LORD'S hand all that we need to live, He gave it to us free. It cost Him His only Son to be able to give eternal life to us freely, so what we received was not cheap; but it was free for us. Since we have received everything from the LORD and we possess nothing, then we should give freely to others from what we have been given.

A friend of mine has said that when she looks at the things she has in her home, she says, "this does not belong to me, it belongs to someone else" the she asks the LORD, "who do you want me to give it to?" Then she gives it away.

When we hold on to the things we have, we are contributing to the poverty of another whom GOD wants to supply their need. GOD does supply the needs of all who ask, we might just have that means in our storehouse.

FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE
