Greetings Saints!!
We are back again! It's an honor to share the Word with you today. This message is a continuation of our three part series: "The Death and Burial of ASAP."
God is trying to teach us how to think and act with money. I know you're ready...let's get started!!

It's time out for us not trying. We've got a serious thing going on in this country, but we've got a greater war going on in our hearts. Go before God in continual prayer and he will deliver you no matter what it is. I'm a living witness God will deliver you no matter what it is. Let's go back to Acts 4:32, and today I'm talking about the "Death and Burial of ASAP (Ananias and Sapphira)."
God is healing through this word, he is healing concerning your finances. One of the greatest evidences of financial healing is you being willing to change your mind and give wherever God wants you to give and how much he wants you to give. That's healing and that is strong evidence of financial freedom and increase according to the Word of God.
Now, let me show you how the first sin tried to enter the church and God had to stop it. Acts 5 tells the story of a husband and wife who had other plans. They were trying to appear as if they were willing to give and they were not. Yes, Ananias and Sapphira sold their possessions, like everyone else did, but they were going through the motions. They had no mind to do what was right with the money they received, like others had done. They planned on lying to the Holy Ghost. They wanted to share what everybody else had but weren't willing to give their all. Watch when you are willing to take more than you are willing to give.
When your willingness dies when it comes to money or supporting whatever ministry God tells you to support, you have to watch it. When you say that's too much for him or why should God do that for them and when you celebrate money too much or go after money too much it's because you lack understanding. When you are so stingy when it comes to giving to God's people and those people who help you in whatever situation, you have no understanding. Your senses become like Nebuchadnezzar out there in the field like an ox and your mind becomes matted and stagnate.
You've got to give God more than your heart. When you bring your pain and trouble to church don't forget your wallet. In the Holy Ghost there is generosity. So that means some of us don't have the Holy Ghost. Some of us want everything and bring in petty people who want everything but give nothing. They refuse to sow anything but try to put a demand on God and what he should give them.
Let me tell you something, when I began to enforce what God says about tithing, givings, and how the Lord loves a cheerful giver, the church goes quiet. The airways go quiet and people will say all that preacher wants is money. So assaults come from left and right because I'm preaching the truth. But God is out to kill the ASAP (Ananias and Sapphira) in you that wants to do anything else other than what God said.
In Acts 4, it talks about a man name Joses (who before Ananias and Sapphira) sold his land and laid it all at the Apostle's feet. Look at his testimony, look at how God wrote about his giving. Ananias and Sapphira could have had the same testimony. Your giving tells most about you. What's your testimony?
Well, that's all for now. I love you and I'm praying for you!!!
Love Always,
Apostle Tee
