Tithe Message

Psalms 147:10

Take delight in your resources. Steadfast love equals His kindness. He delights in you expecting Him.

Apostle Dale Armstrong read Deuteronomy 1:1. He mentioned that in the book of Psalms, it talks about boasting the Lord. We need to brag on the Lord. God sees the future and He is a good God.

Apostle Dale read from Joshua 1:1. If God sent you somewhere you are walking in His Authority. Boldness and righteousness is what He told Joshua to be like. It's to give inheritance for others to be strong. There are some things that we believe but, we have to be strong about it.  Sin is bad because it you don't hit the mark. Sin destroys, robs, and kills. Sin is incipient death. Apostle Dale read from 1 John 1:7. You got to walk in the light that you so that we can fellowship. It's not a feeling or an emotion. The authority of a believer. Turning to right or turning to the left, you don't want to miss the mark. Don't miss the mark, stay in the light. God wants you in placed geographically. The purpose of sin is to destroy.

Ron Cohn referenced Colossians 3:16. The Lord had given two songs through Rohn Cohn: Braggadocious  When life gets to be a drag you should brag. When strength in your life begins to lag, on the Lord God you should brag. When the devil's tongue begins to wag, strike back! On the Lord begin to brag.    When in life you need a brand new bag, just praise the Lord and begin to brag. When the lies of the devil become a nag, rise up in victory and on God brag. When the only dancing has become a shag, stand up begin to dance and give God a brag. When in life you are it, satan wants to tag, just touch him back and on God brag, brag, brag.  Magnifying the Lord When you magnify the Lord, H will get big. He will get so large you'll dance a jig. And when you magnify Him, He will get tall. If you don't magnify Him, He will stay small. So when life gets tough and you want to cry. See God bigger and start to magnify.
