Message was preached by Prophet Carn
If you are afraid of money you won't have it.
James 4:2
2Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not
He will not bless you with money if you are only interested having fat pockets and forget others around you. God will bless you to become a blessing.
Luke 19:13
13And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
You can see who you are by who you speak with and what you spend you spend your money on. As a man thinks so he is (Prov 23:7). God only gives money to those he knows won't mind giving it away. Some of us are stingy and not blessed because we want to use our money to control others. If money is given as a gift it can't be used to control others. God gives seed to the sower(2 Cor 9:10). If we don't have seed then we must be irresponsible with the seed. The blessing of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow (Prov 10:22).
Malachi 3:10
10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
When you pay your tithes (not money, it was crop, oil, things in the field) the blessing is not going to be blessings in the house but in the field. God will connect us with everything secular. The wealth of the wicked is laid up fr the righteous (Prov 13:22). God may give you an invention or idea.
Learn to operate in God's principals. He needs to give you a miracle because you are not operating in His principal. For example if we eat right we will not have health issues and need to be healed.
Gen 8:20 -22
20And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
If you want the curse to be broken you need to sacrifice something and something must die in order to live. Some of us give but the giving does not hurt. The giving that moves God is the giving that makes you wonder if you gave too much. When God nudges you something supernatural is on God's agenda.
Learn to respect others anointing. You can't talk about them and expect to have the same anointing. Learn to celebrate others blessings.
It's not a good testimony if you shout and praise God in church but you can't pay your bills. It gives glory to God when you are in abundance. You have a Jehovah Jireh. If you are broke your unsaved friends and family will not see the need to serve God.
Psalm 84:11
11For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
If you are meeting the criteria for holiness God is obligated to move for you. As a child of the King there is a certain way you should walk and talk. Wealth should be exuding from you. Wealth is in your inheritance.
Gen 8:22
22While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
There is a seed time and harvest time. We want to sow and then receive now. We can't bypass the time part. We have to wait.
Romans 4:17
17(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Say it until you see it.
What I sow I get back. You can't overlook the time part. Even God honors time. A woman must go through the process of time before giving birth. There are laws that God has established and He doesn't break laws:
Psalm 119:89
89For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
Praising God doesn't make the seed come. It brings God's presence. A seed must be sown but money alone is not a seed. Anything that has seed has life. Money is not a seed until you wrap your money with the word so the money takes on the nature of the word/what you speak. If you disrespect money you will never have it. The love of money is the root of evil (1 Tim 6:10).
The harvest is men. When you give God will cause men to give unto your bosom (Luke 6:38). If you touch God, He will touch men. You shouldn't want money more than God. Blessings give you an opportunity to tell others about God.
Deuteronomy 8:18
8But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Power in this scripture means knowledge. You can be in prayer and the Holy Ghost can give you an idea that will change your life. God rains on the just and the unjust (Matt 5:45).
There was an ark of the covenant. It was a tent with an ark in it. Jesus is a promise. Outside of the covenant is the flesh that carries the covenant of God. God has given us an assignment to establish His covenant. What are you going to do with God's blessing? God will supply your needs (Phil 4:19),
Here are some other scriptures:
Ecclesiastes 10:19
19A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
Eph 3:20
20Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Isaiah 31:1
1Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
Habakkuk 2:4
4Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

God Crippled the Poverty Devil in January
Tonight Pastor Brown gave a prophetic word to LOGIC.
Ezekiel 30:20 KJV
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month , in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword. Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
Last month God ended poverty. We are going to the next level. He (God) has broken the poverty spirit. He has broken Pharoah's arm. You are too anointed to be broke. There is money waiting for you.
1 John 4:4 KJV
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
God can take you supernaturally from one level to the next in a blink of an eye.
2 Chronicles 20:20 KJV
And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Your money has gone to the next level. This is for everyone, young and old. The day of manifestation is here. The poor can not help the poor.
Poverty is not coming back.
Ezekiel 30:21 KJV
Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
Nobody can break your arm but God and it can't be healed. You will be smiling and dancing not because of what God is going to do but because you received your miracle.
Ezekiel 30:22 KJV
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
Poverty is a strong hold. You can serve God better with money.
3 John 1:2 KJV
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
You will be healthy and wealthy. The devil was destroyed in January.
Sword = power. He will strip the power of the devil. God has power over the enemy and money. You will never be broke again.

The Power of Money - Lord Make Me a Blessing
Gen 12:1-3
1Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Special attention is given to verse 2. God will make you the head and not the tail, the lender and not the borrower, you will be blessed going in and going out. We've been asking God when is our time coming. God will bless you because people need to see God blessing you.
1. We need to get out of our comfort zone. Watch who is in your circle and expose yourself to greatness.
Money is needed to advance the gospel. Cities can change with money. Don't let people speak negativity into your life and let you believe that you will always struggle.
2. Get away from your family.
There are times you will need to stay away from your family for a season. Don't let them hold you back or disrespect you. Don't let them run your marriage. Change can not be feared. Some people will never get the increase until they step out in faith and do the thing that God has called them to do. God needs to see if He can trust you.
3. Get to your Father's house.
The House is where there is protection and provision. We have to give up what has been given to us freely (such as parents taking care of our bills). If this doesn't happen we won't have the tenacity to do things on our own. Each generation should be greater than the last. When we leave to go to our Father's house we can bless those who have blessed us. We also need to be a blessing to our parents as well. We fear leaving our parent's home because we don't know where to go. A vision and plan is needed. Also trust that God will guide your next steps.
Stay away from cliques. There will be a backlash when God blesses you. You have to determine that you have been where you are too long. When you step out in faith you can't put the faith pressure on God.
Gen 12:3
3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
When you sow for a season he will turn you into soil and make your name great. Can he change your name?
Remember you are the head and not the tail, above and not beneath, you will be the borrower and not the lender and you are debt free by faith.

The Power of Money - 10 Reasons to Tithe
1. Biblical principal.
Tithing was in operation before the law.
Gen 14:20
20And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
Melchizedek was Jesus and he also showed up in the fiery furnace. (See Daniel 3:25 - 27)
Gen 28:20 -22
20And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
22And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
It brings God's protection, presence and provision.
2. It is the holy part and belongs to God.
The 90% belongs to you but the 10% belongs to God. The first thing that needs to be done is take God's part out.
Gen: 2:17
17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
3. It brings honor to God.
When we don't tithe we are dishonoring God.
Prov 3:9
9Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
4. God is our source.
Phil 4:19
19But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Some people don't tithe because they do not believe that God is their source. Sometimes God will allow us to lose our jobs to show us that He is our source.
5. Jesus said we should.
Matt 23:23
23Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Tithing by itself is not enough. Don't expect God to bless you just because you are tithing but you are not doing other things that are required by God such as loving your loving your neighbor. The bible also says to leave your gift at the altar if you have a problem with a brother in Christ:
Matt 5:24
24Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
6.We don't want to rob God.
Mal 3:8
8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
There is a difference between a thief and a robber. A thief does not want to get caught but a robber doesn't care. We tithe out of love and not fear. There are three different types of people:
a) Committed - These people will tithe no matter what.
b) Uncommitted - They are thinking about tithing but will give offerings.
c) Uninformed - They don't know about tithing.
7. It positions us for a supernatural increase.
Mal 3:10
10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Notice that God said that he would open up the windows and not doors. There are more windows in a house than doors.
8. You believe in your storehouse (church)
Mal 3:10
10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
9. So God can guard and protect our increase
Mal 3:11
11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
When we tithe the devil won't be able to access what belongs to us. There is a protection over money and is like insurance.
10. We want to be able to test God.
Mal 3:10
10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
This is the only time God asks us to test him. You can remind God of his Word and put faith pressure on Him.
Tithing was in operation before the law.
Gen 14:20
20And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
Melchizedek was Jesus and he also showed up in the fiery furnace. (See Daniel 3:25 - 27)
Gen 28:20 -22

The Power of Money - The Power of Giving
Malachi 3:8
8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
This scripture was not talking to the church. The church was not birthed until the book of Acts. It was speaking to the Levitical priesthood. Tithing was done before the law. Abraham tithed to Melchizedek (See Genesis 14: 17 - 20). Melchizedek had no beginning or end. God will step in the fire with you and He will show up on your behalf when people are attacking you. Melchizedek was Jesus.
When you don't tithe you are robbing God. The tithe is 10%. It is the debt that you owe. The offering is the seed that you sow. A tithe is returned and an offering is given. The tithe and the offerings are two seperate things. To receive more you have to give more.
There is a difference between a thief and a robber. A thief is sly, creepy, puts on a mask. A robber is bold and will steal in broad daylight.
Luke 6:38
38Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Man runs the earth. God doesn't have access unless it is through man. It is our own fault if we are broke and we have to do something about it. You can't be stingy because a closed fist can not receive anything. Sometimes you have to give your way out. One day you will be the man (Luke 6:38) who will doing the giving.
If it is not in your heart to give it is best to keep your money. God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7). If you feel a tugging on your heart that is God telling you to give.
2 Corinthians 9:10
10Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
The seed and the harvest is often confused. If it doesn't meet a need it is a seed. Don't eat your seed.
Acts 10:1-4
1There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
3He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
4And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
Alms is any kind of money, food, clothing,ect that is given to the poor.
Proverbs 28:27
27He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
Matt 14:16 - 21
16But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18He said, Bring them hither to me.
19And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
When you give God positions you for the overflow. Notice that there were 12 baskets, one for each disciples. Little in your hand become big in His hands.
You live to give.
8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Acts 10:1-4
1There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
3He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
4And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
Alms is any kind of money, food, clothing,ect that is given to the poor.
Proverbs 28:27
27He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
Matt 14:16 - 21
16But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18He said, Bring them hither to me.
19And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
When you give God positions you for the overflow. Notice that there were 12 baskets, one for each disciples. Little in your hand become big in His hands.
You live to give.

The Power of Money - Is He Worth a Dime?
Learn how to think wealthy and stop thinking your job is the only way to wealth. God didn't just send Jesus so you can get to heaven but to also have heaven on earth. Everyone has increase on their life. You can't do anything with out money. When you don't tithe you are saying God is not worth a dime. Tithing is part of the Old and the New Testament.
Malachi 3:10
10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
This is right and it is for today. You tithe because we love God and not because you are afraid of being cursed. Blessing = Empowerment for heaven. Favor can take you further than heaven.
Tithing = 10%
There are 3 kinds of people
1. Committed - These are the people who will tithe no matter what and knows it is right.
2. Uncommitted - They have the attitude that the church should be grateful for a little offering. They are not ready to tithe.
3. Uninformed - They just don't know about tithing.
Be wise with the 90% that you have.When you start keeping 10 % it creates a whole lot of problems. If you don't make much God doesn't want much. If you make much He wants much. Adam touched the one thing that God told him not to touch and now look at the mess we are in.
Gen 28: 20 -22
20And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
22And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
Tithing brings protection, God's presence and provision. Giving a seed with out tithing is like tipping the waiter without paying for the meal.
Proverbs 3:9 - 10
9Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
Don't expect God to bring you out of a problem quickly when you have spent years robbing God. Don't let people talk you out of tithing. Tithe off of the money from your job and any source of money. Your job is a resource and not a source. You need to store up in heaven so God will provide when problems arise and when people turn on you. Do not tithe off of borrowed money. That is not an increase. That is money that needs to be paid back.
God may not be freely giving to you because you are not giving what belongs to Him.
Malachi 3:10
10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

The Power of Money - Money is a Defense
The Power of Money Series
Ecclesiastes 7:12
For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
You must believe that you deserve to be financially blessed, financially free, and financially wealthy. You have to have the right relationship with money. Then God will give you more.
Money is the defense:
The majority of our problems stems from lack of money.
1. When you have money you will be strong and stop problems (i.e. family, mortgage, utility bills)
2. It brings respect - You have to believe that you have the right to be blessed.
3. It helps your health
4. It answers Family problems.
5. You should want money to leave an inheritance to your children.
6. Ministries need money - People don't care about how much you know until you show how much you care.
7. It brings protection.
Ecclesiastes 9:14 -15
14There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and
built great bulwarks against it:
15Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man
remembered that same poor man.
Note in vs 15 that though the wise man helped to deliver the city but because he was poor no one remembered him.
Luke 21: 1- 5
1And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
Because she gave her all she even got the attention of Jesus. We can not have a nonchalant attitude when we give an offering to God.
Proverbs 18:16
16A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
A gift does not mean your talent. Gift in Hebrew is mattan which means a bountiful, liberal person.
8. It will bring you before great men
Proverbs 14:20
20The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
Believe that God wants to change your financial status. Be careful of what you speak Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). God wants to give you so much so that you will be a blessing to others.
A few other verses to look at:
Luke 20:25
25And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
1 Timothy 6:10
10For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Money itself is not evil. It depends on the hands it is in. Money can be used to feed the poor and help the homeless but it can also be used for drug deals and to gamble.
Your change is on its way. You just don't know where it is coming from.
