To Christians that tithe, when you started tithing did honestly notice a difference in your fiances?

Question

Thanks and God Bless

Answer 1

Actually yes. Before we started tithing, we were spending all we had, and never had anything left over. Sometimes, it seemed that we didn't have enough to go around and "make ends meet". So of course, when we felt convicted to start tithing, we were wondering "but where is that gonna come from?" But we decided to be obedient to God anyway, and trusted Him to provide what we need. We still have enough money to pay all of our bills, and still have a few "extras", even with giving 10% to the church. God has not only provided all our needs, but has taught us to be better stewards with what is rightfully His anyway.

Answer 2

Absolutely.

I started tithing a few years ago. Within a year I was out of debt and able to afford a $250K house...a year later, I was offered a new job that increased my annual income by about $40K in a town with a cost of living about 33% lower than where I lived before...this effectively more than doubled my purchasing power.

...then I stopped tithing for a couple of years (I didn't make an effort to find a new church after I moved...I attended a few but didn't like them and just stopped going). After a year and a half, I was in debt again, my wonderful new job was being threatened, and I had dipped into my retirement fund to make ends meet.

Then I started going to a great church and started tithing again. I got my spending under control and paid off a lot of my debt (still working on it but I have the opportunity to earn enough from a special assignment next summer to pay it all off if I want), the threats to my job were eliminated, and I stumbled onto an opportunity to supplement my income doing something I was already doing for fun. Other blessings allowed me to maintain the quality of my son's education without the expense of private school.

I'll never be lazy about tithing again...I believe God promises to reward people that give and I have enough evidence from my own life and from the lives of people I know to be convinced that he keeps this promise!

Answer 3

It took me a long time to tithe, It was hard to give up money that i needed. So when i first started to it seemed as though i always had a little extra when the next payday rolled around. At that time i had more bills than i had money, i got myself in a hole banking on overtime. My wife kept telling me we needed to tithe, because things were getting cut off all the time. Then i pay it and get it back, and 2 months later it would get turned off agine. I noticed that when i started to tithe, and something would be fixing to get cut off, i could pray and some how every time i would get some money from something that was not expected. Things were staying on. i firmly believe in tithing it is a act of worship and obedience to God.

Answer 4

Yes. When I thought there was no way to pay my bills I would get an unexpected or forgotten check. When I thought I could not feed my children a neighbor would bring food. When I was jobless He made it possible for me to work. I've never had an abundance of money but always enough to live comfortably and help others by giving as well.
I personally believe that when the bible speaks of tithing and that you will be rewarded tenfold it could be in a thousand ways other than money. My cup surely runneth over with love!

Answer 5

Not directly to the finances, but in other things.
Small things would come our way that had never come before.
We were even given two cows out of the blue (may seem odd, but we have a farm and people dont just normally give you cattle)

Plus, you get great satisfaction when you are part of helping a mission in some other country, or your own youth, or in other area's of someones life. It is larger then financial gain.

God bless you also.

Answer 6

Catholics don't formally tithe, but I do give a decent amount of money in support of the Church and her missions, in addition to other charity.

I hope this helps me store up my treasures in Heaven, as Jesus suggested we should focus on. I don't expect any earthly reward for this (well, except tax deductions, but that's between Caesar and I).

Answer 7

truth fully no. But I tithe for heaven, not here. So truthfully yes. I am saving up for heaven.

Answer 8

Yes my bills are always paid, and we always have plenty of food and when we need something the Heavenly Abba always makes sure we get it..and it is not always FINANCUAL, God blesses us with other things, healing another day in his presence i could go on ...Thank you Abba for just being you...I love you and totally trust you in every thing,YOU are WORTHY OF ALL OUR PRAISE AND I WORSHIP YOU OH LORD....AMEN

Answer 9

I stopped. I use to and than it hit me. My money will do more good purcaasing land for wildlife and helping cancer, than paying someone a salary to tell me stuff i can read and think about myself. I fell better because this way i am making a difference in the world. As far as financing it was simply i can afford 10 bucks, 5 to the ACS and 5 to Rocky Mt. Elk Foundation. So i donat 40 dollars a month, not alot but it makes me feel good.

Answer 10

I did, but it was not that I missed the amount I gave. I actually found that I was more financially comfortable when I gave. If I forget- something always goes wrong and I end up broke!
