Yes, God does want to see if we'll be obiedient. Malachi tells us to give & "try me" & see if he will not fill our cupboards & see that our fruits & crops will yield.
he does bless the 90% or less , depending on what percent we give, when we give to the Lord. But if we dont, yes, Satan will get it , something will come up God protects us when we give, not saying things dont happen to tithers, but we are more protected when we tithe.

The Bible tells us it is the proper thing to do.
Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe (one-tenth) into the
storehouse (which was the sanctuary). So Christians
give a tithe to their church to be used to further God's
Kingdom on earth. Churches must pay water, heat,
light, insurance bills and upkeep, just like anyone else who owns a home. So, it is up to the members of that chuch to give to help pay these bills if they want the church to survive.
The pastor of a church must provide for his family also
and makes his living ministering in the church, so his
salary must also be paid by the members.

Everything belongs to God, even money. Jesus took it all back from satan, he just wants us to think he has control over it. God does not need our money, but he wants everything in our life submitted to him, even our money. We are suppose to help the needy and those spreading the gospel. That is why in Matthew 10, the diciples are told not to take anything with them, they would be provided for (by other believers).

If everything does indeed belong to God, and he is all powerful and can print his own money... Maybe its NOT God making the churches beg... maybe its the devil.

'Obedient'! Uggggh. When we people stop punishing themselves because of a fairytale? How about considering the possibility that we've made our own rules here?

The only thing my church collects for is to buy food for people who can't afford it. We are non-profit.

Apparently, omnipotence includes being able to do everything except print or otherwise manifest your own money.
