Malachi 3-4; Ps 148;Acts 5

Malachi 3: 6-7"I am God—yes, I Am. I haven't changed. And because I haven't changed, you, the descendants of Jacob, haven't been destroyed. You have a long history of ignoring my commands. You haven't done a thing I've told you. Return to me so I can return to you," says God-of-the-Angel-Armies.(choice / free will??)

"You ask, 'But how do we return?'

8-11"Begin by being honest. Do honest people rob God? But you rob me day after day.

"You ask, 'How have we robbed you?'

"The tithe and the offering—that's how! And now you're under a curse —the whole lot of you—because you're robbing me. Bring your full tithe to the Temple treasury so there will be ample provisions in my Temple. Test me in this and see if I don't open up heaven itself to you and pour out blessings beyond your wildest dreams. For my part, I will defend you against marauders, protect your wheat fields and vegetable gardens against plunderers." The Message of God-of-the-Angel-Armies.

12"You'll be voted 'Happiest Nation.' You'll experience what it's like to be a country of grace." God-of-the-Angel-Armies says so.

To give no less w/leaving my job...don't know how...didn't know how and here you say TRUST You...eyes on Jesus, praying in Your Spirit buckle down and just do it and then Ps. 148 Praising You while we do it, every step of the way.
And then in Acts, Ananais and Sapphira didn't do it...lied about it.....didn't TRUST You, didn't choose You and then lied about it...test You, turn to You and be forgiven, never trifle or lie to You...be soft and live protected, not safe, never safe RISKY and protected.....
