I AM going to step out on a limb and let GOD grow a tree under me!                         -Rev. Edwene Gaines

Dear Friends,

We just returned from an amazing ANTN Conference in Atlanta.  We Played and Prayed in the  Divine Nature of the beautiful wooded area of Simpsonwood Retreat Center and were Sacredly Awakened every day to the truth of our being.  The Chattahoochee River ran next to the retreat and we enjoyed early morning walks on the trails and the 11 circuit labyrinth. Our guest speakers were over the top GREAT! We were inspired by Rev. Mark Anthony Lord,  Rev. David Ault, Rev. Edwene Gaines, and Bishop Rev. Dr. Barbara King.    This week we are focusing on our God Power of Abundance. Today I want to share the wisdom of the Prosperity Queen, Rev. Edwene Gaines, author of many prosperity books including The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity.

Here are wonderful words of truth she shared with us.

• God is your Source! (not your boss or job)
• When funds seem lacking ask, “How can I give more, serve more, love more, not how can I get more.”
• The best time to “give” and/or tithe is when you feel unsafe financially. Totally TRUST in God!
• All financial debt is about forgiveness. Debt is a way to punish ourselves. Start a forgiveness journal and write in it twice a day. Remember to forgive yourself. Ask “Have I put anyone out of my heart today.”
• Tithe! “A tithe is 10% of all you receive given where you receive your spiritual food (church, faith center, minister, teacher, friend…etc) Its purpose is to acknowledge God as the Source of your good. The promise in Malachi 3:10 is that when you tithe, the windows of heaven open for you.  It is important to pray believing as you tithe, clearly stating in what form you want the windows of heaven to open for you.”
