One United Body has developed a culture of honor. 

I see an emerging culture of giving: 

• I see that buying and selling between believers will be replaced by giving.
• Faith works by love.
• Love gives.
• For God so loved the world that He gave…

The world’s economy is currently based on:

• buying and selling
• lending at interest

This economy is an aspect of Mystery Babylon The Great.

The kingdom of God’s economy is an economy of love.

• Lending to another believer at no interest.
• Gladly forgiving the loan if necessary.
• At which point the no interest loan becomes a gift.
• The kingdom of God will replace every other kingdom.
• The kingdom of God’s economy will replace the world’s economy.

Based on a group encounter that I once participated in, I see: 

1. A world-wide network of kingdom small businesses being raised up.
2. Networks of small businesses becoming kingdom commerce.
3. Commerce becoming a national Kingdom economy.

This is where we are going.

We give out of love to meet one another’s need.

• Listen to the prompting of Holy Spirit.
• We give from hearing a mandate.
• We give generously not out of compulsion / guilt / duty ( Corinthians)

Love requires that we meet the need of our natural families.

• Love requires that we meet the need of our heavenly family.
• Each is to work to meet their own need.
• Like Jesus and Paul did.
• No full time staff.

Family makes up the difference if one is unable to work.

• Or if full time work doesn’t bring in enough.
• We are to take care of our own widows and orphans.
• Love requires that we take care of our own.

We don’t believe in full time paid staff being on salary.

• This is characteristic of the old wineskin.
• Look where that got us to.
• We don’t want to go back to doing that again.

We don’t believe in charging for revelation that we have received.

• It is wrong trading to do so.

We do believe in asking for a donation in return for time spent in working. 

• Revelation is freely given to us by God.
• Revelation is to be freely given by us to His people.

It is wrong to restrict revelation to only to those who pay for it.

• It is not wrong to ask for a donation to cover the work involved in presenting that revelation or packaging that revelation for presentation
• Especially when that time spent prevents taking on a part time job for pay.
• It is wrong to require a donation.

It is not wrong to restrict access to revelation. 

( Yeshua proclaimed to many & explained to some.  Some revelations he only proclaimed to a few who were closest to him. )

• Not everyone is ready for every revelation.
• Not everyone is in relationship to the one who is revealing revelation.
• Not everyone is sowing back or trading into the one who is revealing revelation.
• Not everyone is a living sacrifice.
• Not everyone has made the trades required to qualify to hear some revelation.

Giving is not just of money.

• It may be of time.
• It may be of skill.

In all of this the Laws of Jerusalem & The Laws of Zion apply: 

• The Law of Sowing and Reaping
• The Law of abundance
• The Law of Trading

Love gives….
