Did you know a person can evaluate the condition of a man's heart by looking in his checkbook? It's true - the Word tells us that a man's heart is where his money is. Therefore, when we tug on a man's wallet, we tug on his heart. This is a principle God makes use of every single day. Most men (and women) believe they are the owners of their own wealth. And if they are broke, they are the first to blame another for their poverty.

God made us for Himself, empowered us to live life, and gave us the resources to sustain His kingdom work here on this earth. When any of us attempt to take ownership of His allotted resources, it is classified as stealing or robbing from His storehouse (see Malachi 3) and provokes Him to being a jealous God. It is IN Him that we live, move, and have our very being, which should certainly include our earthly treasures.

God is the owner and the presider over all the wealth and material possessions in this world - even the collectables the Antichrist presently has stored up for himself.   When we compare apples with apples, that piece of paper in our pocket called a dollar, has little or no value. The only reason it is "burning a hole in our pocket" is because man has placed some kind of sumptuous value upon it. Did you know that one community of Revelation's Seven Churches is responsible for placing value upon a coin/paper? The township of Thyatira was the first to "invent" money. This community was also known for being the first to enslave women to work outside the home, in order for the men to advance in wealth. In fact, the definition of "Thyatira" means "worthless feminine thing." This community became one of the primary targets for Satan to establish his Beast (global economy). The aftermath of the work Satan accomplished in this community is still at work in our wallets today.

Let's face it, God is a miraculous God and His economy is everlasting. He wants to show His people His reality and power, to both the saved and the unsaved world. One means by which He has chosen to do this is through His miraculous provision of money, possessions, and generosity.

First of all, we need to define "miracle." It is a "supernatural power, being birthed through a natural event, with precise timing to bring glory to God." It is a normal, natural, and neutral work of God. Miracles are not big, oversized events or happenings to God. They are His normal day-to-day works.
