However, let’s not generalize my question. My question was very specific. What Word of God do you have to back the faith you are referring to when you say “God honors faith” in respect to giving. |
My statement was referred generally. Votive was referring to giving differently than I practice. The statement that God honors faith was just as much to his scenario as mine. A lot of things we are led of the Spirit to do may have scriptural support, but that doesn’t mean that a person has to have scripture and verse to act out of faith.
Matthew 8:8-10
8......The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9......For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10......When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
The centurion’s request doesn’t seem to be established by his knowledge of scripture, but by his personal understanding of authority. The example he gave was his understanding of the chain of command within Roman military.
Here is a random scripture about giving if that is what your asking for?
Luke 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
