Fire on the Altar

Three foundational truths about Giving, Praying, and Fasting. 1. Don't give, pray, or fast as a show, so others can see rather do them secretly. We should give, pray, and fast in a spirit of humility. Matthew 6:1, 6:6, 6:16 2. All three giving, praying, and fasting should be regular and consistent disciplines in the life of every Christian. Matthew 6:3, 6:5, 6:16 3. There are great rewards for giving, praying, and fasting both now in this life and even greater rewards in eternity. Matthew 6:4, 6:6, 6:18

John 7:37-38 NKJV On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” As Christians we must have source of input (Coming to Jesus and drinking living water) and we must also have a source of output (out of your belly will flow rivers of living water).   Can you identify in your life both a input and output? A time of receiving and then a time of giving. A time of being ministered to and then a time of ministering to others. We must not only drink and receive or we will become like stagnant stinking water. And we can't expect to give something we have not first received from Jesus.
