GIVING ON THE TRADING FLOORS OF HEAVEN

The Lord has called us to equip the body of Christ with kingdom age “technologies” that are powerful and far more effective than what we learned in the church age. .  You can be a part of it.  Everyone has a ministry.  We can change the world and we are much more powerful when we join together.

We can only do this through your prayers, partnership, and generous financial support.  Please consider partnering with us by trading with Heaven by giving either a one-time or monthly financial blessing.  Your financial blessing helps us to build, to continue to provide cutting edge ministry, and raise up a generation of manifest sons.  Since there are no time limitations, we believe and declare that you will reap an immediate and great harvest for sowing into this ministry.

Trading is about offering something in exchange for something else. It may be money, or goods, or other physical things, but it may also be love, a promise of God, your life, even the blood of Jesus. At its simplest, it is covenant exchange. When I take a tithe or an offering and offer it to God, I actually go to the treasury room in heaven, where Melchizedek presides in his capacity as Chancellor.  By faith we trade our finances and engage the treasury room bringing us into covenant exchange.  We are trading to see the kingdom of God advance and expand. It is all about Him.

One particular application of trading that you may have seen in our meetings is when a speaker has said something and people want to engage in it, they come and give an amount of money to trade into the revelation: they are honoring that revelation and want to activate that revelation in their life to receive blessing from engaging with it.

The teaching of the Terumah (with the first and second tithes) is unfortunately not well known or taught to the body of Christ today.  Here are some terms, a practical example, and attached verses that I use.  This represents the way the Hebrews and the early church biblically managed their giving from Genesis through the fourth century A.D.

Terms:

1. Bikkurim:  First fruit offering of the farmer’s produce (first fruit to blossom on the vine)
2. Terumah: First fruit offering that is high and lifted up, presented to the Cohen, Rabbi or Spiritual Authority that is speaking the Kingdom of God into your life.
3. Maaser Rishon:  First tithe brought to the storehouse where you are fed whether it is a church, ministry, home group, etc.
4. Maaser Sheni:  Second tithe to yourself.  God cares as much about your savings account as He does about His own house.
5. Maaser Ani:  Tithe to poor, homeless, widows, or orphans.  It is part of the second tithe.  Every third time, you pay your second tithe to the poor in lieu of Maaser Sheni.
6. Free will offerings and giving of Alms are also an optional part of God’s divine system of giving.  They are not covered in this summary document.

Terumah Simplified: 

Step one:  Give your Terumah/first fruits offering.  Terumah is 1/40th or 2.5% of your total increase.

Step two:  Give your Maaser Rishon. The first tithe is 10% of your total increase.

Step three:  Give your Maaser Sheni/ Maaser Ani.  This is based on your net income after Terumah and the first tithe are taken out.  The first two times this tithe goes to your savings account.  The third time you pay this tithe, you give it to the poor, homeless, widows or orphans.

Practical example on $1000 gross increase: 

Terumah equals $25.00.

Maaser Rishon (first tithe) equal 10% of $975 ($1000 – $25) which equals $97.50.

Maaser Sheni/Ani (second tithe) equals 10% of the $1000 gross minus your Terumah and the first tithe.

Therefore, your second tithe total would be $1000 minus $25 Terumah minus $97.50 first tithe for a total of a total second tithe gross amount of $877.50.  This would result in a net amount of $87.75 for your second tithe.

The whole system is referred to colloquially as Terumah.  Terumah is mentioned 80 times In the original Hebrew texts of the Old Testament.

For example, in the Hebrew, Malachi 3:8 “tithes” is (Maaser) and the word translated “offerings” is the word “Terumah.”  The Jewish people of Constantine’s day had 4% of the population and 40% of the wealth because of Terumah.  This was the main reason Constantine started the income tax system in 325 A.D., according to the Nicene Fathers.  The meaning of Terumah was gradually changed by the state church to be first prayer of the day.  When the King James translators encountered Terumah in 1611, they did not know its roots in Hebraic history or true meaning.

Terumah is the way the Hebrew people and early Christians handled their money and prospered.  There was no question about it.  Terumah/first fruits was also made mention of by Jesus, Paul and Jude.  It applies not only to finances but also to many other principals, temporal and spiritual.  The bottom line is that everyone we have personally seen embrace this biblically based system of giving/living has seen blessings and immediate results.
