 So please tell us your name and where are you from? My name is Sam, and I'm from here Pasco, Washington And what is your testimony that you want to share with us today? My testimony is on last week's sermon of when Pastor Vlad was talking about tipping and tithing Pretty much. I was just a tipper at that point. I was never a tither What do you mean by tipping? After I get my check I would pay all my bills do whatever I wanted was my money And then I come to church and give them whatever was left over and yeah, and okay You got the sermon So what was your kind of like a current situation of last week your financial? you know as You were going through I had given up a smoking marijuana about like two months ago, and I Figured you know from going to spending 300 to 400 bucks a month. I would have all that extra money and I Didn't have an extra any extra money. I was even more Broke than I was when I was smoking and I Don't know. I just I was taking that money from sin and I was not giving it to God So I was just I was not getting any of that fruit back So I figured something had to change and so this Wednesday last Wednesday as Pastor last was talking about tithing and What happened on that service that night? we prayed we paid on on our finances and I Had made the decision to give even though that night. I was I was negative in my account I made the decision to I was gonna I was gonna do anything I could to give my money to give that 10% to God and So I did I went home and I prayed that night again and the next day I got another bill and this was the third day I get paid on Friday, so I stood in out no money I got another bill and I was pretty upset that whole day. I was I was at work and I just kept praying I was like this is I can't I can't I can't afford another bill and Maybe an hour or two so later my boss calls me and says we need to have a talk So I was like, okay now I'm in trouble. This is only going getting worse so We met we started talking and it was my annual review. I wasn't even expecting a raise for my job. I was We at 1324 that's as much as I can max out our company could not go any higher than that So we started talking. I was only expecting the 20 cent raise at most We kept talking and then when he gave me my raise It was a 56 cent raise which took me to 1350 dollars at that time and I had asked them I was like, well what happened? I thought it was at 1324 is where we maxed out He couldn't even give me a straight answer. He just said I don't know something with the company is where they raised They raised that and you could make even more on top of that. So I mean and at that time I was like, this is this is God. He heard me and he He's giving back to me even though with when I made that decision to give him money even though at that time I still hadn't given anything just knowing that I was gonna give him when I got my check and I was gonna tie He blessed me with this great blessing So on ways that you came with no money to give on the offering basket It's okay though, but as as soon as you made a decision God already provided your breakthrough. Is that correct? Yes, so we know that it's not Friday anymore. You got pre and Friday. It's Sunday now. So have you given your tides? Yeah, the very first thing I got my paycheck and it was a lot bigger even than I was expecting So I mean he's working amazing things and I mean I gave my tides immediately and usually I'd be like man I could definitely spend this on other things, but that didn't even cross my mind It was just I'm giving it to him because I know he's gonna give me so much more than what I'm giving him So what is your advice to the tippers instead of the titles this morning? Everyone who was in the same same situation as me just tipping, you know coming with the last of your money I I encourage you to definitely tie tiding It's I mean it's brought me this and I can't I can't wait to see what else is gonna bring in my life
