STOP GIVING MONEY ;
DECREE START OPENING LEGAL PORTALS
-HERE'S WHY-
The Tithe Isn't About Giving-lt's About Opening Legal Portals (Malachi Decoded)
Tithing doesn't move God's heart. It moves demonic blockages over your finances.
It's not generosity.
It's spiritual warfare.
I know that just rattled some of you. Good.
Stay with me because by the end of this teaching, the way you think about your mind, your money, and your spiritual authority is going to be completely demolished and rebuilt on the Word of God.
Because here's the problem.
Most believers have been treating the symptoms while the disease runs free.
You've been going to counseling to heal thoughts that don't need healing.
You've been journaling feelings that don't need processing.
You've been meditating on your trauma when God has commanded you to meditate on His Word.
And the church has handed you a coping mechanism, when God already gave you a weapon.
Your thoughts don't need therapy. They need eviction.
And your finances don't need a budget. They heed the enforcer, the blood covenant reality that Satan has been hiding from you since the day you got born again.
Today we are going to break this open. We are going to go into the Word of God and into the reality of what it means to be a new creation.
Not a patched up sinner, not a rehabilitated failure, but a brand new species of being who has the legal right to cast out thoughts the way Jesus cast out demons. Are you ready?
Then let's go. Chapter 1. The battlefield is not where you think it is. The church has been fighting the wrong war for decades. The church has told you that spiritual warfare is about the devil attacking you from the outside. It's about what's happening in your circumstances, your finance, your health, your relationships.
And while there is truth in recognizing demonic opposition, the primary battlefield, the one, the enemy guards most viciously, is not your bank account, not your body, and not your marriage. It is your mind. Romans 1:22 says, "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Notice what Paul did not say. He did not say transformed by the renewing of your spirit. Because when you got born again, your spirit was instantly and completely renewed. 2 Corinthians 5:17, declares therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold all things have become new.
Spirit is not the problem Your spirit is perfect, complete sealed and indwelt by the Holy Ghost but your mind, your soloulish realm is still running on old software and that old software is what the enemy exploits, every single day.
In the hidden man.
And I want you to hear this carefully. The senses have dominated us and given us a sense knowledge world, a sense knowledge religion, a sense knowledge god. What I am saying is that most believers never get beyond what they can see, feel, taste, touch, and smell. They live in the sense realm. And the sense realm is the devil's playground. The devil cannot touch your recreated spirit that is sealed with the Holy Spirit according to Ephesians 1:13. But he can bombard your mind with thoughts, with fears, with accusations, with memories, with imaginations that have nothing to do with who you are in Christ. And if those thoughts go unchallenged, they become strongholds.
And strongholds become the lenses through which you interpret your entire life.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God, for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, pulling down, casting down, bringing into captivity."
This is not passive language. This is not therapy language. This is warfare language. This is eviction language.
The question is not whether you have the authority to evict these thoughts. You do.
The question is whether you know it and whether you are willing to enforce it.
Chapter 2. What the new creation actually means for your mind.
Here is where most teaching on the mind falls flat. They quote Romans 1:2.
They tell you to renew your mind and then they give you a 30 day devotional and call it a day, but nobody goes back far enough to explain what the new creation actually did to your capacity for mind renewal. So, let's go there right now. When you were born again, God did not improve your old self. He did not take the old sinful nature, dust it off, patch the holes, and send it back.
No.
John 3:6 says, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit."
There was a literal spiritual birth, a new spirit, a recreated spirit came into existence inside of you," K
I said, in the new kind of love. And this will shake some of you. The new creation is not an improved man. It is a new species, a being that never existed before. Let that sink in.
You are not an upgraded human. You are a new kind of being, a spirit being wrapped in a body with the life of God. What the Greeks called Zoe living in you. Zoe, that's the word. Not bios, that's biological life, animal life, human life. Zoe is the life of God Himself, the resurrection life, the uncreated life that was in the beginning. And 1 John 5:11-12 tells us, and this is the testimony that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life.
That Zoe life is now in your spirit.
Now here's the critical connection that most believers miss. If Zoe life is in your spirit and your spirit is the real you and your mind is the interface between your spirit and your body, then mind renewal is not about getting new thoughts from the outside. It is about learning to receive revelation from the inside.
I taught that there are two kinds of knowledge. Sense knowledge and revelation knowledge.
Sense knowledge comes through the five senses. what you can observe, measure, and experience.
Revelation knowledge comes through the spirit, through the Word of God, through the Holy Spirit, through the inward witness of the recreated human spirit.
The tragedy of the modern church today is that we have an entire generation of believers who are trying to renew their minds with sense knowledge.
They're meditating on their feelings.
They're affirming their emotions.
They're processing their trauma through the lens of what happened to them instead of the lens of who they are in Christ. And then they wonder why they're not free.
You cannot renew your mind with the same system that corrupted it.
You cannot think your way to freedom using thoughts generated from the sense realm.
The only thing that has the power to transform a sense knowledge mind into a revelation knowledge mind is the Word of God declared, meditated, spoken, and received by faith.
Joshua 1: 8 says, "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success. "
Meditate in Hebrew that word is haga. It means to mutter, to murmur, to speak to yourself, to rehearse aloud. It is not silent contemplation.
It is vocal declaration. the word in your mouth repeatedly, relentlessly until it goes from your head into your heart, from mental ascent to heart faith.
Common Confusion: Ascent vs. Assent
Ascent (with a "c") means a climb or upward movement.
Assent (with double "s") means agreement or approval.
This is the beginning of true mind renewal. And it is not passive.
Chapter 3, mental ascent versus heart faith, the great deception.
Now, I need to step on some toes here because this is perhaps the most common failure mode in Christianity today. and almost nobody is talking about it.
Mental ascent. Mental ascent is when you agree with the Word of God in your head, but it has never dropped into your heart.
You say, "I believe Jesus healed me." And you mean it intellectually. But the moment you feel a symptom, you go running to fear.
You say, "I believe God will provide." And you mean it theoretically. But when the bill comes, anxiety has its boot on your neck.
That is mental ascent. And I was devastatingly precise about this.
In the two kinds of faith:
Mental ascent says, "I believe the Bible is true." Heart faith says, "What the Bible says about me is true, right now."
Mental ascent admires the Word. Heart faith acts on the Word.
Do you see the difference?
Mental ascent is the spectator in the stadium. Heart faith is the player on the field.
And here's the devastating truth.
Mental ascent will not renew your mind. You can agree with every scripture in the Bible from your head and still be tormented by fear, defeated by sign consciousness, and paralyzed by doubt. Because agreement without action is not faith.
And knowledge without confession is not covenant reality. Romans 10:10 declares, "For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Heart, mouth, those two things working together. The heart believes, not the mind, not the emotions, the heart, the deepest part of your recreated spirit. And the mouth confesses 🗣️, not just privately, not just in prayer, but as a declaration of what you believe is already true.
Here's what they won't teach you in seminary. Your confession of faith is not trying to convince God of something.
God already knows what He put in His Word. Your confession of faith is convincing your own heart. You are speaking the Word until your inner man rises up in agreement with what God has already declared.
Hebrews 4:12 says, "For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit.
The Word divides it, separates the soulish realm from the spirit realm. Soulish is an adjective that relates to the soul, human consciousness, or the emotional and psychological realm rather than the purely physical or strictly spiritual.
The Word cuts through the mental ascent and reaches down into the heart where transformation actually happens.
So when we talk about evicting wrong thoughts, we are not talking about positive thinking. We are not talking about self-hypnosis.
We are talking about the active intentional vocal declaration of revelation knowledge that cuts through sense knowledge and replants the heart in God's reality.
This is why some of you have been stuck for years. You've been trying to think your way out of depression.
You've been trying to reason your way out of fear. When God said, "Declare your way out."
Chapter 4, the hidden man who must rise.
First Peter 3:4 speaks of the hidden man of the heart. That phrase alone could occupy a seminary course for a semester.
But let me give you the revelation in plain language.
You are a three-part being.
You are a spirit. You have a soul. You live in a body.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 makes this explicit. Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely. And may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Your spirit is the real you. The part that was born again. The part that is righteous, whole, sealed, and complete in Christ.
Colossians 2:10 says, "And you are complete in HIM who is the Head of all principality and power."
Complete, right now, in your spirit.
Your soul is your mind, your will, and your emotions. This is the part that is being renewed.
The part that Ephesians 4:23 commands to be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
Your body is the earth suit, the temporary vehicle that houses this eternal spirit.
Now, here is the tragedy that I identified in most believers.
The body and the soul are running the show. The feelings are making the decisions. The five senses are providing the evidence.
And the spirit, the hidden man of the heart, the recreated spirit that carries the Zoe life of God is buried under layers of sense dominated living.
The hidden man. The spirit of man is the real you. The body is simply the house in which you live.
The tragedy is that most men live in the house and ignore the man inside.
Most believers live from the outside in.
They let their circumstances dictate their inner reality.
They let their feelings define their identity.
They let their bank account determine their faith level.
But the new creation is designed to live from the inside out. Comforting, reassuring tone.
Brother, sister, listen to me. Inside of you right now, there is a spirit that is not defeated.
There is a spirit that is not sick.
There is a spirit that is not poor.
There is a spirit that carries the resurrection life of Jesus Christ.
There is a spirit that is the righteousness of God.
2 Corinthians 5:21. For HE made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in HIM.
You are the righteousness of God. Not you're trying to become not. Not you will be when you get your act together.
You are, right now, in your spirit the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
And the hidden man of the heart, that recreated spirit is crying out to be heard above the noise of your emotions, above the shouting of your circumstances, above the accusations of the enemy.
Mind renewal is how you let him out. It is how you stop the body and soul from dominating. And you start living from the spirit outward. It is how the hidden man becomes the visible man, the dominant force in your life.
Chapter 5, the tithing connection, spiritual warfare over your finances.
Now, let's come back to the book 📖 Bible that opened this teaching because this is not a throw away statement.
This is one of the most misunderstood realities in the body of Christ.
Tithing doesn't move God's heart. It moves demonic blockages over your finances.
I want to be theologically precise here.
Does tithing please God? Absolutely. Malachi 3:10 is clear. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse that there may be food in my house and try me now in this, says the Lord of Hosts. if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.
But the part of that verse that the prosperity preachers cherrypick and the poverty preachers ignore is the next verse.
And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground.
The devourer, the enemy, the demonic entity assigned to consume your increase before it ever reaches your hands.
Here's what they won't tell you from most pulpits in organized denominational churches.
Your financial problem is not primarily an economic problem. It is not primarily a budgeting problem. It is a spiritual warfare problem.
There is a demonic assignment against the finances of God's covenant people.
And most believers are not enforcing the covenant that gives them authority over that assignment.
You see, the tithe is not a transaction with God.
God does not need your 10%.
The God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills, who spoke galaxies into existence, who holds the atoms of the universe in the palm of His hand, He does not need your money.
What the tithe does is position you in covenant. And covenant creates legal authority.
Ratified means officially approved, validated, or given legal force by a person.
The blood covenant that Jesus ratified gives you legal standing in the spirit realm to resist, rebuke, and cast out the spirit of lack, spirit of poverty, and spirit of financial destruction.
But you cannot enforce a covenant you don't know you have.
And you cannot use a weapon you've never picked up.
This is the mind renewal connection. Your financial transformation begins in your thought life. If your mind is dominated by lack consciousness, poverty mindedness, fear of insufficiency, then even if you tithe faithfully, even if you sow generously, the harvest will be strangled in the field of your own unbelief.
Proverbs 2:37 says, "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he."
Not as he tithes, not as he prays, but only " as he thinks in his heart."
This is why mind renewal is not optional. It is not a spiritual bonus feature. It is the master key to every area of your covenant life, including your finances.
Chapter 6, eviction.
Notice how to actually cast out wrong thoughts. Enough diagnosis. Let's talk about the cure.
Because what I've noticed in the worldwide church is that we are very good at explaining the problem and very soft on the solution. They will spend 45 minutes telling you what's wrong and then give you a vague. Just trust God as the answer. Not today. If your thoughts don't need healing, if they need eviction, then we need to understand what an eviction actually looks like in the spirit.
2 Corinthians 10:5 gives us the mandate, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. Bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
There are three actions here. Casting down, bringing into captivity, making obedient to Christ. These are active, forceful, deliberate actions. This is not a passive, let go and let God situation.
This is putting on your spiritual armor and getting to work.
Here is what casting down a thought actually looks like in practice.
A thought comes, you're never going to get out of debt. That is a thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. Because the knowledge of God says in Philippians 4:19, "And my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." So, you do not ruminate on that thought. You do not analyze it. You do not try to figure out where it came from or process the feeling it produces. You cast it down. You say 🗣️ out loud and I mean out loud with your mouth using your words because this is a voice activated covenant.
You say, 🗣️:"I cast down that lyıng thought in the name of Jesus Christ. I am a covenant child of the Most High God. My God supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory. financial lack has no authority over my life."
And then, and this is the part people skip, you replace it. You don't just evict the thought. You occupy the space with revelation knowledge. Because Matthew 12 :43-45 makes clear that an empty house becomes a target. The spirit of fear, lack, and anxiety will return if you do not fill that space with the Word.
{Matthew 12: ⁴³ “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. ⁴⁴ Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. ⁴⁵ Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”}
And listen, I know some of you are thinking, "But I've tried that. I've confessed the Word and I still feel the same."
Brother, sister, hear me on this.
The feeling is not the evidence. The feeling is the last thing to change.
Your spirit man receives the Word immediately. Your soul processes it over time. Your body, your circumstances, changes last.
You are not confessing the Word to change how you feel. You are confessing the Word to change your heart.
And when your heart changes, your feelings will follow. And when your feelings follow your heart, your actions change. And when your actions change, your circumstances change. This is the progression. This is the process.
And it requires patience. Not passive waiting but active confessing 🗣️ Word, saturated patience.
I said in the Bible, in the light of our redemption, a man's confession imprisons him or sets him free.
Your words are the boundaries of your world. Let that sink in.
Your confession, what comes out of your mouth consistently day after day is literally drawing the fence lines of your life.
And most believers are fencing themselves in with words of doubt, fear, and lack.
Chapter 7, righteousness consciousness versus sin consciousness.
We cannot talk about mind renewal without addressing what might be the single greatest blockage to mental and spiritual freedom in the church today. Sin consciousness.
This is the spiritual disease that keeps believers perpetually focused on what they've done wrong rather than what Christ has done right on their behalf.
It is the mental and emotional atmosphere of guilt, condemnation, an unworthiness that masquerades as humility, but is actually unbelief.
Romans 8:1 declares, and I want you to read this slowly. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.
THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION TO THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO DO NOT WALK ACCORDING TO THE. FLESH, BUT ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT.
No condemnation, zero. None. Zip.
Not reduced condemnation. Not condemnation except for your really bad sins. not condemnation put on hold until you clean up your act.
No condemnation now to those who are in Christ Jesus.
And yet walk into most churches in your country and you will find believers who are perpetually haunted by their past, perpetually uncertain of their standing with God, perpetually performing spiritual hoops to earn what was already freely given. That is not humility. That is sin consciousness.
And sin consciousness is the devil's most effective tool to neutralize the believer.
Here's why sin consciousness is so deadly to mind renewal.
You cannot renew your mind toward a God you
