0:43.1 | the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. What |
0:49.2 | imagery? God is saying that giving. So follow this. Giving is not just for God's glory. Although |
0:57.7 | it's definitely for that. Giving is not just for others good, though it's definitely for that. |
1:03.2 | Giving is for our good. You just see. God says, I'm going to show you, I'm going to open the |
