I want you to look carefully at your hands. . .they represent much more than skin and bones. Before taxes, before any other expenditures, we are to give. It's the very first thing that we're to do with our finances. So giving's to be a priority. 2. Giving is to be done proportionally. Principle number two: The giving is to be done proportionally. Meaning that we give according to what God has given to us. God has already provided His healing power and placed it on the inside of every born-again believer. It is up to us to release it.

Look at how Peter and John ministered healing to the lame man in Acts 3:1-8: "Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the
