Hi John,
What a blessing you and your wife are!
Yes, tithe to wherever you feel spiritually fed. If giving
to those in need supports you in 'feeling' like you are
making a difference AND you are completely detached to
where/how they spend the money then you are giving with
aligned intentions and that's what counts! Tithing, as it
relates to greater abundance, works because it's showing the
Universe that you know that you are unlimited and that your
wealth is limitless. When you tithe from an aligned place
of confidence, you send forth a vibration of trust, faith,
and certainty that resonates with prosperity; you send forth
a magnetic beacon that says you KNOW that your source and
supply is not the money in your hand that you are giving
away but the endless and immediate, never-ending supply of
lavish prosperity that comes from your consciousness of the
Divine within, as your source and supply.
In Paula Langguth Ryan's book, "Giving Thanks: The Art of
Tithing". She addresses the issue of 'charity vs. tithing'
and the confusion around 'where and when it's appropriate to
tithe'.
She writes, "Whatever name you call the gifts you give
freely, cheerfully, joyfully and willingly, keep giving them
with grateful thanksgiving and you will find yourself firmly
in the flow of abundance."
We don't need to make our 'giving or tithing' complicated!
Simply give to the people, places, or things that support
you in expressing the Truth of your Divine Inheritance -
that you are an unlimited child of God with unlimited
resources and that your source and supply is instant and
immediate.
Simultaneously, choose to be mindful and honor your current
'reality and beliefs' of financial growth. This means you
don't want to overspend or make purchases on credit cards to
display your 'new belief'. This will most likely only
engage the energy of debt, lack and poverty consciousness
and that's the opposite of what you want.
By taking aligned actions that are in balance with both
abundant prosperity and your current state of acknowledged
reality, you will consistently grow your prosperity
consciousness and thereby grow your flow and materialization
of abundance.

This isn't working! I can't manifest prosperity and I'm feeling hopeless - help!?
Hi Anisa,
I am trying very hard to manifest 'getting out of debt' and
back on the road to prosperity. I am very ready to enjoy
the freedom of not having to dread another bill through the
door or endure sleepless nights anticipating the bank
manager's letter to say you are in the 'red' again!!
I have worked with EFT recently and even paid L70.00 to have
a one to one session. I am on EFT lists and do the (EFT and
Prosperity) instructions they send, but this is just not
working! I know probably more blocks, although tempting to
pay more money to look for the 'promise' of prosperity, I am
in a situation that I have no space on a credit card to do
it and more to the point, I've lost the faith that it
works......what advice do you have for me and probably
others like me who just want to get ahead in the prosperity
race??? - Thanks, K.
Stephanie, a wise law of attraction friend and subscriber
recently emailed,
"For me..."knowing" (that you're going to get what you want)
is truly the most important thing. If you don't believe
100% that your dreams are a possibility, then they might not
be! Hoping or wishing is NEVER enough! You don't have to
know how you're going to get what you want, just know you
are and it will come to you! Good luck to you!" - Stephanie

Right now, if the words in your question are any indication
(and I believe they are), what you 'KNOW' is that you have
pink-slips, sleepless nights, worry about debt, loss of
faith, maxed out credit cards and hopelessness.
Unfortunately, if we focus on 'getting out of debt' what we
get is 'more debt'. If you are telling the Universe that
what you want is 'the freedom of NOT having to dread another
bill' then what you get is 'dreading another bill' because
that's where your knowing, your focus, and your dominant
thoughts are.
It is impossible to manifest abundance from a place of
'dreading the next bill'. There's simply no way around this
fact.
In my experience, when I 'think' I've been working really
hard at clearing my limiting beliefs and utilizing the law
of attraction and it's just 'not working', I set myself down
for a good, stern lecture. Because, inevitably, I'm not
doing all that I can do and it's time to step up to the
plate, get serious about my goals and take my commitment to
the next level or even the next. It's time to see it
through!
When I get to the place of frustration, exacerbation (a
serious increase in the negative), or even fear, anger, or
doubt - it's time to have a spiritual temper tantrum!
Here's an example of a spiritual temper tantrum --- what I
might say to myself:
"Okay, Anisa. Here you are - NOT where you want to be and
complaining loudly about how unfair this is and how you want
something else! I got it! Go ahead - whine, complain, moan
and groan and get it all out - right now! Because,
immediately following this 'gripe session', you are on a
strict mental diet. NO MORE whining and complaining! NO
MORE victim mentality! You better get all that negativity
out NOW because starting immediately; you will ONLY partake
of positive, connected, spiritual, Divine thoughts
acknowledging the TRUTH that you are unlimited.
You will ONLY partake of aligned thoughts and emotions that
all is well, all is in Divine Order and that I always get
what I want. Do you hear me, Anisa - YOU ALWAYS GET WHAT
YOU WANT AND LIFE ALWAYS WORKS OUT FOR YOU!!!!
You will ONLY partake of conversations that uplift you,
inspire you, motivate you and give you absolute faith,
confidence, hope and optimism.
And, you will start taking serious, committed action! No
more sitting on the couch 'wishing' your dreams will come
true. No more inaction on any level!
You will take spiritual action by re-committing to daily
meditation and prayer. You will write down what you want
God to provide for you and you will pray, ask for and then
detach from the outcome, daily. You will list all those
negative doubts and systematically walk through their
release using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). Then, you
will launch the opposite of those 'limiting beliefs' by
creating daily rain dances that tell the Universe what I
want and what I am ready, open, willing, and confident that
I will receive!
Then, you will take two action steps every day to MAKE
something happen. The Law of Reciprocity says that you must
give in order to receive! Therefore, starting now, I will
give, give, and give by taking committed physical action
towards my goal every day without fail.
I love, accept and forgive you, Anisa. You have done the
very best that you could up until this point. You were born
for greatness - and it's time to start acting like it. It's
time to take your power back and claim your Divine
Birthright to unlimited wealth, health, love, joy, and
passion. It is your birthright - step up and take the
throne now!"
My advice is to not worry about what you don't know that may
be preventing you from 'manifesting prosperity' and start
focusing on what you do KNOW. You have the tools necessary
to create a positive change and manifest the free-flowing
abundance you desire. Accept that it's time to step up your
commitment and do the 'work'. Be faithful, persistent, and
committed and it WILL pay off.
