What is the idea behind this book, and why did you write it?
The basic idea of The God Pocket is that God, when He hears people praying with a financial need, wants to help them. He could make money and float it down from heaven, or he could send an angel with some extra cash, but he doesn't do either of those. He wants to partner with people to move in their hearts to give.How do you tell a "God nudge"?
The basic idea comes from 1 Timothy, when Paul tells Timothy he wants people to be ready to give and willing to share.
Most people don't understand that God alerts us from heaven of what he wants us to do. 10 out of 1000 people will respond to God's nudging. That's 9990 times that we don't respond.
That's a good question. I was speaking on that last night. If you don't know what methods God uses, you'll miss what he's trying to tell you.Do we need to get more accustomed to God nudges?
A nudge is God moving you to do something unexpected. There are nudges all over Acts. A nudge interrupts you life. It makes you wish you had more information. It's very clear. It makes you uncomfortable. Those are the characteristics of a nudge.
People everywhere have them, a lot, because God is trying to tap on their hearts. God will interrupt your thoughts, to let you know that it wasn't your thought.
People are afraid it might be Satan, but unless it's something sinful, it's not Satan.
We do. And we need to understand the fact that nudges make everyone feel uncomfortable.
Because when you understand that this is how God interacts with people, you are more likely to respond.
The Bible says it is more blessed to give than to receive. When people understand that it wasn't exaggerating, that it really is more blessed to give, they're going to do great things.
