Whatever you relinquish to Me, I can replenish. Think of Hannah and how she relinquished her first born son to Me. I replenished her with many more children. Think about Abraham and how he was willing to relinquish his first born son to Me as a sacrifice. I replenished him by blessing him with so many offspring that they were more than the number of the sands of the sea and the stars in the sky.
Think about Job and the many trials that he experienced. He gave his children to me daily in prayer and all of his belongings. When tragedy struck at the hand of satan, it looked like the end for him. Then the rest of his story is all about replenishing. I gave him double for everything he lost. You may say, but I did not give him double for the children he lost. He lost seven children and I gave him seven more instead of fourteen. The reason why I only gave him seven was because the seven who he lost were with Me in heaven. He already had fourteen children - seven in heaven and seven on earth.
When you hold lightly to everything that you consider precious and give it to Me, I can give you a double blessing. When you hold tightly to what you consider precious, My blessings will not flow in your life. Release all to Me and see how I will open the windows of heaven to bless you.
