No Claim, No Gain: On Your Taxes and on God’s Promises

By Marilou L. Filoteo

This book has two main objectives, the first is to show practical ways to save more of the money you earn by claiming your legal right to the tax deductions and the tax credits. And, as a believer you have the right to claim His promises in the Bible, every bit as much as you have the right to claim those deductions and tax credits in the Tax Code. Definitely not a one-time read. Take this book with you every where you go. Lots of people today see God as just a mere slice of the pie, not the whole pie. For many, God is just a department in the school of life. Quite the reverse view of GOD’s Kingdom. So this book points out the real ONE as being in-charge. Talk to Him and write your journals, just like keeping the books of the whole Chart of Accounts. Without Him this General Ledger will never be balanced. The P&L will always be on the red. See inside the process flowchart of the way to gain the benefits as a BELIEVER.

PREFACE

Faithful is He Who Promised.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, For He who promised is faithful.

It all started from putting up a website for God. It has been over 11 years since I had this website up, www.GodHearMe.org back in May 2008. I remember it took me a long, long time to develop this. No, not the how but the what. What is purpose of this website, what will be the message, and what are the pages to put up for? I thought I heard Him telling me to do one, which I easily agreed because it was within my skill set at that time as a certified web-and-application developer. I thought that was easy, but I was so wrong. So I asked God again, Maybe I did not hear you right, Lord, do you want a website from me? Still a YES, I felt it in my heart. Alright, my spiritual background back then, if these were enough, included: Going to church on Sundays or Saturdays, sometimes reading Bible verses and at times watching TV preachers. With no formal ministry training, this task was definitely difficult if not impossible. Okay, there was the Internet and Google, so anyway I started it. Yes, I struggled, had sleepless nights, and prayed, then ideas came and I got more confident. Before I knew it, wow, I finished it! I showed it to a few friends and family, and they liked it. That was encouraging.

Then together with a prayer partner, we started a prayer group in Facebook called Prayer Warriors of God-Hear-Me. People posting their prayer requests as well as me and other members of the group. I found more prayer partners who were as enthusiastic to serve the Lord as I was. While seeking God’s words, I came to learn more and more of His promises and how they affect our daily lives. I want to share them with you thru this book.

Last June, 2019, God Hear Me Ministry LLC was legally formed. It is all in the hands of God where He will take this newly formed organization. An organization whose main purpose is to glorify God and to prosper His Kingdom. God bless you all!
