And Anne Grimes agrees.
- I think I was born with apan and a spoon in my hand.
(laughs)
By the time I was nine, I wasbaking cakes for neighbors,
and had a business going.
- [Narrator] Anne's loveof cooking continued
after she married.
She and her husbandstarted a local bakery.
But after a few years, jobsin her town were scarce,
and the people there moved out.
- All of a sudden, the town just dried up.
And so, there was verylittle business there, and,
we decided to just put ourbusinesses up for sale and leave.
Just before we left Southport,
Brian received baptism in the Holy Spirit,
and, just became a totally different man,
in how he felt about God.
- [Narrator] Soon, Anne had her own
life-changing experience.
- You know, I said,
(breathes out)
thank you, Jesus.
Because I realized atthat point just how I felt
was a special thing.
- [Narrator] Anne says theirspiritual transformation
affected everything,
including their finances.
They began tithing.
Tithing is so important in the sense
of, it just releases God'sblessings into your life.
- [Narrator] And then,with her newfound faith,
Anne asked God for financial ideas.
- I had a vision one day back there
of a rolling pin with dough.
And so, I thought ah, that's what it is.
God wants me to open another bakery.
- [Narrator] So the Grimesopened The Rolling Pin.
- And, at that point, God saiddon't make any more donuts.
Don't make anymore cakes, andI went over a period of weeks,
and we got down to wherethe only thing I actually
was making was the pastry.
- [Narrator] Soon The RollingPin was selling pastry
to grocery stores,restaurants, and wholesalers.
Before long, sales went through the roof.
- Oh my goodness.
200-fold, 300-fold, I mean, you know.
God's in the multiplication business, so.
(laughs)
It's a lot.
- [Narrator] The Rolling Pin has expanded
to become Harvest Time Foods,
a company that sends Anne'sold-fashioned food products
around the world.
Every box sold containsa scripture as a thanks
to the God who opened doorsbecause of her giving.
- If we give abundantly,we get abundantly.
And, this is just God's principle.
It's one of His promises to us, and,
we speak God's promises intoour lives, into our business.
God is our supplier.
He's our source.
And, as long as we look toHim as a source for all,
and give into the kingdom of God,
He's going to provide for you.
So, I just say thank you God.
