I just cannot believe the days in which we are living in when I see with my own 2 eyes this stuff going on in the church. So, let's say I am turning a year in my 60's in a few days and I put out a request to honor me with all the years I may have blessed via this blog, personal prayer and deliverance ministry in your lives. Let's say maybe 100.00 for each year I am alive that would be a good amount of money to raise wouldn't it be? All because I was born and lived and did what Holy Spirit prompted me to do. How does that merit you giving me money to honor my life and furthermore, even for years in which I was not actually ministering while growing up. I think this concept is absurd and the emotional draw on all of this is they use words like let's "honor" so and so to pull at your heart strings.
I have also seen the pleas for certain anniversaries one would be experiencing in their ministry too. The latest one though has me a bit perplexed. So, you feel the Lord is directing you to sell your home and purchase another. Really, putting out a plea to donate to make this happen for the minister? I know this because I experienced the later. I was receiving in emails that were sent with ministry attached to the email. I ordered and paid for a ministry item only to find out it was no longer available. The easiest way for me was to just say instead of refunding the 10.00 just apply it towards the house. This stuff exists out there.
Philippians 4:19 KJV states "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." So why then pleas to people/followers to bring in funds to you if God is supposed to supply your needs and He is speaking to your life about direction/change in the ministry and your own personal life? Baffles me does it baffle you also? I just wonder if there may be a case of mismanagement of ministry funds that prompts these pleas to come forth, just saying? Maybe there are people within the ministry that are "cooking the books" or pilferage is going on within the ministry unbeknownst to the main minister? If I am wondering about such stuff, then I am sure others must be too. Another lightbulb moment going on right now, do they ever share the total amount of money that was actually donated/raised by the ministry. Why not, shouldn't you be held accountable to not only God but the very donors that gave to the campaign.
How does this work tax wise then, is it listed as a tax-deductible donation or a gift to the ministry? I think I have some good questions do you agree? Better yet ... does the money then go to the individual minister for their own personal needs or is it then placed within the ministry funding account? Why, why, why does the church have to get on the bandwagon of the world ways? Is it out of greed or mismanagement of personal funds of the minister. When I bring forth a prophetic word of encouragement or teach others via my own learning curves learned I do not attach a dollar amount to it. I do not expect payment in the mail either from sharing what I have within me ministry wise. It was freely given to me by Holy Spirit to share with others. If I am given a beautiful strand of pearls as a gift but never open up the gift, what use are they to me. A gift freely given for me to enjoy but I can't because I never opened up the gift to enjoy them. Hum sounds a bit like the free gift of salvation. Given freely to all that accept Jesus into their hearts so no man can boast about it. I know this is heavy subject matter to discuss today but someone sure needs to discuss this.
I found this the other day and it now hangs on the window in one of my rooms, simply stated, "If you see something BEAUTIFUL in someone ... tell them!" I speak forth right now that even in death a person can be vindicated when wrongly accused of things. God will not allow His anointed ones to be blamed for things they did not do, and the truth will be exposed and expelled too to bring greater glory to God. See, the one you happen to be taking the side of over the other will also be revealed, exposed & expelled because God is cleaning up His church. Do you ever wonder if the blessing began to stop flowing and curses began to flow in your life from the moment you chose to take the side you took? I'm just saying. How can God Almighty bless deception and tugging at the heart strings because of the stories being told by a female person. I have had too many prophetic dreams exposing this sort of stuff and then receiving confirmation when sharing the dream without actually knowing the behind-the-scenes knowledge. Only God can do that, only God.
