Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
You are to freely give of the gifts that were freely given to you. You do not sow seed to receive blessings or to learn advanced prayer. You do not pay to be healed or anything else. A person who truly has the gifts will distribute them freely.
A workman is worthy of his meat/food. Yes, a person should have his basic needs provided by those he ministers to, but the gifts are free. We are to be content with food and clothing and they are mentioned here. No largest mansions in LA or multiple jets.
Quit making those who sell the gifts of the Spirit rich. Indeed, it may not be the Spirit that they are working in, but rather dark spirits or seducing spirits teaching doctrines of devils.
Acts 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
The Spirit cannot be bought or sold! It is an abomination! But, you may say that I should look at their miracles.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Yes, miracles can happen that are not of God so be discerning. The anti-Christ will come with such great wonders that IF it were possible they will deceive the very elect. That means they look good, but they are not of God. Do not send another dime to charlatans and soothsayers.
Get in the Book! Seek discernment and walk away. No, run for your soul and the souls of your family.
