Once upon a time in a land far far away called Facebook, I became friend happy, the more friends I could pick the more conversations I could have. Let me tell you I didn't know what I was in store for ( now this shows my ignorance). I chose friends because they were Christians, what I didn't realize was that most people from foreign countries had there hand out. If you said you can't, they never spoke to you anymore until they forgot who you were then they would ask again. There first question to you on chat is "hello how are you?", answer (fine) next question. Are you a pastor? Answer Yes. Would you be part of my ministry with you ? Before I could answer they would ask for money, I would explain to them that we are a small church a we support a ministry called Truth Ministries for Haiti. Some get so angry they say if you can give them you can give me and some are very persistent. In your heart they make you feel bad because you can't support them also. I have come to learn do what you can for the Lord, and everything else will take care of it's self. The Lord ask us to try the spirits to find out wither they are good or bad, because everything that satan (I don't ever capitalize the name) does is almost never in the likeness of ugly, but TV and Halloween makes him out to be evil in looks, my question is would he be able to trick you if he came to you that way? It's usually something beautiful that entices you. Now don't get me wrong I am not saying that all things beautiful are bad. Remember satan is the author of perdition, which means he began the lies. Remember he also mimics Christs kingdom, but it is right the opposite so check
yourselves.
Usually what I have seen is, I have these dates open to preach, oh and they don't tell you this but my fee is 1500 to 3000 dollars to come and preach, plus air fare and a hotel room also. You know what is funny churches, really pay this. What if Jesus had of preached the Sermon on the Mount and then said that's 1500 dollars. Instead he feed the 5000, plus women and children. Not only did he feed their souls, but he also feed their physical bodies. What I feel is that if he gave you something freely, you should give it freely also, if people want to give you a love offering so be it. Because it was given by the love in their hearts. Paul specifically said he worked at what he knew and never asked for the money for preaching the Gospel and with Gods help he turned the world upside down.
So once again take a spiritual mind, heart, and eyes, and feed the spiritual man, not the human side because God will do that anyway. God tells us in the scriptures that if we seek Him all the other things in our lives will be taken care of, and that is a promise and a fact. The miracle that I have is that God has saved me from death three times not by anything I have done because if it was left up to me I would have died and that is a fact. God has something big in store for me that's why I am hanging around.
Friends I just want to let you know that if you are not sure about Jesus in your life, check Him out for your selves, no scare tactics check it out with your heart.
