BLESSED BY DISCERNING RELIGIOUS FRAUD

My Dear Precious Child, You often encounter the sin of entitlement in My body of Christ. In a court of law it is called fraud, that being intentional deception for the purpose of gaining undue financial or material gain from another person. The concept often starts out innocent but with lack of funds to finance a ministry, a person will often resort to emotional appeals in order to "guilt" people into giving to his or her ministry. Other times there is the promise of financial benefits flowing from Me to the person if they give to your ministry when often the ministry is not even called by Me but the minister's appeal is an emotional calling for false evangelism. Ministry is tough enough when ordained by Me and a false calling is impossible to perpetuate without the person yielding to entitlement, which is often using guilt in emotional appeals in order to persuade people to finance your ministry. The best examples in My History Book and Book of Instruction called the Bible are Jesus Christ and the apostle Paul. Jesus was so in tune with Me that His constant needs were supplied and so were the needs of His disciples. The apostle Paul worked to finance his own ministry, quoting in one of his books that he did not want to be financially dependent upon anyone else for financing his ministry so he worked in order to only be completely dependent upon Me. Paul wanted the line of communication between Me and himself to be unencumbered with having to appeal for money. The way entitlement captures the lives of My children who want to please Me is that they have a real love for Me and a desire to please Me. Their programming through the demon of religion is that the only way to please Me is to go into full-time ministry. They might only know me by the hearing of their ears instead of having a one-on-one relationship with me which is necessary for a successful ministry. They choose ministry as their vocation and find that it is difficult to live on an evangelist's offerings. So they resort to emotional appeals, promising people that if they contribute to his ministry that I am obligated to give them the money back in larger denominations. That rarely, if every, happens because it has become a desperate ministry motivated by guilt and a false calling. You heard it called slot machine Christianity with the concept that you put money into a ministry, whether a good one or a bad one, and I am obligated to return money to you in much larger sums, much like at a casino. It never works in My family because of the attitudes behind the appeals. My callings are for a one-on-one relationship with Me in which you are completely motivated by the guidance of the Holy Spirit. A true and genuine calling by Me is one in which you do not have delusions of grandeur that you will minister before hundreds or thousands of people, but that you and I will have a close relationship in your prayer closet where I will teach you the elementary and advanced deep truths which will cause you to overcome the works of the devil in the earth, just like the ministry of Jesus Christ. (I John 3:8) My desire is a close relationship with all of My children in which I lead and guide them into all truth. Until My children are established in a one-on-one relationship with Me, being led by My Holy Spirit in every area of life, they are not ready for ministry or they will fall into the traps set by the devil to trap them; for instance, manipulating people to give to their ministry which was often never a calling by Me but a calling by someone else. You must be constantly led by My Holy Spirit to discern ministries that are based upon the person receiving My Living Personal Words instead of the person only knowing Me through the words of another person. If you give to a ministry where the person only has a calling through an emotional appeal to please Me by becoming a minister and not by a direct calling by Me in our private relationship, then you are giving money to perpetuate a false teacher or false ministry which may spiritually injure someone. You do not want that on your conscience when discerning of spirits could have prevented you from financially supporting that false ministry if you had listening to Me instead of your listening to an emotional appeal for money from a ministry that was never a true ministry at all. My children must be led by My Holy Spirit. Don't be guilty of perpetuating a ministry that eventually will cause emotional, sexual, physical or doctrinal problems in the life of another person or in the lives of hundreds of people. My Holy Spirit knows what is in the heart of a person. He can give you the proper leading in relation to your giving as far as supporting a ministry. I said that I know the good ground. (Matthew 13: 4-9) Your Father of Pure Relationships
