Faking, Shaking, & Money Making Down at the Ole "Chuch"

There are many false manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the earth today because Satan is a great imitator and not an originator of anything but lies. I will admit that even I have been deceived in times past by false manifestations portrayed as moves of God or even by certain false messengers because of a strong "sensory experience" which appeared to be a true spiritual experience. When you learn better you must do better or you are doomed to repeat the same cycles and live in deception. God is not excusing our ignorance, and it is contingent on every born again believer to gain the knowledge necessary to walk in the truth which is contained and revealed in the Holy Scriptures of the Bible. I don't believe we should preach poverty but I can't look past the fact that the scriptures warn against pursuing riches and that our Lord declared of himself in LUKE 9:58; "And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." How the "prosperity profits" put a twist on this that Yeshua was rich in his earthly ministry I will never understand but it is clear from his own words that material gain was not his priority or possession. He lived by faith and taught the apostles to do the same. His having a money bag for a treasury or people giving to him only shows that he was organized and was assisted in his ministry by others for his needs; not that he was rich. Even the reference of Abraham and the patriarchs as being wealthy is taken way out of context and perspective. God blessed Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob because he was financing an entire nation in them; not so they could be big shots and live like the wicked. He is an all sufficient God, not a spiritual ATM. You do get by giving but not for the wrong reasons and with the sole motive of getting. True givers take more pleasure in the giving than the getting. You give cheerfully and gladly that you are able to be a blessing and that in turn makes God bless you with what you ask for beyond your needs.
