The Church today  tends to use a secular approach,  it demands, it sends out request and asks, or begs  for monies, INSTEAD OF GETTING ON ONE'S KNEES AND PRAYING FOR IT. The Church today sadly mostly does not live by faith they seem to have a lip service relgion mostly. 

 

(Heb 10:38 KJV)  Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

 

(Psa 37:25 KJV)  I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

 

To me this above  verse clearly indicates that even Pastors do not have to ask, beg for money, God will supply the financial needs as well himself in his way and in his time.

Malachi seems to be the first Bible book that many even Evangelical Pastors do use to preach Tithing.. IMAGINE THIS A PASTOR DOES PREACH ABOUT MALACHI  (but as it is too often the case they are LIKELY TRYING TO STEAL THE LORD'S TITHES MONEY FOR themselves?) and how can most of the Pastors noww leave out to firstly to mention the reality that this book of Malachi was,  is addressed mainly, firstly to the false pastors, the false priests too? and their own still theft of God's money, their unrepentance. How or why?

(Mal 1:6 KJV)  A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? 7  Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. 8  And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts. 9  And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts. 10  Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. 11  For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.

(Mal 1:14 KJV)  But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

(Mal 2:1 KJV)  And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.

(Mal 2:2 KJV)  If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.

(Mal 2:7 KJV)  For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.8   But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. 9  Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.

(Mal 2:10 KJV)  Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

(Mal 2:11 KJV)  Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.12 The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.13 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.

Look at the three most common sins of  even too many evangelical pastors mentioned here in the Book of Malachi too..

1: THE WRONGFULLY SUPPORT, COUNSEL, ALLOW DIVORCE. GOD DOES NOT!

(Mal 2:15 KJV)  And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

 

(Mat 19:4 KJV)  And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

 

(Luke 16:18 KJV)  Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

 

I am too often dismayed that too many pastors do not mention the reality of how God is displeased with adultery.. one lying evangelical pastor  whose church had a whole number of pastors, members, adherents  committing adultery said to me that "God understands that it is a human weakness". No, it is not a human weakness it is a deliberate, conscious SIN!!! It was not until it was dealt with as sin in this church that these immoral acts were reduced too.

 

(Jer 5:8 KJV)  They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife. 9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?10  Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD'S. 11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. 12 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.

 

(Rom 7:2 KJV)  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

 

(1 Cor 6:15 KJV)  Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16  What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17  But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
 

(Rev 21:8 KJV)  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

 

(Rev 22:14 KJV)  Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

 

(Rev 22:15 KJV)  For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

2 THEY OVERLOOK THE DEEDS OF THE WICKED PERSONS AMONGST THEM EVEN  BECAUSE THEY LIKELY CONTRIBUTE MONIES TO THEM?

What? Pastors do show false partialities  towards others when God does not?

(1 Tim 5:20 KJV)  Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

(James 3:17 KJV)  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

(James 2:1 KJV)  My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2  For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3  And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4  Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? 5  Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? 6  But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 7  Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? 8  If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9  But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10  For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11  For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12  So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 13  For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. 14  What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15  If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16  And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17  Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18  Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. 19  Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

(Mal 2:17 KJV)  Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

 

(Ezek 22:23 KJV)  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. 25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. 26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. 27  Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. 28 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken. 29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.30  And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.31  Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

 

(Mal 3:14 KJV)  Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?15  And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

3: THEY STEAL FROM EVEN THE TITHE FOR THEIR OWN WRONG PERSONAL USES AND THEY TOO OFTEN WRONGFULLY TOO DO NOT GIVE A PORTION OF THE COLLECTED MONIES, TITHES TO THE LOCAL POOR PERSONS

(Mal 3:10 KJV)  Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.12  And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

(Gal 2:9 KJV)  And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision 10  Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

(James 1:27 KJV)  Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.  (Phil 2:4 KJV)  Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.(John 13:35 KJV)  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. (Jer 22:16 KJV)  He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well  with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.

(1 Cor 16:1 KJV)  Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. (1 Cor 16:2 KJV)  Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. (1 Cor 16:3 KJV)  And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

(2 Sam 12:3 KJV)  But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.4  And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.5 And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:

(Mal 3:9 KJV)  Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

Deuteronomy 26:12-15 (NIV) 12 When you have finished setting aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you shall give it to the Levite, the alien, the fatherless and the widow, so that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied

Deuteronomy 14: 27 And do not neglect the Levites  living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year's produce and store it in  your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

(Exo 23:11 KJV)  But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy olive yard.

(Lev 19:10 KJV)  And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.

(Deu 15:11 KJV)  For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

(Mat 25:40 KJV)  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:42 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44  Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Please note and do tell me is it not true that  both in the Old and New Testament the collection of tithes, money has always been associated also with distribution of the annual tithes in the Old testament or the weekly collection of monies in the New Testament to the POOR PERSONS?  and yet why is still wrongfully that the preachers always like to talk about COLLECTING the tithe but they seem to never also mention this.. they seem to never give a portion of the money to the poor.

 

Is this not robbing God of his money when you rob the poor persons of their monies?

 If you PASTOR are honest with God, you won't mind you will give a portion of the collected monies directly to the poor people firstly.. whether you preach tithes or not!

All those who ask for money for the Lord's work but neglect the other COMMANDMENTS of God such as us giving help, monies  to the poor persons in our own churches they are all still crooks, thieves, and liars 

   Furthermore I have often learned firsthand that much of the money collected does not reach the poor persons directly even about 85% of it.  I helped once to collect $16,000 for the poor persons of a local Church and next the evangelical pastor stole the money and used it next to pay of his own past bad debts. This has happened as I have witnessed  many times too. Or like the evangelical Pastor who had asked me for a $250 loan cause he had money problems, but God told me that he had stolen a church bus that was donated to his church and he rather made it into  camper for his family and that was why he had financial problems too ! The  local big Christian Calgary church had paid staff persons that were mostly paid relatives, related to the pastor. The church though used POOR PERSONS, unpaid volunteers to do the  work around  the church. It went into bankruptcy when all of this was exposed.  

Even Pastors stealing the monies from the poor persons is a serious sin before God even one that he does not neglect lightly.

 

(Mat 23:23 KJV)  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

(Luke 11:42 KJV)  But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

(1 Tim 5:8 KJV)  But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

(Mark 7:9 KJV)  And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.10  For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.12  And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;13  Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

(1 Tim 6:10 KJV)  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.12  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;14  That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

(Gal 6:10 KJV)  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

 

(Mal 3:1 KJV)  Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.2  But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

(Isa 56:7 KJV)  Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

(Mat 21:12 KJV)  And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,13  And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

(Mal 3:4 KJV)  Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.

(Mal 4:1 KJV)  For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

 A godly shepherd, which is the role for all Pastors, they are to care about the welfare of his flock both spiritual and physically and tells the whole truth too.. (Prov 27:23 KJV)  Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. 24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? and that includes (Psa 112:9 KJV)  He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

Now further even in  in regards to tithing, a portion of which was to be given to the local poor persons too not everyone could received the tithe.. only priests and poor persons who owned no land.. Not this important rule. The Old Testament Levites, the poor persons clearly specified that those who next  enjoyed the benefits of the tithes did not own any land, a house.  The Lord God  stated that the Levites would have no inheritance of land but would be given the tithe instead.  Numbers 18:20 (NIV) 20 The LORD said to Aaron, "You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them; I am your share and your inheritance among the Israelites..

In accordance with that principle the pastors who own a home cannot use the benefit of the tithe today as well.

Many Pastors also lie and say that all of the tithe was to be given to the local storehouse.. this was not what the Bible itself taught..

  Now God clearly speaks to me and when he tells me to give money to someone that is my business, and it is still only between me and God and no one else...  it is not forced upon me.. I still give only where God tells me to give, not even where I may want to give..  and there are still many, many people I had wanted, do still want  to help but God would not allow it..

       (2 Cor 9:5 KJV)  Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up before hand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. 6   But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7  Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

(2 Cor 9:8 KJV)  And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 9  (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) 11  Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. 12  For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; 13  Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; 14  And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.15  Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

(1 Cor 16:1 KJV)  Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. (1 Cor 16:2 KJV)  Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. (1 Cor 16:3 KJV)  And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

Note that this stated collection given to the storehouse  firstly  is for the saints too.. and it is still the money as we can afford to give too. It also has to be distributed to the poor by even the persons we personally do approve off, persons we know will not steal, abuse the monies not rather as now as it happens too often..  I do not rightfully trust all of the pastors to handle my monies. Sad when the Church is at such a stage now too..

(Gal 6:10 KJV)  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

In addition in the Old testament the tithe was paid directly to the storehouse only every 3rd year? and the other two years the tither enjoyed the tithes himself by feasting on it? (Deu 12:17 KJV)  Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:(Deu 14:23 KJV)  And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.

Imagine that stated REALITY you can use a portion of the tithe to have a feast of rejoicing before the LORD for yourself and your family.. and the poor persons.

All Tithing in the new Testament is an option, personal decision and is not mandatory at all.

The poor people must also still be included in your giving same as in the old testament tithing laws, patterns.

(Gal 2:9 KJV)  And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision 10  Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

 

The earth is the Lord's, and every thing in it, the world, and all who live in it… (Psalm 24:1).

(Deu 15:11 KJV)  For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God, I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.    I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens, for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.   If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it (Psalm 50:7-12).

‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty (Haggai 2:8).

“Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?” (Romans 11:35).

(Gal 2:16 KJV)  Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Much has been said and not said about "tithing" by all kind of persons.. and most of it is distorted lies,

Here are a few basic facts, truths from the Bible that need also to be considered. The "tithe" itself  is reserved for certain functions, persons , the old testament Jews now as well.. and no man can still  force any one to tithe. The message of Jesus is that God is first not in need of money but of your  humble, sacrificial spirit.

(Mat 17:24 KJV)  And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? 25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? 26  Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power?  Acts 5:4

(2 Cor 9:7 KJV)  Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8  And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 8 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.`10   Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and  increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

Furthermore only the persons who did not own any land, a house  the Old Testament Levites, the poor enjoyed the benefits of the third year  tithes and not the rich...

Numbers 18:20 (NIV) 20 The LORD said to Aaron, "You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them; I am your share and your inheritance among the Israelites

A portion of of the Biblical tithe was to be given directly to the local poor persons in the Old Testament.

Deuteronomy 26:12-15 (NIV) 12 When you have finished setting aside a tenth of all your produce in the third year, the year of the tithe, you shall give it to the Levite, the alien, the fatherless and the widow, so that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied

Deuteronomy 14: 27 And do not neglect the Levites  living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year's produce and store it in  your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

In the Old testament 10 percent of  tithe only was paid directly to the storehouse and only every 3rd year.. and what about the rest?

Neh. 10:37-38 "...to bring the firstfruits... and to bring the tithes of our  land to the Levites, for the Levites should receive the tithes in all our farming communities. And the priest, the descendant of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive tithes; and the Levites shall bring up a tenth of the tithes to the house of our God, to the rooms of the storehouse."

and the other two years the tither and his family enjoyed the tithes  by even feasting on it. The people of Israel were required to assemble three times a year at Jerusalem (as the place chosen by the Lord) for the major feasts.

(Deu 12:17 KJV)  Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:

(Deu 14:23 KJV)  And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God  always.

The Israelite was not commanded to tithe on everything he obtained and used throughout the year, but only on his increase at the end of the year. ( The increase minus his actual expenditures during the year, or the final year end profit?)

Deut.14:22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the  field bringeth forth year by year.

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the Lord of hosts, “if I will not open  for you the windows of heaven, and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows” (Malachi 3:10).

There were four tithes in Israel under the Old Covenant. Which one is referred to here?

And the priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive tithes, and the Levites shall bring up the tenth of the tithes to the house of our God, to the chambers of the storehouse (Nehemiah 10:38).

 Malachi is  is clearly rebuking the Levites. The tithe payable by the Levites, not the tithes payable by the people was the unpaid tithe here. Ironic that the tithe collection is still being unacceptably abused too often today as well by the Church priests, and pastors.

The Mosaic Law of Tithing was never 10% of everything you get.

The Temple (now considered to be the church-house) did not receive all of the tithes that were given by the Israelites.

Tithing was neither commanded nor fully observed in the early church.

Tithing as a covenant of prosperity is effective only for those who seek to be justified by keeping all of  the Law which is not possible anyway.

Those who demand 10% of everything you get, are still identified with the Scribes  and the Pharisees, who were still the historic enemies of Christ.

 (Mat 7:22 KJV)  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.

(Jer 2:8 KJV)  The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

(Deu 10:12 KJV)  And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

and why now have most of  the pastors  not even mentioned all of  this too in all honesty? cause they would not get the money they really want so bad..

For most of the evangelical pastors to still say that they are now truthful why do the pastors now clearly mostly withheld wrongfully the more important verses related to tithing in the Bible  and do not teach, preach it.

Furthermore even a pastor with a true faith produces real love for others, is concerned about their spiritual as well as physical well being..  and it tells the truth, not partial truths, or even clear lies..

The Churches now Giving receipts for Tax exempt donations  firstly is not them now living by faith in God to provide and also is  not a Biblical requirement, rather it contradicts the Bible, for the Bible says you and anyone else are not to know how much you give... to  keep no record of it..

(Mat 6:2 KJV)  Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3   But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4  That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.5   And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.6   But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

 

Please ALSO do not get any false impression that I am against voluntary tithing to the lord, or voluntary giving to the lord, AND to the poor persons. I am against giving on the too often false man defined  mandates that the still mostly false pastors themselves do define it.. and what mostly false pastors? The fact that at least 60 percent of the evangelical pastors I have dealt with are very inadequate, even rather mere hirelings who lie, slander, abuse others, gossip,  cheat, steal, commit tax evasions, tolerate divorce wrongfully etc, and do not really follow after the Lord. We need to have a better biblical  account of how the Lord's money is spent.

 

(Exo 34:26 KJV)  The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God.

 

(Exo 23:16 KJV)  And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

 

(Lev 23:10 KJV)  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:

 

(Num 28:26 KJV)  Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:

 

(Deu 26:10 KJV)  And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:

 

(2 Chr 31:5 KJV)  And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.

 

(Neh 10:35 KJV)  And to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD:

 

(Neh 10:37 KJV)  And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.

 

(Prov 3:9 KJV)  Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

 

(Ezek 20:40 KJV)  For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.

 

(Ezek 44:30 KJV)  And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.

 

God always has to be included in all Giving for all of the money belongs to Him firstly.

(Phil 4:10 KJV)  But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.

(Phil 4:11 KJV)  Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

(Phil 4:12 KJV)  I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

(Phil 4:13 KJV)  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

(Phil 4:14 KJV)  Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.

(Phil 4:15 KJV)  Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

(Phil 4:16 KJV)  For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

(Phil 4:17 KJV)  Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.

(Phil 4:18 KJV)  But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.

(Phil 4:19 KJV)  But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

(Phil 4:20 KJV)  Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

     I really know why God had me write this  all it is cause I have too often seen firsthand the last 20 years how much of the money that was to be given to God's workers, the poor has been stolen, abused rather even by too many of by the supposedly Christian persons entrusted with the money too.

    On the other side there are also now much too many professional Christian  beggars who ask for help. I know firsthand of one Church deaconess, who asked money from me for her husband and she had $350,000 dollars in the bank she kept for reserved. I know firsthand of another women who had $25,000 in the bank and she ask my church to giver her money cause she was poor, they foolishly gave her $4,500. I firsthand know of a pastor who had $80,000 in the bank, owned 2 homes and he asked me and the poor people for money..  and that is just a par too the too often monetary corruptions in the Church even that I saw firsthand  now too.  I know that many people lie as to how much money they really have

 

(Mal 4:2 KJV)  But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

(Mal 4:3 KJV)  And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

God has not called anyone into a New Testament  Ministry of raising funds. or wrongfully begging for them. and sadly still it is the crooked people, bad pastors often use supposedly valid issues as an excuse to get mere of the funding from  God's people.. so it can not be used for God's real Ministry. This is demonic!!

 

(Psa 84:11 KJV)  For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

God has  supplied all of my needs, God alone, I have never asked man to help me in the lord's work. This is the right way. when I expect any man or women to do it I will, am disappointed rather they show me how unfaithful they are.. and rightfully so. cause I am trusting in man to help me and not God.. the just shall live by faith in God , includes all persons now too.

Recently a friend of mine told me that he was looking for a new computer chair. I also then  thought it was time for me also  to get a new one. The two chairs that I had were no longer comfortable, they were well used, and  they needed to be repaired even replaced.  This time I though I would get a good chair one that does not break so easily. I looked in the catalogue, flyers and I noticed that chairs costs from $59 but next a good chair cost about $259.00. I thought to myself well at that price the good chair is more than what I ever wanted to pay so  I better wait and God will provide the money for it or the chair  it if I really need it. Within four days a neighbour rang my door bell and asked if I wanted freely a good computer chair.. His own landlord no longer had place to store it and had offered it to him, but he immediately thought of me that it would be more suitable for me... so God provided me a good chair.. in a manner quickly and beyond my own expectations too.

I rightfully do not agree  about anyone asking any of us for money.. no one.. not  one single person. I generally reply that they should only ask God to help them and not man, that they look to God for help and not me or mere man...for  this is the only rightful approach..  Each person now should pray to God to meet their needs, and not beg  any man.. they should also pray to God to

(Mat 6:11 KJV)  Give us this day our daily bread.

(Mat 6:13 KJV)  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

God is no respecter of persons, he provides to his faithful followers.. he provided to George Mueller hundred of thousands without George Mueller ever asking others for any of the  money.

 

Thus  I always pray if I should help any person first..  and I also do readily pray a prayer of repentance with them as well.

    Almost every person who asks me for some  money, pastors included,  I can by prayer next see that they are really not right with God, they are still  in real sins that they need to deal with as well.  If God is not providing for them the first sins I look for in others  is if they are stealing.. lying.. abusing others.

     I can also tell you that I had lived by faith  with Bible students, living by faith that God alone supplied  our needs, and he did  for 5 months until one of the persons started to lie, and steal the food for his friends.. God stopped providing for us.. and told me what too.

All Pastors should be teaching people to pray to God first.  I agree that we should give money to help first the poor people in our church, and in other churches first, but we are not obligated to do this, we do this according to what god has laid on our hearts..

Each person firstly they can and should rather ask us for prayer even so we can also  pray even as to what  God wants them to  do next.. they should also learn to hear God speaking to them too...

When Pastors do in reality  look adequately after the people God will supply also all of the pastor's needs as well in the manner he wants to as well.. and not man way's....  Pastors too have to walk by faith in God, also for God to provide for their needs by faith, and not just teach others to do it.

All Pastors can still accept any donations though and still speak out if they want too. But the pastors wrongfully worry that if they do not have tax exempt privileges then next people will not give money to  them.. and that is another one of their false concern it seems..the continuance of  their salaries and the income  money.. and  this monetary concerns really  is not living by faith in God.. anyway the people who give for tax return are really not lead by the Spirit of God anyway..

Well I do not worry about speaking our or about not being involved in politics for I do not issue tax receipts.. and I have no problem in speaking out as God tells me to do so too. Anyway all Churches should firstly not be involved too much in  politics but in the Ministry.. in real prayer now as well and preaching the Gospel to all.

(Jer 2:13 KJV)  For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
 
Yes, I am rightfully  disappointed that so many even Christian Pastors they  do not in realty, follow after  Jesus  or the Bible, they follow after the world, the flesh, the devil,  lusts and men and women..  I do  know for a fact that not all Christians persons yet have not been called, equipped to be  elders, apostles, prophets, pastors.. they first do have to be faithful with what they  have already been given.. and that includes now being a good shepherd.. this is God's will for all believers.. God specifically  told me so too.
 
2 Pet.2:1,2,19): "There were false prophets among the [Old Testament] people, even as there shall be false teachers among you [the church], who privily shall bring in[to the church] damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them. . . . And many [of the church] shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of [by the church]. . . . While they [Christian ministers] promise them [Christian congregations] liberty, they themselves are the servants of  corruption

 

Having dealt with too many unrepentant pastors I know that their personal reaction to the truth is still too often an ungodly one.

 

(Jer 18:1 KJV)  The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2  Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 3  Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4  And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 5  Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 6  O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. 7  At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 8  If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. 9  And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10  If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

(Jer 18:11 KJV)  Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good. 12  And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart. 13  Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing. 14  Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken? 15  Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;  16  To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head. 17  I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity. 18 Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words. 19  Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me. 20  Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them. 21  Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle. 22  Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet. 23  Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.

God had let me to  meditate on  why some Christian pastors themselves do not grow with the Lord.. why they too  are show shallow in their walk with God, experiences too. One reason  sadly was that they really do not know God and they do not really have a life with Christ and fellowship with Jesus daily by Prayer, Bible studies but also through  loving the brethren. That is why they yes even the Evangelical pastors as I have too often firsthand witnessed they do  do too often neglect, abuse, slander them, lie about them, gossip about them too
 
(Rev 3:19 KJV)  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
 
For God is at work within you, helping you want to obey him, and then helping you do what he wants (Philippians 2:13 Living Bible). (Mark 10:21 KJV)  Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
 
 Truly if one hates his Christian brother God will not lead them any further in any truths and that is why so many fundamentals now, next  do not grow any further.
 
(Eph 5:29 KJV)  For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
 
(1 John 2:9 KJV)  He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.12  Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 15 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
 
(1 Pet 1:22 KJV)  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

You will personally next like me too  will sleep here on earth as well  in the bed you now make. Follow God's truths and do good and next good things will happen to you . Rebel against God and continue to do evil and yes real bad things will next also follow  you too.  Life is very simple to understand, it is firstly impossible to face, to live by oneself. Jesus has given us all that we need to face life with. He gave us Himself and without Him in us we cannot succeed. Being separatist oriented due to our inherent sinful nature we tend to rebel against Him and we will always fail next as a result.
 
(John 5:27 KJV)  And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

I have thus detailed all of this to the Canada's major news media in writing  and posted it  on the Internet for all to read as well,, so we can all know the truth and rightfully act upon it too.

Needles to say I got  replies about this from some unhappy pastors, they wrongfully next  tried to attack me  personally cause they could not deal with the Biblical content of my message. So I also replied to them on this too..Their rather  false Job's comforter's denials , avoiding the truth by their lying and distortions  although very humanistic natural  will only make it worse on them next.  I am not talking about all of the Pastors being crooked, only about  70 percent of them, but   I am rightfully asking the evangelical pastors to repent of the lies they teach about tithing  specifically and this is mandatory, not optional. Judgement begins in the house of God and it is enforced by God himself and it starts with the pastors.. God is still not being mocked.  I have only seen 18 evangelical pastors fired in Alberta ( only one  and a PAC pastor had repented too) and I have also see  many many other pastors fired elsewhere, for adultery, thefts, abuses,  even original Church  founding pastors.. many of those who thought that repentance to my letters was optional too..  I just do what God says.. write.. and the others will,will suffer the real consequences next.. if they do not repent.
 
Daily personal repentance is not optional nor also is an option of our asking even any  others now to repent as well.
 
(Ezek 33:1 KJV)  Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2  Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: 3  If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 4  Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5  He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. 6  But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. 7  So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. 8  When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 9  Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 10  Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? 11  Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 12  Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. 13  When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. 14  Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; 15  If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. 16  None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. 17  Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. 18  When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. 19  But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.   

(Luke 13:3 KJV)  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
 
(Acts 17:30 KJV)  And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
 
(Acts 26:20 KJV)  But showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
 
Like the Prophet Jonah I too am reluctant to ask people to repent, not cause they might repent though, but because in my experiences they likely will not.. My earthly father phoned me and asked me not to bother asking the Pastors to repent for he said they will never repent. How true, if I do not ask them then the chance is greater they will not..
 
but (Rev 3:19 KJV)  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
 
and that includes the Pastors too now.. (2 Tim 2:25 KJV)  In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
 
Are we falsely partial too now as to who  will ask to repent? Are there some people we wrongfully excluded cause we want their favor, or cause we wrongfully idolize them? cause they are our friends. Go to our church? or what?
 
And still when asked to repent some people reply why should I , am an  no worse of a sinner that any other persons?
 
Repentance is not enough to know that you have also sinned, it is an admittance, a confession before God that you have sinned and specifically asking for his forgiveness..
 
(Mat 27:4 KJV)  Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
 
(Luke 15:18 KJV)  I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

Now I have been poor,  and rich, rich so I  owned a house, car, had money in the bank,  and even so poor many times that I had no money, no clothes but what I had on me,  even no place to sleep, and when I turned humbly to God he fully provided for me abundantly with all that I needed and more even the very same same day. he does the same for all others too.

     I agree that we all should help especially the poor persons as God leads us to, as he God tells us personally to do.. but I do not agree that we should help everyone who asks, begs for money for a start too... for that is also God's work alone.   

    I also have now also learned the hard way that once you as a person do give another  person help even once, they wrongfully expect you to do that everyday.. they forgot about God still who is their sole provider and not me..  and others beg for money who are liars, persons who do have hidden  monies...  It is funny to me how so many people who tell me they have no money they also seem to next always find money for what they wanted to buy.

Also 25 years ago God told me that the Pastors themselves were too often stealing the tithes..  next  God confirmed to me that the Book of Malachi was firstly about the bad pastors abusing the tithes by even not using it in the manner God wanted.

(1 Cor 11:23 KJV)  For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24  And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25  After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26  For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come. 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29  For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30  For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32  But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 

(Gal 5:22 KJV)  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering,  gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there  is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the  affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

 

While there actually is still no such thing as enforced leadership submission or a mandatory membership in the church some rules need to be enforced such as those relating to those persons eating the Lord's table unworthily even in regard to Pastors, never mind whether the others they are members or not.

God reminded me very distinctly that the last days specifically in regards to most evangelical pastors, ( shepherds ) that they do
1:tolerate, even commit sexual immoralities
2: wrongfully allow and fellowship with wicked, prideful persons  in their own churches
3: abuse the Lord's money and do neglect, abuse the poor persons.

Ironically in response to this  I seem  to get a typical letter from a pastor in his  own false defence  saying that he does not do one of the above items, but he  clearly he does not deny that does  the other two sins still..

Any one of these three still unrepentant sins are grounds for a Pastor even  not taking communion.. even for removal from his Ministry.

 

(James 2:10 KJV)  For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in  one point, he is guilty of all.  11  For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said  also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12  So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged  by the law of liberty. 13  For he shall have   judgment without mercy, that hath  showed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. 14  What doth it profit,  my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save  him? 15  If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16  And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye  give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17   Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18  Yea, a man may say,  Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will  show thee my faith by my works. 19  Thou believest that there is one God; thou  doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20  But wilt thou know, O vain man,  that faith without works is dead? 21  Was not Abraham our father justified by  works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22  Seest thou how faith  wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23  And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for  righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24  Ye see then how that by  works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25  Likewise also was not Rahab  the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent  them out another way? 26  For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith  without works is dead also.

 

(Isa 5:11 KJV)  Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! 12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16  But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

Daily personal repentance is not optional even for shepherds, pastors, also is not an option nor of our asking them or even any  other believers  or non believers  now to repent as well.

 

(Acts 17:30 KJV)  And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

 

(Acts 26:20 KJV)  But showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

 

(Prov 27:5 KJV)  Open rebuke is better than secret love.

 

(Prov 16:19 KJV)  Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

 

(Prov 16:23 KJV)  The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

 

Please note it is my rightful view view that Churches are not at all run by any Pastors, but RUN only by Jesus Christ and the elders (always plural), and note this they are all shepherds.. all of the elders i.e. apostles, prophets, teachers are all the shepherds of the Church). The Rebellious, non submissive pastors are still sinners.

 

(2 Cor 1:1 KJV)  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, (Gal 1:1 KJV)  Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

 

I rightfully do not hero worship, falsely exalt Pastors, nor do I allow them to  enforce obedience to their self defined Pastoral authority which is too often pastoral abuse.

 

And how is it that the Apostles even became first over the prophets too?  When Apostles did not even exist in the Old Testament. And Why?

 

 Israel itself was not to be involved in outreach evangelism, the planting of new churches amongst the gentiles because they had possessed only a portion of the truth too. This was a role only for the Apostles. There are also at least 18 persons mentioned as Apostles in the New Testament, disproving the fact that this term only refers to the original 12 Apostles with Christ.

 

(1 Cor 12:29 KJV)  Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

 

(Eph 2:20 KJV)  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

 

(Eph 3:5 KJV)  Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

 

(2 Pet 3:2 KJV)  That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

 

(Luke 11:49 KJV)  Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

 

(Rev 18:20 KJV)  Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

 

(1 Cor 12:28 KJV)  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

 

 Pastors in the church in order of importance are number three on the list.. the church is run by Apostles first.. Prophets second.. Pastors third.. and they are all equally elders in a local church..

 

Note one today's pastor in my lifetime to me even has been able to justify his supposed valid position from the Bible.. unless he calls himself one of the elders or ONE OF THE Shepherds

 

(Jer 17:16 KJV)  As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.

 

Pastor as singular is  mentioned only once in the whole Bible  and yet a whole false doctrine of their importance is made, and that reference of Pastor was to a prophet.

 

(Jer 2:8 KJV)  The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

 

(Jer 3:15 KJV)  And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

 

(Jer 10:21 KJV)  For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

 

(Jer 12:10 KJV)  Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

 

(Jer 22:22 KJV)  The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.

 

(Jer 23:1 KJV)  Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.

 

(Jer 23:2 KJV)  Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.

 

(Eph 4:11 KJV)  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

 

Pastor as plural  too is  mentioned only once in the NEW TESTAMENT  and yet a whole false doctrine of their sole importance today is made, and that reference Pastor included also apostles, prophets, evangelist, and I do not care to believe in the still mostly  lies of men but only what the Bible teaches itself.

 

The Lord Jesus Christ himself is the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls

 

((1 Pet 2:25 KJV)  For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

 

 All earthly pastors are still even  his under-shepherds but are also  are to be mutually submissive one to another too.

 

(1 Pet 5:5 KJV)  Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

 

(Rev 1:4 KJV)  John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

 

(The New Testament letters also were not sent just to the local elders, pastors,  but to the churches to act upon them themselves..)

 

(Eph 5:27 KJV)  That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

(1 Pet 1:13 KJV)  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14  As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15  But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.17  And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 18  Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21  Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 22  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

 

(Heb 13:4 KJV)  Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

 

(Rev 2:20 KJV)  Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21  And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22  Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23  And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

 

(Jer 5:8 KJV)  They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife. 9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?10  Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD'S. 11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. 12 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.

 

(Zec 1:2 KJV)  The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers. 3   Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. 4  Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.

 

(John 13:35 KJV)  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

 

(Jer 22:16 KJV)  He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well  with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.

 

(Luke 17:3 KJV)  Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. (Mat 18:15 KJV)  Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.16  But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.17  And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican.

 

(Psa 122:5 KJV)  For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

 

(Isa 5:7 KJV)  For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

 

(Jer 21:12 KJV)  O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

 

(Hosea 5:1 KJV)  Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

 

(Micah 3:1 KJV)  And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?

 

(Micah 3:9 KJV)  Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.

 

(1 Pet 4:17 KJV)  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

 

I have dealt personally with about 45 pastors In Canada  and I eventually had asked most of them to repent , and only two next did. As a result many of them were next rightfully dismissed, founding church a pastors included. I have thus too often seen the real terrors in the pastors and even in their wives eyes as their past unrepentant sins have caught up with them, as their sins are being publicly exposed, and I see as they desperately do try instead of humbling themselves and repenting they do rather still try for the last time to stop the exposure by even again misquoting scriptures and too often the the same ones..

 

The UNREPENTANT PASTORS  will say something LIKE  "I take only personal rebukes from God directly, and you have no authority to deal with my sins"..

 

(1 Pet 5:5 KJV)  Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. and  (1 Tim 5:19 KJV)  Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. and they often neglect to quote this one and why now? (1 Tim 5:20 KJV)  Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

 

I have found it that they then want to be tragically legalistic with an isolated,  particular interpretation of the scriptures when they have now already been clearly avoiding practicing themselves the  many other more relevant ones including

 

(1 John 1:9 KJV)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

 

(2 Chr 20:9 KJV)  If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.

 

 and so do you think that this false rationalization of theirs now next stops God from continuing? I do next suggest to them they better first listen to a Christian brother and repent for next..

 

(Heb 3:12 KJV)  Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. (Gal 6:7 KJV)  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  (Heb 10:31 KJV)  It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Luke 12:3 KJV)  Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

 

and how you respond to the truth  and to others is next how God will respond still to you as well.

 

A pastor in a local Calgary Church had faithfully preached God's message. The Pastor next made a specific call for the still unrepentant persons before him to come forth to the altar and to pray for their own personal  repentances. Having made many appeals still not one person had still come forth. Next God spoke to me and said speak to the Congregation on my behalf and say.. " My servant has spoken my words faithfully to you, and I have called you unto repentances and you have refused to come. Shall I now openly list your sins." Immediately I next had  very clear visions of specific persons and their specific unrepentant sins. I too next was surprised when all of these same persons had rightfully decided that they were not going to test God but they rather fell on the floor before the Altar, weeping and confessing their sins.

(1 John 1:10 KJV)  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

(1 John 1:9 KJV)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

 

(Heb 8:12 KJV)  For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. (Heb 10:17 KJV)  And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

 

It is ironic the bad pastors are willing to accept their calling as pastors but they are clearly not willing to accept my calling to ask them rightfully to repent no matter how perfect my calling is.

 

(Mat 9:13 KJV)  But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

 

(Mark 2:17 KJV)   They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

 

(Rom 2:4 KJV)  Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? 5  But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6  Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7  To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8  But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9  Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10  But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11  For there is no respect of persons with God. 12  For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13  (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14  For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15  Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) 16  In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. 17  Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, 18  And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; 19  And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, 20  An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. 21  Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22  Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? 23  Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? 24  For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

 

I was visiting in Montreal when God spoke to me and said a NW  Calgary Evangelical Church Pastor was bad mouthing me. I admit I got upset and said Lord why right did he have to do that? God replied that the did not share this truth to upset me but rather for me to give God permission to deal with it. Within a few days of my return to Calgary I read next in the local newspaper that one of the Sunday school teacher under the same pastor had been arrested for sexual molestation of the boys in his Sunday School class. The same Pastor now was too busy worried about his own reputation,  to be bad mouthing me now too.

 

LET ME TELL YOU FIRSTLY THAT STILL THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP YOU CAN HAVE DAILY IS NOT AT ALL WITH YOUR LOCAL CHURCH, DENOMINATION BUT RATHER WITH GOD, JESUS, THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH PRAYER, BIBLE STUDY, REPENTANCE..... AND HOW IS THAT RELATIONSHIP NOW?

Heavenly Father I pray that you will help all, all of the persons involved to look up to you, to trust in you alone firstly to supply all of their needs, to help them and not in any person wrongfully as well. Supply the poor people what they need through the persons  of your choice, not ours and through your means not ours..

(James 1:27 KJV)  Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.   (Deu 15:11 KJV)  For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.  (Phil 2:4 KJV)  Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.  (Mat 25:34 KJV)  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35   For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36  Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37  Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38  When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39  Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

 

PSALM 13: 5  But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.  6  I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

 

(Jer 6:27 KJV)  I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way. 28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters. 29  The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away. 30  Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.

 

(1 Corinthians 13:1 KJV)    Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4  Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8  Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9  For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10  But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11  When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12  For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13  And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
14:1  Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

(Luke 17:3 KJV)  Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

 

(Phil 2:15 KJV)  That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

 

(1 Tim 5:20 KJV)  Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

 

(2 Tim 4:2 KJV)  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

 

(Titus 1:13 KJV)  This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

 

(Titus 2:15 KJV)  These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

 

(Rev 3:19 KJV)  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

 

 

God Bless you.
