My Emphasis
Right from the beginning, evil has always been the opposite of good. When they were building cathedrals across Europe, people contributed money to build them. Many of those who contributed money were members of the Freemasons. The demons possessed the cathedrals! This was the first place they used rope to tie themselves. If you build a magnificent house, who will live there? Did you build it for animals? When the demons possessed the churches, they began stealing the heart of every church member by discouraging them. This was how the churches in Europe became dead.
On a Sunday service, all the offerings that were contributed, if the Father opens your eyes to see the demons that are attached to an individual’s money, you’ll run away. And anything of the Father, where you invite everybody to make donations, you willingly give demons open invitation. The Father gave Moses very strict instructions when He asked him to take a contribution for Him. Many people’s contribution was rejected. The Father still stand on it today. In many of our churches today, if the Holy Spirit opens your eyes to what’s going on there, you’ll weep. You cannot encourage church members to borrow money from their bank because you want to build a place of worship. Once they have a grudging heart, there will be chaos. This was why the Father said offering should be brought cheerfully, not grudgingly.
When the Master visited the Temple, after watching those who brought offerings, what did He say to His Disciples? “Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”” (Mark 12:41-44 and Luke 21:1-4). Why? Because He saw the demons that were attached to an individual’s money!
As children of the Father, in every area, you must be watchful and very careful about what you lay your hands. No matter what you’re passing through, if God is God, let Him prove Himself in your life. If you work with your hands, no matter how little you receive from them, give the Father His due. Your heart and your life are more important to Him than anything. And if your heart and life are for Him, you’ll know what to give to Him. Believe and trust in the Word of the Father. Don’t allow any hungry servant of God to mislead you. Pursue holiness and attain it. This is the only thing that can give you peace and through which you’ll see the glory of the Father. May the Lord give you the grace to walk with Him in Jesus' name.
