Show Me the Money

and they hand down pastorships to their sons and sons-in-laws as if they were part of a Levitical lineage ... with no or little concern to being Spirit-led or .... whether or not Junior Levite is qualified or not.

I certainly understand what you are saying here. I am disgusted at what I see among the ministry in these days of oppulence. However, you may rest assured that God will surely judge the ministry (the house of the Levite) as certainly as he will the recalcitrant.

A worldly loving Preacher wallowing in his oppulence, even if he has no T.V. (which seems to be the standard) is going to meet up with Melchezidec and it will not be pretty. There will be a slaughter, but not of kings but of the Priest. The Priesthood has certain responsibilities with the money that comes into his hands far beyond and not primarily his OWN financial well being.

No wonder I sensed a change. The stock market is going through the clouds, the economy is flushed with money, but the priests and levites are deaf, dumb and blind and do not know it. I hear so much preaching that is preceeded with words such as, "I've heard from God and I am going to preach what He has laid on my heart." Not long into the preaching, it becomes quite evident that he has heard nothing but his own vain imaginations.

Then, I express a lamentation over the state of spiritual affairs. What then follows is more than a thousands responses on two different threads. Is the city completely empty? Did the destroyer come and take away EVERY SOUL into captivity to a strange land? I yell throughout once busy streets, now empty..."Hello out there...are there any left in the city...hello!!!!!!!!!! Answer me...anyone!

OK... again, 'nuff said.

Some have a much too inflated picture of themselves. Good grief.
