THIEVES

I was present in a church one evening, where the pastor said, that God told him right now to have a Psalms No. ____ money offering, to receive money for their building fund, then there was loud shouting by the congregation in agreement, and 5 minute drum roll, and the passing of the buckets to collect the offering. Several other offerings had just previously been taken.
In another church I heard another pastor, at the close of her meeting, tell the people to form two lines, one for the people giving the Psalms No. ____ offering, she was calling for, for her to give them a prophetic word, and the other for those not giving an offering that were requesting prayer.

A bucket was placed on the floor by the front near the pastor, then the two lines formed. The people in the shorter line, were able to give the large offering, and received the majority of her time. Then we were told the meeting had to come to a close and everyone had to leave. The people, who were still waiting in the longer line requesting prayer from her, then had to leave.

I was in another church, where they would lock the exit doors during offering time, so everyone would be present when the offering was taken.

The Spirit of God does not operate this way. God doesn't fleece His flock.

“What sorrow awaits the leaders of my people—the shepherds of my sheep—for they have destroyed and scattered the very ones they were expected to care for,” says the Lord. Jeremiah 23:1 NLT.

He said to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, love you me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Love you me? And he said to him, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep. John 21:17 AKJV
