Theme: people that’s dealing with greed are in ministry for the income, not for the outcome of a precious lost soul.
Church.
The Holy Spirit calls. Hope dealers false teachers they not being ministry they are being sinistry I’ve seen people sell the gospel for years now they are selling revival tickets show me anywhere in scripture where you have to buy a ticket to come to a revival service preachers know that people need to be revived and they are capitalizing off of revival. Sad but true these false teachers are just like Judas they are not hanging their selves. They are hanging their soul nothing will be talking out of this world with us. We need to be concerned about our souls.
Matthew 16:26
And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?[a] Is anything worth more than your soul?
Synopsis of our first synagogue.
People got mad at me because i would not pass the plate around i told them this is not about your money. This is about your soul people think if they give preachers money Yahweh will give them money. It don’t work like that to Yahweh be all the glory, my beloved wife, and i had one synagogue on our journey that’s when the Lord moved us to Harrisburg pa we never dealt with money we are free. Hope dealers when it came to being ministry the synagogue was in our basement it held 30 people comfortably no overhead mika designed the synagogue I’ve been outside preaching for 26 years and four months the Holy Spirit is teaching me about generational curses, and the will of God i never preached or taught about these things before because i did not have no understanding about them i never heard a sermon on them before learning and doing the will of God and being delivered from generational curses is vital i see John 8:36 different because of the revelation.
Matthew 10:8
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!
Conclusion.
2 PETER 2:3
And in their greed they will exploit you with false arguments and twisted doctrine. Their sentence [of condemnation which God has decreed] from a time long ago is not idle [but is still in force], and their destruction and deepening misery is not asleep [but is on its way].
Divine story time.
2 Peter 2:3 is the context of the Apostle Peter's warning against false teachers who have infiltrated the early church and are motivated by greed. Peter uses Old Testament examples of judgment to emphasize that these teachers, who distort scripture to exploit believers for financial gain, will not escape divine punishment. This verse, and the surrounding passage, serves as a warning for believers to remain discerning and vigilant against such deceptive individuals.
The false teachers' motives: Their primary motivation is "greed" and financial profit from the Christians they deceive. They deny Christ and corrupt the faith for selfish gain.
Their methods: They "exploit believers with fabricated stories" and distort the truth through "plastic words," meaning their teachings are molded to sound biblical but lack foundation.
A call to discernment: The passage serves as a cautionary tale, urging believers to be vigilant against false teachings and deceptive individuals who seek to manipulate them for their own selfish gain.
A farewell message: The letter is traditionally seen as Peter's final words before his martyrdom, making the warning particularly urgent as a message for future generations that means this message is for us in 2025
In examining the modern church, it becomes clear that many individuals are called into ministry with different motives—some driven by genuine desire to save souls, others motivated by greed and financial benefit. This misalignment is not new; the Bible has long warned against false teachers who exploit believers for profit, as highlighted in 2 Peter 2:3. These fraudulent ministers often employ persuasive but twisted doctrines, fabricating stories that deceive the faithful and promote selfish gain rather than true spiritual growth. One critical aspect of spiritual discernment today is recognizing these deceptive practices, especially when ministries begin to charge for revival services or other gospel-related events. This commercialization contradicts the teachings of Christ, who urged his followers to give and serve freely (Matthew 10:8). True ministry centers on the salvation and restoration of the soul, not on financial transactions or material benefits. Moreover, understanding the spiritual weight of our actions is paramount. Matthew 16:26 poses a compelling question: what profit is it to gain the world yet lose one’s soul? This verse serves as a sobering reminder that worldly success pales in comparison to spiritual well-being. Ministries focused solely on monetary gain risk losing their very soul in pursuit of worldly wealth, akin to Judas’s betrayal. The discussion around generational curses and God’s will is also vital in contemporary preaching. These themes, once obscure, are gaining importance as believers seek holistic deliverance and freedom through deep spiritual insights (John 8:36). By embracing these teachings, ministers can guide congregations towards genuine emancipation from spiritual bondage, reinforcing a ministry rooted in the transformative power of God’s word rather than manipulation. This message is timely for 2025, urging believers to be vigilant and discerning, to support ministries that prioritize soul-winning and spiritual revival over financial exploitation. The early church faced similar challenges, and today’s believers must learn from scripture and history to protect their faith from those who distort the gospel for selfish ends. In conclusion, engaging with ministry demands more than attendance or financial support; it requires spiritual wisdom, vigilance, and a heart aligned with God's will. True hope dealers are those who serve selflessly, focusing on eternal outcomes rather than temporal gain.
