Who is God Speaking To?

God the Father

Psalm 91:14–16 (NKJV)14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”

Some more truth. There is a prophet's reward many will receive for supporting someone who is called to that office. Since I love ya, I am going to warn ya. Do not think you will get away with mocking or coming against one of HIs children. If it is in your hearts to support this ministry, I welcome you with open arms. On the other hand, God does protect His children.

People who do not know God or have a changed heart--a giving heart- will argue about giving finances to churches and ministries. The truth is, how are you--those who are not called to fivefold ministry going to fulfil the great commission? Yep, by sending those who are; God loves a cheerful giver for a reason--that is who He is and will forever be-- a loving God that gives. #raisedfaith
