ICYMI: iRepent for buying & selling in the temple
For years I sold ministry (concerts, parties, conferences, etc). My wife and I also bought and sold merchandise in congregations. Over time God has shown me that this is wrong and is against what He commanded. We repented and completely stopped doing this in 2013.
We have repented to God and to all of you. We have been testifying against our actions ever since, but if you didn’t know, now you know! Please forgive us for this grievance. God’s house should be a house of prayer and focus on God, not on buying and selling to one another – creating a place where thieves can hide out.
Jesus was the Son of God made flesh walking in full power and authority and NEVER ONE TIME did he sell ministry. The wealth and offerings that people gave Him was of their own wisdom, will, and desire.
Many people may not agree, but the scriptures are very clear:
John 2: 16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
Mark 11:17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
