If you’re buying or selling the free word of GOD, the free gifts of GOD, or the free truth of GOD, then you are cursed with a curse from GOD.
Brothers and sisters, I don’t care if it’s your pastor, some man or woman you call a prophet, priest, apostle, evangelist, bishop, or minister, if they are selling the free word of GOD in the form of books, CD’S, tapes, revivals, conferences, and making merchandise out of GOD’S people in the process of it all, then surely you are cursed with a curse, “THUS SAYS THE LORD!”~
For how can you buy or sell something that is free? When even your carnal government does not sell the free merchandise it gives away for free, and on the free merchandise your carnal government gives away for free, it reads, “NOT FOR SALE, and DO NOT SALE”, for it is free!~
Now if your carnal American government possesses this simple type of wisdom, then why don’t your Pastors, prophets, apostles, bishops, religious leaders, church folks, and institutions called churches possess this type of simple wisdom?
Now I again I say, thus says the LORD, If you’re buying or selling the free word of GOD, the free gifts of GOD, or the free truth of GOD, then you are cursed with a curse from GOD.
(Matthew 10:6-8) JESUS SAYS, But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: FREELY you have received, FREELY GIVE.
(2 Kings 5:15-27) And Naaman returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant. But he said, As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused. And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules’ burden of earth? For thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the LORD. In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing. And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way. But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him. So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well? And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments. And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him. And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed. But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither. And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants? The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
(Acts 8:5-23) Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city. But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
Brothers and sisters, The bible tells two different stories of two men in the bible, one name is Gahazi, and the other man is known as Simon the Sorcerer.
Both men did evil in the sight of GOD, and both of these men were cursed by GOD, through the prophets of GOD!
Gahazi thought to receive money as payment for the miracle of GOD, that was performed by the prophet Elisha.
And because Gahazi thought within his heart to receive money for the free gift of GOD, but instead he received a curse from GOD, and that curse passed from one generation to another generation, for it was passed to his children, and to children’s seed forever.
Simon the Sorcerer thought within his heart to buy the free gift of the Holy Spirit from the prophet of GOD, with money, and he was cursed with a curse from GOD, because he thought he could buy the free gift of GOD with money.
Brothers and sisters, This curse happened to these two men in the natural realm, in the Old Testament.
Now if that curse fell upon them in the natural realm of the Old Testament Law, then what do you expect will happen to those who are in the dispensation of the spiritual realm, the new testament in CHRIST JESUS, but you’re still trying to do natural things in the spiritual realm.
That’s like trying to put old wine into new wineskins.
(Luke 5:36-39) JESUS SAYS, No man puts a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new makes a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new does not agree with the old.
And no man puts new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. No man also having drunk old wine straightway desires new: for he says, The old is better.
