.Ye Are Cursed With a Curse.

Slowly the Evangelist picks up his Bible, and looks into the TV camera with a look of great seriousness. He opens the Bible and begins to speak: "I am reading tonight from the 3^rd Chapter of Malachi, beginning at V. 8.Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

I watched Paul Crouch, at the beginning of a TBN Telethon about two years ago, as he told the TV audience at the beginning of the Telethon: "God told me: "don't come to me, unless you bring me something"!  {Ed} I thought to myself, God did not say that, it was an outright lie! But Malachi 3:9, ..has been used as a "hammer" on the TV audience, and, in many Churches now for several years. Crouch is on record boldly declaring,  that Christians dare not stand before God without a gift, that anyone failing to give financial support after enjoying a benefit from TBN is "robbing God", and, will lose heavenly rewards!  Can you believe such a statement?

Crouch seems to never get enough in pledges, and sacrificial giving. In one of his tirades, Crouch stated: ".they're damned and on their way to hell, and I don't think there is any redemption for them." "I say,  to hell with you! Get out of my life!  Get out of the way!  Quit blocking God's bridges". "I don't care about your doctrines, as long as you name the name of Jesus, as long as you believe he died  and was buried, but came out of the tomb on Sunday morning and ascended to the Father.  I don't care about anything else!  Let's join hands  to get the gospel preached to the whole world".

It is thought today by many professing Christians, that you can lie, steal, manipulate at will, as long as some of the money goes into God's work. "Does GOD CONDONE ALL OF THE DECEPTION GOING ON TODAY IN MANY MINISTRIES, IN ORDER TO GET THE GOSPEL OUT TO THE WORLD?  Does God sanction wrong-sin! I think not. I watched one "evangelist" as he acted out the ritual of pretending to carry something across the platform in his arms, and taking it and laying it out in front of the Lord. He gave him (the Lord) something! One preacher made this remark: "nuthin from nuthin" leaves nuthin! I know, I spelled it wrong. He went on to say: "If you don't give God sumpin, you don't get nuthin! It was easy to tell who GOD WAS that night, as you brought your offering (tithe) to the storehouse, to this "Evangelist".

{I have never seen God get so angry, as He apparently does, when people refuse to bring Him his tithes"! Ye are cursed, He said!}

Part of the money, that people brought to God that day on the TBN Telethon, I am sure that some of it went for some of the 30 (thirty) homes for Paul and Jan Crouch, that the Los Angeles Times, said were spread out in different states. But, I am sure God was pleased. Are Evangelist's and Pastors, not afraid to threaten and coerce the sheep, by using this Malachi 3:10 scripture in the word of God, and, to fulfill their own greedy needs at that?

Since Malachi 3:9.. fits in with the "prosperity gospel" that is being sold today on the Christian market to the highest bidder, and, to those with the "highest pledge", the chance of getting caught in "this life" seems to be worth the risk of preaching "another gospel".  Do you know what the word "accursed" means?  It means to be anathematized, or, damned forever! There are those Ministers I see, that are willing to be "accursed for ever" just to rake in the mammon world today! I realize we are speaking on tithing, and giving, and we will get to that soon. Did you not realize, that God will "damn you forever" for not sending Him, his tithes?  Was the Apostle Paul concerned about tithing, or, "perverting and twisting the gospel"?

Many say: I just give to the  Lord, whatever they do with it, is between them and God!  My friend, if God don't get it, you are not giving to God! Many times it is being channeled into many of their own  pet projects, and, their own  personal funds.  If people would care sometimes to just use the intelligence that God gave them, some of these outrageous lies of "people being cursed for not tithing  to some Ministry, or Church," could easily be proven false!   Does it make any sense, that a world that is lost without Christ, and, the men and women that are headed for a devils Hell without repentance toward God, and that after having loved this old world so much, that God gave His only begotten Son to die a cruel death on a Cross at Calvary, would the following scenario  make any sense?

For example: A sinner prays, and after years of being a drunkard, thief, adulterer, liar, he finally comes to repentance to Christ, but he fails to "tithe" (for what ever reason), and God says: "Ye are cursed with a curse"! You don't tithe! We might ask the question, Is God broke? According to many ministers today, He can barely get by in Heaven, as He watches every dime that is pledged to "HIS WORK".

I CAN EASLY PROVE, THAT THE LIES THESE CHARLITANS ARE SPEWING OUT, ARE JUST THAT-LIES! Isn't it very strange, that you don't hear these same "ministers" tell of God "cursing anyone", for lying, adultery, stealing, murder, rape, incest, greed, hatred, or, wife stealing, or, even the sin of homosexuality? No, God apparently "only gets angry", when He doesn't get your tithes!  And "His tithes", go directly to the Minister who is talking to you right then on Television! Every Minister that uses this method, (the Malachi verse), will God have mercy, as these false ministers have placed an undue heavy burden, fear, and guilt trip, on those that are poor, unlearned, undiscerning, and unknowledgeable of His word today.

If any of the millionaire Evangelists, and Pastors, (and, I don't just mean millionaire "singular", for several of them who push the hardest for pledges, have 2 and 3 "hundred million" coming in every year) if any of them would gave one million dollars, and, if this junk worked like they say it does, THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER TELETHON! They would have "billions" of dollars. But they know, that it is just that, "lies", so they pervert God's Holy scriptures over and over, to try and brainwash Christians into giving all "the traffic will bear". AND SADLY ENOUGH, IT WORKS!

Did you know, that the PTL Club, (Jim, and Tammy Faye Bakker) once stationed in Charlotte, NC, were taking in "one million dollars a day", when the scandal broke on PTL? And they were still begging until arrested and carted off to jail! BE SURE YOUR SINS WILL FIND YOU OUT! Do you remember, that  as soon as  Jim Bakker got out of prison, he wrote a book titled "I WAS WRONG"!  He told of the many scriptures he had  used to bilk God's people, and,  how he had been so wrong!  At least Jim owned up to his lying, and manipulating the Word of God, that is more than many have done!

What are some other curses in the Bible, and, what were they given for? Here is a curse, and, it is in the "same book" of Malachi that many of these shysters use for "coercing" God's people, but you NEVER hear them read this one either! I would venture to say, that not one person listening to this message, has ever at any time,  heard the "evangelist"  read  this curse!  Just ONE chapter before their pet "money grabbing scripture in Malachi", we read:

It was not MONEY, that caused God to curse them, it was because "they refused to give glory to God's name"! God said: I'll curse your blessings, yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart, or, because you do not think that it is important to give glory to my name. If folks would listen at times, they would hear the complete contradiction of some of these "learned ones", "Men of God" they call themselves. "OBEY THE MAN OF GOD"!   I have heard many of these Ministers preach: "All the gold and silver are mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills, what can you give me"?   They go on to say: "God owns it all, everything belongs to Him". Then, for the remaining portion of the Telecast, or their sermon in the church service, they continue begging for the "gold " that God doesn't need!

I believe, that the using of God's holy word for financial gain, will meet with a curse from God Almighty, whither they have some kind of ministry or not, it will make no difference whither it be  large or small.  It is not that man "shouldn't tithe", but, it is the method and abuse, of the way God's word is used to "get that tithe", when fleecing the sheep! The constant use, and repetition from ministers of the "Little widows cruise of oil", "make me the first cake the prophet said", "Plant that seed in my ministry, it is good soil"! "the more you sacrifice to the Lord, the more He will bless you", all these we hear, as the prophets cry day and night! Is it worth it to lie on God, and misrepresent His word in a ministry, for the temporary benefit of bleeding an audience?

Beloved, the hour is late, and God's Holy Spirit is seeking the hearts of men and women today, as He knocks at their hearts door. Jesus will return again, and, the days before He returns,  will be days of great turmoil and upheaval in this old world. With out God, "YOU WILL BE CURSED"! Lost for all eternity, without God, family, loved ones, and most of all, lost with out Jesus Christ as your wonderful Savior. Hell will be your eternal home, and you can be assured just as if you were already there!

Regardless of how others misuse God's word, it is still a necessity for each of us, to come to the Lord and ask for forgiveness of our sins. "except a man be born again, he can not enter the kingdom of heaven"! If you feel the tug of God's Spirit dealing with your heart, will you not come right now, and lay down your heavy burden of sin at the feet of Jesus? God DOESN'T WANT YOU TO BRING HIM ANYTHING! He just wants YOU to come as YOU are right now, and bring only yourself and your sins, and hand them all to Him.

If you will confess them to the Lord, He knows what to do with them. Start anew with a new life, a new perspective, a new purpose! Dear friend, don't let this opportunity pass you by, you may never get another chance to come to the Lord. I am a witness, God can change your life, regardless of how deep in sin you have gone. His precious blood, can wash it all away in just a moment's time. Will you come now?

God put all the broken pieces together again, AND HE WILL DO THE SAME FOR YOU AS YOU (listen) READ THIS. Will you let Him? God removed the greatest CURSE of my life that day, the curse of sin!   I'll close with this thought. I have seen many things over the past 41 years. I have met some wonderful ministers of God, and, I have met some of the greediest wolves imaginable. God gave me a love for His word, and, I don't like to see it perverted.

Maybe God will use you in these closing hours of time, to take a stand for what is right. First, surrender your life to Him, and then God will take care of the future as you seek to serve Him. He will never leave or forsake you. In all of the troubling days ahead, (and there are going to be many) He will be your friend! Jesus will always be there when you need Him!  As you have (listened) read to this message, you decide who IS "CURSED WITH A CURSE"!
