There Are Sometimes Problems In The Church

By Dwight Stevenson


For many years, the media has been attacking top televangelists such as: Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyers, Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes and many others. They have been attacked because of their material value for the most part. The media try to say that these evangelists and pastors bring in millions of dollars a year and live in luxurious homes. However, is it ever a sin to live this way if the poor and starving all around us? Are pastors supposed to be held on a higher level as a representation of how to live.

It is important to first understand that being wealthy is not a sin. Great men of God such as: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job, David and many others were all rich. Even Moses lived in a palace. If being rich were a sin, then these men would not have been considered messengers of God or anointed men and women of God. It's interesting to see that men and women of God are always getting picked on. Many people believe that they should only live in a basic home with a poverty looking effect to it. The true question is, can these men and women really live like your average "Joe" on the street.

When I became a psychic, I was shocked to find out how many Christian's were calling me. I thought that people that did not believe in Jesus would be calling me. However, nothing could be further from the truth. My telephone began to ring off the wall when people found out that I was a Christian psychic. I was fortunate enough to begin my psychic practice when the internet was invented. I know that many Christians prophets from the past would have loved to have the opportunity to work on the psychic hotline if they could. The prophets of the past would often not get paid anything for giving a prophetic word for someone. John the Baptist lived in the wilderness.

I want to call this man John. John said to me, "How can I change? When will I be a better man? Is God punishing me?" I had to meditate on this. I often get asked a lot of questions by people because I am a prophetic ministry. I said to the man, "Please tell me that you feel ashamed and guilty for what you have done." He said, "I do. I feel so ashamed and embarrassed at all the pain that I have caused people. I am now 50 and heading towards the later part of my life." He said, "I am so sorry for what I have done." I said to him, "Go and apologize to as many people as you possibly can. Tell them how sorry you are until you feel like the guilt is gone from your mind. If it is there, it will always be a part of you." He agreed that he would do everything in his power to release this inner pain and to confess his wrongs that he did against others.

His board chooses to pay him a salary that he is comfortable with. It's obvious that he cares about people or he wouldn't be getting up in front of millions of people each week preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is passionate about what he does, and he deserves to get paid. He should not be forced to live like a poor person because he is a pastor. He is meant to live a life that God has called him to.
