I have often been asked the question "Should a gifted person with gifts charge money?" Money is not the root of all evil it is how money is used that is evil.This misunderstanding of money is still a program in our unconsciousness and could be the reason why many don't charge for readings or people don't pay readers for the use of their spiritual gifts.Because of the confusion, many gifted readers feel guilty accepting money for their advice using their gifts or think it should be given freely because God gave it to them freely.In my classes, we talk about this topic many times and never came to an answer.In all my years of doing readings with my gifts, I have accepted money and thought about the money as a blessing.I have had many requests for free readings and usually do give it to someone who needs a reading that has no money to pay.I am sure everyone with gifts has done the same thing.
Is there such a thing as making a living using our psychic gifts?We know that other gifts of God like playing the piano or singing God's praises get paid for their use of the gifts.I guess we need to understand what are the gifts are and how we all use them.We are given these gifts to help and represent God on this planet.Some people are afraid to use their gifts because they have never been told where the gifts come from.Most people have been told they are evil.The Bible says "all good gifts come from God" so using the gifts to help someone sounds like a good way to use the gifts doesn't it?Just like money is not evil but how it is used.So if someone using the gifts for evil intent than that would not be for God's purposes.
Children of God are worthy and should value all that God has given them.In the Bible, gifts were given to defeat armies and the enemies of God's children. The stories tell of God providing strength and healing through the gifts of God.Was there any payment given? The rewards were many things such as David being made a king and Abraham given a child for following God.Gold was the exchange in Bible times and many kings were blessed by God with gold.Some people think that pastors and preachers shouldn't get pay.The churches provide homes and transportation for some
Why are the gifts so unappreciated by so many?Is it because they were given freely or fakes took money from people?Well, that is part of the problem and many preachers call all psychics fakes and have no understanding of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. in our time.Yes, there were many fakes in Bible times and there are fakes in our time.But no everyone using their gifts is a fake because they charge money.This is what many people say because they have been taken in by fakes.I know that we have all been fooled by someone telling us messages from the other side.And yes we have heard many tell us about our future and it didn't come true.We do need discernment in all these things we hearWhen a prophet is real and listing to God for information the information was already given to us they are just confirming what God has already told us.That is in the Bible. If something is not our own truth then that person is not listing to God.We all know that paying money for more and more information and it is not helping us we should beware.
The gifts are numerous and are given freely to each child of God.The gifts are listed in the Bible in the book of Corinthians.In the time of Paul, the gifts were misunderstood in the church and Paul observed so much confusion he wrote many letters to the church about how to keep order in the churches went using spiritual gifts.Even in our churches in our time, the gifts are not used in many churches and this caused many children of God to leave the churches and share their gifts in the world.In the Bible, there were many children outside the church called pagans because they used herbs and other gifts of the Holy Spirit without the control of a leader of the church.they were shamed.The church wanted the pagans to come in their churches so the church took some of the festivals of the pagans into their churches.The gifts of prophecy were being done outside of the churches before the churches were established. There had always been gifts of the spirit that were being used by the children of God.
I have had an office and taken money many times in the past On my radio shows I sometimes ask for donations to help me pay for the shows.I don't get many donations and the time is here to reconsidered if I should continue the shows.I am on social security and prices are going up every day with the internet and the show price I will have to quit after 45 years. I am sad but I need to think of my rent, Dr bills, and my dog.I am not asking for money for my readings because of the state many people are in.I get no money for my writings or my youtube videos either.So I will have to shut down and get a part time job.Thank you reading my blog.
