They are selling healing and deliverance. An angel of light has sent a doctrine of demons from hell.
It is a horrifying video. As a child writhes on the floor the preacher is telling the mother she must sow money to seal the child’s deliverance.
They sell healing and deliverance. They use slick terms to hide it. They will vehemently deny it. But it is a doctrine of demons from hell.
I doubt seriously that I have ever been this angry about anything in the charismatic movement before.
Preachers suggesting payments.
Preachers suggesting payment from innocent victims in exchange for healing and deliverance? If you are not outraged, you are part of the sickness.
Not only do they suggest payment before the healing and deliverance they also push for it afterwards to seal the deal.
How is this possible? It is possible because of the widespread focus on exotic experiences that has become part of our movement rather than focusing on the Bible. Don’t get me wrong. I love the Spirit-filled movement. And I am no traitor to it.
Why do I say I am no traitor? Because some will accuse me of siding with the cessationists who are raging against Pentecostal and Charismatics in a record number of videos.
Because we do not correct ourselves.
I am siding only with truth. And let’s be honest, many charismatic ministries have given plenty of ammunition to our critics.
Because we did not correct ourselves, we opened the door to widespread scandal and then discreditation.
But this is the lowest yet. And begs the question: how in the world can we tolerate such insanity when we are already under a theological microscope?
So let’s get to this doctrine of demons itself. Did you ever hear a preacher say, “you must sow to your miracle”? or, “you must sow to seal your healing or deliverance”? The inference is unavoidable. It is ‘pay to play’.
This is something the Bible condemns in the highest manner. I will show you how in the end of this blog. For now let’s look at their tricks.
They twist verses to deceive.
In fact, they twist verses to deceive. When Elisha sold his oxen to follow Elijah they infer that he was sowing to Elijah. That is patently false. Then they cite the practice of giving a thank offering when people were healed of leprosy. That was clearly giving thanks to God. They were not buying a warranty on their healing.
Peter said it so clearly. “Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money! (Acts 8:20)
And another thing. I can’t believe I even have to say that miracles and deliverance are free! You see how far we have fallen?
These false apostles will never admit that they are doing this. But there is no doubt. If you mention money in the same breath as healing and deliverance, you are selling. And you are bringing severe judgment on yourself.
Here is the bottomline.
Here is the bottom line on this doctrine of demons. Naaman the Syrian general with leprosy comes to Elisha for healing. After healing, Naaman offers to sow into the healing with a gift to the prophet.
2 Kings 5:15, “And he returned to the man of God, he and all his aides, and came and stood before him; and he said, “Indeed, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.”
16 But he said, “As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing.” And he urged him to take it, but he refused.”
However, Gehazi Elisha’s servant invented what we now see in these corrupt modern preachers: “But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “Look, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, while not receiving from his hands what he brought; but as the Lord lives, I will run after him and take something from him.” So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him, and said, “Is all well?”
And he said, “All is well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Indeed, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the mountains of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of garments.’”
Gehazi was charging Naaman money for his healing. This brought the wrath of God.
So Naaman said, “Please, take two talents.” And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and handed them to two of his servants; and they carried them on ahead of him. When he came to the citadel, he took them from their hand, and stored them away in the house; then he let the men go, and they departed.”
Gehazi thought he had gotten away with it but the wrath of God was waiting. Now he went in and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, “Where did you go, Gehazi?”
And he said, “Your servant did not go anywhere.”
Then he said to him, “Did not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants? Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever.” And he went out from his presence leprous, as white as snow” (2 Kings 5:20-27).
Meanwhile, Thank God healing and deliverance are abundantly available because Jesus paid it all!
Wow, infuriating. This is a great warning. Angels of light can be demons bringing demonic doctrine. Test the spirits & know whether they are from God (paraphrased). So important as we get closer & closer to the end times to have sharp discernment. Actually to have Perspicacity. That word puts it best. We’ve followed your ministry since 1973. Keep on doing the Word as you are! ♥️♥️♥️
I got healed of a dislocated jaw I had for 40 years while watching Mario live at one of his tent crusades. I was praying for all the others in the audience as they were being healed and then, not until the next morning did I realize my jaw was healed and I could eat again without horrible pain. God works even through the internet.
Does Katherine Krick One of the Ones who Ask for Payment to Pray For People?
We were purchased at a great price. With no repayment required. I truly believe we are going to see men dropping dead at the pulpit for committing such blasphemy against the Lord and those seeking help from ministries.
Abominations come with a price and those in ministry are held at a higher accountability.
It is beyond disgusting to see someone seeking monetary gain for doing what we were commissioned to do. If it’s not for freedom for a child and the Glory of God, then this so called ministry will find themselves without excuse before our King.
Seeing a person set free after deliverance is rewarding in itself.
It’s all about Him and we’re just the conduit in between.
We will see God move, and whoa to those selling what Jesus bought with His blood.
Thank you, Mario! For standing up and exposing while others keep silent.
Blessings,
Yes
Yes, because we don’t correct ourselves or accept correction from others. We need to embrace the proverb, a wise man loves correction. Yet too many get offended and angry or scoff back. I’ve been walking w the Lord for 3 years and I’m ever mindful of the sin of pride because that is what kept me from knowing him. Lord keep us humble so we don’t stumble.
Thank you so much!!
I have withdrawn from ministries when they sell healing and received a scorching letter with curses from one that said I must come to a “school of healing ” in Florida. Thank you for reminding me it is doctrines of devils!!
We have preachers doing this today
What a wonderful verse to cite! Thank you Kathleen!
Amen! Màtthew 10:8 instructs us to – Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE.
My question is, are the deliverances that happen real or faked? If real and the demonic is being excised that’s good. We need more of it, but in the parameters of Gods Word and held accountable by the Church Body. I am glad the church is calling this out!
It is so true. I have been living with HIV aids for 45 years. I’ve seen it all Preacher’s doctors medical field. They’re all from the Pit. Of Hell. Keep up the good work Mario you’re always in my prayers. I always ask the Lord to let me go up in the rapture alive. I want to experience it not to be asleep, although they will have front row seats, but I wanna experience it live and you know what my prayers has been answered. We only have 2 1/2 years left. I believe no one knows a day or time only the father, but I am going up in a rapture very soon the world says I have AIDS, but Jesus says no I love him with all my heart and I thank him for bringing me out of Sodom and Gomorrah a long time ago.
Thank you for being the truth forth!
Truth
1 kings 19.21 Elisha sacrificed his oxen as a offering, the wood part of harness and plow apparatus was the fuel burnt,,,as Gehazi didn’t get away with it, neither those today or of any time…like the cool aid preacher , sadly, with him many followers perished…Shalom Shalom
Expose them. Name them. Separate yourselves from them. Once the cash cow dries up then maybe they will repent.
We need real names just as there were real names given in the Bible.
How about a call center for the 700 Club prayer line asking if you are a member, and asking for your address & phone number before they pray on the phone for you. That’s also a means of obtaining payment.
I can think of one person who calls herself a pastor and does these unscrupulous things.
Thank you for telling the truth
For the love of money, many churches have fallen.
Amen. Freely you have received, freely you give.
Thank you for speaking the truth, Mario Murillo. It is abominable to sell what can never be sold. Forgiveness, healing, and deliverance have been paid in full by Jesus Christ on the cross. No payment can ever be made for it. Anyone who tries to sell salvation in any facet will hear what Simon the sorcerer heard: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!” (Acts 8:20).
Thank you Mario for this teaching and insight. This has been bothering me for a long time. I’m a very generous giver, but when people like Richard Roberts asks for money after prayer for healing it really bothers me. When I see others do this for their personal gain makes me ill. The story of Gehazi was spot on and useful for teaching! Thank you for sharing this with us today.
People need you pay close attention to the story.In 2 king’s 5. God is making it abundantly clear how he feels about stealing while using miracles. The church needs to open her eyes and see what the Lord is warning us about.
What’s really disgusting too is they take from people who can least afford it and think nothing of it. Plus they brag about all the material THINGS they have!!!!! God’s wrath will be a great awakening for these rotten, sleazy people!!!!
The sad part is that this is what’s turning people away from the true Gospel thinking that we’re all the same , thank you for sharing Mario , God bless.
Amen! It is finished “sozo”. To save, rescue, heal and/or make whole. Praise God that He paid it all for us!!!
Thank you for making this so clear. It is sad to see how much these teachings on “sowing into” ministries have spread.
SO WELL SAID DEAR BROTHER!!
Amen!!!!!!!!!!
Or I suppose one could also raise an eyebrow at certain ministers who seem to always “prophecy” favorable political “words” to accommodate the “company line”. May God purify His leadership and His ministers with His Holy fire before they perish under His authentic Glory.
Thank you brother for speaking the truth boldly and directly. It does seem so much of the church “leadership” has become a cesspool of greed, materialism, and entertainers. May God deal with them according to His Will and may He also cleanse His church of this cancer!
Thank you brother for telling the truth. I’m with you, that this is so wrong. I thought of Peter telling that guy about the gift of God not being for sale.
And the story of Elisha’s servant was powerful. These people are playing with judgement! I pray that they’ll see, care and repent.
Thank you for helping so many people and keeping your integrity.
Love and Shalom to you all.❤️🌸💜
Thank you for sharing this truth !
Thanks Mario for making clear the love and consideration our Lord Jesus has for us. He did indeed pay it all!
I look forward to all of your blogs and your wonderful words of wisdom, that constantly remind us, and lead us to God’s Word and His absolute TRUTH on every subject! Thank you Mario!
This is well written and so true! I have a suggestion . You should speak with the White House faith advisor because this person is on video doing the exact thing you are writing about. I am concerned that my president doesn’t seem to have discernment in this most important area.
As always, Charismatics and Pentecostals are their own worst enemy. It boils down to ego/pride mixed with greed and idolatry. And people in the pew rally around such until the offense is so atrocious that it can’t be ignore–and still they will make excuses and justifications.
Money has become too much of a big deal among leadership. They want to move the life and claim it’s from God but it’s really from everyday people who struggle. Why do they need 100000 cars, mansions and expensive steaks for dinner while the people who give to them can’t pay their bills on time. God will take care of his people regardless if they give to these ministers. I’m not saying we shouldn’t give but it’s gotten out of control and charismatic leadership is acting and living like Hollywood
AMEN, Brother Mario!
Thank You for clearly exposing the charlatans of our day; wolves in sheep’s clothing working damnation unto themselves while bringing disgrace to the grace & power of The Lord God Almighty!
Thank you! Blessed be The Name of The Lord! AMEN
Your are so right on Mario!!!! Thank you for your insightful warnings! There are not enough Christians, preachers, etc. who are warning Christians of the deceptive wolves in sheeps clothing that Jude, the half brother of Jesus, warned us about in his letter. Many years ago I was baptized in the Spirit and building up my spirit by speaking in tongues has enabled me to grow so much in my daily walk with God. What a wonderful gift. But now charlatans and phony preachers have stepped in teaching Christians damnable heresies and doctrines of demons claiming to be of the Spirit or from Jesus.
We have someone in our area who has become a big name in the area of Deliverance. He has a list of almost 200 things he delivers people of… for an “offering” of $70 an hour and gullible pentecostals, charismatics, Word of Faith people are flocking to him in droves from nearby states.
Then self styled “Apostle” Kathryn Krick has risen from obscurity 9 years ago to drawing crowds of five thousand people for the most deceptive and dangerous teachings. Even in our movements we have big name preachers who cause the name of God to be blasphemed among unbelievers because we do nothing to warn people of their cunning deceptions. “Holy Laughter” is coming back again with deceptions, teachings and kundalini type reactions that many think are manifestations of the Holy Spirit. And now people are chasing after feelings, power trips and manifestations they mistakenly believe are God or the Holy Spirit They are not. They are not of God. They are from an unholy spirit that the Bible warhs us of over and over! They are deceptions and there are not enough discerning Christians to tell the difference! How tragic! How have we gotten into this position? Why is not the Church dealing with these charlatans?
Multiple sclerosis is killing me. It’s hard to walk now. I use a cane. I’m exhausted. I have sight and hearing issues. I can’t think clearly, the list goes on. The prescribed treatments cause in me the brain infection PML. The Biden clot shot gave me atrial fibrillation. I believe. I pray. Jesus did die for my sins. I’m 71 and waiting to die. The heat and humidity of Georgia is intolerable when outside of A/C. I don’t have the resources to move. If I could touch Jesus, my health would return. Can you help me?
In the name of Jesus I speak to your body and command it to be healed. Jesus stripes paid for your healing when he took your sins away. Rise up and thank him for the healing that is already yours and receive it by faith just like you did your salvation. It’s a full package deal. Don’t settle for less than He paid for!
If you are in Georgia, pray about going to the North Georgia Revival. I attached their website. (Christ Fellowship in Dawsonville) You will find many testimonies. Notice the fifth one down – Dawn’s powerful testimony of being healed of Multiple Sclerosis. Thousands have been healed and delivered since 2018. If Jesus will do it for Dawn, He will do it for you!
Thank you, Mario.
“Freely you have received, freely give.”
Lord Jesus, help us see when you are freely giving us free stuff to give away–stuff that you already “Paid In Full” for.
this has been going on for a while, especially in word of faith, we’ve seen preachers come out on tbn, where you have preached, practicing that type of fund reasoning methods…. I’m not completely off word of faith, because there is truth there but yes we need to search our hearts, search the scriptures and correct ourselves …. I believe in the supernatural, I believe in supernatural finances but yes there is a subtlety to the message of giving where we cannot buy our healing or financial provision, only the cross
Gracious! Short term memory: The whips in Jesus hands? Luke 12 around verse 40? We get a little drunk on our own plans. We forget that part (?) of the Pharisees big worry was cash in the temple and Jesus never seem to lack.
There is a lot of running around and evidence that more is known about sheep’s finances than tending the sheep.
Last night the dogs barked late. Many nights I’m kept from sleeping as the baptist neighbor has witnessed, “the withes run behind my house in the woods. I awake feeling the soul spirits watching, and mother’s hearing aid chirps from disconnect, unable to use the next day (yeah digital too). Alabama has an “no stalking law”, but not a police dept that can put an end to corruption or a church that destroys darkness. It is a money and cover my sin darkness, but never a finger lifted, a I John 1:9 relationship, a John 10:1 use the front door. No one has any idea how much danger they are in. When you die being cast into outer darkness is much different than an angel leading you through a portal heaven.
And church, you who stand before Jesus Christ where is the work of the evangelist. Guess I’m getting carried away, but we scorn of the last days and don’t take His Word seriously. In Christ, June
You are right. It is wrong to ever ask for money or gifts for performing a healing or for a deliverance. Both are by the power and grace of God and Jesus already paid the price.
Prayers for The Holy Spirit to stop by Denver, and Colorado, and the Holy warrior angels and Heavenly hosts need to kick out ALL the evil spirits and demons operating in this beautiful but troublesome State of Colorado and it’s capital city.
Yes, there is a bunch of greed non-sense going around!
Lord bring repentance on those who are involved in this and
on those who follow their examples, in Jesus’ Mighty Name.
This is so awesome I really enjoyed it
I really wish you was closer I would never miss anything at all.
Let’s all pray for Jesus to send angels to bind the demons that are blinding the leaders of the Body of Christ. The American Church is asleep. All that has been said is so true. Pray for repentance on the part of our church leaders!! We have authority to use the Name of Jesus. Let’s do it!!!
Let’s all pray for the leaders of the American church to repent. We have authority to use Jesus’ Name against the demonic realm controlling the leaders in the Body of Christ that are doing this!!!
