Freely You Have Been Given, Freely Give - A Wakeup Call For Christian Ministries!

Jesus said, "These people honor me with their lips but their hearts are far from me." Jesus went into the Temple twice with whips to stop the selling in His Father's house and yet many churches have little book and resources shops in their churches and making a good business of the lessons they have learned in the ministry. If Jesus was still here, he would rip those bookshops apart also. Read on...

Do you know how much a 1000 DVD'S with a six page glossy booklet inside, that have great covers on them cost in Australia?

It costs $2000. That is $2.00 each. So a pack of 14 DVD'S in one pack would not cost more than $28.

There is a DVD pack of a prophet's conference that I want to buy, but I am very poor and cannot afford the price of US$225. That is about $320 for me and that would take me about four months to save up.

It's a sad thing, but major Christian ministries are making good profits on all their books and DVD'S. All the books could be available as a PDF file and free to download as well as the DVD's.

I am quite happy to say that if Jesus was on earth in public ministry He would not be selling His DVD packs and books for profit. Jesus would use the Internet extensively for free download and he would have people that are sponsors that would donate $100 so that 50 DVD's could be given out to the poor who came to is conferences.

Many people ask me if I make much money for all my teachings that are on the net, and they are quite shocked to find out that not only do I not make money from it, but the company that prints the articles for me online make the money from ads.

They are further shocked that another ministry that takes up to 20 hours of my time for, I don't make money from either.

You see folks I live by the motto, "Freely you have been given, freely give."

I will always operate like that, so keep my name with you for 15 years and when I am on the world stages, come and get a DVD pack for free!

In that day the Holy Spirit would have led thousands and thousands of sponsors up for my ministry and we will be a free ministry. Free to attend conferences, free resources and a website with huge bandwidth.

If you know a major ministry, send them a copy of this teaching, maybe they will change their ways.

Be Blessed Matthew Robert Payne
