"𝒯ℴ𝓊𝒸𝒽 𝒩ℴ𝓉 ℳ𝒾𝓃ℯ 𝒜𝓃ℴ𝒾𝓃𝓉ℯ𝒹" (𝒫𝓈𝒶𝓁𝓂 105:15)

---

Lately I’ve seen people putting down TV evangelists, and I want to speak carefully about that. I know the Lord, and I understand much of what they’re saying. Many of these ministers are anointed, and they carry the Holy Spirit. I say this because a lot of the people criticizing them sound like the false prophets.

Yes, some of the TV evangelists ask for money. I don’t do that personally, but Scripture does say ministers have a right to be supported: “You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain” (1 Corinthians 9:9), and “the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel” (1 Corinthians 9:14). Large ministries come with large expenses, and most people don’t know what it’s like to carry huge ministry bills. I have big bills too, so I understand how financial shortage can threaten the work. If a ministry crashes because of lack, that’s a defeat—so that may be one reason some of them make financial appeals.

When I witness, I don’t ask people for money. God supplies what I need to do what He’s called me to do—because “my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). Still, we should be very careful about calling these ministers “evil,” because Jesus warned about attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to an evil spirit: “whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation” (Mark 3:29). That has eternal consequences.

What I see happening to some of these anointed evangelists is similar to what people did to Jesus—saying He was crazy or demon-possessed because of what He said and did. Scripture records it plainly: “He has Beelzebub” and “By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons” (Mark 3:22). There may be hurt, history, or bad blood in church circles, but Scripture shows us a better posture—like David with Saul. Even when Saul sinned against him, David refused to touch the Lord’s anointed: “The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD’s anointed” (1 Samuel 24:6).

So, the conclusion is simple: be cautious. Yes, there are false prophets in the world—“Beware of false prophets” (Matthew 7:15)—but don’t rush to condemn people who may truly be anointed by the Holy Spirit. And remember, discernment is spiritual: “the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God… because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14).
