Dear Minister of the Gospel,
In accordance with the Word of God, I urge you to reconsider the current emphasis on mimics and prioritize the teaching of the Word to our flock. The Bible emphasizes the importance of God's Word in guiding our lives. Psalm 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
Spending extensive hours chasing demons while allocating only a brief time to imparting the Word contradicts the teachings of Jesus. In Matthew 4:4, He declares, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." This underscores the vital role of God's Word in sustaining and nourishing our spiritual lives.
The notion of chasing demons as commendable is challenged by the biblical call to focus on teaching and discipleship. In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus instructs his disciples, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."
While deliverance has its place, the Bible encourages a balanced approach. Colossians 3:16 advises, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom." Prioritizing deliverance over the Word risks distorting the true purpose of ministry and exploiting believers.
The potential exploitation of individuals for financial gain contradicts the biblical principle of freely receiving and freely giving. Matthew 10:8 states, "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay."
Inquiring information from demons during casting them out and using their information for guidance opposes the biblical command to avoid any form of association with darkness. Ephesians 5:11 instructs believers to "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them."
Let us return to the foundational teachings of the Word, ensuring our ministry aligns with the principles laid out in Scripture for the spiritual well-being of our flock.
