I recently had the privilege to read a letter that was sent to some-one close to me. I was asked to read the letter because it appeared to be a little confusing. After reading it, I had the challenge of explaining it, and its real intentions. I felt compelled to speak about this, because I could just imagine how many people through out the world could be receiving such letters. Similar to the way pop-ups appear on our computer screens, advertisements of different sorts etc. Well this is just as factual. Names are pulled, and letters are sent. These letters appear to come from some one who has your best interest at heart. Even more so, that the letter goes on to speak about how this person, who never gives you their name, yet tries to convince you that they had a prophetic word from God. How they were instructed to speak to you. In the letter, they use "KEY" words, such as Holy, Fervent, or Sowing of Seed". They speak to you using your first name as to personalize their message. They hit you with several true life events that very well could be common to most anyone. As the letter comes to conclusion it pretty much lets you know all that they promise, that "THEY" will do for you. Will only happen if you send them a "GIFT", or " Sow a Seed", of ($ 20.00) twenty dollars. I must admit. I consider my self to be a Man of God. I found it so offensive to read the letter. It pains me to find that the letter scares the intended reader to not show, or share the letter with any one...." because they will loose out on their blessing, or miracle being preformed in their life". THE FACTS ARE CLEAR AND SIMPLE! Christ died for ALL of us, so that we may live. When they try to speak in the letter about a Holy word, they never mention the Holy Spirit. The letter speaks a little of what moses felt, with out really quoting the Bible. The Bible, teaches us about the love of Jesus Christ. It teaches us about the Holy spirit, and the power of God. It teaches us about Faith, and how to live a Christian life. I am aware of many about Faith, and how to live a Christian life. I am aware of many Pastors, and Evangelist that dedicate their time for Gods ministry. I thank God for them, and I pray for them daily, but We all must be aware that their are people out their that use Gods word, to infiltrate into the lives of many. Not for the purpose of leading them to Salvation, through Jesus Christ. but rather to fill their pockets with your money. A donation, or a gift of love to a charitable organization is always well received, and needed. If you belong to a church, tithes and offerings is the only thing sanctioned in the Bible. If you need a miracle in your life? Take it to the Lord in prayer. If you are in distress economically, or emotionally. Stop! And speak to God. Christ paid the price for you. He made it possible so that you have the right, the power and the authority to speak, and He will listen. Ask Him your self, and He will deliver. Don`t allow anyone to send you a mirror to look into, as you ask for what you need. Expecting the person in the letter calling themselves a prophet, will look into the mirror you send them back. They say when they receive the mirror, and the "Seed or Gift" will be able to see you asking.........and THEY will ask God, to grant it for you. PLEASE UNDERSTAND, the Bible has never spoken of such ridiculousness! Do you want to hear preaching? Go to Church. Do you want to have a closer relation with God. Read your Bible, and pray. Ask God to let His Holy Spirit in your Life. God will give you perfect and clear understanding of His Holy Scripture. Do not fall for the tricks of the enemy. You should never feel compelled to feel you must pay for some one to pray for you. No one intercedes to God for you except Jesus Christ. Remember "The fervent prayer of a righteous man, avails much. May God bless you.
Love always, Irving Serrano Sr.
