Please help. My pastor told me that God spoke to her that I should marry my elder brother’s widow with four children. I have a fiancee whom I dearly love but my pastor says she is being used by devil worshippers to capture me. My dad joined in devil worship a long time ago and for that, he was divorced from my mum. We have been living with mum. I am so depressed because of the issue, I just need help. I am born again and love the Lord.<\/p>\n\t
Since God said that prophecy would end 2,000 years ago (I Corinthians 13:8-10), the simple conclusion is that your pastor is lying when she claims that God spoke to her. Second, she is violating God’s laws by being a pastor since the Bible teaches that women are not allowed to teach men (I Timothy 2:11-12) and are not allowed to address the assembly of Christians during worship (I Corinthians 14:34-37).<\/p>\n
Leaders in the church don’t dictate people’s lives. They serve people to help them reach heaven. “But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave — just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” <\/em>” (Matthew 20:25-28).<\/p>\n Leave this false religion and find a true group of Christians in your area.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: Please help.
