Satan cannot stop anything the Lord is doing. All he can do is distract God’s people. In the days of Moses, there was a work going on, the building of the tabernacle. The Lord commanded the people to bring their offerings, and their hearts were stirred to respond.
I believe there needs to be a new stirring in the hearts of the individual members of the Body of Christ in this crucial hour. Each one of us needs to become willing-hearted and wise-hearted enough to give generously and sacrificially to complete the work which has already been started.
There are millions of lives to be touched and changed. There are millions of people around the globe who still need to hear the Gospel and be saved. There are many who need to receive the healing power of God.
This work of the Lord must go on. We cannot sit back and let the devil talk us out of giving just because there have been misfortunes, problems, sins and scandals in the Christian ministry.
The people of God must have their hearts stirred so they will willingly bring their offerings to the Lord for His service.
In Moses’ day, the people brought so much they had to be told to stop, that there was already more than could be used. I wish to God every church in America had this problem! I look forward to the day this sort of thing is a weekly occurrence.
These people weren’t giving to Moses; they were giving to the work of the Lord. Your gift is not made to any certain man or woman or local church or television ministry, it is made to God Himself.
If the person or group receiving your gift turns out to be dishonest, unreliable or immoral, that is not your fault, nor should it affect your giving. Just ask the Lord what to do about your gifts and where they should continue to go for the sake of building His kingdom on earth.

Dr. Jerry Savelle was an average, blue-collar man who was struggling and needed God's help. While he considered himself a "nobody," when he became a believer God told him not to worry about it because He was a master at making champions out of nobodies. God has since taken Dr. Savelle from being a constant quitter to a man who knows how to stand on the Word of God until victory is experienced. Because of the life-changing combination of God's faithfulness and Dr. Savelle's "no quit" attitude, his life is totally different than it was thirty-eight years ago.
Since 1969, Dr. Savelle traveled the world teaching people how to win in life. Dr. Savelle ministered in more than three thousand churches and in twenty-six nations, and has overseas offices in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada.
God used Dr. Savelle to impact people who are burned out on religion and who have backslidden in their walk with God, as well as Christians who have a need to hear the Word of God presented in terms applicable to their lives, dreams, and destinies. He hosted the Jerry Savelle Ministries television broadcast which airs in two hundred countries worldwide.
Dr. Savelle authored more than forty books, including his bestsellers, If Satan Can't Steal Your Joy, He Can't Keep Your Goods and You're Somebody Special to God. He served as one of the founding Pastors of Heritage of Faith Christian Center in Crowley, Texas.
Jerry J. Savelle, 77, went home to be with the Lord on April 15, 2024. He spent his last day on earth fulfilling his purpose teaching people the Word of God
