"I feel like greed has gotten into the church I attend. The church does do a lot of good, but it bothers me. I thought of going to another church, but I am afraid I may run into other same thing or even worse. I know this is a good church and the pastor is a good man. What should I do?" - R

"Ask yourself this question - why did you go to this church. Did the Holy Spirit draw you to this church? Remember, the Church of Jesus Christ is the House of God. Ask yourself - why did God send you there? You need to stand up and be a true intercessor and come against the Spirit of Pride in the church. You must help to protect the church! Pray for the leaders and for your church. So as you start to pray for your church they will obey. The Bible says in James 5:16, The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." - Savi

"I am in financial distress. I am a single mother of two wonderful teenage children but things financially are difficult. I need a car for transportation to work and to take them to school which is 53 miles away. I live in the Mid-West and soon it will be dark at 5p.m. and the cold weather will be settling in, what do I do? I am very worried." - Thank you, G.

"That is quite a long way to take your children to school and then pick them up from school. I would suggest, if possible to move closer to the school. When you get a car it will wear very fast and you will use a lot of gas each day. If you cannot move. 1. Go to your church and ask your pastor if there is anyone that might have a car they want to donate to a single mother. 2. Look for local charities that may be able to donate a car to you. 3. Look at homeschooling your children. I am sure there are others in your situation in your area. There are many options, including using tutors, schooling online or using church and community resources. Remember God owns the world, ask him for help. The Bible says in Matthew 7:7-11, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!" - Savi

"Dear Savi, I feel as if everything is going against me. It is sometimes hard to get along with a certain person at work. I am not quite as smart as I should be. Learning anything new comes hard for me. My husband had his hours cut at work and now we owe everyone and I am being sued by credit card companies. There just never seems to be enough and I am trying to keep faith in God. I have been having lusty thoughts about another man. I don't know why because I love my husband and I love being a family. When I read the bible sinful thoughts go through my head as if the devil is trying to keep me from God.. How do I handle this? I do not want to stray from God, but these temptations are strong. I have even thought about doing things that I should not do to get money to pay bills. I need help I feel like dirty, what can I do? Thank you." - ST

"Evaluate your finances. You must manage the money that God has given to you, so He can trust you with more. If you are not tithing, make sure you do so. The tithe is 10% of your gross income that you give to the church you attend. Malachi 3:10 talks about tithing. You must also live a holy life unto the Lord. Do not allow anything in your life that God would not allow. Example: The shows you watch, the music you listen to. Those must be Godly. This could be areas where you are allowing the devil to work into your thoughts and your life. Pray that every generational curse be broken off you and your husband. Do not get caught up in materialism. God must be first in your life! The Bible says in Matthew 6:33, But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." - Savi

"Dear Savi, I want my dead marriage resurrected. I am married but was abandoned with my son (now 14 years old) 13 years ago. I am a born again Christian now, serving and working in the vine yard of the Lord, hungry for His increased Grace in my life everyday, Please I want my husband back, I love him and I want to start my ministry which he is the head. Please, I believe God is able and nothing is too hard for him. To be honest, I get doubting sometimes and unbelieve even though deep down I know the truth. What do I do? Is this The WILL of GOD? I have waited and still waiting because I love Him truly and I want him back if its God's WILL. Please tell truly, no matter how difficult or painful it maybe, Is their any hope in this marriage coming alive and together again? God bless you. I Love God and want to do HIS WILL ONLY" - N

"This is a good desire to want your husband back. There is always hope in the Lord. Nothing is impossible for the Lord. If you believe hard enough God is going to give you back your husband. As you pray for him, keep your eyes on Jesus and leave no room for the devil in your life. During this time of struggle, you will learn a lot so you can help others. When you are working in His vineyard, you will be able to encourage others how not to give up and trust in the Lord without doubt. Keep holding onto Jesus. Keep reading the Word of God daily. Fast and pray and watch the salvation of God. The book of James says to count it joy when you go through these trials. Chapter 1 verses 2-4 says, My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." - Savi

"My husband who is a Godly Christian man has hurt me so much by his harsh words that it has broken my heart and it has affected our marriage. I do not believe in divorce & I know that God hates divorce, so that is the last thing I want to happen. I try to tell him how much he hurts me, but he keeps doing it. I don't know how someone who is suppose to love you can say things that cut you so deep. And he doesn't understand why I don't want to be intimate with him because of how much he hurts me. What can I do to get him to see what he is doing is affecting our marriage deeply? C

"I commend you for not wanting a divorce. You say your husband is a Godly Christian man... You should not deny him intimacy, 1 Corinthians 7:5 clearly states you should not deprive one another so Satan does not have any room to work in your marriage. Humble yourself and whenever he says something to hurt you deeply, remember Jesus on the cross and the nails in his hands. How deep was His pain? Fast and pray for your husband and love him when he is unlovable. Call on Jesus and watch the enemy of your soul run from you marriage. The Bible says in James 4:10, Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up." - Savi

"I am a Christian and I go to church, but sometimes when I wake up at nights I see dark figures in the hallway and it is just looking at me. What should I do? - CN

"Those figures are demon spirits. You need to find out if anyone in the house is involved in the occult. Ask the Holy Spirit of God to help you and lead you to the true source of this matter. It may be demonic video games, demonic movies, etc... You must remove every connection with the demonic. Get a bottle of anointing oil and anoint every entrance of your house. Read aloud Psalm 91 and Psalm 121. God has given you power over all demons. The Bible says in Mark 16:17-18, "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”- Savi

"There is a demon of confusion that comes on me when I try to share Jesus with spiritual, Holy Ghost friends. I think satan does this because he does not like two Holy Ghost baptized people sharing because he has no power over the Holy Ghost. I have a personal relationship with the Lord and I love him with all my heart. But I feel this spirit of confusion is stopping me to go out into the world and be a witness for the Lord. Please can you help me?" Love - JH

"The devil is the author of confusion. He goes to attack your head, that is the mind. As the head goes, so will the body. You need to seek God and make sure you do not have any areas of your life where the enemy can come in and cause confusion. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 11:28 - "But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup". You do have a lot of zeal to do God's work, but with that zeal you need wisdom. Call on God daily for wisdom. Read Romans 8:5-6. Send deep roots down so you can combat the work of the enemy when you go out to preach the Gospel. You will become strong and unmovable. No demons can stand against you when you come in the name above all names, Jesus Christ. Always remember we must meet the conditions to get the blessings." - Savi

"Does god really want us to kill people for oil? Are SUV's and driving our kids to school daily protected by biblical reference? Is Jesus a republican?" - G

"Yes, God wants us to protect our children. God has given man wisdom in this modern day to do so. You certainly do not want to take your children to school and put them in a donkey cart and take them on the interstate. Also, there are just wars. God takes away from the wicked to give to those who walk righteous before Him. The wealth of the wicked is layed up for the righteous. Read the Book of Samuel. God commanded the destruction of the Amalekites. They were terrorists that attacked God's children - Israel. Just as we protect are children, God protects His children. The Bible says in 1 Samuel 15:2-3, Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt. Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”
---------------------------------------------------

Also Matthew 10:34-39 says, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it." - Savi

"Dear Savitrie, I recently broke up with my fiance of 7 months and we've been together for almost 4 years. We are from different backgrounds, countries and things just didn't work out. I am still in shock, I have good day and bad days. I know that God knows best. I trust in him and I am asking him for his help. I sometimes feel as though I do not know what to do. How do I move on, or should I move on or fight to make it work, somehow, some way?" - SS

"God works in ways we sometimes do not understand. This might be a good thing that has happened with this relationship. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you. You will know deep inside what God is saying to you. Do not rush to get back this man. Pray for your ex fiancee and ask God to heal your broken heart from any hurt so you can think clearly. Marriage is a lifetime decision. Be still still in your spirit and watch the hand of God in your life, but move forward with Jesus. He is your first love and He will show you clearly what to do. The Bible says in John 16:13, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come."- Savi

The generous soul will be made rich

"I believe in God, but not so much in church. Why should I go to church?" - EM

"To hear the word of God. How do you hear? You hear from a pastor. Church teaches you the Word of God, the Bible and the right way of living. Church gives a sense of community and fellowship. When God blesses us, He wants us to bless others. Church allows you to give your God given gifts back to the community and help others. The Bible says in Hebrews 10:24-25 says, 'And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another on'. The hope for this world is local church. Jesus our model came to serve, not to be served. The Bible says in Proverbs 11:25, 'And there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty. The generous soul will be made rich'." - Savi

"Dear Savitrie I am a Christian, and I've been born again, but sometimes I doubt my salvation because of the mistakes that I make, and I start to wonder if I'm still saved. Then I start to feel like I should be baptized again, but I've already been born again, but I'm not sure if I should be re-baptized. Do I need to be baptized again or do I still have my salvation?" - LG

"You do not have to be re-baptized. Baptism is to show that you were changed on the inside. We all have sin and fall short. You need to repent immediately when you make a mistake. Make up in your mind you will not make those mistakes again. Call on Jesus to give you strength. Man sees the outside, but God sees the heart. Do not allow the Devil to lie to you about losing your salvation. The devil can only take your salvation away if you allow him. Tell him to be silent. Say this out loud, "I have accepted Jesus as my savior and I have my salvation!" The Bible says in John 10:14, "I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own." - Savi

Listen to Savi's Response

"Dear Savi I don't know if I'm possessed or what, but I really need help. I recently got married to a good man who has very few issues. I believe that the devil wants to destroy me and I don't know what to do. Or rather, I just cant do what I ought to do. I'm in love or in lust with a respectable married man, a Pastor to be precise. Each day of my married life, I feel I made a mistake by getting married as the pastor is now separated with his wife because of long standing marital problems. At the back my head, I believe that we will marry some day and live happily ever after. As twisted as its sounds, this is a thought that is often on my mind. I would like to believe that all this is the work of the devil and I need to be delivered. Help - G

"You need deliverance. You are definitely being tormented by the evil spirits. To look at another man in such a way when you are married is adultery. Jesus said in Matthew 5:28 - "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." That also goes for women. Deal with this sin radically. Do whatever it takes to stay away from him, that pastor. If you have to attend a different church, do so as soon as possible. The devil is lying to you. The Lord blessed you with a good husband. Pray against the spirit of Harlotry. Hosea 4:12 says - "My people ask counsel from their wooden idols, And their staff informs them. For the spirit of Harlotry has caused them to stray, And they have played the harlot against their God." Lay your hands on your head and command your mind to line up with the Word of God and think the way Jesus wants you to think. Love and cherish your husband." - Savi

We do not fight flesh and blood, but wicked spirit

"Let us send love. For our enemies are not really are enemies. When we hate we are the enemy. So appreciate ying yang and send love to all. - HM

"God is love. In order to love you must know Him. If you do not know Him, you do not know love. The two greatest commandments are to love God with all you heart and soul and to love your neighbor as yourself. You need to know Jesus and then you will understand and know true love. The enemy is the devil. We do not fight flesh and blood, but wicked spirit. The Bible says in Ephesians 6:12 - For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." - Savi

"Mr prayer request is for a JOB PROMOTION. I am 28 years old , I did recently get married and have 2 kids. I live in - South Africa . We merely exist and not live with both my salary and hubby's. I too want to experience wealth and happiness. I need to also upgrade myself by studing, however that seems to be a challenge has I dont have the time to. I just want to live happy and dept free, I dont want to be financially embarrassed. Please assist me .... KD

"True happiness will only be found with a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. You need to start prophesying to every area that is trying to stop your success. Read Ezekial 37:1-14. The Lord told Ezekial to prophesy to the dead bones and the bones came alive. Prophesy to every problem and tell it to obey the word of God. Speak these words out loud. I will be financially blessed, I will upgrade my education, I will get a job promotion, I will find true happiness. Ezekial 37:4 says, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!" - Savi
