DONALD TRUMP'S SPIRITUAL ADVISER PAULA WHITE SUGGESTS PEOPLE SEND HER THEIR JANUARY SALARY OR FACE CONSEQUENCES FROM GODBY HARRIET SINCLAIR ON 1/9/18 AT 8:58 AM EST
Donald Trump's spiritual adviser has suggested that people send her money in order to transform their lives, or face divine consequences.
Paula White, who heads up the president's evangelical advisory committee, suggested making a donation to her ministries to honor the religious principle of "first fruit," which she said is the idea that all firsts belong to God, including the first harvest and, apparently, the first month of your salary.
"Right now I want you to click on that button, and I want you to honor God with his first fruits offering," she said in a video shared to her website, in which she encourages her followers to donate to her ministries to get blessings from God. "If God doesn't divinely step in and intervene, I don't know what you're going to facehe does," she said.
Explaining the principle of the donations, the Pentecostal televangelist, who has recently spoken out in defense of Trump's mental health following claims in a tell-all book that the president is unwell, suggested that people would reap rewards after donating to her.

"When you honor this principle, it provides the foundation and structure for God's blessings and promises in your life. It unlocks deep dimensions of spiritual truths that literally transform your life. When you apply this, everything comes in divine alignment for his plan and promises for you. When you don't honor it, whether through ignorance or direct disobedience, there are consequences."

I love how she issues that veiled, divine threat if you don't pony up. Just like a chain letter from God. I wish they'd start taxing the shit out of these vile con artists. "Prosperity Gospel preachers" are the lowest of he low. Right up that thing's alley.

Interesting part of the story is that she and him, late that night, disappeared into his hotel room, just the
two of them, for 4 hours, he explained that it was a "prayer session".
