I would say that you're either an extremely immature Christian or its not God talking to you. Remember that the devil appears as an angel of light, so we must learn how to discern spirits. Part of that process is knowing the scripture, as you did well in your presentation, Eric. "God so loved the world that He GAVE ..." We are most like God when we give, not when we seek to please ourself. Why would the Holy Spirit, God's very nature, go against that very nature? Now, God might not be leading you to give to a specific ministry. But if you are truly seeking after Him, you will want to give somewhere to someone. Good thoughts ... thanks for sharing. Peace.
