Trump 'spiritual adviser' tells followers to skip paying electric bills so they can send her church more cash

A lengthy report on White by Mother Jones reveals that the Trump-loving preacher recently told followers at her Supernatural Ministry School in Miami that they could secure God's favor by sending her church as much money as possible -- even if that meant skipping their monthly electric bills.

In particular, White said that followers who send their money to Florida Power and Light (FPL) every month instead of giving it to her church are treating the electric company better than they treat God.

"Instead of writing [that check] to the house of God as I’m instructed to, then what I’m saying spiritually is, ‘FPL, I have now established a spiritual law that put you first,'" White explained to her flock. "So, FPL, save my family, FPL, deliver my drug addicted son. FPL, kill this cancer that doctors say is in my body."

White, who opened the National Day of Prayer Event at the White House in 2017 and who has just landed an official job at the White House, has drawn criticism from many Christians over the years, including her business in which she sells believers “resurrection seeds” that will grant them eternal life for the low price of just $1,144.

Or was it Kansas? She was speaking in tongues when she was talking about it.
