Neither Yeshua nor his disciples needed vast sums of money, resources or monuments to spread the gospel message. What they lacked in material resources they made up with passion for the gospel message and with the anointing of YHVH to proclaim that gospel with miraculous power. What the mainstream church largely lacks in passion and the anointing to spread the gospel, they now, sadly, compensate for via wealth and religious monuments.<\/p>\n<p>Given the choice, some of us have chosen the anointing and favor of Elohim over money and power and the approval of men.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2016\/02\/24\/power-or-the-anointing\/st-peters-basilica-vatican-city-indoor-interior\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8178\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8178\" src=\"http:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Dollarphotoclub_68421521.jpg\" alt=\" City.
