God is all-powerful, why does he need money to do anything? Answer, he doesn't. Consider this a sign as God spoke to me and told me that all the money takers are charlatans. Stop giving money to anyone. God is all-powerful, why does he need money to do anything?

Answer, he doesn’t.

Consider this a sign as God spoke to me and told me that all the money takers are charlatans.

Still, she now knows the truth, and the truth, in this case, can set her free. I say run fast away from this fellow.

Too bad that the concept of “covenant” has been twisted in this and other cases to be a negative, as in, “everything wise and good points the other way, but, woe is me, I've made this covenant…”. That's not how it should ever be.

It seems there is a more important element missing here. The lady who wrote the letter should be part of a local church and have a pastor(s) to help her in a situation like this. If she has limited funds it seems that those should go to her local church first, etc. I agree that she is not under obligation. It seems there is a more important element missing here.

If you view this type of covenant in metaphorical terms of marriage, we understand that Jesus granted divorce only in extenuating circumstances of unfaithfulness. This is a matter only reconcilable within her own conscience. However, my conscience would be clear to break something such as this, because I can't help but be suspicious that these types of teleministries purposefully call people "covenant" partners to shame and/or guilt them into staying on board the giving train.

He broke the "covenant" when he spent that money on himself and his luxury lifestyle - so if she feels that she can no longer do so, she is free.
