About Contributions

​

We believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit, salvation, and grace are freely given by God. No person can sell, buy, or bargain for these spiritual realities. 

 

Our services are offered as a response to that grace, and any support you choose to give helps sustain this ministry without turning spiritual things into merchandise.

These services cover time, travel, preparation, and materials, and are not required to receive spiritual care or sacramental ministry.

Spiritual Care & Discernment  

 

The Temple of Light & Life offers pastoral support for those experiencing spiritual distress, anxiety, or confusion about demonic or occult influences. 

 

This includes prayer, counseling, and discernment, not a commercial “demon‑removal” service.  

 

Services are offered as prayer‑based ministry and may be supported by voluntary donations. 

 

No person is turned away due to inability to pay, and spiritual outcomes are entrusted to God and cannot be guaranteed by any financial arrangement.  

 

Based on pastoral discernment, the ministry may offer:  

 

- Property or land prayer‑blessing and consecration  

- Home or workplace spiritual assessment and prayer  

- Occult‑object removal and disposal (assisted, with prayer and guidance)  

- Guidance on dreams, spiritual experiences, or perceived spiritual attacks  

 

These services are offered as prayer‑based ministry, not as magical rituals or guaranteed outcomes. Any support offered is voluntary and not required to receive spiritual care.  

 

Physical Security Note  

 

In rare situations where physical safety is a concern, the Temple may coordinate with licensed security professionals. 

 

Any security services are paid directly to the security provider and are not part of the spiritual ministry fees. Legal and licensing requirements vary by state.  

 

About Financial Arrangements  

 

- Sacramental and core pastoral services (baptism, marriage preparation, visitation, funeral ministry, etc.) are offered freely to all. 

 

- Certain ceremonial, teaching, or consulting services are offered on a fee‑for‑time basis to cover time, travel, and preparation.  

 

- No spiritual blessing, grace, or sacramental status is withheld from anyone who cannot pay.  

 

- Donations are voluntary and may be offered to support the ongoing work of the Temple of Light & Life.  

 

 

This services model preserves our wedding, funeral, teaching, and consulting fees while keeping sacramental and spiritual‑warfare‑related work framed as free or donation‑based pastoral ministry, not as a sale of spiritual goods.

​

Simony (/ˈsɪməni/) is the act of selling church offices and roles or sacred things. It is named after Simon Magus,[1] who is described in the Acts of the Apostles as having offered two disciples of Jesus payment in exchange for their empowering him to impart the power of the Holy Spirit to anyone on whom he would place his hands.[2] The term extends to other forms of trafficking for money in "spiritual things".

​

The purchase or sale of ecclesiastical office was associated with the figure of Simon Magus in the Acts of the Apostles and his name came into use as a term. 

​

The earliest church legislation against simony may be that of the forty-eighth canon of the Synod of Elvira (c. 305), against the practice of making a donation following a baptism.
