Yes! Paul says, the Lord has commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel (1 Cor 9.14). There are several examples of this being practiced in Scripture.

Here are some examples:

Jesus’ ministry was funded by some of those who heard Him (Luke 8.1–3) and He taught the disciples to rely on others while ministering (Matthew 10.5–15).

Paul himself received support and was grateful for it (Philippians 4.10–20).

What about Paul’s tent making days?

Paul did not always support himself by making tents. That was the second‐best option for him.

• See Acts 18.1–5, where Paul began by making tents and quit as soon as he was financially able to do so.
• Again in 1 Corinthians 9.1–18, Paul’s point is that the Corinthians owed him support. He concludes the letter by telling them that he hopes to stop by and that he hopes they will provide for him to finish his journey in 1 Cor 16.5–6.
• In Romans 15.20–24, Paul asks a church he has never visited before to fund him on his journey to Spain.

Paul also teaches in Galatians 6.6 that Christians are obligated to provide for the needs of ministers.

Other Examples:

The apostle John encouraged his friend to support a crew of missionaries in 3 John 5–8.

The whole Levitical system in the Old Testament (the Levites were ministers) is predicated on the financial support of ministers by the rest of God’s people (Numbers 18.21–24 is a representative example).

See Nehemiah 13.4–11 for how outraged Nehemiah was that the Levites had to go earn wages in another fashion.
