this really bothers me but i love the preachers and the word...it's just the people/leaders !!!! i just don't know....
Someone is jealous, very jealous, QUITE jealous...
And it's satan, because he has lost you to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, so what does a jealous person do?
Sabotage!
Cause confusion!
Escalate interference!
satan doesn't want you and Jesus to work out.
And he is throwing jabs at you here and there, to make you unsure of your decision to live right for God.
Sooooo, he'll use the weakness of those in the flesh in the Church and yes, leaders and such who are still growing in God and have lack of knowledge in the fullness of God's word to say and do things to make you turn back and run back to him.
But uuummmmm, you ain't going back to the devil . In Jesus' Name you won't. God's not having it, He has paid for you in full with His Blood shed upon that Cross.
God has 'marked' you as HIS child! God has engraved your name upon His hands and within His heart.
God has said to the devil... NO, you will NOT take her away from me, for those who are mine will not and cannot be plucked out of my hand, let alone my heart.
So of course satan cannot stand up to God, so he's messin' with you. Messin' with your mind to be doubtful and also distracted to hear and receive the word of the Lord where God has you planted for however long the season.
Babygirl... keep your eyes on Jesus and not man. You're gonna have to take hold of the gift that God is giving you and preparing your for and ignore man, when he farts, picks his nose, scratches his / her butt, has bad breath, no deodorant, a bad weave, twisted wig, bad nail job, and every human error that exists. Because the very same encounters and human behaviours you see in the world, you're gonna see it in Church.
Church is not Heaven; it's where folks go to clean up for the Gates that will one day open and welcome them into the arms of Jesus.
Here on earth, it is what is, no matter where you go in Church or out of Church. And babygirl, just because a person is a leader doesn't mean that he/she is not a bleeder. They share the same faults as everyone else, the difference is that as leaders, they are learning to manage and do away with things that they say and do which do not give glory to God.
Feel proud of yourself. God surely is.
Banana Bunneh!
God is calling your name. For you are His....Dear one, you are His. And a new thing He is doing for you, all brand new. God is very proud of you. He always will be, because you are His babygirl; His sweet child and even if you 'fall', make a mistake, He's never going to leave you; for in your Father's heart, you are NOT Tainted. Ever!
Sweet sleep, Darlin'
God knows who you are, He made you, perfect in His sight. And we all know, that's right!
