Church Hurt, You Don't Know The Half! - Chapter 44

Well, first of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR (even though we're in February!) Oh well, better late than never!

With that said, 2012 is going to be one of the best years of my life! Why? Because, when trouble arises, blessings ALWAYS comes right behind it! Especially when it comes to ministry.

I wish people will realize that when you INTENTIONALLY isolate an individual from a church, especially when that person represents change for the ministry, all you're doing is catapulting them to their DESTINY! Especially when that person is anointed! It amazes me that the same folks who cries for "change" in the ministry are the same folks who stagnates it! The same folks who cries out "we need more love in the church" are the same folks who carries hate in their hearts! The same folks who cries "let's come together as one body" are the same folks who causes separation and strife!

I've been in ministry long enough to know what church hurt feels like! But it is because of my past experiences is the reason why I WILL NOT BE MOVED! Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, sold it on eBay! I know that church game of playing psychological CHESS to see if I will leave the church by playing certain moves! Ummm....NO! I'm not going anywhere until GOD says it's time!

Recognize!

Until next time...

Patience...Oy Vey! - Chapter 35

"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfectwork, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." James 1:3-4

I see that God is working on my patience! I'm just sayin'!

Without going into too much detail, I am the type of person that observes people's actions and not just their words. I believe that God has given me that gift of discerment when it comes to my interaction with people. Though there are times when I do miss the mark, there are also times when I'm right on the money! I can tell when something's going right and I can also tell when something's going wrong.

Bottom line is I'm asking God to grant me patience when it comes to dealing with His people. I don't like to assume anything! I always want to know where I stand with people, so I know how to deal with them accordingly. I've been screwed over by way too many people in the past. I will not let history repeat itself!

Lord help me! Oy vey!

Until next time....
