MY PEARL OF WISDOM FOR TODAY!

YOU ARE A  RARE PEARL!!
THERE IS NO OTHER LIKE YOU!!

Ladies, who you are is a Precious Pearl: If you give yourself to one man you will end up giving yourself to many because, a man will not value you until you put the Brakes on!
Make him see who you are; Make him get to know YOU; Make him understand there is a standard that comes with you the nature of a man is to seek you out. The pattern of a man is to Hunt the bible tells you that:

Proverbs 18:22 Whosoever findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth the favor of the Lord.
When a Hunter, goes out and hunts the deer, rabbit, etc., they do not stand there and be captured NO if they want it they must work for it! STOP making yourself easy for these men; some of you not leaving them anything to respect and they will trample over you when  they are done only to move to the next one. 
YOU want a Good Man? 
Show him your Worth, not your Business!!

IF and When you come across that one that will not pursue you guess what, HE AIN'T THE ONE!! but, that means there is still someone out there that is. There is a lot of benefit to lifting up a standard. IT Allows you to see who they are as well( Their true colors). If You have ever met someone and said, if I had it to do over again, I would not. Guess who's fault that was? So, now that you have it to do over again do it the right way this time. Isn't is something, that the Bible says, do not give what is Holy to dogs. (What do we call them when they break our little hearts, (Dogs) Ding, Ding, Ding 
All men are Not dogs, a person is only going to do what you allow.

Know your Worth, it will save you A lot of Drama!

FAITH IS A PROCESS

Changing one's Mindset is a Process. 
Faith is also a Process,
One that should be put into practice Daily.
The more we Trust the more Confidence we have in God; that Confidence allows us to start using the Keys of Faith More and More each time. 
Putting into Practice Grows our Faith! (We can move a Mountain with Mustard Seed Faith can you Imagine the Possibilities after it Grows?!) 
Putting Into Practice helps us to Perfect our Faith (The more you Practice the better you get.); 
Which opens the door to the Faith Realm where we can then enter into that Rest.

FAITH Pleases, GOD! The Absence of Faith Displeases GOD! FAITH is What Moves GOD. 

Let's say, You go to God you are in tears and emotional. Right. Well...

Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.


God has empathy towards us he is our Father in Heaven. YOU DECIDE!!

 Do you need Empathy or Action?? Because, FAITH Moves GOD to Action!!

Those tears are not going to move God but, if you need him to help change the outcome the circumstance then, you need to dry those tears and say, 

Lord, I believe your Word, I put Trust in you, not my Situation.

WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!

I MUST SHARE WITH YOU SOMETHING, MANY OF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR.

BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING! WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!!

The enemy can use those whom you may think are for you to lay trap for you. Even more through those who are not saved. Everyone who say, they are saved ain't saved!  There are those who serve God only through Lip Service! The Life they live does not line up with the Standard of God and you know this!

Sometimes, we make excuses for it being okay because, of who they are:
An Ex you're still in love with, An old Friend, Family, co- church member...
Sometimes, God has already removed them and we go back and get them!

WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!!
When are changed the things we used to do we no longer do; the Way we use to behave we no longer act that way in open nor in secret; We distance and separate from the company we use to keep to shield ourselves from being tempted and corrupted in anyway.

To Feel like you cannot enjoy yourself without sin is a Trick and a Trap from the enemy. ARE YOU WILLING TO GO TO HELL FOR 5 MIN TO A FEW HOURS OF WHAT You DEEM to be PLEASURE (FUN)??? What's fun about getting drunk to the point of sick? What's fun about doing drugs that destroy your brain cells? What is fun about subjecting yourself to disease: sleeping around with randoms without condoms? Club hopping? (Doing things in excess) The long-term affects of any of these things can cause death Physical AND Spiritual.

YOU CAN'T BE SOBER MINDED IF YOU ARE NOT SOBER. 
9 out of 10 do drugs, alcohol, sexual addiction for an escape!

THE ENEMY LOVES TO TWIST THIS!!!
He WANTS you to Think there is no Life outside of sin;  He WANTS you to think there is something to be Missed outside of sin. That's the devil (He a Liar) he comes to Kill, Steal and Destroy (Jn 10:10) you and any desire or thought you have about living the life you were purposed to live in Christ. He knows exactly, who to use to get you tripped up in your walk and perhaps pull you out of the Will of GOD.

EITHER YOU WALK WITH GOD OR WALK WITH THE FLESH?

I have stated in many topics before you must change your Mindset.
You can have good clean fun.
MAKE THEM THINK, RATHER SHOW THEM THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR LIFESTYLE For a Change; and you would be Absolutely, RIGHT.
WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!!

Thank You, Holy Spirit

Do You Show CHARITY For your Fellow-man

CHARITY

DO YOU HAVE ANY FOR YOUR FELLOW MAN


We ought to live by the Example set by CHRIST in EVERYTHING! Especially, in how we treat those who are Less Fortunate than ourselves.
Heb 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Some have mistreated those who are unfortunate, children mock and do not show Honor to the unfortunate nor to Elders, some shirk at the thought of them, turn up your nose as you pass them.
This is a very sad day we live in! 

 But, What If... the very one - You would Not Help, was sent by HIM?????
We ought to show Compassion, Offer a Helping Hand God forbid if any of us may one day have to walk in their shoes or barefoot.

1 Corinthians 13:1-5
1 Though, I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own,....

Don't Touch if you haven't Prayed: Revelation of Prayer

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (AMP)

Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day. 17 For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! 18 So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.

Trouble - Trouble - Trouble
I can't say, I've ever met anyone who hasn't had it. 
Lord, knows, I have had my share of Troubles, Whew!
Nothing, will put you on your knees like, Trouble. I have learned and witnessed that even people who do not know God, will pray when trouble comes.
If they say, nothing but, "God help me!"

This passage of scripture, tells me:

  •  Don't lose heart ( Be anxious for nothing Phil 4:6-9) the pain of it is temporary and, it is moving over for much better and and much more.
  • Our natural circumstances are no match for nor bigger than my God Hebrews 13:5,6; Isaiah 40:29
  • Regardless, of what it looks like on the outside, our strength is being renewed by God; These things we actually, face are not as big as they appear, do not  focus so much on what is                                                          going on in the natural.
What makes you go into a car dealership, store, to your mechanic or to anyone to whom you need to make a major purchase and, believe you can get it for less than their asking price? 
Reason #1...Because of Faith, you believe at that very moment that you can and, they will. You have no evidence of this. All feelings aside, you step out into that which you cannot see. 
This is the same determination needed to believe God:
  • Through your Storm;
  • For your Healing;
  • Out of your Lack;
  • And, for you Miracle
Reason #2...Because, we have God's DNA in us (having been created in his image) We can believe and, it come to fruition.  Right about now, the enemy is probably whispering "That is different."
NO! It is not! Remember, The devil is a Liar! 
All you need is a Mustard seed of Faith, You used more than believing, that you could get them to drop the asking, price.

I'm asking you to Drop your Doubt.
Don't Touch your Troubles if you haven't Prayed, 

We learn a great deal in this life...
We learn how to survive; 
We learn who we can trust and who we can't;
We learn from Trouble...
How Strong & Resilient we really are;
We learn to put out Trust in God;
We learn to go to Him in Prayer

I Thank, the Holy Spirit for being a Teacher and for this topic because, it exposes the enemy, 
You learn... You can't Trust the devil.
What you shouldn't Touch, is your Trouble yourself. Let God, Do what you, Can't. You do not have to Negotiate with the devil, When GOD will Fix It, for a Mustard seed of Faith. 
The devil brought the Trouble to begin with (YOU resist him!) 

God is that Greater Figure of Hope.
Read Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 4:17-24; Hebrews 4:15

STOP, PLAYING CHURCH!! The Other Church Hopper!!

Earlier, this week I shared "CHURCH HOPPING"

This is Part 2
STOP, Playing Church!!
THE OTHER CHURCH HOPPER!!

When you are Playing Church:
You not consistent in the things of God;
You are not Faithful;
You have no Loyalty to the Leadership;
You are not Productive;
You do not support the vision of the Church;
You seek after the things of the World;
You are not invested;
You have your own agenda, YOU

These are those who share the excuses in Church Hopping #1 (See Above) but, use these excuses to  Hop right back into the world but, when you find that you have tasted of the Goodness of Jesus. You soon find that you are no good in the world and no good in church.

Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

Galatians 5:17
For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.They are opposed to one another, so that you do not do what you want.

You are now trying to find you your happy medium of which there is none.
You cannot serve God and Mammon
Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

You have a desire to be saved on one hand but, get mad at the Preacher when you are told the truth;
You want to Benefit from the Blessing on this hand but, on the other hand you do not want to put in  the work; You are trying to live right  at church on one hand but, nothing to show for it when you go home on the other; You will hear the word and want to be elevated on the right hand
but on the left you can't stand to be corrected (You got too many hands!)

2 Timothy 3:5-7 (KJV)
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

I can't be perfect and imperfect at the same time. I am going to be one or the other. I am going to be righteous or unrighteous. I am going to be a child of God or a child of the devil. You are either Hot or Cold, pick one?

If you do not have the Holy Spirit, you are in-complete. Without the Holy Spirit you have nothing to keep you
 John 14:16,26

You cannot Trust your Flesh!!! (sounds like another Topic)
The bible says, Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV)
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Who can know it? That tells me I cannot depend on my own flesh. We must die daily as not to entertain the flesh. The word of God is un-compromising, it will not compromise with the Flesh!!

WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER YOU SHOULD DO BETTER!!
STOP, PLAYING CHURCH!!

Help others with your Wisdom Intact

Why should I be discouraged?  When I put my Hope in God.

 When we take on a responsibility God never gave us, it can become too heavy a burden to bear. 
If you’re in the habit of Helping People, you soon realize they don’t always respond 
or behave in the way  with which you’d like. We end up pulling out of ourselves more than we would like to for longer than we like.

And, we get Burned out. When God wants you to do something, 
he supplies the Energy, Endurance, Patience and Perseverance to do it...
There is No Burn Out!! He will also, Release you in his timing.

And that’s the case whether it’s your children, your friends, your family, 
church members, neighbors or the people you work with.  

When we know we have done what God told us to do, We need to trust him to do what we can't do. 
We can help people out of the Goodness of our hearts But, we need to Seek  God direction 
as to How much, How long and in What ways to help others. 
When we take on responsibilities God didn't give us we cannot get upset over not being 
able to control the outcome. 
When we have done our part, Let go and let God do his. 

Phil 2:13
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Know God for Yourself and Trust in Him!

Brothers & Sisters in Christ:

TRUST IN GOD!
Trust your heart in Christ. 

Know the Word for yourself and be aware.
When people do wrong of which they can't recover. 
Lying, Accusations, Stealing, Misuse of Gods word.
Instead of them getting it right; You must Know, 
that the first thing the devil will do is take them out of church 
because they will not take responsibility for their wrong-doing:

"Misery Loves Company" 

you can best believe that before they leave they will try to take someone with them. 
They will try to Sow discord among believers. They will tell you lies, lies, lies about others.
Go to the source for yourself, for the Truth Ask questions. Follow Christ not man.
People, who do not believe "Hell is Hot" believe it just enough... 
that if they must go to hell.. they are not trying to go alone.

Do not let people Dictate your Salvation!!
When people are not where they need to be in the Lord they are not going to tell you that...
People have secret sins and try their best to keep it on the low, low 

BUT THESE SINS ARE NOT HIDDEN FROM GODS EYE 

and if, you aren't strong and do let the Spirit guide you in All Truth,
 they could very well drag you out the door with them or worse Hell. 
Lean not unto your own understanding and definitely not the understanding of someone else.
 (Read: Prov. 3:5-6; Jer 17:5-7; Ps 37:3-5; Is 26:3; )

Be not wise in thine own eyes... Prov 3:7

GIVERS AND TAKERS (Wisdom Minute)

There are Givers and There are Takers:


There are People who will drain the Life out of you if you let them.
These people can very well be Family: 
They may very well be people in the church:
They will drain you financially, spiritually, physically and drain you mentally
Because of your heart you will see how much you give but may not be aware of 
Just how much they take. These people at some point will learn the art of manipulation
as whispered by satan and take advantage of your kindness.
This is NOT to say we are not to help anyone but, seek Gods Wisdom to help you
discern the difference.

Just because, you are Saved: Doesn't mean you have to be a Doormat.

If you really have a Heart for Gods people keep in mind that helping them is 
not Handicapping them it is teaching them to march to the beat of their own drum
and not wail on yours.
Sistah Sarah's Wisdom Minute

2 Timothy 3:1-4  (KJV)
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

CONSIDER Yourself like the Ant!!

EVEN AN ANT CAN TEACH YOU A THING OR TWO:
CONSIDER YOURSELF AN ANT

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! (Proverbs 6:6)

I read this verse, a few times in my walk and I have heard people use it in their teaching and it is usually, on laziness which is true and an exceptional point to make yet, when I read the verse "Consider stood out" I ask the Holy spirit in the morning before I write what do you want your people to know?
I looked at the verse again and I wanted to be obedient so I considered the ant. 

Consider means to: look attentively at: think about and be drawn toward (a course of action): regard (someone or something) as having a specified quality: take (something) into account when making an assessment or judgment:


I watched a video about ants and as I watched it I was so drawn by their tenacity, their motivation, their strength they keep moving, with one goal in mind as they prepare. They are preparing, They honor the head the Queen (in our case GOD first) and They are on one Accord as they work towards the same purpose. I tell you I got so much out of that short video. Ants are self- Motivated no one instructs them or has to tell them what to do they make use of every moment; Ants have the ability to bear more than 3 times their weight; Ants have initiative which some of us do not: people who must be told what to do; people who need to be directed do not posses wisdom


So why does God want us to "consider" the ant? I asked, the Holy Spirit this and the Spirit said, "God wants us to consider our Soul." 
See ants are committed to what is going to come.

We prepare when the weather man tells us a major storm, hurricane, flood or tornado is coming: Even when we don't see it, hmm. We rush out for food and supplies, board up our windows, put sand bags out (Seem familiar? Kind of like Ants, huh?) but when the people of God tell us Jesus is coming back we get slothful, we remain stagnated, wishy-washy, we sit back without making any preparation at all and "What happens to people who do not prepare? they take a direct hit and let tell you there will be no state of emergency, no Red Cross and no Fema when Jesus comes back it will be too late to try to work. Joh 9:4  I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 

Every ant has a job. Worker ants may have one job or several jobs.
Consider your gifts right here the bible says, we serve a different purpose under the same spirit that worketh in us. 1 cor 12:4,12,27 There are diversities of gifts but the same Spirit works in all, We are on the same team! Rom 12:4; Eph 4:16. 

Joh 9:4  I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. Joh 9:5  As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 

Some workers gather food for the colony. When an ant finds food, it lays down a scent trail for others to follow to the food. Consider the Shepherd right here the Men/Women of God who gather they receive the word of God from Heaven and Feed your soul they sow life into you

Some ants store the food they harvest in special chambers in the nest. Consider right here the Ministers in the church they should be able to train those special chambers (a chamber is also defined as a small group of instruments) See everybody wants to preach but a ministers job is also to  train other leaders so that you can flourish and grow and share with others read Titus

Other workers feed and care for the queen and her developing young. Consider right here the Armour Bearers those who serve under the man/woman of God giving assistance to them in the the development of the vision of there ministry and the vision of the church. Glory to God these workers are slaves to righteousness.


Still others build the chambers and tunnels. They use their saliva to make the dirt walls hard. Consider the choir/the praise team right here because it is through praise and worship that a wall is build up that the enemy cannot penetrate and if the enemy can't get it in yoke can be broken, burdens can be lifted and people can be set free.

Some worker ants are soldiers. They defend the colony and fight off their enemies (other ants or other kinds of insects). Hallelujah, as we consider the Prayer Warriors and the Watchmen right here see Prayer Warriors show up dressed up bearing the whole Armour of God and ready. their job is to cover the church (Pastors, Leaders, Members, communities, etc.; they are posted and pray without ceasing) They fight on their knees praying constantly and consistently. 
Thank You, Holy Spirit!!


Someone, mentioned this to me as a Topic and before I write anything, I empty myself of me and seek the Holy Spirit, I am but a vessel. I can do nothing without God. I am so Blessed and so amazed as the Holy Spirit ministers to me there are 2 places I sit in - in my apartment and I listen and type and my God I have found that when I am released it is hours later, even dark outside and have not had food or water but, sustained Hallelujah! God is so good Y'all when you develop a personal relationship with him and submit your will to his you will see just how awesome, sweet loving, caring, big and real God is my everything and I Love God more than anything, I do not care who knows it.

SHARPER than a Two-Edged Sword!!!

The Word of God is Sharper than any Two-Edged Sword!!!
Hebrews 4:12-13

The Word of GOD speaks to our  Hearts. Yes.
But,...
The Word of GOD also, Speaks to your Sin;

If you are going to Live this thing: YOU need to live it in Spirit and Truth~  Remember, the Flesh is Contrary to the Spirit there is no Compromise there - EVER!

The Word of God is Powerful to Convict, Powerful to Convert, Powerful to Transform, Powerful to Deliver, Powerful to Heal, Powerful to Cut you like a Knife.

I Doesn't Matter who likes it and who Does not, the Word of God will Surely, STAND.
The business of the Sword is to Pierce/Penetrate Separate the Flesh and the Spirit can Thrive. 
When you are in the House of God all things are Naked and Opened to the Man or Woman of God: People leave mad because, they are not ready to receive and rejected the word they feel violated.
 The Word of GOD is Powerful to be a Light...Don't Blame the Messenger! 

Gods Word will not return unto him Void Isaiah 55:11



YOU GO TO A BAKERY IF YOU WANT SUGAR BUT IF YOU WANT THE TRUTH YOU GO TO CHURCH!!
Thank You, Holy Spirit!!

" READY OR NOT "



Let’s Just say..., Hypothetically

You were watching television and your show was suddenly interrupted by Breaking News!
The news reporter states there is evidence that Jesus Christ will be entering our atmosphere on this coming Tuesday. Matt 24:36,37


Are you ready?

“What would you do?”

  • Would you go to church on Sunday? 
  • Would you get saved? 
  • If you were cheating on your spouse would you Stop? 
  • Would you apologize to someone you wronged? 
  • Would you return something you’ve stolen? 
  • Would you Forgive "now"?


“What would you do?”
For those of us already saved… “Are you ready?”

  • What would you do that you are not doing now?
  • Would you pray more? Would you study the word more?
  • Would you start fasting? Would you release that ought against your brother or sister?
  • “Would anything you do be enough?” 

Can you get your house in order before Tuesday?




“Some” reading this may be reading with a raised eyebrow or rolling your eyes in disbelief saying, “They’ve been saying that for years…. Longer than I can remember!”


Yes-Yes they have. Do you not think... he’s a lot closer NOW, than when they said it years ago?? What would you tell him? You can’t say you didn’t know? God's word is written on the fleshly tablets of every mans heart.





I'm just saying, Will "we" be ready??

Do Not let your Ego, Interfere with your Humility!


Remember, God's word does not return void.
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

Do not let your Ego interfere with your Humility                                                                        Ministers, Missionaries, Deacons , Prayer Warriors, Lay members etc.,                                                         As to think; that whenever God gives you a word- it is for someone else. Allow the word to stop at Home, to Speak to you before it goes out, it may very well be for you. You may need it as well as the individual or people you are ministering to. You shouldn't Speak something into someone's life you are not Living or Willing to apply it to yourself. No one is void of God's correction.
                               

My God is so Awesome, that he will Speak THROUGH You, to Speak TO "You."

Don't be a STUMBLING BLOCK!!

Don’t be a Stumbling block
in the path of your brothers and sisters in Christ
This is one of a few topics, I am passionate about not only because, of my own experiences in churches but, I remember being able to recognize at a young age people whose lives did not match their walk not in the sense of passing judgement but from the things I saw them do outside of church.


 Mark 9:38-50; Deut 6:1-9; Mark 9:38-50
A stumbling block is anything that causes a person to fall away from the truth.
 A stumbling block is a trap that catches an unsuspecting person.  A stumbling block is anything that contributes to a brother or a sister going astray, falling into sin, and/or losing sight of their eternal hope in Christ. Now that we know what a Stumbling Block is let me identify a few things that can cause brothers and sister to stumble and/ or fall. There are quite a few other things. started.
  • Scandal within the church!
  • A church that is not on one accord!
  • A believer who is lukewarm not living the life!
  • You are over -heard Passing judgement on another!  (Warping someone’s perception of another member by gossiping or backbiting.)
  • No follow-up! (Churches that do not have a system-set up to follow-up with visitors and new members after they have joined, this is actually, the responsibility of all) Why should they come back or stay with a church that doesn’t even acknowledge that they are there.
  • The old cold shoulder! (They spoke or reached out to hug you, shake your hand and you did not acknowledge them)
Gal 5:7-8,10; Is 50:4; 1 Pe 4:11; Prov 18:21; James 3:6
As leaders, as well as members within the body; we need to be sensitive to our how own choices, conduct and behaviors affect those around us. Someone is always watching whether you know it or not. A Misrepresentation of your belief, of God’s word can alter or tear down; God’s work in a fellow believer (New or Old). The bible tells us be careful for nothing (Phil 4:6-8); Be wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove (Matt 10:16)
If a brother or sister is drawn to you…They were likely drawn to the words of your testimony or something they admired or something about you they identified with. Especially, new babes or new members. The way you behave after church, outside of church can greatly affect someone who is new. Specifically, newborn babes. If they see Nothing different in you from what they see in the world.

  • It can cause them to question their decision to be saved
  • It can cause them to leave the Church! (Woe unto you!)
Be careful how you flaunt your freedom outside of the church. I mentioned, in my previous topic (Thank you, Jesus) If you are saved at home, be saved at work, at school, at the restaurant and in other people’s homes. (Deut 6:1-9)
Yes, indeed you may be grown but, why go to Hell in a Volkswagen when you can go in a Cadillac? (Secret sins)
Someone see’s you gyrating or, see you in public hugged up with someone and they know you are single…What are you telling them? That it is okay…to fornicate? (That may be how it is perceived), Is your salvation limited to the church?
The brother or sister you do not see anymore. The new member who came a few Sunday and hasn’t been seen since. “How do you know it wasn’t because of you??”
Men and Women of God, I exhort you to take this very seriously, “Souls at stake” Do not allow the enemy to you as a puppet to interfere with the building of God’s Kingdom. There are consequences to our actions remember, that. Whether received or nay, the Word of God does not return void! He who hath an ear let him Hear!!!
When you know Better, you what…You should Do Better!
