We live in a time when trust is one of the most treasured of emotional and financial supports. Trust, which is an asset, valuable, and moral correctness which accents the person's personality and attitude is sought by so many. However, what we see today is just the opposite! who can be trusted? Temptation is running rampant upon the earth, however, how do we look to invest in the church when temptation from within the church is based today on business models which dictate many of the churches and greed is running rampant within people who work within the church? God is Faithful? Who do we trust in the world??? That is my Question Please comment!
Ask The Holy Spirit To Take You to Your Shepherd - In Reply - 2 years ago
I lived in one of the most religious city's in the US. Tulsa, for 3 years. Went to church twice on Sundays and Wednesday (intercessory prayer group).
First church I tried, believed they should pair up all the single people do they could get married. I guess they didn't even have to be attracted to each other? I fled.
I was driving around on Sunday looking for a Baptist Church. When the Holy Spirit says: go up 3 Streets and make a left turn. I drive a couple of miles, when he says " turn in there". It was huge. I get joyfully greeted as the usher opens the door. I see a sea of black, brown, white, Asian, elderly church moms, deacons everywhere. They were all clapping to a song, bobbing or dancing, singing loudly. Heaven could hear that!!! The Holy Spirit said, " that is your shepherd." I sat down, but pretty soon I was clapping too. Joy was dripping off the rafters. I have cassettes of sermons I still listen to and cry.
My Pastor married a closet witch and years later Pastor became Apostate. Left the Church. Some people followed him__not JESUS. Pastor is on YouTube now preaching heresy and pro gay, transgender, if it feels good, do it. The Holy Spirit told me why he really left God.
It's a warning to all of us. If you let people lift you up, INSTEAD OF JESUS, you are in the wrong church.**Ask the Holy Spirit to take you to your Shepherd. One who will carry you in prayer, faithfully.**
All of you who are anointed by the Holy Spirit should follow His Leading. The anointing BREAKS THE YOKE OF SIN. The person is freed to hear the scriptural TRUTH.
I can't even count how many times, as a street minister, the Holy Spirit warned me, said go here go there, or stop for coffee and there would be someone who would see my ragged Bible and ask me if I believed the Good Book?
Don't be afraid to witness. It's the Power of God unto Salvation!! Some of us are called spiritual paramedics.
Jeremiah 17:5 - Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Psalms 118:9 - It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
Our trust should be placed wholly in Christ Jesus and none other. We do have families, there are friends but even some of those I've come across who seem to be the most trustworthy; they'll betray you when you most or least expect. We as humans are not equipped to keep promises, to bestow trust but to learn from Christ's example on how to live. We need to have fellowship with other Christians, we need family and we need to be part of the body (the church). However, how much you give of yourself to man...that's something I'd always do with a certain precaution.
Ending with again Psalms 118 but verse 8:
Psalms 118:8 - It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
