TwitterThe Holy Spirit just revelaed to me that we are to stand our ground and speak thus saith the Lord at all times. We will forever endure persecution, accusation, and attacks, but the one thing I know is that God honours our obedience to minister to the world and speak His Truth…which is the Word of God. As many of you grow in the things of the Lord, please be mindful that there will be occasions where you WILL be attacked by people who don’t beleive and people who DO beleive. Stephen was a man after the heart of God and desired to speak the Truth. As he exposed and spoke the truth, he was stoned to death. Acts 6:8-8:1. The truth may hurt some people. Let’s be honest… there may have been times where someone had spoke the truth to YOU, and you didn’t want to receive it and assumed it was a lie, so you didn’t want to receive it. Somewhere in your heart, you knew there was an element of truth in what they where saying. You may experience the following and you stand firm in the things of Christ:
Gossip, gossip, gossip. We have all done it. I have done it and participated in it. There are 3 gates that we must protect: The eyes, the ears, and the mouth. The ears are very vital because what we hear goes into our spirit; this is why we must be careful of what type of music we listen to. Who you let speak into you ear can lead you on a path of destruction. The saddest part about gossip, is that it is usually people that are closet to you. Perhaps you have a best friend you known for years, and all he or she does it talk about other people and their situations…filling your spirit full of JUNK. Most of the time, since you have known them for many years, you may feel that they aren’t doing any wrong, but just speaking their opinion. I have learned a VALUABLE lesson about who and what is coming into my ear gate. I have let many people knock me off course because I let them speak into my ear about something that was totally out of order. God may have given me clear directions to do something, but I chose to take another direction, and had gotten messed up…severely.
Is It Hard For You To Pray For People You Don’t Like Or Made You Mad? It is hard for me to even begin to touch on this topic because even I have struggled with this issue! There have been times that God instructed me to pray and intercede on behalf of other people and I refused or didn’t want to because either I didn’t like them, or they hurt my feelings. I will be honest, forgiveness and mercy is not something that are so easily to do. If we are all called to the purpose of the Lord, then why is it so hard for some of us to pray for those that we may not be in agreement with? 
What is a silent dispute, you ask? This is a controversial topic and I have seen pastors preach on this message plenty of times, yet no one gets it. Most things that go on in the church are hidden. This is one of my favorite topics because most people do not like to even acknowledge what is going on in the congregation. A silent dispute in the church is an area or issue where there is tension, debate, or disagreement with members, people, or leaders. There could be someone who is mad at a person in the church, and does little manipulative things to the other person that the pastor or other members can’t see or recognize. Sometimes, one person, or both parties are in aught with each other, and are fighting over a position, title, or role. Other times it has nothing to do with what is going on inside of the church, but those individuals may have already had issues and when they come to church, they argue, bicker, fight, and complain, but do it silently.
Many of these celebrities are into Free masonry and satanism. PLEASE review this with an open heart. I pray that the scales will be taken off of your eyes. In Jesus name.
When God elevates you…He wants you to walk into and go beyond that elevation. The thing with some of us humans is that when God elevates us, we look back or go into a place where we have been before, forgetting that we have paid the price and laboured in the vineyard. Accept the change and the place where God taking you. If you have served your purpose at a place, with a person, or thing…let it be that and move into the land of milk and honey. 
What do you really know about the “fish symbol”? “The secret symbol of the fish was used by early persecuted Christians to designate themselves as believers in Jesus. The letters of the word “fish” (I, CH, TH, U, S) in Greek are the first letters of the words, “Jesus, Christ, God’s Son, Savior.” (quoted from 
Luke 6:28 says it best in the Bible: “Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.” I will be honest, this is the MOST DIFFICULT things that I have ever had to do in my Christian walk. No matter how saved or gifted I am, it is the most challenging. Not because I don’t want to forgive or bless those that do me wrong, but because of the years of pain I have endured over the past 31 years of my life with being mistreated, rejected, and abused. The truth is…our feelings really have nothing to do with us at all. People get their feelings hurt all the time, and that sure doesn’t stop the devil from using people, either. The obvious approach to dealing with people who intentional use us is to seek revenge. I will be honest…that is something that I use to do in my past. Try to find ways to get back at the offender. As I have grown in maturity, the Lord has taught me how to defend for myself with the Word of God and the Spirit of Love. There is nothing like giving your 110% to a relationship, ministry, career, friends, etc. and you end up with hot coals in your hand. I have a powerful testimony that I am going to share with all of you at a later date. The things that I have gone through should have had me locked up in a mental institution for the rest of my life. God has a tremendous purpose for me and I have to constantly remind myself of why I am here on this Earth.
