 House of God (Jeremiah 26: 11)

Jeremiah was a prophet and things that he said  people didn’t like it  and they were going to kill him right in the house of  the lord  and Jeremiah said if you kill me in the house of the lord  my blood is going be on your hands , make sure you can take the  consequence,  but what blew my mind is that   they were going to do  it in the house of  the lord, and many times  things have happened in the house of the lord  and people talk about church hurt.

There no church like  church hurt  and they wonder  why things happen  in the house of  the lord  and they are anointed, gifted people  who are sanctified, who love God, who don’t go to church no more  because they had an experience  in church that hurt them  that devastated them  and I really don’t understand  that,  because  people have experience at  grocery stores  but guess what  they  either  go to the  management and resolve the issue that happened in the grocery store.  but they don’t say  I ain’t never  going to the  grocery store again  and so it’s  same thing  with church.

Something may happen, you may be hurt  but work through with it there  or go somewhere else  but don’t stop going to  church  because you were  hurt  or because  you had an experience  in church  and so I ‘m inviting you today  to change  your  outlook  of what church is.

Maybe, see it as a hospital that sick people  are coming to  the hospital  and sometimes  the doctors and the nurses  even the staffs   they catch infections  and they bring  stuff into the hospital  but the goal of the  hospital is healing. People come there because  they are  serving  some type  of health challenge  and the church is a place of  healing.

 

Maybe, see it as a dressing room where people are taking things off and putting things on. They are taking off all ways of  being  and putting on new ways of  being, taking off old ways of seeing and putting on  new ways of seeing, taking off old ways of thinking and putting on new ways of thinking, taking off old ways of speaking and putting on new ways of  speaking, taking off  old  behaviors and putting on new behaviors so where people are in transition, they are making changes.

See it as a gas station where people are coming in empty to be filled  and people get various  levels of filling based upon their consciousness, some people get ¼ tank, some ½ tank , some people  get a full tank of gas. Amen. But it’s based upon where they are, it is a filling stage maybe they going to the restroom, maybe they need their windshield wipers  clean, maybe they need  some water  but they are  coming to the gas station  because of  they have  a need, I believe  if we change  our image  of how  we are looking at church  then we will have different experiences.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
