GETTING TO KNOW GOD FOR MYSELF
Faith to believe God's word is the very essence of receiving the promises that He says we can have. As a Christian that Scripture in Romans10:17 “... Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God”, gives us knowledge on how faith comes, by taking in God's word.
CAN MY BISHOP PREACH ME INTO HEAVEN?
I was raised in the 1960's a community where your parents made you go to church and on the way pick up friends along the way and could walk to church on Sunday morning to attend Sunday School at 9AM until young folks church started. In 1968 I joined a baptist church while my parents were still members (AME) African.Methodist Episcopal
Well, needless to say we'd go to the corner store called "Spic n Span," and spend our plate money .25 cents or less on junk on Grant St then walk up the hill slow to church one Sunday morning we found an envelope packed full with dollars.. woops testi-fying now!Anyway, I bet you think we took it right up to Pastor Stroman and confessed we told him what we found, he stood us up in front of everyone and said what a great deed we did not only bringing what belong to the Heavenly Father into the storehouse but not stealing which is a sin before our GOD. Nope didn't happen.
Well, we went back to Spic n Span and I ain't gonna indite anybody else; BUT GOD did witness that event. We did go into Sunday School skipping that day. I sang in the choir and can sing too, got baptized at 8 years old without coaxing. Then on another ocassion I went along with family friends to see and hear Gospel singer the late Gloria Spencer ( the original fat lady that could sing), for you old timers and when I received the holy ghost for the first time at about 12; to be honest my life has never been the same or easy.. I ran away from my call similar to the guy who got swallowed by in the belly of a whale!!!! Except it was the world that swallowed me whole.
It's Marvelous because GOD has been covering me like stink on u know what ever since..He was just waiting for me "to come to myself" and to this day I often fall short of His Glory.
I've never forgot that bad decision not to take that money back to Church. LORD knows where it would have led me instead somedays I feel like a few of my other hardheaded brothers and sisters who are biblically described. We often miss the whole point Sin is Sin if you break 1 commandment you've broken all 10 commandments. There is no big or little sin it will all land you in the same hell prepared for those of us who think we've gotten away.....
I'm not ordained but maybe I shoulda been, then I use to sing had strong chops too so maybe I shoulda been a great singer, or since I was raised with edicate, well educated not in private schools but I did attend and graduated from one of the best Public schools that DC had to offer. At the time and my mother was well liked within the community so I had a good start and could launch just about anything.... but like I use to say to my children "when we are growing up, (and we are always growing up even as adults), picture life like a fence which has a broad steel pole fence that your walking down. It's a long walk to get to the other end so you must balance yourself evenly because; IF you straddle the fence too long you might fall off, depending on what side of the fence you fall down on you need a strong foundation to get back up on the fence to walk it out to the end. But If you fall down on the wrong side w/o that foundation you may end up in a pit not hell. The pits" as we call it or "Rock Bottom"
Donnie McClurkin's ministry the Pastor & Psalmist preclaims "We Fall Down but we get up" that's GOD's divinity and agape what we can't phathom unless you study the history and prove yourself in HIS sight. See I grew up in the church went to church all the time can shout and sing. I do speak in tongues don't care how you recieve that because I serve a Mighty GOD...
I'm not running for office nor do I represent any ministry. I do support Bishop TD Jakes and him only at this time is who I seek my guidance and teaching from. Not promoting him just saying whats working for me now. My bottom line is no matter how much my Bishop is ordained and blessed to deliver the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ whom I believe in, that's not going to get me delivered. Jesus paved the way for me and you to come directly to the source we need.
Finally as a suggestion and it works for me, but your experience could be different just as a disclaimer, our relationship with GOD is unique as our fingerprints.
Read and study whatever religion you serve hopefully it's GOD because times are changing people. I admire the men of GOD who preach to us to inspire us to do better financially become self entrapeneurs - so anyway
My message is to say going to church is always nice on your resume and in the whole community. You have to GET SERIOUS about your faith walk, and if you are given instructions on Sunday, and don't see your notes again until next Sunday. You ain't up on your game. I want to go deeper right here so I don't give the wrong impression most people join organized religion always seeking higher ground but to where and why?
Yes, giving a tithe is important all of us should honor that; yes serving your fellowman each day; but do we love one another as He loves us. I realize some people study the bible just to sound good at it.. not saying they aren't sincere but my topic is to ponder about your relationship with GOD it's personal so I really am not gonna say comment about this. It's a personal question sit alone with this one.
Dust off your KJV Bibles, Torrah, Korans and read them because we are all living in a period of time we all act like spoiled children who are all accustomed to having their way who enjoy a loving GOD that does supply and provides for us each and every day.
Serve, Trust and LOVE GOD call on him don't fear or be ashamed to know HIM. See I don't get paid for this - So I better give time to the ONE and only EL Elyon the great I AM who provides all for me. I just put it out there what you do with it is on you...
Just as a reminder... Housekeeping rules
GOD SEES YOU AND IS AWARE OF EVERYTHING THAT WE DO.
Simply Marvelous...
