All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

DON'T PREACH THE GOSPEL YOU SAY!!! WHO WOULD SAY A THING LIKE THAT???

OH PRAISE THE LORD! PRAISE JESUS FOR THE ONE HE SENDS TO US TO HELP GUIDE US INTO ALL TRUTH!!

A few weeks ago someone tried to discourage this child of God from seeking fellowship at a Healing Service and oh yes, today someone tried to discourage this same child of God from Preaching the Gospel.

A human voice I almost listened to. Two Christian human voices who may have had good intentions but those good intentions did not fall in line with God's word.

I went and prayed about this and to seek our Lord for answers and guidance as it is indeed the Holy Spirit and the still small voice that will guide me if I am ready to recieve such guidance, and that guidance is there for all of us should we be ready to recieve it.

Should we see a brother heading down the wrong road we are indeed to help that brother and we help that brother by gently applying scripture.When we do this they can either recieve it or leave it.If they decide to leave it we can only pray that the Holy Spirit sets their heart in the right direction.

I have been accused even by the brethren of "Bible thumping."

Persecuted by those who my Lord has given me words to leave with them to plant the seeds for our Heavenly Father to water.

Do I please man and stop helping the brethren in the ways our Lord has taught me? Or do I please my Lord and Master?My Saviour who gave all for me?

I WILL PLEASE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.!! There is NO OTHER OPTION and I am pleased to please my Father!!

GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE. MARK 16;15

GO YE THEREFORE AND TEACH ALL NATIONS... ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. MATTHEW 28: 19-20

... WERE MORE NOBLE THAN THOSE IN THESSALONICA,IN THAT THEY RECIEVED THE WORD WITH ALL READINESS OF MIND, AND SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY,WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. ACTS 11:17

This verse warns us to take note and seek the knowledge of God

HOSEA 4:6

"MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE; BECAUSE THOU HAST REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I WILL ALSO REJECT THEE!!!

To see a brother in err it is a natural thing to hear the voice of God and try to impart God's knowledge on him or her in a gentle way.If that brother strikes out at us then so be it.God smiles when we try to teach and shepherd His beloved Body of Christ.Not very pleasing sometimes to those who reject His word and yes we are going to take a few lumps if they reject it.But out of love for our brother and the "Still small Voice" within us it is ours to at least try.

A word about witnessing!!

ISAIAH 40:3

THE VOICE OF HIM THAT CRIETH IN THE WILDERNESS,PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD,MAKE STRAIGHT IN THE DESERT A HIGHWAY FOR OUR GOD.

ISAIAH 57:14

AND SHALL SAY,CAST YE UP,CAST YE UP,PREPARE THE WAY,TAKE UP THE STUMBLING BLOCK OUT OF THE WAY OF MY PEOPLE

IN CLOSING, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THIS QUESTION? IS IT WRONG TO SEE A CHILD PLAYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND DO NOTHING ??? OR DO WE LOVINGLY LET THAT CHILD KNOW THERE IS DANGER IN PLAYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET???

I WOULD NEVER WANT TO STUMBLE A BROTHER BUT IS IT NOT OUT OF LOVE THAT WE ENCOURAGE AND TRY TO HELP A BROTHER TO KNOW THE DANGERS OF WHAT HE IS DOING?

I MYSELF AM BY NO MEANS PERFECT BUT AT THE SAME TIME TO STAND BY AND WATCH SOMEONE FALL WOULD BRING DEEP CONVICTION TO MY HEART IF I DID NOT IMPART TO THEM THE KNOWLEDGE THAT GOD HAS IMPARTED TO ME EVEN IF I HAVE TO TAKE MY LUMPS IN DOING WHAT IS RIGHT. EVEN IF LIES AND PERSECUTION FOLLOW.

I WOULD APPRECIATE FEEDBACK ON THIS BLOG.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

LOVE IN CHRIST,

IN HIS GRACE,

NANCY.

Oh yes Edwin ! I have seen as an encourager that there are precious ones of the Lords children who sometimes will begin to place the encourager on a pedestal and hang to their every word, like an idol. It is why one must be careful and always remind those seeking advice to seek God and become very close to Him and know His voice. That God's voice and will for them is mightier than anything we may say to them and His word to them will be "flawless." Yes again to your statement about loving others enough to want to see them grow in the Lord. It is out of love that we admonish a child for playing on the road and try to teach them to play where it is safe and stay off the road.Sometimes we just want to have our own way, kick and scream and reject that love but I know what has happened in my own life when I myself have done that very thing.In the end I realized that God being the perfect parent would love us the easy way or if He had to He would love us the hard way but He will ALWAYS LOVE US!! Reject God's perfect love for us NO WAY!!
Thanksgiving I give to You Father God , this day and always for loving me and finally opening up the eyes and heart of this less than perfect child.AMEN!!!

Yes Maggie. It makes me very sad to watch this as well. But we do our part,keep praying for them and move on!! Let God do the rest. His hand is much mightier than ours,we are only vessels to do His will when He speaks to us.We are here for each other and God is here for us all.God bless you all!
Love and hugs to each and every one of you, I truly appreciate this family!!

My cousin told me instead of me praying to God to change my daughters (since I already know they don't want me in their lives), and they are non believers, I should pray that God change me to be able to accept it. I do accept it, and it makes me so sad! But, no one on this earth will convince me I shouldn't pray for them. I wrote back to my cousin and told her "I will pray for all of us". My daughters think I'm a bible thumper. It doesn't bother me. I am who I am, (a believer). If that makes me a bible thumper then I guess I am. If they can't accept me, then so be it! No one will ever take me away from my God again! I wouldn't give him up for my own daughters. Even if it meant they would put me in their lives again if I did. Forget that man!!! Aint no way no how!!! I have been told by family that I shouldn't bring God up to them because it will make them stay away. I would rather have no one on this earth than not have God. I have been persecuted for 12 years now. No skin off of my nose!! LOL!! I march to a different drummer. I wouldn't be any other way. I am just happy as a little bird with a french fry that I have my brothers and sisters on this wonderful web site!! Thank you for being here for me. Amen!!!

Thought for a little while I may have done something wrong here but when is does not sit well with Your Spirit, the wrong thing to do would be to take the easier route and not listen to Him. It is when doubt creeps in that will be our downfall.Still even so, we do need others in the Body of Christ to mentor,it is why God has imparted different gifts to each member within this precious family.God bless you and thankyou for your input Glenda!
Comment by Grace by the Lake on March 26, 2010 at 8:32pm

The truth offends those who refuse to accept it. That's just how it is. I'm saddened to learn of your troubles, though. When people take offence, they tend to strike, and it generally hurts when they do. But, look up, cuz our redemption draws nigh! :-) God Bless you, Nancy! Love ya
