You know there are those in the clergy that think their own reputation is far more important to them then reaching out with arms of compassion to another hurting clergy person. That totally baffles me and in my opinion that is not a Jesus like quality is it. Jesus reached out to the hurting around Him and quite frankly put the religious leaders in their place when they would always try to trip Him up.
When do mere men and women think that it is all about them and their agenda over helping the lost sheep? Didn't Jesus leave the 99 to go and get the one, yes He did.
This sort of nonsense is going on in the church today and it needs to stop. God is taking mental note so to speak of all this. So, why would one need to distance themself from another to protect their reputation over helping them? This baffles me and I could only come to one conclusion. That being the 2 may have been in some sort of sin related stuff and 1 may have been exposed so to speak while the other sneaked away from being caught in sin. All that is hidden in the dark will be exposed in the light so as to clean up the church for Jesus' glorious return.
Don't run from your sin because it is going to find you out eventually. Come forth now and ask forgiveness while there still is time. I was at a church gathering a few years ago and witnessed the humbleness of a male, well known preacher begin to confess his sin in front of all us that were in attendance that night. I did not go to church that night to experience that sort of thing. Maybe I was there that night to allow me to write about this today. Let me tell you there was a powerful altar call that night with both men and women responding to that repentance moment.
I remember then and still today why did I have to listen to this raw confession made by a man and I am a godly woman trying to figure out what purpose I was there for. Let me back track a bit on that evening. I knew one of the pastors there from back home. It was great seeing a few familiar faces from Ohio that night. Even one of them took a selfie of us and sent it to their dad (and mom too) who was a deacon/teacher at the church I attended in Ohio. A great godly family. I came to church and sat with friends of mine in the upper level of that particular church. I got permission to use my percussion instruments that night in church. So far so good. This was unusual, during worship with my eyes closed I then opened them for a brief moment only to find an older gentleman walking by looking right at me and smiled at me.
I closed my eyes and continued to worship. I often wonder if someone sent him to give their opinion to them if I was a genuine worshipers? You know, those Holy Spirit insights He gives to you. Why did I feel compelled to open my eyes at that very moment to witness what I witnessed.
People don't give me enough credit for knowing what is going on around me do they. See. I am a very detail oriented person that sees/observes things. I may not speak them forth until the timing is just right. Do not underestimate what you think I may or may not know because Holy Spirit shares lots of things with me. Remember, only to be revealed in His perfect timing. Just like Ed Silvoso's book states: "Women: God's Secret Weapon."
Don't think that I am not aware of how I have been tested all along. I probably could bring back to memory recall each time I was tested and yes, I passed each test! Trust me, I have asked this question to Holy Spirit on numerous occasions, Another test how come I have to go through so many and others didn't have to go through that many?
The Storm has passed and there is now stillness in the atmosphere with the faint sound of thunder in the distance.
I was glad I went to the drive in last night. The movie was funny in parts and I was laughing out loud in my car. I really do need to do some more fun things don't I?
