Still Where the Lord Planted You?

Being planted somewhere has less to do with the church and pastor. I know folks who uprooted themselves and followed the guy or they lost their walk with God altogether when the pastor left.

On the other hand, if you acknowledge someone as being your pastor, you should have the expectation to talk with him at a minimum about a move.

I am not sure about this pastor blessing a move stuff, sometimes people, saints and pastors are too self serving to make an honest decision.

I used to have a pastor who literally thought you were out of the blessing plan of God if you didn't consult him on things like buying a car, going to visit unsaved family members, moving to another house, etc. I finally told him I wasn't going to come ask his permission every time I wanted to spend $50. He told me it was fine but not to be surprised if God stopped blessing me. It was another step in my leaving that church. lol
