In a small field of labor between the North and the South one woman began to put into the work of the Lord (which was not yet self-supporting) enough money to pay for the rental of a church building and a place for the ministry to live. They moved three hours from their home to pastor a new work while still driving all week long to jobs in a far away city.
As soon as they arrived she and her husband took them into their home and began to discuss all the things they disproved of about church meetings. The next day they left to join a church that was more "hard core apostolic." The main thing that they disliked was that the pastor allowed new people to ask questions and even allowed other members to share their opinion of the answers during Sunday School. After leaving she then called all the new church members to inform them that their pastor did not teach as she felt he was supposed to and they should come with her to the church down the road. What was the response? The new congregation (poor financially but spiritually rich) decided to go on and work in the field of labor with the pastors. Jesus is good. Though there are some who can and will always be abusive Jesus sends the balm of Gilead through others who care. To all pastors who have gone through this sort of scenario. Hats off to you for coming into your field of labor for Jesus not man. He will lift you up. When Jesus was on His way to Calvary and the cross became too hard to bear someone was appointed to carry it for Him. Don't be surprised when Jesus appoints a sister or brother to help you with your burden. They may not be there for the whole scene but regardless of who he uses whether he uses their money or time accept it and go on.
Rom 8:28 KJV
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Just be thanking God the controlling spirit of witchcraft is out the door instead of in it.
