Re: Question for those in full time Ministry

Well, now you went and got me to thinkin about this thread. And..when I think...I talk.

Early in my ministry, the Lord began to deal with me. He said, "Go...separate yourself from among men and I will teach you your ministry". I went into the NC mountains and spent 10 days in fasting and prayer. The Lord took me through the Books of 1 and 2 Tim and Titus and taught me what it means to "do the work of an evangelist". I learned much, I call that 10 days my Bible School Crash Course. One thing the Lord dealt with me was this: "Never preach what you believe. Preach what you feel". I can't preach "hermenetics" and "soberieolgy" or however they are spelled, because, to be honest, I don't know what those are. When I post here, I don't post what I believe so much as I do what I feel, because, beliefs, well, they change. Beliefs are often referred to in the Bible as "wind"-(Every wind of doctrine" etc.). But when we feel, or experience what we preach or post, that does not change. Thomas walked with Jesus for a long time. He saw the miracles, he believed in what Jesus was saying. But, until he FELT those wounds, his belief was subject to change or falter.

I guess thats why its important to live what you preach. I've seen it on here... people post what they believe is right, yet, somewhere along the line, an inconsistency is noted, because they are merely saying what they believe (what they have been taught). Consistency between ones walk and his talk comes from the experience of the one doing the talking. I can't prove there is a God, though I believe He exists. So my faith in God's existence can't be based on what I believe. It has to be based on what I have experienced from God.
