Moving To NC

Dude you don't know me and I don't have to justify myself or my actions to you one bit. If you have a "Word" then speak it as such but keep your fear mongering and character assassination off my post.

I have not assassinated your character.

You have become incredibly defensive about a subject that you opened for discussion on what is supposed to be an APOSTOLIC forum.

As Apostolics, as CHRISTIANS, the ideas of Spiritual Authority, of doing things within the order of God, of being cautious and maybe even waiting on God to confirm the word you think He gave you-- none of these things should be offensive to us.

Jedi will,

only you can answer this. We are both using pseudonyms so I feel safe in asking you this publically. Besides, someone might come after us and see this discussion.

Have you been successful at anything that you have pursued in life? Have you found that you are constantly in a place of poverty and unproductivity? How about your decisions-- have they ever brought you to a place of lasting fruitfulness? A lot of people live paycheck to paycheck, but there are some people, even Christians, who are living at a place that is even more precarious than paycheck to paycheck.

Are you REIGNING with Christ? Are you living an abundant life? This is not "prosperity gospel", this is solid scripture. Since coming to Christ, have you ever been in a place of abundance? Only you know the answers to these personal questions.

If we were in a place of constant persecution, like the New Testament church, then there would be justification for being in constant struggle and survival mode.

But we are in America and not experiencing New Testament persecution.

I ask these things, not to accuse-- but when we are self-willed and when we refuse to be in a place oF submission, then God, the loving Father that He is, will keep stinging you and stinging me until we come to a place where we are not self-willed.

God does not make bad investments. If WE are saved, He will break us until we are not self-willed. I know what I have seen in my life and in the lives of others.

There are things that we are pleading the Blood oF Jesus for when it is God who is actually holding these things from us, until He is formed in us... again.

The fact that you became so defensive from the outset should make you pause. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a Christian telling another Christian what I have said and asking you what I have asked (other than the one question where I confessed that I asked it with the wrong spirit).

Is this Apostolic Friends Forum or is this just another social media cesspool?

Paul had a "thorn in his side", guess bucky wants to be the same to Jediwill

I moved to NC 4 years ago from Michigan, I dont recall asking either of the two guys I call pastor. I did notify them because I was in the music ministry.

While I may consider a pastors advise, he may also be with freindly retort, ignored. Unless someone ran to Jediwill saying I prophetically pronounce Judgement on this move, he does not have to ask permission like he is a 10 year old wanting to buy a hotwheels car.

Some of yall scare me with the pastor pedestaling you do.

My Uncle (my dads brother) pastored a nice church near Dequincy,LA for years he is now retired. I remember having a conversation along the lines of this subject. He would not council people on matters such as jobs, moving, purchases, investments, marriage etc. His would simply tell them to hit THIER knees and pray.

It's not about asking the man for permission. That is not the proper dynamic I am suggesting should happen.

A good Pastor will not make this about permission anyway. Your Pastor loves you and (absent a direct word from God) he is not looking to put you in a situation where you would be breaking your own neck to do whatever it is you want to do.

Jediwill,
Do you trust God?
Do you have a Pastor?
Did God give you this Pastor?
What is God's role and purpose for the Pastor that He has placed in your life?
Would you allow God to speak to you, ADVISE YOU, through the Pastor that He has given you?

If not a Pastor, do you at least have some sort of person you respect, who is clearly more spiritual than you, in your life? Does he have your permission to "pull your coat tail" when he can see that you are about to fall on your sword?

Let me help you out here.

Sometimes becoming defensive has nothing to do with you or anyone else giving advice. Usually it is the messenger, and Buck, you are the wrong messenger for giving a message. Contemplate this on the tree of woe

The message was to talk with your Pastor or at least a spiritual mentor.

You guys are all out of your minds!

I never wished ill for the brother. I stated at least twice that if he had already spoken with someone in spiritual authority in his life then fine.

What I espoused was biblically sound. No one is headed to "a tree of woe" as long as we do things His Way.
