Do you think Revelations is enigmatic?

He would throw her a beating, and then kick her out of the house. Her testimony wasn't getting a busted lop from her husband, but that everytime she would go to church she would shout her hair down. She promised herself that she would get so filled with a move of God, that it would carry her through. Bro, were the old timers a different breed? A sister was in a car accident where her car was rear ended and the gas tank exploded. The impact was so extreme that her driver's seat broke and flipped her into the back of the car where the gas tank ruptured. The fire dept finally came and put out the fire, they believed that no one survived. Until they heard a sound of our sister whimpering from within the car. She was unrecognizably burned over 90% of her body. Yet, I never ever failed to see her testify about her victory in Christ. The overcoming power of Christ lived out in her life, her worship and prayer life. Must of been a different breed, because you teach that these people should be rolled up in the fetal position under the pews. Instead of living in victory shouting on the backs of the pews. There's your warriors my boy.




No, He gives you mastery over them.



What kind of Apostolic church were you in? I'm as serious as a heart attack. Did you just attend a church where everyone just got dressed. Looked the part, but Jesus was across town? What I found about the Apostolic people, was that they preached Holy Ghost, taught Holy Ghost, lived Holy Ghost, walked Holy Ghost, ate Holy Ghost, and most of all trusted Holy Ghost. They allowed the move of the Holy Ghost, from the pulpit to the door. They had their mind on Jesus and they had church. I'm real sorry, but the First Church of Brillo just don't get'er done.



Chris, drop the act, I'm done with YOUR whining. I don't belittle saints of God. I don't berate saints of God. I don't brow beat saints of God, I do take my can opener and work on tinmen, blow hards, who couldn't give a care, about living for God themselves, therefore block the way for anyone else. How dare you undermine a sinner seeking life eternal, with your sorry excuses. One minute you are claiming you are bawling while you post, only to gather up a second wind and start throwing punches.

I really hope you realize that no one is your enemy, only Satan.

And Only Jesus Christ can vanquish the devil once and for all in your life.

Take His yoke upon you, and learn of Him. He makes it light because He does most of the heavy lifting. Until you come to the place where you can help others

First, the 24 year old girl had medical attention that I'm certain her church and family praise God for. I know you probably think she's less of a saint for needing such help, because if she were filled with enough Holy Ghost, she'd have been miraculously healed, right? And second, should she begin to have a serious anxiety disorder in the future related to her shooting, you leave me fully believing that you wouldn't be man enough to advise that while she prays she should see a professional counselor. And thirdly, if she did, shed be a stronger man than you.

It might be years from now. But a car backfiring near her could trigger a reaction that sends her spiraling into a world of internal horror. She's not out of the woods yet. And if you understood anything about trauma, you'd know that. When she limped into church to impress people like you, instead of resting and healing, I bet you didn't even pull her aside and ask if she might need someone to talk to. I bet you never advised that maybe she should talk to someone, or should still be resting. You probably capitalized on her desperate effort to impress your church with accolades of encouragement. You may very well have helped place a ticking time bomb in her soul that could blow her, and her family, apart one day. I pray it doesn't happen, but don't be surprised or berate her if it does. After all, you will have contributed. Her actions are a bad sign, she's not focused on healing. She's focused on desperately proving her worth to a church that isn't worthy of her.

In where I work now, I've seen police officers race back to the job after serious trama, and fall apart months or years later. Such effort to prove one is well in the aftermath of trauma often causes the healing process to become more difficult. This stuff is no joke.
