However, no pastor should hinder victories of tomorrow with disappointments of yesterday, due to previous ill experiences.


Anyone claiming to receive granted permission from God to utilize profanity is ignorant. Can you conceive the idea of God or us needing profanity to convey a message?


Furthermore, after reading the following scripture, written within Paul's letter to the saints in Colossae, it was either carnalism or demonic influence that granted this female poster permission to utilize filthy language!

Col 3:8
80 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips





p.s. Pro 17:27 A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.

Im not refering to a special office in the church that can hear God and everyone else can't. Im talking about ALL Holy Ghost filled believers. How do they know they have heard from God and not just their own feelings?
