Helping people

[Racine]

Well thank you for welcoming me!

It seems like the biggest taboo is the subject of preachers and evangelists. As a UPC member, I used to think that the leaders screened most preachers and I found that if you ever had a question about something one of them said, it was met with; you better be careful walking there sister, touch not mine annointed.

I took this for several years, I watched my children get called out of their pew, called out on sins that were suspected of them, I was called out, my husband was called out. Finally I realized that all of us are God's annointed. It came to me one day, because I knew how sincere and faithful my family was, that these preachers better watch out from touching God's annointed.

There was a particular evangelist who was really good at calling out people. He would say good things, claiming he had heard from God when actually he had heard it over dinner, or say bad things to put the fear of God in the young people, leaving them wonder how he knew. I personally witnessed him getting information about young people and then claiming over the pulpit he received it from God.

We the people are God's annointed.
