I plead the blood of Jesus every day over my family, over my home, over my church and the pastor.
I won't have to fight this battle much longer because the spirit that has been attacking the work of God in my church is gasping for its last breath.
Trust me, if it weren't for love for the lost, I would have walked along time ago.
God's enemies are my enemies. If people choose to attack God's work in my community they have become my enemy.
It is a given there is always an open door for repentance. History shows and scripture suggests if one goes too far, chances a person will responde to repentance is slim and none.

And this is exactly why I'm glad I didn't walk into your church.
Brother, seriously. You wouldn't have wanted me. Do you have any idea what that would have meant for me? The pastor of the church I walked into had no idea what to do with me, but *he loved me*. And he prayed for me.
It's taken me a year and a half, and I'm still struggling with God, still resisting, still arguing, still fighting. I've softened a *lot*. There are several here who can attest to that. But even now as I am, you probably wouldn't want me in your church.
