Re: Music Devils

Blame the spineless pastor for permitting that junk to go on.

No matter what pastor does to pacify the music devil things escalate....

Finally the blow up takes place....

Music Devil takes his person and goes down the road....

The first service without the music devil attitude peace and sweetness returns to sanctuary...

Pastor kicks himself for allowing himself to be held hostage.....

Four Faces of a Pastor

My friend John Carroll mentioned Ezekiel's four headed creature the other day. I have pondered and reflected upon my own pastorate and offer a few simple thoughts...www.rkentsmith.blogspot.com

Re: Four Faces of a Pastor

You know, I read this and found it insightful. However, I submit one more face, and that as a lamb or dove (as Jesus said). Sometimes, in the midst of the roaring and soaring and plodding, a preacher has to be gentle. But, I guess that is where the MAN comes in. He has to deal with people on a emotional, human level which includes gentleness and tenderness. Very good thought, Pastor.

Re: Four Faces of a Pastor

Excellent article, and I also agree with OneAccord that a 5th face, and probably the most important, is needed.... He called it a lamb or dove. I would call it that of a servant.

Devil Sent a Demon Today

Pastor was preaching real good about this being somebody's day and moment....

Enter the Demonic Display....

Little black lady in a housecoat, flipflops, doorag and drunk as a skunk wanders into the sanctuary and begins to run laps....

Then she flops in the floor and does the satanic serpant thing....

The ushers are ready to bounce her out but I say leave her alone and continue to preach that we will not be distracted by demonic presentation.....

When all of the sudden.....

The HG falls on a young man and he jumps and runs to the front.....

He is filled with the HG and delivered from some very dark demonic spirits....

As he is being delivered the Devils Demonic Presentation tries to slither up to him hissing etc....

But to no avail......

The bouncers are now allowed to do what they knew to do and the Demon began cursing and ran from the santuary and out of the church......

It will be interesting to watch the hand of God on the young man who God delivered....

Obviously the devil did not want to let go......

Re: Devil Sent a Demon Today

Whats the 'satanic serpent' thing, lol?
And just curious, do you mean that when someone runs in the spirit they are being set free of some dark demonic spirits?
Was that young man already baptized in Jesus name, or not?
