Well, it is 6 am. Another day in the life of the hardworking people of this world. I am looking forward to the time when I can sit at the Father's table and not have to be somewhere else, not have to answer to someone else and just talk to Him.
Won't it be wonderful there
Having no burdens to bear
Joyously singing with heartbells all ringing
O won't it be wonderful there.
I think of our organization today as opposed to 5 years ago (or maybe I was like a mule with blinders on). I truly had such expectations from our ministry. I had true hopes that the flesh had not necessarily been eliminated but, that it had been so bruised and scarred, that the membership of the body would not have to endure the same spirit, the same power hungry aggression, the same disrespect for the Word, the same ..I'm right, You're wrong attitude, that we had endured in the past.
I talked with my overseer last night---for the first time by the way. We have been very silent on these issues, only speaking very discretely and praying amoung our family and one close prayer partner. We agreed that the devil is sitting over in his corner,laughing at the Body of Christ--enjoying a long, long break from his malicious work, because we are destroying ourselves from within, and hanging our dirty laundry on the line for the whole world to see and evaluate our inability to carry on the work of God.
Come on Body of Christ. Can't we do what we taught our children. Can't we do what we teach our congregations, Can't we follow the word of God???? Can we not be THE FAMILY OF GOD????
Let us please lay down all our attitudes, all our hurt feelings, all our predjudices, all our inconsistencies, all our he said-she saids...on the altar.
Let us pray....pray....pray. Let us be honorable servants.
