Meeting of the "Mines"

GRACE AND PEACE TO YOU FROM OUR RISEN SAVIOR AND LORD JESUS CHRIST. JUST CHECKING IN TO SHARE SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN BRANDED ON MY HEART FOR SOME TIME NOW.



WHEN WE WERE BORN WE WERE BORN INTO SIN . I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP IT`S IN THE WORD (PSALM 51 :5). THINK ABOUT IT WE WERE SELFISH, VYING FOR EVERYONES ATTENTION. WE WOULD CRY TO GET WHAT WE WANTED AND SOME OF US STILL DO IT TODAY. WE WENT TO SCHOOL AND THOUGHT ALL OF THE TOYS BELONGED TO US .IN OUR HOMES WE DIDN`T WANT TO SHARE FOOD,CLOTHING,HAIRBRUSHES OR OUR PARENTS WITH OTHERS,THUS LEADING US TO LIVE A LIFE LED BY THE "MINE "MENTALITY".

THE ONLY THING THAT IS TRULY OURS IS OUR SIN AND RARELY DO WE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT! LET US STOP BLAMING THE MAN, THE SYSTEM, OUR CHURCH, MAYOR AND ANYONE ELSE FOR THE WAY WE BEHAVE. NOW BACK TO WHY I AM REALLY WRITING.



PEOPLE, PASTORS  AND  PARENTS GOD HAS" LOANED "US OUR FRIENDS, CONGREGATIONS  AND CHILDREN . SOME WHERE ALONG THE WAY WE TOOK OWNERSHIP THAT WAS NOT RIGHTFULLY OURS ! (PSALM 24:1) CLEARLY STATES :"THE EARTH IS THE LORD..S AND ALL IT`S FULLNESS,THE WORLD AND THOSE WHO DWELL THEREIN". SO WHAT HAPPENED TO US PUTTING OUR CHILDREN ON THE ALTAR AND LEAVING THEM THERE?WHEN DID WE DECIDE BECAUSE SOMEONE ATTENDS OUR CHURCH WHICH IS REALLY NOT "OUR" CHURCH BUT THE VICTORIOUS CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST THAT THEY ARE OUR PROPERTY.

CHRIST HAS MADE US FREE FROM THE BONDAGE OF SLAVERY NEVER TO BE ENTANGLED AGAIN BY SIN.  SEE (GALATIANS 5:1) SO SINCE JESUS HAD MADE US FREE THROUGH THE GIFTS OF SALVATION HOW IS IT THAT WE HAVE BECOME SO TERRITORIAL CONCERNING OTHER PEOPLES LIVES?.



NOW DON`T GET ME WRONG I TRULY UNDERSTAND THE UNDER SHEPHERD  AS ONE BEING  APPOINTED BY GOD TO TEND TO THE SHEEP, AS WELL  AS BEING ONE WHO IS  UNDER THE GREAT SHEPHERD THEMSELVES. BUT IT IS THE JOB OF THE MESSIAH TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. THIS IS WHY WE TRUST IN THE MASTER  AND NOT PUT SO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE PASTOR.



PEOPLE GOD HAS GIVEN US FRIENDS ,NOW  THESE ARE NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH  THE ONES WE PICKED OUT FOR YOURSELVES,  BUT THOSE WHO ARE ORDAINED TO SUSTAIN. SEE (PROVERBS 17:17). SO WHY IS IT THAT WE GET ALL HUFFY WHEN OUR FRIENDS GET OTHER FRIENDS BESIDES US AND BEGIN TO TRIP? THERE IS SURELY ENOUGH OF YOU TO GO AROUND. GONE  ARE THE DAYS THAT WE SHOULD SEEK OUT FRIENDSHIPS BASED ON WHAT WE CAN RECIEVE FROM THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL . A FRIEND IS FRIENDLY ENOUGH TO CHECK YOU WHEN YOU ARE WRONG  AND WISE ENOUGH TO KNOW WHEN TO ONLY LISTEN  AND NOT SPEAK !



SOMEHOW WE HAVE TAKEN THE POSSESSIONS GOD HAS PLACED IN OUR LIVES AND TRIED TO "POSSESS" THEM , WANTING THEM TO CONFORM TO WHAT WE THINK THEY SHOULD DRESS, PRAISE OR ACT LIKE. THAT IS WHERE WE ARE OUT OF ORDER. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MORE THAN ABLE TO TRANSFORM SOMEONE ELSES   WHILE DOING THE SAME FOR YOU.


PARENTS I HAVE NOT FORGOT ABOUT YOU. I FEEL SO STRONGLY BECAUSE THE WORD HAS TO BE GIVEN TO ME AND RECIEVED BY ME BEFORE I DARE PASS IT ON. I HAVE CHILDREN OF MY OWN WHO ARE TEENAGERS NOW AND THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS EXASPERATE THEM ABOUT GOD.  SEE (EPHESIANS 6:4) TRAINING UP A CHILD DOES NOT MEAN TORTURING THEM WITH YOUR SET OF RULES. GIVE THEM SOME AIR TO BREATHE, DO WE NOT REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE RUNNING AROUND CAMPAIGNING FOR THE DEVIL?  AND DID NOT GOD SHOW US MERCY ? EXTEND THE SCEPTER OF GRACE TO YOUR CHILDREN.

IF THEY DON`T FALL THEY WILL NEVER KNOW FOR THEMSELVES THAT GOD CAN RAISE THEM UP.,IF THEY DON`T MAKE MISTAKES HOW CAN THEY RECIEVE  AND RECIPROCATE FORGIVENESS. IF THEY DON`T HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST THAT WE DESIRE OR THAT IS LIKE YOURS, MAYBE WE  NEED TO CHANGE OUR DESIRE. OUR CHILDREN  ARE INDIVIDUALS; PLEASE BEGIN TO TREAT THEM THAT WAY, NOT SHOWING FAVORITISM BUT ALLOWING THEIR GOD GIVEN UNIQUENESS TO BE DISPLAYED.


CHRIST HAS ALLOWED D  US TO BE "MANAGERS " NOT RULERS, MAY WE RENDER TO GOD WHAT IS HIS AND FREE HIM TO COMPLETE THE GOOD WORK HE BEGAN IN OTHERS  (PHILIPPIANS .1:6)
