As I read Daddyโs notes and study them, my heart breaks. ๐ The Lord was speaking to my dad about this years before the enemy came in and stole so much.
I honestly believe disappointment and frustration opened the door to disobedience, and disobedience led to the fall. I say that because I saw it happen in my own life. Oh, how I wish I had made different choices. And oh, how thankful I am for the mercy and grace God has shown me. ๐๐ญโค๏ธ
The enemy would love to tear down your ministry. When a shepherd falls, the sheep feel it too. ๐๐ I watched people I had led crumble. I saw my own children begin to have doubts about God. If I could go back and erase the hurt, I would.
But when this prodigal daughter ran home, a loving Father welcomed me with open arms. ๐ก๐ค๐ Iโll never stop thanking Him for that.
๐ Church, open your Bible and weigh what you hear against the Word of God. ๐
Sheep trust their shepherd, and that trust carries responsibility. I believe weโre seeing what happens when people put a leaderโs words above Godโs truth. If what youโre being taught doesnโt line up with Scripture, ask yourself honestly, โWhy am I still sitting under this teaching?โ ๐
And to every pastor, preacher, teacher, deacon, and leader serving in the church, guard your heart and stay in the Word. ๐ก๏ธ๐ What happens in your walk with God reaches the people you serve.
Last night my heart was stirred. I miss being in full-time ministry. I miss being connected with people on that level. I stood there and said, โGod, Iโm giving You me.โ ๐๐ฅ
๐ Iโll do what You ask me to do.โจ๐ฃ Iโll go where You send me.โจ๐ค Iโm making myself available to You again.
The enemy can no longer keep me from what God has called me to do. Shame and guilt have no hold on me. โ๏ธโ๐ฅ๐
๐ John 10:10 (KJV)
โThe thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.โ
