| A Note To My Church Family |
|
| |
I woke up this morning with a though on my mind, which I have decided to share with those I consider now my Spiritual family. I take this site as a tool to express myself in the way I see life as the days unfold. Each day brings for me different venues. Yesterday, for instance, I spent the day on this site reading blogs and comments. I cried and laughed and had a wonderful time. I was invited to go to a picnic and decided to remain at home by myself because I was crying so hard at times, the tears just would not stop for me. Many times my tears are prayers and I allow the Holy Spirit to use me to His full advantage. (my mother's nickname for me was mother's sorrow, because all I did was cry) and perhaps for this reason I was born to bear a burden for the nations. I see and discern things in the Spiritual realm and at times try to express myself to share my thoughts with others and found out that not many welcome my thoughts. Therefore, it is at times very difficult for me to relate to others, even my own family, and I have been trying to discern when I should share, what I should share and how I should share it. I have so much going on in my mind at times, that sometimes I feel like I would just burst open. Through blogs and comments on this site (like no other site I have ever been on), I have been learning from others and is able to free up some of my thoughts. Perhaps at times, I may not seem very loving in my responses because I am very passionate about that particular issue and see it differently from a defensive position in the Spiritual realm and want others to see it like I see it, because it could be a warning for us all or just that individual, and for that I must stop here and ask forgiveness from anyone I have offended. I am still in the learning process and thank God for people like Joey who will chastise when they need to in a loving way.
There were times when I had also gotten discouraged because of not receiving comments to my blogs,(the reading score will tell me how many people read the blog), and felt I should just pack up and leave. I am sure many of you felt this way too at times. Yesterday was such a day for me. However, as I reflected on the many true friends that I have met on this site and no matter what we are all going through, we have seemed to come away loving each other, at least from my end. I have not personally met any of you and one day I would like to meet all of you in one setting. We may have to hire a whole cruise ship (smile). I know the body of Christ will go through persecution, and most of that persecution comes from our own families, which can be excruciatingly painful, and sometimes this site is used as an outlet to let out frustrations, and I have seen such love in comments (some of the love given was tough (smile) but it was agape' love anyway. I believe that is what true Christianity is all about. Being free to express oneself and being surrounded with true believers who will not leave you out in the fray. I have met many physically sick and dying Spiritual warriors on this battlefield and we need to reach out and bind up their wounds. I have been put in seclusion by the Holy Spirit for many years and have no physical friends that I can reach out to when I am in the battles, which is okay, because I have learned that I cannot hear the instructions from my master unless I am in total quiet, and in this period of the era we are living in, this is totally needed. I am sure many of you have found yourself in this situation. Father wants our full attention. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! This time of the era is not Church as usual as I am sure many of you have already found out. There has been a shifting and separating and you must hear from the Holy Spirit, otherwise you may get caught up in the Frey of unrighteousness that when the alarm is sounded, and the real shaking begins, it will first begin at the houses of God. Not one individual will be exempt. This site is being used as a training ground. I call it Spiritual boot-camp. I kept hearing the cliche' (if you can't cook, get out of the kitchen). I heard this over and over in my mind yesterday, and knew that Father was speaking about what is going on the the Spirit. I know something is about to explode (He does not give me everything at once). I have had dreams and visions and it is not pretty. Everyone who is not filled with the Holy Spirit will not be able to contain. I am only saying this to let you all know how I stand in my Spiritual walk and what I think about this site. I am very grateful for those who operate behind this great site and pray that Father will give them the wisdom and Spiritual incite to look way beyond cyberspace and into the throne room for instructions directly from the Creator of this beautiful universe.
With lots of loving thoughts to all myChurch friends. Sister Marcia |

[star!] | Sister Marcia, it sounds to me as if you are a female type of Jeremiah (the weeping prophet/intercessor). Mighty calling. I suppose you relate to him, well, and he was persecuted, hated, etc. etc. as well by his own (hmmm...so was Jesus!). Anyways, blessings, sis. xoxo |

My friend Lara, what incite! You are so correct! It is a very sad and lonely walk, not only for me but for everyone who will desire more and more of Him. I know you are willing to go there also my friend. In time He will tell you how and when. I love you! Hold on tight! |

[star!] | A good word Marcia, and I'm glad to see that you comforted yourself in the Lord. Frustration is always a sure indication that we have lost focus on Him and have put it upon circumstances. Just as with you, this is something that we all go through; it is the process that purifies our trust in Him. For surely we don't post primarily to receive feedback but because his Spirit has given us the word to post and we have peace to do so, and no peace to remain silent. :-) What's a love slave of the Lord to do? LOL! :-)
If we don't hear him speaking what can we write? What good would it accomplish? If we do hear him speaking then how can we not write? How can it not accomplish the good that He intends it to? The sower sows the word; the seed is good, but the ground varies. We only have to please him and Father, and that alone, we find, pleases us.
Yes, a great storm is coming and we do need to make sure the foundation of our lives is built upon his word [Logos and Rhema]; for the storm is coming on all and it's difficult, if not impossible, to try and build a foundation in the midst of a storm. But even then, if the house we have built on a wrong foundation is destroyed...we may still find mercy to start building on the good one! God has shut all up in disobedience that He may show mercy to all [Romans 11:32].
Blessings! Craig |

[star!] | Thanks for the Note dear sister and I love the way that you addressed it to My Church Family... Every family has some type of issues, but every family should have love one for another... We need to be there for each other to edify, exhort, and instruct - Amen? Sometime you may not get together for awhile, but you ARE STILL family... PTL! And it is good to know that they are available when you touch base with them now and then...
Blessings In Him... :o) Herman |

My dear sweet Terry,
Thank you for your encouraging words.
I know you are an overcomer because you have encouraged yourself in the Lord. I have seen you on here 3:00 am in the morning. I was there with you and others in Spirit as I was awakened by my Lord to usher in the morning. You are well loved on this site my friend and have touched many lives by your writings. It is amazing how Father uses one life to reach many as long as we allow Him. You are an encourager my friend and I thank Father that you are being used in this site to help us. I love you Terry and will continue to pray that Father gives you the desire of your heart as He said He will do through His Word. |

My friend Craig,
Thank you for the encouraging words of wisdom and the words of confirmation. May we all pass the various "pruning tests" that we all have to go through and make our Lord and Saviour, proud. I thank G-d for the men on myChurch, cause you guys have a way with words that makes me want to listen up. I have gleaned much from you my brother in Christ. You keep sending me back to the Word. I love it! See you around blogs my friend(smile).

Good morning my friend Mike,
Thank you for your words of encouragement. It is also great to have you as a friend. It takes a while to get to know someone in the family right? Everyone has something to offer as we all grow in the Lord and that is what I look for mostly. There are days when I have to just sit back and say Lord, what are you teaching me here? I have learned much from you Mike.
Thank you brother.
