My focus for a while has been on the Church. It's been a tough journey cause they aren't easy to speak to always. Keeping faith God will move. Just not gonna lie it can get lonely and sad. So many want to put Jesus second or are still in fear to fully speak his name to the world.
Please keep me in your prayers family. Love you all
Happy to pray for you fren!
I’m standing right there with you! God has given me the greatest burden for the church and has me interceding and warring for them daily. He has me serving (volunteering) on the staff at a sleepy, lukewarm church but alongside a pastor who is now on fire and willing to follow God anywhere. I used to be one of them - asleep, lukewarm, didn’t believe in the gifts of the Spirit today. But God has been giving me prophetic insights for the church and I’m so grateful for a pastor who knows the Holy Spirit and wants to follow and obey His leading. I know that He will wake this church up and turn it around for His glory. It’s hard as we wait for God to move. I’m eager to see us move into a more collaborative mentality as well rather than the competitive/isolationist/divisive way that so many churches operate. This is also where some of the fiercest persecution comes - from those influenced by religion and the religious spirit. What a battle! It’s no different than what Jesus faced in His time on earth. Jesus persevered for the joy set before Him and we do the same! He is leading us into victory!! Locking arms and standing firm right there with you!!
WOW fren I can't thank you enough for this response. Truly it helped lift my soul. Yeah it's been a tough journey but I have faith that God will continue to move mountains. I am also finding that the chaos and turmoil is awakeing something within me that is giving me a boldness to speak up about the Truths Jesus has revealed to me. I am learning to speak truth...take a hit and keep on loving. I find my gifts are appreciated until it's directed at them...then I have to see the convicted heart come out and see how they process that. Some in my church call me the sheepdog or cheerleader yet I just like being what Jesus needs me to be
Thanks again for responding. Maybe we can PM each other and keep in touch and pray and share thoughts. No pressure just wanted you to know if you are willing I would love to keep talking...even if it's just here on this post OR something like texting or calling. Your choice. God bless fren. Love you
I am so sorry for not responding to this sooner!! I kept trying to figure out how to send a private message and then got distracted and never got back to you! If you could help me figure out how to connect with you! I hope you see this message… Praying for you!!!
