Grrr

Ok so that may sound stupid but I am getting so pissed off at Satan.  Normally he just gets on my nerves and bugs me but right now I am at this point where I am just pissed.  That may sound weird or crazy but I want to take Satan outside and throw down.  Why have I moved to this point you may ask?  I have been hearing so many of my sisters in the Lord and other people who are being fed this bunch of lies and are falling for it.  I am sick of it!!!!!!  I can not handle all of this crazy stuff with people that believe these lies that do not make any logic.  Not pretty enough or good enough or smart or loved or wanted.  So just beware, the fire is already in my eyes and I am already causing some damage but I am just warming up....

Being Church

Last night Pastor Carl was speaking at Beyond Sunday, for those who do not know he is the founding director of Master's Commission Fresno.  He is not there anymore and teh program has since changed its name to Mission California.  anyways back to my point, He was talking about being the church and how important it is to be the church.  I have been thinking about this fo awhile and some of the things he said really struck a chord in my spirit.  He stated that planting church means saying that you are not going to bail.  That you will be in it with the person till the end.  That does not always mean forever, but it means for the time that it is appointed for them to be in your life and you in theirs.  There are some people tat you will be with and connected with forever.  There are others for a short time, maybe a day, a week, a month and so on.  This was interesting because it seems like this has been a theme that God has been speaking to me and to other people.  It seems to me that the church had had this habit of giving up o people with the slightest bit of trouble and that is not what God intended.  Just a rant...    

Adoption

So on Saturday I was at a prayer meeting and one of the people said that we need to be walking in the spirit of adoption and acting as mothers and fathers instead so much of preachers and teachers.  Immediately the Lord quickened me to remember what I always tell my children on my caseload and their families.  Adoption is forever.  Are we willing to make that kind of commitment to people.    Are we willing t say I am going to be by your side forever.  Are we willing to say that even when I don't like what you are telling me I am going to be by your side and I am going to still love you?  What if the church did make these kinds of commitment?  What if the church did stand y people even when they were doing dumb things and said I still love you?  Things could get crazy....

Rain!!!

So today we went to this event in Walnut called Outcry to pray for Calfornia and all the stuf going on here.  In the process of driving up the hill to Beaumont to meet the people I was going the sky was really cloudy and I said It is going to rain hard.  Now at the time I was kinda thinking spiritual and kinda thinking literally.  So as I am driving out with my friends in my car it starts to sprinkle and i thought, Good some rain I'm not crazy.  Then as we get out there it is raining harder, more steady and I continue thinking it was just a literal thing.  Then something crazy happens in church, we are in there and all of a sudden it sounds like the heavens opened up and there was a downpour outside.  This continued for awhile, so me being someone that loves to play in the rain decided I was going outside to see if it was still pouring.  I go outside and it is not raining, not at all, in fact the sun had come out and we had been inside long enough that the ground was dry.  At that time my spirit was quickened, and kinda gave me this see I told you it was spiritual.  I then realized that God is about to open up the heavens and downpour on us, and it is up to us what we get, blessings or punishment.  Just made me think and cry out more for the people...
