Healthy theology comes from seeing the character of God amidst a life that that gives every reason not to.
This broken woman came to know that God sees her & knows her, after a lifetime of being unseen & unknown.
Selah.
First person to give God a name in the Bible was a broken single mother who had been raped, abused, & left stranded in poverty.
She called God El Roi, “The God who sees me.”
This shows me that true theology & understanding of God isn’t produced through simply reading books.
In times of trouble we typically busy ourselves trying to improve the situation.
Scripture reminds us that true faith is found in the stillness. Stillness gives us the revelation that even when we are not at work, God still is.
Can somebody go and ask Cece Winans if she can pour some of that oil from Mary’s alabaster box into my gas tank🤏🏾?!
Gas is high, but I’m a believe that Jesus is higher 🤣
I think that God should start suing some of you preachers and prophets for defamation.
‘Cuz ain’t no way that my God told yall to say half of the stuff that yall say on these pulpits.
Just a reminder that if you’re reading this, it means that you’ve survived everything that you’ve been through.
You’re stronger than you give yourself credit for.
Maybe you’ve loved pieces of yourself because broken pieces was all that life left for you.
Heal so that you can love yourself whole and not in pieces.
If your “discernment” only tells you things that help you identify “haters” and “monitoring spirits”, then I must inform you that your discernment is not from the Holy Spirit, it’s from a broken spirit.
Discernment does more than just identify people as a problem.
Selah
Being “nice” isn’t a fruit of the spirit.
Sometimes you gotta be Christ-like and make a scene. Make sure to crack a whip and turn over some tables at some point in your Christianity.
For those grew up in families where you didn’t experience being loved or liked.
Heal, so that as an adult being loved or admired doesn’t feel like a scam.
Unpopular opinion…
But you wouldn’t struggle with lust so much if you’d open yourself up to emotional vulnerability and deep relational connection.
Lust is always the cheap version of love.
