Both the novice and the veteran (me) learned how to live together without killing each other. As humorous as that may sound, it is the substantial Truth of the matter. Novice and veteran growing together under the same roof meant understanding the needs, fears, achievements, setbacks, and setups that affected each other. Most of the time, the two personalities got along pretty good; however, there were also many days they would challenge each other. Yes, indeed, the only freedom and peace came during the time of being caught up in the Spirit of prayer, praise, studying, mediations, and anything else that was called "revival." The job description and the Ecclesiastical environment continued to push both the novice and the veteran towards "just keepin it movin, cause it will all come together someday." When the heart and Spirit are so determined to do the Will of God, of course, you just keep it moving. In keeping the move going, the two characters
within – kept the focus on being a blessing to others.
That being said, for years, I assumed I was exempt from those blessings and just focused on others. Regardless of that foolish assumption, dissecting and discerning the passages of scriptures to teach and preach still encouraged my heart. I knew all too well how the Grace of God rested on me to unfold the love, compassion, mysteries, and Truth's from those sixty-six books in the Bible. The stories of pain and tenderness, defeat and victories, greed and giving, were realities in our everyday world. The transformations and rebelliousness written in the Bible over those years were not just historical events. We clearly understood that the daily challenges we faced were written in between
Genesis and Revelation for our examination and good will too.
With a humbleness, I would love to have the opportunities to thank every person who is still praying me through on this journey! Scores of people I ministered to and ministered with both locally and intercontinental also had "A message from the heart" of God to share with me. The sharing and the caring birthed understanding, wisdom, the fruit of the Spirit, relationship, as well as Agape love. The sharing and the caring birthed misunderstandings, misleadings, misgivings, and misuse. How on earth is that such a Blessing? Life happens! Well, that takes me back to one of the most profound Truths I've received, please keep reading, don't stop now. The following
scripture speaks on my behalf:
Romans 8:28 (KJV)
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the
called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28 (AMP) And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those
who are called according to His plan
and
purpose.
Romans 8:28 (NIV) And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love
him, who
have been called according to his purpose.
Studying, inquiring, and seeking revelations to bless others was a labor of love and anxiety; I always approached the Throne of Grace on behalf of the congregation (never for myself (foolish me)). Through that scripture, I learned that The Call of God – The Call from God is a combination of what His plan is for our lives. Either way, it’s kind of confusing until you begin to develop that
