Blog posting, Sept 25, 2011

This week’s hot topic posting will be…“When you’re visiting churches, you should be looking for...”


MANY PEOPLE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CHURCH SPEND THEIR LIVES GOING FROM PLACE TO PLACE, LOOKING TO FIND ANSWERS TOWARDS HAVING A MORE SATISFYING SPIRITUAL LIFE. SOME ARE LOOKING FOR ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP THEM FIND SOLUTIONS FROM THEIR PROBLEMS. OTHERS ARE UNSATISFIED WITH THE WAY A FORMER CHURCH, DENOMINATION OR RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY TREATED THEM. MANY DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY’RE SEARCHING FOR.

WHATEVER THE REASON, WHEN IT’S TIME TO FIND A CHURCH HOME, THEY’RE THINGS YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR…

MORE THAN JUST THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING OR THE AGE OF THE STRUCTURE OR EVEN THE RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION, IF YOU’RE TRYING TO JOIN A LOCAL CHURCH, THE 1ST THING YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF IS THIS:  IF THE CONGREGATION YOU ARE VISITING TODAY IS A HEALTHY CHURCH OR IS IT A PLACE TO BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS …

ON TUESDAY, SEPT 27, I’LL TELL YOU THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HEALTHY CHURCH AND ONE THAT CAN BE MORE OF A MONSTER THAN THE LAST PLACE YOU LEFT…

ON WEDNESDAY, SEPT 29, WE’LL DISCUSS THE TYPES OF BENEFITS OF A HEALTHY CHURCH AND A NON-HEALTHY ONE…

ON FRIDAY, SEPT 31, WE’LL LOOK AT THE BEGINNINGS OF THE 1ST  EARLY CHURCH IN THE AGE OF THE APOSTLES, AND SEE WHAT THINGS THEY HAD IN COMMON WITH THE CHURCHES TODAY, AND EVEN SOME THINGS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT…

AFTER THAT I’LL SHARE THE ROLE OF THE CHURCH, WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT AND WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT…

AS ALWAYS, I’LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO ANY COMMENTS YOU HAVE THAT WE CAN DISCUSS…

SEE YOU THEN, AND TELL OTHERS!

IN HIS SERVICE,

AL

prelude to my autobiography/testimony

HERE’S WHAT I CALL A SPIRITUAL FORTUNE COOKIE: IT’S A PROVERB WRAPPED INSIDE A POETIC MESSAGE SIN BINDS BODIES AND BLINDS TRUTH, BEGUILES BELIEF, AND BETRAYS TRUST. SIN A SLITHERING SERPENT THAT SLIDES THROUGH YOUR SOUL AND ENTANGLES YOUR EMOTIONS. SIN IS A STRANGLING SPIRIT, A DEMONIC DECEPTION THAT CRUSHES YOUR CONSCIOUS CONTROL. SIN SEEMS COMFORTING LIKE BEING WRAPPED IN A WARM BLANKET, BUT IS REALLY A CONTROLLING CLOAK THAT CAPTURES YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. SIN IS A DEMONIC DECEPTION THAT MASTERS YOUR MIND AND MOTIVATES YOUR MOODS. RIGHTEOUSNESS DELIVERS FROM DEATH AND DESTROYS THE DECEIVER. RIGHTEOUSNESS LIBERATES FROM THE CAPTIVITY AND CONTROL OF THE POWERS OF PERDITION. RIGHTEOUSNESS VALIDATES VICTORY AND TEACHES TRUTHFULNESS AND TRUST. RIGHTEOUSNESS REDEEMS FROM THE CURSE AND REMOVES THE CANCEROUS CAUSE. RIGHTEOUSNESS REVEALS TRUTH AND TRIUMPHS OVER TORMENT. RIGHTEOUSNESS ILLUMINATES THE DARKNESSAND ENLIGHTENS THE DESPERATION. RIGHTEOUSNESS IS GOD CONSCIOUSNESS, IS MINDF...

HAVE YOU BEEN POISONED?

How you can tell when you’ve been poisoned . Your actions and attitudes are toxic ! Toxic thoughts lead to toxic actions. Toxic thinking poisons others around us. Eventually toxic thinking leads to death (dreams). Watch out that the toxics around you don’t get inside you . How do you counteract toxicity? Speaking, thinking and acting positive activates life in you, around you, and gives life (energy) to others.

THE VALUES OF SECOND-HAND REVELATION AND MINISTRY ASSOCIATIONS

Or another way of saying this... TO ALL THOSE “HATERS” OF MEGA-MINISTRY LEADERSHIP ;) We always need to constantly and consistently be receiving first-hand revelation from God. We all should also be developing a first-hand relationship with the LORD Himself. Both should first come by through reading and studying His Word. However, I’m also extremely thankful and grateful to God for the second hand revelation and ministry associations of 3 other ministers of the gospel. It was through them that I received a proper scriptural and spiritual foundational in my life and ministry. It was like attending Bible School. Those 3 people are: DR. CREFLO A. DOLLAR, JOYCE MEYER, and especially, DR. CHARLES STANLEY. When I first rededicated my life to Him and He baptized me in the Holy Ghost, His Spirit led me into a deeper understanding and relationship with Him. Then God did something that would be beneficial for me. God knew that I needed to be under some strong Biblical ministry leadership. He co...
