Gossip?


Today, was my first time ever attending church, and it was amazing! I met brilliant people there. As a prophetic Christian, I could feel the energy of certain people. It was the most curious thing I've ever encountered. I believe I felt the anointing and presence of God around certain people, when I shook their hands, I could know things about them that I didn't know before we touched. The energy coming off of the two preachers was fascinating. 

I could also feel the energy of people who wanted to avoid me, see I live in a small town, in a small town people talk. I've been judged so much that it doesn't even bother me anymore. Hence the reason I came to church, to meet like minded people. Sometimes you just have to stick to the people whose energy is lining up with yours on a spiritual level. Because if you don't the enemy will work through others to tear you down. 


What does God think about Gossip?

A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends.

Proverb 16:25

God doesn't want us gossiping let alone judging one another. He told us "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:31). He wants us to all be united as one. But gossip and slander get in the way of us connecting as a whole. When we are all united we become powerful and the enemy doesn't want that so he whispers on our shoulder, "It's okay, You can talk bad about them. They aren't a good person anyways." We give in to this temptation that causes strife and barriers around other people. God wants us to all get along in harmony with one another. 

The answer? We need to be more like Jesus. That's obvious, To be more "Christ Like" and evolve into better people. Grow in our faith, grow in the word of God, mature in your relationship with him. You will find more serenity, peace, perseverance, patience, love, empathy and wisdom. You will wish you had done it sooner. And as time passes it will just grow deeper and deeper. Its an experience that we should be grateful we get the chance to have. And we should love others the same way we love God. 

We love because he first loved us.

John 4:19

Forgiveness & Faith

  Why I am Christian               I became Christian because at first I believed it was a second chance at life. I had no idea how much I'd learn and grow on this journey and there is still an extensive amount to learn. Like everyone, I've made mistakes. But mine were eating me alive. I couldn't function properly because of regret and guilt. It honestly took a lot of Bible study on the topic of forgiveness and love for me to overcome my pain that I was going through. It took me a long time to understand that God forgives ALL and forgives us no matter what we do. That's why I love Christianity.                We are about growth, love and forgiveness. Being a baby Christian I can say, it took me almost a year to understand that forgiving myself was essential to forgiving others. When I am in a constant battle with myself, I can't focus on forgiving or helping others. The turmoil takes over and its all I...

Alcohol Spiritual Connection

  Alcohol and Spiritual Connection Many, even religious, people consume alcohol without a second thought of what it is doing to them physically or spiritually. We drink socially, to relax, to have fun, but how does it effect our connection to the Holy Spirit? In my experience, as a recovering alcoholic, I've found that I hear God more clearly when I haven't partaken in drugs or alcohol, especially for a long period of time. In my opinion, staying away from alcohol brings you closer to God. Here is why: Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18 (NIV) I researched "Debauchery", it means to indulged in sexual acts, alcohol consumption, smoking and drug use. I'm sure we can all agree that drinking is a stepping stone to sinning. Not that drinking is a sin itself, but it leads us to do irrational and regretful things. I'm sure you can remember a time you woke up from a night of drinking and felt shame an...
