| We Were Disappointed - But there was a Reason |
Disappointments are Often for
a Good Reason
Our Pastor asked my husband
to teach a Sunday morning class on “Discovering Who You Are in Christ.” The Pastor requested an outline prior to
allowing my husband to teach his lessons.
My husband and I had attended
some classes held by Dr. Charles Solomon, where he taught on the “Exchanged
Life.” Dr. Solomon illustrated with
diagrams that we were first “IN Adam,” and needed to be translated into the Kingdom of God
My husband had decided to
present the Old man with his emotional feelings of rejection first, and lead up
to the New Man who is “Accepted in the Beloved.” The Pastor was not sure he liked this
approach and made it very clear to my husband that he felt this was a negative
view.
My husband told me God revealed
to him, that something else was going on, and it was time for us to back out,
and allow the Pastor to teach the class the way he wanted to by using some
materials that we did not adhere to.
When the Holy Spirit speaks, it is time to move on.
We ended up paying a visit to
the Pastor at his home and telling him that next Sunday would be our last
Sunday.
We parted friends, and the
Pastor told us that the door swings both ways, and we were always welcomed
back.
Later we heard that the
church closed down because of some sort of scandal.
Praise God, we were not a
part of it, and the Lord protected us, because we listened to the inward
witness.
Ephesians 1:6 To the
praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the
beloved.
Ephesians 5:8 For you were
sometimes darkness, but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of
light:

This could be my story. I have been an active member of 3 churches where the pastors had affairs. Our authority figures have feet of clay and it hurts others. Fortunately all 3 marriages were saved. You and your man are perceptive and wise and we learn so much from you. Thank you for hosting us!
ReplyDeleteHello Hazel, thank you for the linkup today.
ReplyDeleteYour message today is deep. I love that your husband heard from God and obeyed too.
God Bless
Wow, Hazel. God is faithful and men who are leaders in the church are not the only ones who hear from Him. Thanks.

Dear Hazel,
ReplyDeleteIt is always best to listen to the still, small voice that guides, protects and reveals His truth> Wonderful testimony! Thanks for hosting & God bless,
Laurie
Praise the Lord that He has given us the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth. I have often called that sense of discernment that He brings as the *fur raising up on my back*. Sometimes you just get that feeling that things aren't right. And if we obey that still, small voice - we are often saved from terrible circumstances. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteGOD BLESS!
