Went To Church Sunday

Paul saw it a bit different.

1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thess 2:1-3

He wanted the Churches to teach salvation AND ALSO the post trib rapture. If you taught something else he said you were deceived.

Several young ladies seem to have went up front I assume to pray the prayer of repentance. There was a tongues and interpretation which I sensed to be of the Lord calling the people to get out of the building and onto the streets!

At the end of this great time the Pastor said paraphrasing:



To which I thought

Mike I feel your pain,

But I just wonder what would have been?
IF that Canaanite woman would have worn her feelings on her shoulders the day she had a need.

Matthew 15:22-
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
28. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Submission to a man is very hard for women especially when they are mistreated. She didn't eat the meat and throw away the bones. She excepted all of what he saidand Somehow she showed faith in him by being humble and receiving the mistreatment, accepting who she was and received her miracle.

Truly,

I thank you for your attempt to counsel me. If you think this is about "feelings" I dont hardly know how to respond. I truly do have a problem with submitting to men that Jesus warns me not to be deceived by. How about you?

This is one of my favorite stories of the bible.
