I know all the things that people say about my pastor but he always gives me exactly what I need to continue my walk her on earth with my head held high and my dignity in tact. His sermon today meant a lot to me so I decided to share a synopsis of his sermon.
Today pastor talked about ‘How to live for God, How to have Rest, How to apply faith and How the Holy Spirit Works.’ He explained that the only way to prevent sin from having dominion over you is to stay strong and grow in the lord and live according to his word. He made it clear that simply knowing the word does not get you into heaven “Heaven is not an Automatic Truth!” You have to protect your heart, your soul and your body from working by feelings…because feelings are easily tied to sin. Without righteous morals we will live like heathens…and morals can only come from the fear of God.
My pastor has this uncanny way of preaching about whatever it is I may be going through at any given Sunday. It's as if he peeks into my life…sees my past, predicts my future and tries to stop me from doing anything that will deter me from the path of righteousness.
The thing that stood out the most to me today was when Pastor was talking about how sometimes we are so busy trying to tell people the right things to do, that we are perceived in a way that’s not like God. Not because we don’t mean well, but because these people are unevenly yoked so they do not understand our perspective of things. Sometimes people have a tendency to overlook your heart and not understand that you’re coming from a place of love.
“When your test is at its worse, just sit down! No running around, fussing, cussing and crying”
“Don’t allow your feelings to dictate your faith”
“Don’t allow anything or anyone to contaminate your Faith!”
“Stay plugged into the word, to prevent the devil from plugging in to you!”
