GOD'S WORD HAS NOT CHANGED

 

I realize that when I am reading Scripture what is going on in my life influences what I see in the Bible. There really is no new revelation when a person reads Scripture, we either develop a better understanding or create a  perverted perspective. 

1 CORINTHIANS 2:15-16 KING JAMES VERSION 

15  But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 

16  For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 

GALATIANS 5:16-17 KING JAMES VERSION 

16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 

17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 

When I read Scripture I try to put my flesh aside; when I develop an understanding I have to make sure my fleshly thinking is not interfering with spiritual understanding. Praying before, during and after I read Scripture is very important.  

Romans 8:9 (KJV) 

9  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 

I am currently reading the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible. As I indicated on my post “BECOMING A TITUS WOMAN” (January 24,2023), I received a better understanding of the woman coming out of man later I had a better understanding of Cain and Ables’ offerings. I am taken aback; stunned at the words I am reading, this was not taught to me in all the years of Bible teaching or Bible study.  

Just like graduating from an  Ivy League school no longer carries the prestige it once did, far to many churches today have gotten away from preaching what is written in Scripture.

1 THESSALONIANS 2:3-6 KING JAMES VERSION 

3  For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: 

4  But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 

5  For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: 

6  Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 

Many churches today focus on pleasing men. So many churches have “a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:” of which Scriptures tells us “from such turn away.” (2 Timothy 3:5 KJV) This is why I am struggling to find a church home, a place to hear the word, grow in the word and serve. 

 GENESIS 9:13-15 ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION

13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

When you see a rainbow remember it belongs to God, it is a remembrance to Him of His promise to us. And, the rainbow is a reminder to us of His word not mains opinions or declarations. Many churches are now teaching other doctrine- stay away from such false teachings. Again I write:  “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” (2 TIMOTHY 3:5 KING JAMES VERSION}

I am editing this writing Wednesday June 28, 2023, during a month in which Satan and his followers glorify behavior the Word speaks against. There are buildings, I will not call it a church, that facilitate the perverting of the rainbow and it’s leaders who have denied God’s purpose for the man and the woman. Again: “from such  turn away.” I have made it to the book of Leviticus and though I am not a fan of the ESV Bible I can tell you God’s word has not change.

WHAT TYPE OF MAN DO YOU NOT WANT

 

A question came up on Social Media today for women: Do you like for the man to open the door for you? Quite a few women said “no”.  I shared an post that included the statement, men should take a woman to church not the club; a woman stated she did not want to go to church with as a date. My question: What type of man do women want?

When I listen to women and read their post I develop an understanding why so many women have bad relationships. Many women don’t know what they want in a man. Christian women do not know what they want in a man.

I see many single women who celebrate their ability to sleep with as many men as they choose because of their independence. The world encourages women to: be all you can be, thus women becomes CEO’s of their own companies, work very hard and accumulate a lot of stuff. Women have achieved success on their own thus they do not need a man to open a door for them or even take them to church, they are the Pastor of the church! It seems, these women only need a man for one thing, and then there are those women who allow other women to do that! (SMH!)

In 2023 their are men with dresses on who will allow the “man” to open the door for him with his weave, make-up, and dress on. In 2023 their are men with dresses on who will stay home and prepare meals, clean the house, take care of children that the other men has custody of, from his first marriage because she thought he was the better parent and she wanted to be the queen that she dreamed of being, and go to church (where the church leader may be a woman married to a woman or a man in a dress, or a church leader who will join two men or two women together in “union”). Men is dresses know what type of man they want.

• And, these men in dresses also get the jobs women wanted and thought they would get because of the Equal Rights Amendment. 
• And, these men in dresses also win medals in women’s sports because they wear dresses (today’s women prefer yoga pants) and are very good at make-up application. 
• And, these men in dresses are teaching boys how to wear dresses. I wonder how many men in Congress like men in dresses? (Just a thought???????)

For the record, the MEN in my life open the door for me, pay the tab wherever we go and have no problem taking me to church.  Yes I can do it myself, I don’t have to prove anything to anyone but I do have to please God. 

Titus 2:3-5 (KJV) 

3  The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 

4  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 

5  To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

BEGINNING TO BE ME

 

I don’t know if I have found my voice or if my voice has developed over the years, I think it is the latter. I have the same desires today as I did at 20; I love the same activities today as I did at forty, the difference is I feel free to do it my way.

I cannot remember a time in my life in which people wanted me to do things a different way. People have always liked me, accept for the ones that didn’t, they just wanted me to be more like them. I am different, I have always been different and I don’t want to change.

Today, maybe it was yesterday, or perhaps it was last month I don’t know, but, I am beginning to be me. I am beginning to be more of me and there will be people who will not like it. The main thing about beginning to be me is knowing that I just won’t get it right- most of the time.

I am OK with not being perfect just as long as I have perfect love. I love writing, sewing, and helping the people I love and I get a kick out of helping strangers. 

I love God. This statement deserves its’ own sentence and paragraph because it is the foundation of my beginning. For years I was an undercover God only person but now it is my badge of honor and I look forward to people rejecting me because I have begun to be bold about who I am.

STILL LEARNING

 

I cannot teach people who do not want to learn from me and I cannot learn from people I do not respect. Is this the truth? Or, is the real problem, you, I don’t want to learn. 

There are many things we want to do and we want to do it perfectly the first time. This is the problem, we want instant gratification. That is not how life works; we learn the alphabet before we learn to write. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV) 

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 

I must, we must learn how to learn. 

Proverbs 4:7 (KJV) 

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 

I have determined within myself to slow down and learn. It is not easy because at 63 I realize how much time has already gone by. Young people think they have plenty of time to make mistakes.

Matthew 25:13 (KJV) 

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. 

Three things that I remember: 

• My son died at the age of 28
• My mother died at the age of 70
• Jesus is coming and I don’t know when.

Whatever God has purposed me to do I must do it with excellence not in a hurry.
