I have always loved authenticity! The originality of a thing is much more valuable to me than any copy or made to form. I often struggle, when I do not see this in Christianity. Not growing up in church and no one around me being "saved" I always saw the truth of a person. If a brotha was a hustler, he hustled no matter who's was around. If a sista was a hoe, she was a hoe and she did not care rather you knew it or not. The people around them were okay with it because you knew it was their truths. You just left the money at home and kept the hoe away from you man.
When I am around Christians I can't always tell who they are, which is the total opposite of what Jesus died for. How did you get delivered, healed, and set free if you are always pretending to be "perfect". I am not offended by my fellow saints sins and really don't care if they are offended by mine. We are not to judge but to pray for one another.
It is easier to pray and witness to the unsaved because we see their sins but Christians are not that free. We bind each other with crooked smiles and cold eyes attempting to point out each other's wrongs so we look right. Let's do each other a favor as we try to walk together with Christ in love... Set each other free so we can be authentic.
Rhema Word 2.0 would like to thank Valley Kingdom Ministries International Children's Church Pastor Sabrina Williams for an awesome teaching. Rhema Word 2.0 ask God to continue to bless the Children's Ministry and this strong woman of God.
I just read it and shared it on my page. I soo agree. We all have issues and struggles but because of religious folks we tend to not feel like we can be real and honest with everybody. Not realizing our struggle is someone else's struggle and we need each other to get through it. Most times I know I have felt and seen others that cannot share with everybody because you simply don't trust their intentions.
