I thank those of you whom have email me for prayer request. I have responded to each one as well as continue prayer. I am back! I have restarted the youth outreach Bible ministry in Chicago Heights, Illinois whereby I reside. The ministry has been growing. To my surprise, more male youth have been attending…
The Ocean
Suddenly, I awaken to find myself floating in a mass of water. Paralyzed with fear, I tilt my head to the left and saw water. I tilt my head to the right and saw water. I look straight up and saw the sky. Questions speeds through my thoughts trying to understand how I got to this place. Why am I here in the ocean?
10 Steps to Receive Answers to your Prayers of Faith
Many times, I literally did not know how I was going to make it. There were times when I literally thought that I was losing my mind. I did not know how I was going to make it through the pressure of waiting and constantly praying through the fears and mix emotions. I realize that as a human being, I am not as strong as I pretend to be. The trials and tribulations of life knocked me into the reality of my human inability. It caused to question why I even exist.
That question compels you to take a long look in the mirror at your existence, so long that sometimes even your beliefs begin to feel like a fraud. I thought I had faith. I thought I was a strong Christian. I thought.
It is not until you go through various trials and tribulations that you begin to understand you have absolutely no control of the outcomes in life.
What Excuse Will You Give God?
On Sunday, May 2, 2010, I received a phone call from a church friend from my formal church informing me that one of the youth, now an adult, was kill and that the funeral is going to be held on Monday, May 3, 2010.
I kept wondering what excuses Pool will give to God when God calls Pool to give an account for his’ actions before he is sentence to eternal damnation.
I kept wondering did Pool repent from his’ sins so his’ soul was saved.
Ministers in Training?
What is up with this “Minister in Training” thing?
First, let me tell you. I do not like the term “Minister in Training.” Each one of us will always be in “training” until we die. We should always be learning something – growing somewhere within ourselves. I feel that no other faith leader, pastor, elder, or whoever, in a religious capacity, has a right to determine the level of “training” within the Body of Christ. It is THE HOLY SPIRIT’S JOB and not theirs. Now, if the “leaders” are speaking solely of the work within their church walls, I can get with it, but not when it comes to the entire Body of Christ – The Church.
