God's Creative Ministry

This is for the creators out there who feel trapped in church.  Sometimes you feel this way because your gits are being prostituted and you are in a place where you are not able to create and expand.  This is when you know that it is time to push beyond where you are even if that means leaving a familiar place to tread on unfamiliar ground.  We are going to talk today about God's Creative ministry and how we can operate in what God has already ordained us to do.

God’s Creative Ministry is tailored towards those who have creative gifts that are sometimes ignored or less emphasis is placed on them.  I think that most of these gifts are equally important.  What are some of these gifts?  The bible in Exodus talks about some of them.  If these gifts and talents were brought more to the light, then more people would be more likely to walk in their calling. 

The body needs all of these talents, not just preaching, singing, and prophesying.  We need the gifts of administration, organization, hospitality, artistry, and the list goes on and on.  If people knew that they could use these gifts in the body of Christ, more people would, instead of using them for the world.

I want to talk about why some people won’t come to church and why some preachers won’t preach the truth.  Some people, after coming out of bondage, are afraid of being put back into bondage by the church.  Instead of teaching about the Holy Spirit, we often times try to play His part.  It is not our job to condemn people or to scare people straight.

However it is our duty to teach about the Holy Spirit according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  I remember there would be times in church when the teachers and preachers would constantly preach condemnation.  They would scream and shout “Holiness or Hell”.  Yet many fail to interpret the meaning of Holiness.  It was thrown around like a cliche instead of a way of life.

I would often ask myself what is true holiness?  Being that the same people that were shouting it were liars, hatemongers, and gossips, not to mention very seldom demonstrating fruits of the spirit.  You know love, kindness, humility, etc.  It was taught but not often manifested.  That brought me to the conclusion that people who live decent lives and have given their lives to the Lord, decide to stay home instead.  It seems like when they come into the church, they are made to feel bad or not in right standing with God.

In reality, you don’t know where that person is with God.  You don’t even know what kind of assignment that person has.  Everyone’s call is not in the physical building.  Some people, if not most, are called to the market place.

Lord, I thank you for allowing me to grow up in you. I thank you for my days living as a babe. I thank you that you brought me to maturity and a greater depth of spirituality. I thank you that you increase my knowledge in my wisdom so that I may serve you with my lips and with the actions of my labor. I thank you for the mate that you bring to me and that he is welcoming you with the wisdom and knowledge that you have given him as well.  Then he would spend the rest of his days maturing. As mates, we both would be able to speak to other couples and to the nations, that this is a world that is filled with immortality and uncleanness concerning sexuality, marriage and relationships. I thank you that you have taught us to teach marital principles as you give us the guidance and a leading that we desire.  With this I thank you and I give the praise, the glory, and the honor. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

15 days in...

Yep, that's right we are 15 day in and I have already invested in the future!  This one will be short and semi-sweet :) For those of you givers out there (me) it is now time for you to get ready to receive! I have been studying Joel 2:21 it talks about how God will restore the years that you have lost.  I don't know about you but on my journey I have lost some things that I would like back, and one of those things was my youth.  For Some of you, things have been stolen from you like your time, youth, money, dreams and even your ambition.

You have been totally drained and frustrated with yourself and with life.  Life is not as easy as people think because sometimes itis just so hard to figure out.  But what I am learning is that no matter what happens, if you put your faith in God and trust Him; than there is no doubt that things will work out the way that they were supposed to.  We are 15 days into the new year but it is not about another year but yet life itself and as we know it.  You see, God does not work  a time table He works in eternity.  So what was, what is and whats to come is already done in His eyes. 

I believe we are just riding the clock.   Many people believe in different things like choices and opportunities.  If you make the right choices you will do great but if you make the wrong choices you will do bad?  Well I don't know about this because how many people made good choices and still turned out with bad results?  Verses people who didn't make all the right decisions but they turned out okay?  I don't believe in any of that any more.  Because if you spend your whole life trying to be right then you could end up spending precious time consumed with misery and grief trying to be perfect when perfection from a non-perfect human being just isn't possible. 


So in short you will spend your life trying to do the impossible instead of enjoying life with all of it's ups and downs joys and splendors.   I said I would be short lol!  So relax enjoy this year and we will continue this conversation next time.

Not for Individual Sale

This year I would like to leave you all with this thought because I am starting my Empowerment Blogs at the top of the year.  Now that you know what the problems are it's high time for us to fix them instead of just talking about them.  I hope you were educated this year or either affirmed on some things you already new.  Now is the time for us to take Pharaoh and his army down and let arise a Jesus people so that we may be ready for Christ return.  FORWARD, MARCH!

P.S In the new year please subscribe to this blog thanks!

Not For Individual Sale

Have you ever bought a prepackaged product of something on the bottom of the individual product it had a label that said "not for individual sale"?     Well one of the reason the company puts that label on there is because there have given the suppler the whole sale price so that they may sale the product to the consumer at retail price.  If the supplier sales the individual product outside of the package for full price than that is considered to be a rip-off and it's also fraud. Well in the church this happens all the time.  Tithes and offerings are supposed to keep the church functioning which should allow it to equip people to do the work of the lord. But what ends up happening instead is the tithes and offerings get used to finance the pastors ego instead of the needs of the people.  The people are constantly served regurgitated information and information that was not intended for individual sale. Let me break that down.  The church should be like school an institution of learning.  One should look to gain enough knowledge in order to be effective in whatever God has called them to do. And upon attending one should expect to graduate with something that they can take to the world and make an impact. But instead of this happening people in church end up staying in the same place far to long with little to no improvement and as time goes on all the church does is keep up with the charade of foolishness while the people of God lack in productivity. What sparked this blog was when I seen a church conference itinerary.  The conference was $150.00 yep that right $150!  The price was not as disturbing as the fact that they would be selling information that should be given for FREE at regular church service and not asking people after travel and hotel of course to spend around $500.00 or so.  This is high way robbery at its finest!   I firmly believe that instead of bible studies being filled with stories of people that lived in another dispensation of time in whom often times we cannot even relate to it should be filled with current day successors who have mastered success in our era.  Not to say that biblical characters cannot be used for examples they can they just need to be pared with current day leaders that God is using.  Bible studies should be theory and practical meaning after knowledge has been given then hands on need be applied which is wisdom. Sunday mornings should be a celebration and a day of rest while the rest of the week should be application.  My point is to drive this home that they are far to many faithful people in ministry suffering and waiting on God.  We are to rest in what God has already done.  Therefore if you have homeowners in the church then they should be teaching renters how to buy, business owners teaching aspiring entrepreneurs, wives teaching single women, strong men teaching the young men, the old teaching the young and so on.  But this should come with the package and not for individual sale. You don't have to charge people to teach them how to be a success in the kingdom of God because that in itself is what church is for.  But the greedy have found a way to capitalize off of peoples hurt, struggles and pain.  When they should be using tithes and offering to manage the churches affairs that relate directly to the needs of the people and not just the needs of egotistical leaders. Encouragement, motivation, life and business skills and etc. should not be individually sold but should come along with the package that we know as church. Apostle Magdalene

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays to all of the bloggers tonight.  The Holidays are so special to me but with out my family they are just not the same.  Even so I am still grateful for health, a beautiful home, transportation and a whole host of other things.  To God be the glory! This Christmas you may not have gotten but trust that you got what you needed.  Your happy ending is not determined by your right now but by what God has already spoken over you life before you were even born.  And I know that sometimes looking at you right now seems hard to do but God is right on time and HE is faithful even when we are not be blessed.

A Jesus Church

I am looking for a Jesus Church

Church people know their pastor
but do they know Jesus
Church people can articulate
their churches protocol
but can their articulate the scriptures
Church people look forward to prosperity here one earth
but so there have eternity in their hearts



I don't know but what I do know is that it is high time for the Pharaoh church to set down and for the Jesus church to arise.
Who is Pharaoh you might say?  Pharaoh is a leader that keeps the people suppressed even though he has been told to let them go.

He has used the people to build his kingdom and now God wants us to build His kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven.  You can possibly build Gods kingdom without His children in mind.
Churches today are built with a man’s dream or vision in mind.  The only problem with this is that after the dream has materialized the people are then aggressively told and compelled to pay for it. 
How can build something for the people without knowing or even bothering to ask what their needs are and then to add insult to injury asking them to pay for something with Pharaohs name on it, his dream, his ego and after the people have labored and paid the dream is then left to his offspring?
I know some churches are outreach based which is great and others are doing surveys and interviews upon join which is another plus.  But at the end of the entire charade there is still a secret motive and a hidden agenda.

That is simply put and laid out
Money
Power
Fame

If these are the reasons what ET Pharaohs build churches then here is our problem right here.  Too much church and not enough of God. Waaaay to much of the pastor and not enough of Jesus too much focus on earthly treasures and not enough of eternity in God’s presence in which we have everything we ever wanted and needed.

To my faithful following let this New Year is one where you don't rely on another man or woman to get to know God for yourself and don't let anyone stand between you and Jesus.  And when you go to the four walls (church) don't forget that you are not stuck there because you are the church and we are the Body of Christ.  We are His and His only. We lend ourselves to the church however never forget that we belong to God.

Happy Now Year where things will began to happen for you now and know that the wait is over because Pharaohs reign is over.  You know how the church or someone is always telling you that you are not ready? Well neither were they but God still called them anyway so whatever else you need to know you will have to learn on the job because it's your time!


Take care until next year,
Apostle Magdalene
