#Domestic Abuse,#Hurt,#Love

Recently, the subject of domestic abuse has been a point of discussion.  Some of the comments made and opinions given were interesting.  The ones that caught my attention were the ones that made it seem like the females actions provoked the abuse.  Those that make those type of statements do not know what they are talking about.  Unless you have experienced abuse or known of someone close to you that has experienced abuse, you have no idea how it feels or what it does.

A woman does not provoke abuse.....not abuse.  Abuse is something that occurs once and then continues over time.  And, yes a one time event is just as much abuse as that which occurs over time. A woman should never be made to feel she deserves to be hurt, ever.

Some try to connect abuse with submission.  A submissive woman is not an abused woman.   Submission should not be used to support the abuse of a woman.

I have had conversations with men that think women are beneath them.  It is hard to believe that in 2014, in the Church, there are men that think this way.  The role of the woman is so vital to the Church, families and communities.  When you study the Word of God, He makes the role of the female so plain.

My prayer is that the Women of God are safe and being treated right.  Abuse can not be tolerated in the Church.  The Bible says, love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."  Romans 13:10.

The Bible also says, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another, as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.  John 13:34,35

Domestic abuse is not o.k. in any shape, form or  fashion;  nor for any reason.  It's just not o.k.  It is wrong.

#Run the Race Right,#Win,

Many start, but do not finish. Many once ran well, but now have allowed that which is contrary to scripture to run their lives. The scriptures bear this out in Galatians chapter three. "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, " Galatians 3:1 "Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye n ow made perfect by the flesh?" Galatians 3:3 The Lord is calling the roll. Are you ready? Revelations 16:15  "Behold, I come as a thief.  Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." steadfastapostolic.com

#Call Jesus,#Cry out,#Jesus, Deliverer

If you call Jesus right, he will hear you and come see about you.  Ask blind Bartimaeus. The scriptures says in St. Mark 10:46-52 that Jesus, His disciples and a great number of people were leaving Jericho.  Blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.  Blind Bartimaeus could not see.  He did not know what Jesus looked like.  He only knew what he heard. Blind Bartimaeus began to cry out to Jesus, "Jesus, thou son of David have mercy on me".  When the people tried to stop him, he cried out the more so, "Thou son of David, have mercy on me".  He did no let people keep him from calling on the Lord.  He must have heard about the miracles, healing, deliverance that took place at the hand of the Lord. Jesus heard the cry of Blind Bartimaeus.  It was the sound of the cry that revealed to the Lord that Blind Bartimaeus was calling out in a blind state, but yet believing something would happen if he could get the attention of Je...

#A Lot of Singing,#Shouting,#Tongue Talking,#Playing

Music was one of the things that drew me to want to go to Church when I was not saved.   I use to love to hear and 'feel' the spirit of the songs.  Back then, the singers would sing unto the Lord.  They were not paid to sing.  They were not seeking recording contracts.  They would sing unto the Lord.  The would sing about the Lord.  So, when one went to hear the singers, your soul got touched whether you wanted it to or not. I can remember going to the Holiness Churches.  The praise was different too.  When the Saints praised God back then, it was real.  When the Saints did dance 'in the Spirit', it was real.  You could feel it.  There was always this 'presence' in the Holiness Church that I could not explain....then.  But that presence kind of held you captive, whether you wanted it o or not.  And, sometimes Church would go on for hours, but no one cared.  And, if one of the Saints said something to you that t...
