WILL YOU CONFORM TO RELIGION OR TRANSFORM BYA RENEWED MIND?

Will you conform to the world? will you conform to what your friends say and do? will you conform to religion; or will you be transformed by a renewed mind? Will you let GOD TRANSFORM you, or will you let RELIGION CONFORM you ? Here is what God tells you to do.....(Romans 12:2 NKJV) 2. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

            SAINTS WHO ARE YOU EATING LUNCH WITH ! 

Do you believe a Bible Based Church should be taught the true Word of God and also be doers of the Word ? How many of us Christians can do what Paul instructs the Church to do? Better yet, how many Pastors can obey(1 CORINTHIANS 5) and oversee God's Church as Paul instructs? I'm sad to say I haven't met one yet! Let's look at what Paul is saying to the Church. (9)." When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. (10) But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that. (11) I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people. (12) It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. (13). God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you." Now pause here Saints; did Paul just say don't associate with "believers" who practice these lists of sins? yes he did. Most Christians however do the opposite; we try to avoid and judge the unsaved who do these things, but we will clique up with those who confess to be saved and doing the same things within the Church! Saints stop judging the unsaved and leave that to God, and judge your own who the unsaved are watching! Didn't Paul make himself clear when he said "judge those in the Church" such as, those in the pulpit teaching and preaching, those who are up teaching Sunday School, Bible Study, directing and singing in God's choir, Ushering and serving as Deacons in God's Church but are indulging in these sins publicly? yes he did; in fact he said put them out the Church! If Pastors are not indulging in these sins themselves there shouldn't be a problem obeying scripture and overseeing the Church using God's word! I realize there's no perfect Church, because none, not even one of us is perfect but we should all be "striving" for perfection and not Compromising the word of God, after all ,we will be held accountable for what we know but refuse to do. So, how many of you can obey scripture and refuse to associate with believers who "publicly indulge in sin within the Church", neither stand with those who say God called them to Shepeard his flock ye they blatantly allow such behavior among the believers. (Galatians 5:9) says " a little levean leaveneth the whole lump!" I didn't write the Word, so please don't blame me; take it up with my boss God; You can go through his son Jesus, it's a toll free call Saints!

GET THE REST OF THE STORY ABOUT JUDGEING

                                   GET THE REST OF THE STORY ABOUT JUDGEING

The first scripture CHURCH FOLK learn is ( Matthew 7:1) judge not least ye be judge!! That is so funny because they always use it out of context (WRONG) and it's usually when they don't want anyone saying anything about what they do that is displeasing to God. If any of you do this allow me to assist you, because After we get pass being "church folk" and become transformed into "TRUE CHRISTIANS" we learn the rest of the story. CHEW ON THIS.. A few examples of His desire for us to judge, 1Cor. 6:2-3 Do you not know that the saints [the saved; Christians] will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! Prov. 3:21 My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight; John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.Jer. 22:3 Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness... Phil. 1:10 so that you may be able to discern [judge] what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ...Phil. 1:7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you [judge you]...Matt 7:1 seems to support the allusion that we are not to judge at all if we use small-vision tactics by focusing on only that small piece of the total of Jesus conversation.

what's important?

           IT'S A TEST, WILL YOU PASS OR FAIL?

 

In God's Church Christians have turned a blind eye and deaf ear to those who are hurt by "so called" anointed leaders, and also to their UNETHICAL and EGOCENTRIC behavior. They mistakenly believe that the anointing justifies anything that happens; they watch the super stardom and paparazzi spirit wanting to be apart of that! Sadly they forget about the HEART OF GOD and how it grieves him to see such abusive, immoral character and integrity excepted in the name of the anointing. We refuse to hold them accountable for such action and fail to realize that God is just as interested in character as charisma; but we sit back and be so quiet that even the still small voice of God can not be heard anymore and we become their "yes men and women." God remains quiet also as he watches to see how much you will compromise; how sad,We are failing the test! Luke 17:1 says “And He said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks should come, but woe to him through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble." I believe what Christians today need is a MILLSTONE reminder! When God has finally had enough, he will shut it all down, he will stop the test and you will have passed or failed. God is watching us all; those with the abusive, immoral character and integrity and those who sit back quietly and cowardly ignoring it! will you pass or fail God's test?  ~SIS.

THEY OVERCAME BY THE WORDS OF THEIR TESTIMONY!

 

SIS. DIVA WISDOM CORNER: AS I WALK THIS WALK, I LIKE TO LET GOD KEEP THE LIGHT SHINING ON IT, MY LIFE IS AN OPEN BOOK BECAUSE I USE IT AS A TESTIMONY! MY LIFE IS NOT MY OWN ANYMORE, I BELONG TO GOD! AS YOU WATCH WHAT GOD IS DOING IN MY LIFE ON THIS CHRISTIAN JOURNEY; MY PRAYER IS THAT IT WILL HELP TO ENCOURAGE YOU KNOWING THAT WHATEVER YOU ARE GOING THRU, GOD IS WITH YOU! KNOWING THAT WHAT HE DOES FOR ME HE WILL DO FOR U 2! NO ONE CAN TELL "MY STORY" BETTER THAN ME! U MAY HEAR THIS OR THAT SAID BUT GOD & ME WILL TELL MY STORY AS IT PLAY OUT! I'VE HEARD SOME HAVE ASK WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING ON MY CHRISTIAN JOURNEY? MOST OF THOSE ARE ONES WHO ARE SCARED THEIR STUFF MIGHT GET EXPOSED! I WILL PUT IT LIKE THIS, TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND. WHY DO YOU THINK WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING ON PAUL OR TIMOTHY'S JOURNEY. IF THEY HAD NOT TOLD OF EVERYTHING THAT HAPPEN TO THEM WE WOULDN'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THESE THINGS TODAY, THEIR LIFE SERVED TO TEACH US; SATAN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING NEW, HE'S DOING THE SAME THINGS TO ME & YOU THAT HE DID TO PAUL, TIMOTHY, JOB & OTHERS! IN THE BOOK OF 2 TIMOTHY 1, PAUL TOLD TIMOTHY NOT TO BE ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, THE PERSECUTION OR THE FACT THAT HE (PAUL) WAS IN PRISON!!!! WE CAN'T WITTINESS EFFECTIVELY TO OTHERS IF WE ARE ASHAMED OF WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH OR ASHAMED TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WE ARE CHRISTIANS! WHEN YOU SWEEP EVERYTHING UNDER THE RUG GOD WILL NEVER EVER GET THE GLORY IN YOUR LIFE! JESUS NEVER TOLD US TO KEEP SECRET WHAT HE IS DOING IN OUR LIVES, IN FACT THE BIBLE (REV. 12:11) TELLS US THAT THEY OVERCAME SATAN BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORDS OF THEIR TESTIMONY AND THEY DID NOT LOVE THEIR LIVES SO MUCH THAT THEY WERE AFRAID TO DIE! SOCIETY HAS SHAMED CHRISTIANS INTO KEEPING QUITE ABOUT WHAT GOD IS DOING IN OUR LIFE, IF YOU DON'T SEE ME GO THRU, YOU WON'T SEE MY GOD BRING ME THRU VICTORIOUS! CHRISTIANS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO TROUBLE BUT WE DO COME OUT OF THE TROUBLE A WINNER! ALSO HOW DOES SATAN GET EXPOSED IF WE KEEP QUITE AS HE RUN RAMPAGE EVERY WHERE CAUSING HAVOC AND THE PEOPLE OF GOD SAY SHHHHHHHHH... DON'T SAY ANYTHING, OR THAT'S EMBARRASSING; SO WHAT HAPPENS THEN IS SATAN KEEP GETTING A FREE PASS AND NEXT THING WE KNOW HE'S GOTTEN SOMEONE ELSE TANGLED UP ALL BECAUSE WE DIDN'T SOUND THE WARNING ALARM!!! I KNOW IT'S NOT THE MOST POPULAR THING A PERSON COULD DO BUT WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO BE EFFECTIVE FOR CHRIST WE CAN NOT BE AND WILL NOT BE EXCEPTED BY THE WORLD. WE WILL BE SHUNNED, TREATED LIKE AN OUTCAST, CALL ALL SORTS OF NAMES AND MORE. WE AREN'T BEING KILLED HERE IN THE USA BUT OUR REPUTATION IS BEING KILLED, OUR NAME IS BEING KILLED BUT SO BE IT ! PSALMS 37:6 LET'S ME KNOW THAT GOD CAN REPAIR ANY HARM DONE TO MY REPUTATION WHILE I STAND FOR HIM!!! SO CHOOSE THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE WILL SERVE THE LORD! (JOSHUA 24:15) THOSE WHO DON'T WANT TO SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD IN MY LIFE,THERE IS SO MUCH MORE YOU CAN WATCH, JUST LIKE WITH OUR TELEVISION, WHEN WE DON'T WANT TO SEE ONE THING WE TURN TO SOMETHING ELSE!  ~SIS.

THIS IS WHAT GODLY LOVE LOOK LIKE,JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW!

1CORINTHIANS 13:1-7 is a mirror for us! not only is it a mirror for us but it's also a love gauge so that we can recognize "true Godly love" when bro.'s & sis.'s in Christ say they love us. if it's not like the description below we are just noisy gongs! Let's read "GOD'S DESCRIPTION OF LOVE" together!                                

~SIS. DIVA, JUST KEEPING IT REAL 4 JESUS~

Love Is the Greatest

13 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. ³ If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;^[a] but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

⁴ Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud ⁵ or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. ⁶ It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. ⁷ Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

STOP WORRYING ABOUT TOMORROW!

I don't know about tomorrow or what it may bring, but I do know the one who holds tomorrow, who made tomorrow and who knows what will happen tomorrow, (Proverbs 27:1 NLT) says "do not brag about tomorrow since you do not know what the day will bring." so I will concentrate on today, moment by moment, I will be glad and rejoice in it, I will stay in the present, thinking about tomorrow will only make me anxious and bro. Paul said "BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING.."(PHILIPPIANS 4:6) So with that being said, let's just concentrate on right now.., shall we??  ~SIS.DIVA~

DETOUR

Just when you think God is taking you that way, he takes you thru a detour, He says we still going to get there beloved, but we're going to take another route!!!!(Jeremiah 29:11) FOR I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU DECLARES THE LORD...   Don't be upset when God change your route, he knows what he's doing!

IF GOD BE FOR YOU HE IS MORE THAN THE WORLD AGAINST YOU!

There are times when we as Christians must stand up and be a Bold , Strong Soldiers for God. Sometimes we have to be courageous for God as Paul was. He was Ready to Preach and Teach the Gospel without fear even when the odds were against him, even when everyone was against him, just willing to lay his life on the line for the Gospel. He Preached and Taught day and night , Ministering the Gospel of Jesus with power and clarity, he did it for three years, developing disciples, We are to be like Paul. No one will be happy about it, in fact you will be call a trouble maker, they will say you are disobedient and defiant, but don't worry when they say all manner of things about you, just remember that if God be for you he is more than all those against you. Just do what he has call you to do and know he will make a way, after way, after way! Paul said, "I will not stop!" don't be like old salt that has lost it's savor, don't roll over and play dead, do not be quite when they tell you too, in fact be like blind Bartimaeus and holler all the louder! proclaiming the Gospel! Like Bro. Paul, I will not stop proclaiming the Gospel of Christ! Blessed be the name of God, Blessed be the name of Jesus! (Matthew 10:26 NLT) BUT DON'T BE AFRAID OF THOSE WHO THREATEN YOU. FOR THE TIME IS COMING WHEN EVERYTHING THAT IS COVERED WILL BE REVEALED, AND ALL THAT IS SECRET WILL BE MADE KNOWN TO ALL. God is doing something in this season, we may not like it, we may not like who he uses to do it, we may not even like how he does it or even understand what God is doing, but let us stand still and see the salvation of the Lord!      ~SIS. DIVA, KEEPING IT REAL 4 JESUS!~ Correspond to this Ministry, I would love to hear from you!

THE WORLD AND THE CHURCH OR THE WORLD IN THE CHURCH!

When we leave the world behind and give our life to Jesus we are given the impression that life in Church will be different, the people in the Church will be different and leadership within the Church will be different from that of the world. News flash; it's not! When you finally encounter those who confess to be Christians being just as evil as those in the world it can be devastating. I can recall the job I was employed at before I got saved. I went through a lot on that job, in fact I almost had a nervous breakdown. The devastation was so bad that it was the thing that pushed me to turn to God! I was heart broken by some things that was done to me; people who I thought were my friends who stabbed me in the back and those who came along and twisted the knife. It was the first time I experienced what it felt like to hate. It was at that time I knew what it felt like to want to purchase a gun and kill everyone who hurt me! That was an awful feeling, daily I felt doom and gloom, I felt down , like a thousand pounds was on my back. I had never in my life felt this feeling; all I knew was that I didn't like it, I wanted it gone, all I knew was that it had gotten to be too much for me to bear and it was at that moment in my life when I went back to my childhood teaching, back to my Sunday School teaching, back to what momma and grand mother said..., it was at that moment that I realized I needed Jesus!  I began to search the word and pray, I told God all about how I suffered having my name dragged through the mud. lied on, stumbling blocks set up for me, on and on, I told God. Yes It was horrific what I had to endure! But as bad as it was, I wouldn't take nothing for my journey. Without that I might never have given my life to Christ. It was that journey which taught me to lean on God, to know that there was absolutely no one who could help me through that trial except God.

As I think back over that experience it is virtually the same scenario I've experienced after giving my life to Christ; the sad part is that these are people who confess to be saved, these are my brothers and sisters in Christ. I have the knife stuck in my back and some turning the knife, name being dragged through the mud, lied on, talked about, traps set for me; but the one difference with this journey is I got a friend in Jesus, all my sins and griefs to bare!!! I no longer have to go thru trials alone; my worst day with Jesus is better than my best day without him. That alone, is enough to give God some praise! I have learn that it's all working together, the good and the bad..for my good. These are good lessons that help Christians to grow and mature. I have hurt, but Praise God I don't have the hate! I pray to God for his will to be done, I pray for those who hurt me; I no longer feel like killing for revenge; I realize that revenge belongs solely to God and him only! 

There are many Christians who are just like I was, naive about life after coming out the world. no one told us this journey still wasn't going to be easy; no one told us that the devil was gonna get even busier in our lives, no one told us that everyone in Church did not have the Church in them; no one told us that everyone in Church wasn't saved, no one told us that there would be cliques with in the Church, gossiper in the Church, liars in the Church, backbiting and everything that we thought we were leaving behind in the world! NO BODY BOTHERED TO TELL US!!! So if there are those that are suffering on the battlefield, a new convert, know that God is with you! before  you gave your life to Christ you were alone, with no one to talk to, no one to be a friend, but Thank God for Jesus, he's a friend to the friendless, mother to the motherless, father to the fatherless, doctor for those sick, lawyer in the court room, what ever you need God got it!  So if the storms don't cease and the waves keep beating you the wind keeps blowing , just know that your soul has been anchored in the Lord; Now isn't that good news worth sharing?

 I can remember back many many years ago when my mom told me about being a young woman and young Christian in a particular Church, she told of how an older lady in the Church befriended her and was suppose to be mentoring her; however this same woman found out something that was going on with my mom and spread it all over the church and community. Momma said It wasn't so much the secret being exposed but it was the person who exposed it that hurt her so bad, one she look up to, one she trusted, a Christian woman who was suppose to be helping her in her new walk had been the one who almost pushed her back into the street life!  It is a sad thing that people like this exist in the Church but it is a fact of life. God knew it would be this way but there was one whom he knew would be bold, able to keep it real and teach the Church and stand Boldly up to those who were determine to tear up the Church God established! His name was was Jesus, He wasn't scared!When the money changers were in the temple Jesus became angry and drove em out of the temple with physical force, turning over tables and all, Jesus wasn't a wimp(Matthew 21:12)! Saul was another; we have read many of  his letters to the Church giving them instruction on the very same things that we experience today!  (Acts ch. 9) As an enemy of God Saul was bold, he was an Arnold Schwarzenegger type, a Terminator; Saul didn't play! God seen a man who was bold, stern, a tell it like it is, say what he mean and mean what he say man, A man who could deal with people and not be fearful. God saw that and knew that same boldness for Satan was what He could use to Glorify Him and be one of the most powerful teachers for the kingdom of God! When God changed him he changed even his name to Paul, but if you notice he didn't change that which he seen in Paul, that Boldness, sternness,ability to be Strong, that keep it real attitude! That is why Paul could tell the Church of Corinth about the sins they allowed to continue within; like the incest, the fornication, the gossip, Christians taking each other to court, Paul would use terms like, "it ought not be, or shame on you." He never mince words about how we treat each other in Church and neither should we! We are call to be Bold Soldiers of Christ! Paul didn't take any and everything, he didn't except any and everything, Paul didn't be quite to be excepted by everyone, when God brought him out the world Paul insisted we not allow the world to run the Church, and neither should we. The world and worldly ways have no place in God's Church. We were Called, Saved and Anointed to bring people out of the world not bring the world and her ways into Gods Church! We are Charged to be Strong and Bold, God didn't give us the Spirit of fear because we can't keep it real for Jesus if we have fear, He says be of Good Courage! When God would give a person something to do he would always say fear not, or be of good courage, It's what he told Moses, Abram, Daniel, Jeremiah, he told Joshua over and over to not be afraid! Let us stand Strong, let us be of good courage, even in the mist of those who set out to harm us, even when we encounter them within the Church, God is with us, He promised never to leave or forsake us. God is still good even when we encounter bad.

BEING IN THE WILL OF GOD IS NOT ALWAYS SAFE OR EASY

WHEN CHRISTIANS ARE DOING THE WILL OF GOD IT WILL COME WITH GREAT COMMOTION AND CONFRONTATION! IT WAS THE SAME WAY WHEN JESUS WAS DOING MINISTRY, EVERY WHERE HE WENT THERE WERE RIOTS AND COMMOTIONS; THOSE WHO ARE NOT ON THE LORDS SIDE WILL BE OFFENDED AND THREATEN BY YOUR ASSIGNMENT! ROCKS WILL BE THROWN, STUMBLING BLOCKS WILL BE SET, DITCHES WILL BE DUGGED,PERSECUTION WILL COME, BUT NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED SHALL PROSPER AND EVERY TONGUE THAT RISES UP AGAINST YOU, YOU WILL CONDEMN, THIS IS THE HERITAGE OF THE SERVANTS OF THE LORD (ISIAH 54:17), AND IF YOU SAY "THE LORD IS MY REFUGE", AND YOU MAKE THE MOST HIGH YOUR DWELLING, NO HARM WILL OVERTAKE YOU, NO DISASTER WILL COME NEAR YOUR TENT. FOR HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU TO GUARD YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS (PSALMS 91:9-11). GOD WILL PROTECT AND DEFEND US AS WE DO HIS WILL; WE ONLY HAVE TO TRUST AND HAVE FAITH IN HIM. IT WON'T BE EASY BUT WE WON'T BE ALONE, GOD WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU! NO SAINTS, BEING IN THE WILL OF GOD IS NOT ALWAYS SAFE AND SWEET, IN FACT MOST TIMES IT CAN BE DOWN RIGHT DANGEROUS! GOD NEVER PROMISE US THERE WOULDN'T BE DANGER, HE ONLY PROMISED US HE WOULD BE THERE IN THE MIST OF THE TROUBLE WITH US! HE WARNED US THAT WEAPONS WOULD BE FORMED, BUT THE GOOD NEW IS THEY WON'T WORK!

A SNAKE IS A SNAKE!

My mother told me this story some years ago. On a cold winter morning a sweet little girl was skipping thru the forrest on her way to see her Gma. As she skiped along she came upon a snake, he hisssssed at the little girl to stop, she did and the snake said please put me in your coat and take me with you, I'm cold! No she said, you'll bite me! I won't bite you little gurl, I promise. convinced, she picked him up and put him inside her coat and continued skipping along, suddenly she felt a bite! ouch she said to the snake, you bit me and you promised you wouldn't! hissssssing with laughter the snake said, you knew who I was when you picked me up!!!! Lesson: when a person shows you who they are believe them, don't fool around with them and their two faces, believeing their lies; sooner or later they will bite you !   JUST KEEPING IT REAL 4 JESUS! ~sis. diva~

Do you know what a Compass is, and what it's used for, do you know what a GPS is? A Compass has only one purpose and that is to point North; a GPS is to guide you where ever it is you would like to go without getting lost.  Where would the world be with out something to guide us to the North, to take us where we'd like to go? For Christians Jesus is our guide, Jesus is the way the truth and the Light. (John 8:12) says "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world, he that follow me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."Jesus is our compass, he is shining his light on the path we need to be traveling on, he is our GPS, our Global (GOD)Positioning System! Jesus is our On Star! there is no place on earth that we can be; that God will not know where we're located, there is no emergency we can have that God is not aware of, in fact God is better than any GPS or On Star because he knows when an accident is about to occur before it happens and will change your entire route to avoid it. On Star can't do that! Our Creator has given us a compass also(The Bible) but we refuse to use it. It's like going on a trip, not knowing how to get where you want to go, but not believing any of the maps that tell us how to get there. It's like refusing to listen to the On Star operator when she is giving us turn by turn direction to get to our destination or like continuing to go in a direction that it says needs to be rerouted! Sometime the Holy Spirit is there trying to reroute us, telling us not to go this way or that way. Our God is on duty 24/7, he's always available to us; guiding and leading the way. Let Jesus lead you; he will bring you over, and Thur and he will bring you safely, all the way!  If we find our self going the wrong way or making a wrong turn, Jesus will recalculate and put us back on the right path.  How awesome is our God? he was On Star and GPS before our Government ever even thought about it! in fact GOD OWNS THE STAR AND THE GLOBE! Stop feeling lost and out of place, God knows where you're at. He knows the plans he has for you, he knows how to take you to the destination he planed. He has given you a road map with instructions for the trip; It's call the Bible, treat it like you would your Master Card; don't leave home with out it!

HIT BY FRIENDLY FIRE!

                                                         

On the battlefield a Soldier may be hit by friendly fire. I'm not talking about the war in Afghanistan but the war we're in as Christians; and like American Soldiers in war a Soldier on the battlefield for Christ can be betrayed by other Christians!(hit by friendly fire) I've been hit by friendly fire and others have too. Remember Paul went through it, he was thrown in prison because his own people plotted against him, and Joseph was betrayed by his brothers; and least we forget Jesus and all the betrayal he suffered! Some days all we can say is what Jesus said, FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO or like Joseph said, YOU MEANT IT FOR MY BAD BUT GOD MEANT IT FOR MY GOOD! Christians plotting evil against their sisters and brothers in Christ is nothing new! ~SIS. DIVA~
