As I go through some of the posts the confusion about denominations are many - I thought I would show you how God dealt with me on this matter as it has been a source of great turmoil in my life. I went back to my poems and found where God gave me the answer - this post will deal with how He showed me the answer.
===========
My life had been in turmoil for three or four years and part of the turmoil was my husband leaned toward one religion and I leaned toward another - We had been back and forth a few years here and a few years there and my husband was never happy away from his original church.
Finally in 1998 he made the decision 'I will go back to my church.' The Bible tells us that if we have a husband that is submissive to God, then we should be submissive to him so in obiedence to that scripture and knowing that we should worship together, I went back with him to his original church, kicking and screaming all the way. I really did not want to attend this church.
God really dealt with me on this matter and one day as I was on the computer I saw in my mind's eye a drop of blood. Knowing that this is how the Lord gives me the poems, I knew He was up to something, so I just kept that vision in my mind and asking God what it was that he was doing or wanted me to do.
Nothing more developed for a few days, then again as I was working, several drops of blood became imbedded in my mind and I still did not know what the Lord wanted me to do with this vision.
Finally a few days later the drops of blood had names on them, one was Baptist, one was Catholic and one Jewish. Immediately I knew the Lord was dealing with me over this indecision of churches. I sat down at the computer and said 'Lord fire away - I am ready.' The words to the poem 'Angel's Dilemma' came forth.
As I put the page up on the web for the world to see, I was in thanksgiving that the Lord had again been faithful and answered prayers.
We sometimes get caught up in the religious spirits that are around us when the name of the religion is not that important. In a class we were taking in this church the pastor was asked what it meant to be this certain religion and his answer was 'a deep and abiding walk and love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.' I sat there and thought - so what is so different - maybe they go about it in different ways, but the end result is all the same - a precious walk with our Lord and Savior and the precious touch of Jesus by the guidance of the Holy Spirit - that's what it is all about.
My thoughts are still non-denominational but what makes the difference where we are if we are going by the leading of the Holy Spirit. There are precious people there and their prayers are beautiful.
I think we need to all get rid of the religious spirits and devote more of our time making sure our hand is held tightly in the Masters hand and following in His footsteps only.
