Christian Life As A Born Again Christian - House Of Worship

From Author, Violet Laverne Williams - Pray some way the content will bless someone, encourage them, and to look to God.

Question Is - Why do some of us as born again Christians criticize so much?

It's like that Christian can't do anything right as far as that other born again Christian is concerned. They just have that criticizing spirit around them, as if that born again Christian doesn't know anything and they know everything.

Is this one of the reasons some born again Christians find another House Of Worship to attend? where they can grow in the word of God, where they are able to disagree and still walk in love with one another and given a chance to show their spiritual gifts or skills that God has given them for His Kingdom and to bless others and He get the glory. If a born again Christian, someone in leadership , see a problem with that Christian, why don't they just go to the Christian in a godly manner, and straighten out the situation. A lot of us you can go to if their is a problem in the ministry or House of Worship. Some of us don't do that, we talk about that sister or brethren which doesn't help for God's work in that House of Worship. Some of us, my own opinion are too harsh to some Christians. I believe a lot of us know when God is correcting us through someone in leadership in the Body of Christ at the House of Worship that we attend. And sometimes being honest it doesn't sound like something God would say through the Holy Spirit. Their is a difference than being humiliated and a rebuke. God doesn't humiliate us the way some have been humiliated in the public including myself. At this point in my life as a born again Christian I don't let something like this bother me. I can pray about it, and I can find another House of Worship that I could attend where I can grow in the knowledge of the word of God and continue to be about God's business. But, through it all always remembering it is not about me or my brethren or sister in Christ, at that House of Worship but about God. I don't have to agree with anything taught not lined up with the word of God or do anything at the House of Worship that might be corrupt and not lined up with the word of God. And it doesn't mean that I don't respect those who are in authority or those ordained by God because I do. We are suppose to be able discern what is of God and what isn't. That way you also will know whether or not you are under the leadership of a false teacher or false teaching. I definitely will pray about it, and ask God to use me as He see fit while I am at that House of Worship. I'm up in age, I don't have time to deal with any foolishness from anyone whereby God is not getting the glory or no one is getting blessed or helped. I am a single born again Christian woman, my mind on the things of God and what God's word says in helping others and projects I am working on and some I need to complete; everything in line with the word of God. I try not to waste time. Don't have time to. I forget where this store I use to go to, their was a sign in the store that said "If you don't have anything to do, don't do it here". Do this make sense, it's like find something to do.

Criticism such as: the Christian is either worshiping the Lord too loud, they don't know how to pray. If God has answered your prayers, you know how to pray. And also I pray in the spirit in tongues, so if I don't know what to pray at the time the Holy Spirit is praying because it knows what I need or other. Or whatever other negative remark some have when Christians desire to volunteer or participate in the work of the Lord at the House of Worship. God has given us spiritual gifts to be used in the Body of Christ and skills. Some of us think we know more than the other Believer without giving them a chance. God will use that Believer especially when they desire to do the work of the Lord, even if it is not at that House of Worship.

It was in my spirit sometime this year or last year about those who get trauma in the House of Worship. Isn't the House of Worship also where we go to get healed? But, some Christians have experience trauma in the Church including myself in the past and some might be experiencing trauma now, this is not of God. I believe It can also come from teachings that a Believer receive at that House of Worship that can cause a negative impact on their lives if it is not from the Holy Spirit and from the flesh of the person in leadership teaching it.

God has healed me mentally and I intend to not allow the Spirit of the devil working through anyone to cause me or try to attempt me to go backwards. I intend to go forwards. And besides, I know that I am an overcomer through Jesus. - John 16:18 and 1 John 5:4 - The New Testament. This is faith, in believing through Jesus that I am an overcomer not being arrogant. I don't stay in situations with continuously hearing negative words, these are words that are not building up a Believer. I always remember that it's about God, it is not about us, establishing God's Kingdom on this earth before He returns. Isaiah 55:8 - Old Testament - Mark 1:15; Matthew 6:33 - New Testament I praise God when I am in the House of Worship and at home. Probably need to praise Him more at home. I have grown as a born again Christian to stay focus on God when I am praising Him, not who is around me or who is watching me. You are in the presence of the Lord. I don't have time to be trying to be cute. Just a phrase I use, not being judgmental. Some of us praise God in our own way. That's why I sometimes cry, it's like a consistent cry that you can't stop. We know also the Holy Spirit heals and cleans us up in the House of Worship. I believe some of us take other Believers for granted. Whatever I do or give at the House of Worship, I am doing it for God. And that is pleasing in His sight no matter what someone else might think. I am going to just be real, and not allow people, we can't allow people to interfere in the work we do for God, whether it's inside the House of Worship or outside. Everything lined up with the word of God. Some of us still showing favoritism and being hypocrites

I am adult, as a lot of us are, whatever I do wherever I go, I try to stay in line with the Word of God. And have common sense about what I do and where I go. I am a Senior Citizen but, I am not going to allow fear to come around my heart. We can still enjoy life on this earth until Jesus returns and still be serious about the work of the Lord. I am not going to be religious. Sometimes it look like some don't like to see some one smile or laugh. Just because people saved and unsaved go through some difficult times in their lives doesn't mean they shouldn't be smiling or having fun. That they should stay looking sad, down or defeated when they don't have to look like that. We as born again Christians, "Are we suppose to be feeling down and looking sad?", because we go through some kind of suffering, that's part of our lives as being a born again Christian. God brings us through it, our faith in Him, His strength not our strength. I don't want anyone to think they need to feel sorrow for me, or some kind of pity, I serve an awesome God, who is their for me, we all do as born again Christians. I wouldn't be here right now living and breathing if it wasn't for the Lord, His unconditional love, His strength and my faith and belief in Him that He could change the situation I was in, no matter what it was. Trusting Him no matter what we might go through, always remembering He will never leave us, nor forsake us, and will bring us through. He answers our prayers, Mark 11;24, Philippians 4:6&7 and Matthew 18:19&20 verses. He brings us through, He blesses us.

I don't have to report to anyone where I go or what I do. Too many people are too involved in other people's affairs where they shouldn't be. We should know when God is bringing a message to us through the Holy Spirit about our lives, through His word or a sermon. As I said I am an adult. I am not going to be religious. I don't have to wait for another Christian to be with me to tell someone about Jesus. I don't have to report when I do. This is about God this is not about us. I believe, we, some of us take things personal with born again Christians when we shouldn't. I go to God in prayer, I try to every time I need to. God has no respecter of person. - Romans 2:11-16 - I am a child of the "Most High God " just like any other born again Christian. None of us are better than the other born again Christian no matter what your status in life is. Even though to be honest, some act like they are.

I am African American, so I don't need anybody to defy my race as an African American. We don't all agree on the same things, and we are not all alike. Some of us are prejudice against others in our own race. Prejudice is different than being racist. Prejudice is something you don't like about the person and you treat them in a different way, not in a good way. Racism has to do with the race of the person. If you doing something illegal, I am not going to agree with you whether you was black, white, latino, Chinese,etc., born a gain Christian or not saved. Wrong is wrong and right is right. Some of us think we can cover up our wrong with money. Some of you are going through something right now because you thought you could get away with what you are doing. And we need to get right with God, repent and ask God for forgiveness, and do the right thing. Me too, when we need to. But, some of us speaking about women and some of our own race think we can just cheat people, making money doing unauthorized things in regard to people we have no business doing, things that might also cause harm to a person. Some think they got away with it or are getting away with it. I think that you are foolish, and the TV Network you work with just as foolish. Their are those who know what I am talking about, because I have mentioned it several times, I just haven't mentioned some present TV Networks or Streaming Channels. Some of you be giving a chance to make things right and you think you too wealthy nothing wrong with being wealthy. or you have this prissy attitude as some women have, like you all that. I am talking about the ones that think their money can cover up the corruption that they are doing and it won't catch up with them. We do go through trials, tribulations and persecutions but, their are times I believe God want us to take a stand, especially when we are doing the right thing. Just because I am 74 years old, doesn't mean I don't know a lot of things that are going on in this life or other. My mind is very sound at my age, and the wisdom of God, don't be fooled, thanking God and giving Him the glory for that. That's why I look at people with this look like "Do you think I am in this world and don't know what's going on or what you are saying?", when they say something to me as if I don't understand or would understand what is going on. To be honest, I am straight to the point with people now. Especially when they come to me with foolishness or think they know me by some negative rumors they heard. They will get the point where I am coming from in a nice way. Because after a while sometimes you get tired of people coming to you with their nonsense and political ideology and trying to bring that ungodly political stuff into your life. Their is politics used the right way and their is politics used in a corrupt and ungodly manner. I don't speak about a lot of things, doesn't mean I don't know about it or care. I observe people and I read and sometimes research what I don't know. I take a lot of things to God in prayer. I am given guidance through the voice of the Holy Spirit, through God's word or through a sermon or He could give me the answer another way.

I thank God for bringing me through some of the most difficult times in my life and family too. I will always remember the goodness of the Lord and what He has done in my life and my family. And that's why I will stand for God no matter what. And I will do what I need to do, sometimes people have to face their consequences, otherwise some might continue to do the cheating, being greed and trying to take advantage of others and those who don't know what to do. All a person need is himself and God, it is good to have somebody else a friend or someone else, but sometimes it might be just you and God. And remember God outnumbers all the people in this world.

I can't understand how some of us in our own race, the African American race do what we do to our own race of people knowing the history of our race and how difficult it has been at times for us to be successful in that goal we reached for. And still continue to press forward and believe God, because He can open a door for you that no man cannot shut. Are some that greed for money that they don't care and this what you did to some in your own race or doing? You still have to face consequences, it won't matter what race you are of. But, as African Americans we know the history of our struggle. That's not what you call doing business. What happened to the integrity? I am on the side of God. Some you can tell by their actions and what they say, no matter what the race of people they are, in this world, just don't care about the human race.

In spite of what's going on in the world today. I don't want to ever loose focus on the things of God, continue to win souls for Christ, keep love in my heart, don't be a part of confusion but peace, my Savior, Jesus Prince Of Peace, treat others how I want to be treated. Continue to give to the Lord and to others, I have it to give. Stand for what God's word says, don't compromise His word for anything or anybody. Walk in love with my sisters and brethren in Christ, whether we agree or disagree. That we pray for one another in the Body of Christ all over the world. Salvation is more valuable than all the money in the world. Be reminded every day Jesus is coming back, I am a child of the most High God. I am an overcomer through Jesus. Romans 8:37 - The devil is a defeated for, He has no place in my life. I have the victory over Him through Jesus, to rebuke Him and command Him to get behind me when I need to "In The Name Of Jesus'. Their is power in Jesus Name, their is power in the Name Of Jesus. Hebrews 2:14; 1 John 3:8 - Philippians It's going to be a new heaven and a new earth. This old earth is going to pass away. Isaiah 65:17 - Old Testament - Are you ready? Will you be ready to go back with Jesus when He come back? Romans 10:9-10 verse.
