Dear Brethren,
Often I feel discouraged when the Lord puts a letter of importance on my heart to post and I get responces from people who get offended, they think I'm talking about them or their family. I do not post with ''anyone'' in mind. I post what God lays on my heart to post.
I feel this battle going on within my heart, I do not want to ruffle anyones feathers or ofend anyone that is not my intention. I feel like the devil is trying to get me to squelch my message, because the truth I'm presenting might upset someone. I know this is the problem with pastors in the pulpit in America, they worry about upsetting someone in their church if they preach on a bible truth, thus most choose to sqelch, soften, or compromise their message for the sake of peace. I am not a preacher, but I am a christian with an unquinchable desire to serve my Lord and bring Glory to God with my life, and to teach others what the Lord has taught me thus far. I'm not perfect, but the Lord is and I know He is real and that He wants His children to live holy uncompromising lives with a sweet spirit toward others.
I love each and every person the Lord leads to this board, I care about you and your family, but I will not, I cannot compromise the message the Lord gives me to post on this site. Bro Ben agrees wholeheartedly. He has been talking with me and comforting my heart about this most upsetting topic. He wants me to speak the truth in Love, with boldness and confidence. This site is a Blessing to so many people. I get letters all the time thanking me for something I posted, but then every now and then I'll get a letter from an upset sister taking something I said personally. Mark this truth down in your heart and be assured of this fact sisters, I love you, I care about you, I want Gods richest Blessings in your life and I do not say anything on purpose to offend or insult or upset anyone. Truth is offensive, but it's not me offending it's the Word of God and truths presented from the Word of God that you find offensive. What you do and how you live your lives is non of my business its between you and God. What I do and how I live my life is between me and God. Thats why I must not compromise what the Lord tells me to write here on this site. ( What is said on this site and the convictions and tempreture of this site is my business.) And keeping a godly atmosphere around here is important to me.
I have asked prayer because it hurts my heart ( yes my heart, I'm too tenderhearted for my on good ) to get long upset letters from those I love. It troubles me for days, weeks, I really struggle ( not with speaking the truth, but getting someone upset ) I know yall are all probably shocked at this post, but In the past month satan has attacked twice that I know of and I just feel a battle going on here. I need your prayers.
On the other hand besides the two attacks from satan, I get letters all the time from you folks thanking me for something I posted or for this site in general. The Lord is doing a mighty work in the hearts of His dear children across America and for that I rejoice greatly!!! It is our desire that christians will turn their whole heart toward the Lord and give God everything holding nothing back and living a life that brings much, much glory to our Lord and Saviour a life that is light and salt to this lost dying world.
Please pray for me and the hearts of those who come to this site.
