I've worked very hard on my blog but in December, I began to doubt that I was being of any use to anyone. It feels as if I'm doing this in vain. No one ever makes comments nor is it ever shared. I stopped because I needed a break from the computer for Spiritual and personal reasons. It had nothing to do with me falling away but more to grow closer to Jesus Christ one-on-one without man. I am happy to say it has worked out well for me but I'm not sure if I should continue doing this blog if it's not helping anyone. I want to spread the Gospel to the world or at least to as many as will receive it and also to have some fun and to support and encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. I also, of course, like to have fun and laugh. Laughter is a good gift from God I fear today we have few chances to use. So, do you guys want me to continue my blog? Are you willing to share it or to put a link to mine on yours or your website; recommend it on other social media sites or to people looking for answers or a place to enjoy and learn? If not, then maybe I should find another way. I love doing it but if it's just for my own edification, no.
If you want me to do it and are willing to help me spread it cos I cannot do it without you, then comment or say yes but don't just 1+ it. I need to hear from you that you are reading it. Also, I'm more than willing to post your writings on here if you want me to as long as they are Biblical and go by the Gospel of Grace and GRACE alone. It must line up with the Gospel According to Christ Jesus in First Corinthians 15:1-11. This is not nor will ever be a "works oriented" blog ("For ye are saved by GRACE and not of yourselves. It is a gift of God. Not of WORKS NOR DEEDS lest any man should boast - Eph. 2:8-9). Now this is not to say I do not encourage and believe in good works cos I do, very much so. I also encourage people to get baptized as it IS an act of OBEDIENCE but not for salvation.
If you preach a different Gospel, you are not teaching the RIGHT Gospel and if your Gospel includes you must speak in tongues, I fear you may be turning people away. I've heard this from many who have gone to these churches, seen people running around, convulsing in the floor and have left, saying they won't no part of that.
Here is my belief...lead people to Jesus Christ and then let the Holy Spirit do what He does best and lead that person on their journey. If given any gift of the Spirit, they will know it. I also believe that if the gift of tongue is needed, it will be given but only if needed as the Gospel and languages are learned today. It was given so that the Gospel could go out but today, we have that ability. If gifts are given, maybe they're given to each as needed at various times in their life as the Holy Spirit gives. Besides, it's not us that has the ability to heal, prophecy, perform miracles, it is the Holy Spirit.
I want to continue my blog but I'd rather do something to edify the Church and bring honor and glory to YWVY and Christ Jesus than for it to be for my enjoyment. It is up to you. If I get no responses to this post, I have my answer. I hope and pray I get many.
Much love to all in Yeshua Ah Messiach!
