The Father's House

The Father's House There will never be anything more important than your salvation. Things here are temporary, but the one true Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is eternal.

He brings hope, unfailing love, redemption, and restoration. And He did all of it for YOU.

I didn't write the long post below, but it sums everything up of where I am right now. The Lord tells me to rest. I don't know how. The Lord tells me to heal. I don't know where to start or the steps to take. It's strange when you are the one usually leading, and now it's like, what do I do? Where do I belong and fit in? Here's the post. It's so perfect and right on time.

Lord Help me Learn to Just rest right now.

Sometimes it’s hard for a preacher to go to church because church has been more than a place to worship—it has been their life, their calling, their responsibility, and their home.

A preacher may walk into a church and feel things that other people don’t see:

* The weight of people’s expectations. You’re used to being the one encouraging everyone else.

* The fear of being judged. When people know you as a preacher, it can feel like everyone is watching.

* The loss of your role. Sitting in a pew after spending years behind the pulpit can feel strange and painful.

* Hurt from people. Sometimes the deepest wounds come from people you served and loved.

* Pride and humility fighting each other. Not necessarily sinful pride—just the difficulty of going from being the one leading to simply being one of the congregation.

* Exhaustion. A preacher can become so spiritually and emotionally tired that even walking through the doors feels like work.

* Feeling like you don’t belong anymore. That can be especially painful when church used to be the place where you felt most at home.

But there is something important to remember:

You don’t have to be the preacher every time you walk through a church door. Sometimes you just need to be God’s child.

You don’t have to preach.
You don’t have to explain yourself.
You don’t have to fix anybody.
You don’t have to have the answers.

You can simply sit down, worship God, hear His Word, and let somebody else encourage you for a change.

And if one church isn’t the right place for you, that doesn’t mean God doesn’t have a place for you.

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Sometimes the preacher who has spent years telling everybody else to come to Jesus has to learn that Jesus is also inviting the preacher to come and rest.

This is a little note I'm going to leave here for myself, but I hope it encourages someone else in their struggles too. ...

This is a little note I'm going to leave here for myself, but I hope it encourages someone else in their struggles too. My circumstances don't change who God is and the fact that He is worthy to be praised, and I was created to worship Him. My God will change my circumstances though. That I am certain of! It's already done. Thank you, Lord!

Your silence is louder than their slander.
They talked about you. They twisted your story. They told a version of you that never existed to people who never asked.
And you said nothing.

Not because you didn’t have receipts. Not because you couldn’t defend yourself. Not because the truth wasn’t on your side.
You stayed silent because God told you to be still.

Exodus 14:14 says, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Be still. That means stop drafting the response. That means stop rehearsing the confrontation. That means stop building a case when God already assigned Himself as your defense attorney.

Vindication is not your job. It’s His. And He does it better than your words ever could. Because when God vindicates, He doesn’t just clear your name. He elevates it. He doesn’t just silence the lie. He makes the truth so loud that every mouth closes on its own.

You don’t need them to understand. You don’t need them to apologize. You don’t need the room to hear your side. You need God to move. And God moves when you let Him.
Every time you refuse to retaliate, heaven takes notice. Every time you choose worship over warfare with people, God adds another layer of favor that your enemies cannot pe*****te.

So stay quiet. But not defeated quiet. Dangerously quiet. The kind of quiet that makes the enemy nervous because he knows Who’s about to speak on your behalf.

Galatians 6:1-10
[1]Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.
[2]Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.
[3]If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.
[4]Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.
[5]For we are each responsible for our own conduct.
[6]Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them.
[7]Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.
[8]Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
[9]So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
[10]Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.

Jesus became sin, died, defeated death, hell, and the grave, and rose again to save Thomas (and you). He then sent witnesses of His resurrection to Thomas (and you). Then, He walked through a wall. Thomas could see Him with His own eyes and still didn't believe. Jesus said, touch me. This ministry was founded on a saying, "When all hope seems lost, touch Jesus". Jesus is my foundation. He can be yours too.

If you struggle with doubt, know that the Lord already knows it. And yet, He will still chase you down, meet you where you're at, and do what is necessary so you too can be a believer in everything the Lord says.

Don't give up hope. Reach out your hand. He's there and just as desperate to have an encounter with you as you are with Him.

So the other disciples kept telling him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "If I don't see the mark of the nails in His hands, put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe!" - John 20:25
After eight days His disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them. He said, "Peace to you!" - John 20:26
Then He said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and observe My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Don't be an unbeliever, but a believer." - John 20:27
Thomas responded to Him, "My Lord and my God!" - John 20:28
Jesus said, "Because you have seen Me, you have believed. Those who believe without seeing are blessed." - John 20:29
Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples that are not written in this book. - John 20:30
But these are written so that you may believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and by believing you may have life in His name. - John 20:31

Something the Holy Spirit has dropped in my spirit this morning. I want my spirit and the Holy Spirit to be aligned.

Gifts are freely given. And notice when it talks about the gifts of the Spirit in scripture, it is plural. The Lord can bless us with more than one. We limit it to just one per person. Paul said he became all things to reach the lost. The Holy Spirit knew what he would need and when he would need it to reach others because the Holy Spirit knows what the other person or people need.

Romans 11:29
[29]For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.

Now let's look at the fruit of the Spirit. This is different. First, it's singular. The fruit is all inclusive. It's not part of the fruit. It's the whole fruit. We can't walk in the fruit with just faith or goodness. We have to display and grasp the whole fruit.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law - Galatians 5:22-23

The gifts are freely given. The fruit is planted, nurtured, cultivated, and harvested. It doesn't come without trials, achievements, and even failures. It is tasted to see if it is ripened. Taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man that trusts in Him (Psalm 34:8).

We can't just claim the fruit of the Spirit. We have to practice it, even when we don't feel it. That's faith. That's how we get ahold of that fruit. We begin to act in it and let our thoughts catch up to our actions. We often pray for the fruit, but it's already there for us to taste and to share with others. We just have to choose it.

For example, patience. We all have opportunities to be patient, but do we choose it when we can or do we act out of the flesh, and then say "well I'll keep praying for patience"? I use this one as an example, because I've done it and heard it from others more times than I can count.

I've asked the a Lord to strengthen me in every area. He is faithful in doing so. It won't just be granted at the snap of a finger, but I also won't be buried; but planted.
