SHIFT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH GOD
As I began this journey there was women who came across my path. It was strange to me, a new part of my life for I was coming into the body of Christ straight from a prison life as well as street. Many of the women I met had already been in the church for quite some time, so I figured they knew what was best for me. Meanwhile, I was a student (still finding myself that student, seeking truth) of the word even during the many years of incarceration. I found myself having real God experiences. God was molding me, shaping me into a woman of Integrity, that Virtuous women of God.
Along the way I grew strong, and knowledgeable of the word of God (not saying I know everything). It became my destiny, to seek the truth. I had been bound for soooooo long that when I seen the move of God, and was affected by what I was reading, I desired to be more like Christ. The shift was happening, I was changing and so was the woman in my life. As I began to take a stand for truth many started to rise against me, the saints of God many lacked knowledge, and that was rough (still rough). The funny thing is it wasn't just the women, but the men in leadership as well. Some would talk a good talk, you know that flattering tongue conversation, and at the time it meant alot to me for I was still what they said to be a babe in Christ. I joined the Church, but not like the average women or man, but like Christ, what He wanted. I excepted Him and sold out to what is God's. I wanted more of Him, and it became obvious. I remember when I preached my first message, " How are you living"it took my church at that time by surprise for they didn't know what God placed in me. The Holy Spirit moved in that service greater than the two years I was there and heard the leader preach ( mind you I never missed service for those two years) from that day forth I no longer was seen the same. The pastor of that church decided he wanted me to be the evangelist. How many of you know that if you allow others to tell you who you are you may be settling for less. I've learned that you got to know that you know who you are and who's you are or people will mess you up for religion and tradition still takes place. I didn't know the power that God placed inside me, and not to mention I was still trying to adjust to this Church stuff. So along the way many doors opened up for me to speak at many functions. I began to really notice the change in me, seeking God the whole time. He would place men/women with a prophetical anointing in my path who contributed to building me up (many from another state). Shift happens, I was able to now move in the prophetical, again let me say it was there the whole time. I hadn't caught on to how much, but as time went on and I got good in my gifts, I became more aware of the voice of the true and living God. God stripped my eyes, and taught me how to walk in the spirit and to me that is good stuff. I began to see how much the church was out of order, how many would compromise for a little pleasure of sin, than to stand for truth. How many of you know being saved will cost you? Some will give up the drugs, alcohol, but not sexual immorality. Some still singing in the choir, and okay with shacking up. Some will preach behind the pulpit and continue to sell crack and leaders are okay with it as long as they pay GOOD tithes, seems to me selling themselves short for a dollar is what it mounted up to be( worship of the god of this world). Please don't get me wrong we all fall seven times and get back up, but as a leader you sit until you are right to stand up, catch your balance so to speak. Many follow you and when it appears to be excepted, to compromise what happens to the babes in church, they do like you do and still no change takes place except for those who seek the truth. Believe it or not many die by the way side for what they thought was God turned out to be a lie. The church is so far OUT OF ORDER. Anyway moving right along, so I continued to move and grow as led by the Holy Spirit; who I SUPRINA FORD THANK GOD FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT HE WILL LEAD YOU IN TRUTH. So if you remember the beginning of my sharing I told you about the women across my path, as I was growing I left some churches for my season was up, and some stuff in leadership I just won't compromise, it is about INTEGRITY, REPRESENTING CHRIST. Another shift happened some woman I was close to began to shift as well, this is when I no longer was at there church, or doing what they felt I should do ( mind you some are religious & traditional, as well as they will follow man, instead of God) I have no longer received the same love. I thought being saved and them being my sister that was enough. For me for I thought we formed a genuine relationship, oh how I have found that to be so wrong. Now let me stop you that would say not all of us are like that your right not all, but as soon as I stepped out and no longer was apart of there group/click however you want to say it is when it seemed to be when all hell broke out. I found out many folks that was forever in church lacked the knowledge of the FIVE-FOLD MINISTRY, they would claim the Prophet, the Evangelist, the Pastor, the Teacher, but when it came down to the Apostle, the religious folks say that the anointing took that gift, so if thats true would it not be for all gifts? Well I've moved on from many and many have stop associating themselves until a storm hits them or the church hurt takes place, for it will happen. Remember I said SHIFT HAPPENS, some of you will grow. I have learned that I must remember for the shift that takes place in the lives of the saints, will cause an earthquake in your spirit leaving behind the familiar people, places, and things. Off with the old skin and into the new skin, my destiny has become my purpose, so no matter what man say's seek God with all you got for the Holy Spirit is the best teacher you got, for man will change on you, REMEMBER SHIFT HAPPENS.
