“So many think that church is unnecessary..Amen..they think that it’s just people with their opinions..Amen..so they prefer to not go at all..so they stay home..they read their bible..maybe..but again they are against the church..against the attendance..all of it..and I haven’t quit understood that..Amen..because I do know that the people that I know have either gotten hurt by well..they say the church..but it’s wasn’t the church it was people..so instead of attending somewhere else..they just stop all together..Amen..and I truly have come this morning to tell us all..that we need church..we need the fellowship..we need the guidance and the wisdom that is given to people who have been truly called of the Lord..that truly does love and care for Gods people..Amen..because it is this way..we all are always hearing something..Amen..and we are all getting fed on something..Amen..no matter what that is..whether it’s worldly or not..someone is giving us something to chew on in our lives so to speak..Amen..so we must take heed..be careful..be smart..be wise..all of it..Amen!”

“But one thing I know is we are the body of Christ..and we need the church..people need a church..community needs a church..Amen..for have you seen it in your life..how many people come to the Lords house..and they cry and they pour out their hearts and souls..I have..I have seen it..Amen..and they love God..they are trying..Amen..but somehow they walk away..and think that it all is gonna change instantly..their lives..because now their saved..Amen..they’ve confessed their sins..they’ve asked the Lord for forgiveness but then..they never come back to the church..they just go on their way doing the things they maybe they’ve done before..but heres the thing guys..your salvation yes it is there..but heres the other thing..I heard this pastor say..and it was this..salvation is there we can be sure..but once saved..you gotta learn how to live..Amen..okay lets say it again..once you are saved..you have got to learn how to live..Amen..so learning takes teachers..takes preaches..takes other like minded believers..Amen..takes worship..takes praise..takes love..takes Gods word..Amen..and we get these things..from the house of the Lord..thats how we learn to live..because we are a new creature in Christ..the bible says the old has past away behold the new has come..2 Corinthians 5:17..Amen!”

“For when we start out we are like babies..we desire milk..we need the nurturing..we need the help to learn how to walk..how to live..how to change..Amen..for it is doesn’t come easy..Amen..it is a daily work in progress..so one of my all time favorite Pastors says this..the church isn’t a resting place or a rest home for the saints..but it is a hospital for the sick..Amen..and we all have stuff..we all have troubles..we all have something that is there in our lives..that needs Gods word..Gods truth..Gods love to speak life over it..to us and our lives..to give us the strength to get up and keep going..keep moving..keep loving..keep praying..keep trusting..and to keep walking and following the leading and the guidance from the Lord our God..Amen..so that we are changing from glory to glory to be more like our Father in whom is in heaven..so again church is necessary..if you do not have one pray and ask the Lord to lead you to the place where He alone desires for you to be..Amen..for Gods word and Gods house is a must..it is the air that we breathe..it is our life..and while there we do learn how to live in a broken and fallen world..we learn how to stand..in the midst of it all..Amen..so find your place..keep learning how to live..and live a life well lived..not just existing..but thriving..and thriving in all areas of your life..that Jesus our Lord died that we could live and live abundantly..John 10:10..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
