Not sure what is happening to me. Been preaching since I was
nine years old. Preaching has become complicated for me. Does not mean as much
for me to bring out deep truths or ignite the depths of revelation. I have
witnessed preachers telling people off more than telling them something that
speaks understanding and empathy as to where they are. After I am done
preaching anymore and I catch myself being more about something to say than
something that heals, delivers, and draws the heart to finding peace; it leaves
me not wanting to enter the pulpit anymore. Change is okay and good where it is
needed; transformation is more favorable. Changes folks are making leading them
to transformation is where my heart is going. Paul said, “I travail in birth
until Christ be formed in you.” As I see it, offending people does not bring
this forming about. Let’s set and have coffee or a soothing hot drink of sort;
let our thoughts be free to find where the pain is, where the emptiness is,
where the struggle is. Let us get to where the heart is. Are we doing church,
or, are we being the church? People are not as deliberate as some make them out
to be. There is a good person deep inside most waiting to be drawn out. Jesus
help us find you in what we say and what we do, help us to be an extension of
Your presence; help me to be an extension of Your presence. I cannot get away
from Gabriel telling Mary that He had come from standing in Your presence. The
way I see it, if I am not coming from this place, I cannot take no one there.
The WORD before it ever became spoken is the Word I long to hear; the Word in
the beginning, the Word with God, the Word that is God.
