Bishop TD Jakes and Donnie McClurkin on TBN
Hey people,hope your week is going great. I got to hear this interview and it inspired this write up.There were certain things which stood out to me which my heart couldn't help but share and I think it's simply amazing how we could all watch the same video and have different things which really stand out to us.We would like to hear from you about it too so please feel free to share .
On that note,I'm going to share what I loved about it. The major things were ;Nobody is perfect,holiness is a lifelong process everybody has issues, and the bishops honesty about his life and family.
Above all of them ,' Holiness is a lifelong Process' really stood out the most to me. The bible says in Rom 12:2 " Be ye not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind ".
Sometimes we forget that its not an instant change. Yes,it is very important that we stay in tune with God ;hearing his word,praying,worshiping,listening to tapes like this e.t.c but also remember that transformation takes time.I love when it makes reference to the fact that people should be allowed to feel how they feel.They should not be forced by somebody to act a certain way because you are a christian now or talk a certain way ' because somebody thinks you should.It tends to put an immense pressure on people to be perfect .That Pressure that makes one constantly aware of how your reactions should be,tends to push people away.The intention is usually good, most times,when this is done.However,it would only result in acting a certain way and living a life of hypocrisy without fulling understanding why we should act in a certain way.It should rather be yes you feel a certain way now and your reaction may be different but people should be allowed to go through the process of transformation and grow into what they believe. 'Faith comes by hearing and hearing through the word of God 'We should be allowed to let God himself transform our hearts and minds daily .That soon enough,we begin to see by ourselves and we begin to understand by ourselves the love he has for us and because we daily come to a deeper revelation and realization of that love,our hearts can't help but respond to that love based on the understanding we do have.Which is demonstrated in our reactions to certain things and certain situations which ordinarily we would have done ,because we felt like,but because his love now compels us we choose not to. It's truly way fulfilling to really' be Christians' than just 'acting the part'.
Have a Fun Weekend
With Lots Of Love FV
