I'm sorry to hear that the church building that you attend and its congregation is in turmoil right now. I, too, would have an issue if a pastor lead from his old nature as opposed to the new one The Lord gives those who accept Jesus as Saviour. I realize our old nature is ornery and at times challenging to overcome, but, we must know that In order to serve, we must lay down our old nature and let Christ's nature rise up in us.

I'm sending up prayers to our Lord in the name of Jesus on your behalf. God's will be done. I also pray for the pastor that Christ humble him. God's will be done.

God bless and keep you, Ciny.
Love,
Mack

Thank you Dora for the good advice saving it to remind my self love you too (hugs) A new friend of mine on web page shared this with me kind of goes along with what you and Mac & MLG said to me she dose not know what has been going on in my life find it kind of kool I love how the Holy Spirit works ......

This is what she said below ........

Jesus is the reason. We grow in Faith. we love as Jesus loved us. Jesus picked us from the bunch out of many. U are loved and wonderfully made. thank God that u are here right now. Because Jesus want u to be here in his presence. We are never accident. Remember Jesus is not finished with u. He has so much more for u to do in his kingdom.
Keep the faith friend .

You mentioned....

I keep getting thoughts that i'am no good and not worth anything i know that God's word says different Like i have a hope and a future in him with a good out come Jeremiah 29;11 and that i am fearfully and wonderfully made Psalms 149;14

Keep telling those voices the truth over and over. I know it gets exhausting. You may also try just hearing the words, with out fighting them, recognize them, realize where they are from and why you are hearing them, then let the truth peacefully come in and cover your brain and your soul. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, you are perfect in His sight, you are His bride, you are fit for the wedding supper, ect. Maybe write some down and keep around your area, in your pocket, purse, and car.

I've been through some really bad stuff at my church. God has gotten a hold of my church and shaken it up. He replaced the pastor and I love church again. I pray your church gets touched by God. I think you may be in a time where God is waiting for them to repent and change their ways. It's ok to visit other churches during this time so your spirit gets rest and you hear the word rightly spoken.

God loves you dear Ciny! And so do I!

I even can't fathom the forgiveness Jesus has for us. That He would give up His very own life so I could have eternal life.

I find you to be brave to have learned to look at your abusers through Jesus eyes. That took a lot of courage. Courage only He could give you.

Keep on walking the walk sweet ciny.

Take care
