Oh Jesus help us


Oh Jesus Help Us, help us, your people, the church. We need you, we need Unity. We need to be the One perfect spotless, blameless bride that loves so strongly it has no room to hate, only room to love. We need to agree to disagree on some things, and agree to agree to love each other stronger than we hate.

I am brought back to my Georgia friend Derek's wise insight that he would not criticize any other ministry. Live above criticism. Live above, love above it. I hate finding web pages and books written about the evils of other christians and that they are an "apostasy" and "blasphemy". Geesh, doesn't satan do enough damage to us? do we really have to eat one another's flesh?

This was brought about because I was reading a blog about how Heidi and all these other people (John Arnott, Todd Bentley, Benny Hinn, Seventh Day Adventists, Bahai faith, Catholics, Scientologists, Creflo Dollar, etc) and how bad they all are and how they are not Christian. While I have to agree on a few points, that people who are Scientologists or Bahai are not Christians, I must disagree with 99% of this website/blogsite. Why spend so much time tearing others down? It just doesn't make sense. What on earth DO you believe in if you demonize so many people? Do you even love anyone? Do you even realize that the people you write about are just people too?

People who run ministries are just that, people. They make mistakes, they all sin, JUST LIKE YOU AND ME!!! Haha, what freedom in that! We all sin, we all mess up! I don't like it that people devote so much time to tearing apart the very body that they belong to.

That said, I responded to some questions one of them had on a blog that they were asking of Heidi. I could actually answer almost all of them based on common sense and being in Pemba and hearing her teaching. So I spent awhile responding and said I had been there, and heard her speak alot. The comments are moderated!!!!! Unbelievable!!! My comment didn't get posted, needless to say!!! They won't even let the other side in!!! So much for bloggers being the new journalistic revolution and being less biased than the so-called "liberal media".
Then I read their "comment posting rhetoric" and it says "1. We do NOT promote false doctrines. You may question our premise but if you link to websites that promote false doctrines that link will be edited out. We also do not promote comments that endorses false teachers. “Imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived” 2 Timothy 3:13."

So therefore my comment, which answered their questions about Heidi, was not posted because it endorsed that which they are trying to destroy. However, I am glad that Heidi and Iris and I have Jesus' love which no one can take away!!

I leave you with a quote from Leeland's song "Tears of the Saints":


Even churches have forsaken
Love and mercy
May we see this generation
In its state of desperation
For Your glory


Yes, Jesus, we want You more than anything else. More than anything else!
