This is going to be my REAL Sermon for the day.. (excuse all typos and mistakes as usual , my vision is blurry today) lol
Over the years, and particularly back when I was younger, when I went to church all the time , there were always people in and out of the church.. I've been to several for periods myself.
I've met likely thousands of people over the years in various churches and denominations. I've see people I know change churches so many times over the years, they did nothing but cause problems in every church they went to. They couldn't agree with anybody. , Couldn't get along with anybody.
I remember this one old lady that came and went, made the rounds to pretty much all of the local churches and every place she went, somehow something that somebody did ( mostly the pastor preaching her the truth) gave her some reason to be offended.. She came through my own home church more than several times over the years.
I've seen entire families do the same thing. Go from one church to the other being offended , spreading tales and gossip about people. Mostly people they barely even knew muchless knew anything about. I could give you many specific examples..
There's this one family that came through when I was younger, they spent a few years in the church, some of the family came and went .. Most of them left years back, but some of them came in and out over the years along with the surviving parents. Always into something .. These were the people that were always the trouble makers.
I'm not going to talk about their children ( who are now adults some in my age range, younger or order) but they were always spreading gossip about the preacher or other people in the church. I don't know if they just completely ignored what their own family members did, or they were just gossiping to throw the suspicion off themselves. But some of their family members to this day constantly go around telling the same tales about other people in the church that they've been spreading for as long as I can remember.
Regretfully , after I got out of school and got out on my own, I went to another church for a couple of years in my area and made friends with people, I guess wanting to see the other side of things, but I enjoyed the church to some degree .. I participated in some things there, met some new people.
Over the course of that year or so, I saw so many things happening in the church I just couldn't understand , but I stayed there a while because I liked the church and the pastor.
There was this one family there that was a wealthy family. I was friends with a couple of the boys at the time and they just seemed like they were the nicest people you'd ever meet upon interacting with them. Over the course of the months i was there, they started to reveal themselves. They gossiped and talked about EVERYBODY .. These people had so much money they practically built this very nice church..
People came to the church and boy these people ate their lunch. "She's a whore, she's got x babies, he's a queer , blah , blah , blah.. Something ALL the time.. They were trashing SOMEBODY about something all the time. If it wasn't the "sinners" it was the preacher or somebody else in the church that they didn't like..
They left this church not long after I did, and returned to another church where they had spent many years, but left because they couldn't get along with those people. A couple of years later, they left THAT church (again) , They built another church ( these people have lots of money) Same thing. The churches went through pastors and people like ""I go through underwear' as the old saying goes..
They stayed in their own church a while, then some left, others stayed.. Over the years their own family flock continued to multiply . When they weren't fighting with each other , they were fighting with the pastor.. Greedy folks. The pastors and church leaders would try to take their position and lead the church, these people would get mad about something, usually money, and fire them .. I've never seen churches go through this many preachers..
Finally , they left that church, built a HUGE church and the flock grew, but same story, people came and went constantly. When they left, it nearly always had SOMETHING to do with this family.. These people running the pastors off time and time again ..
Mind you, they practically built these churches and they were constantly getting ran off from them. The same thing happened again recently. The signed onto one of these organizations and then didn't want to abide by the rules.. It's same teachings as all of their other churches, but they wanted to control the money. Same thing happened not a couple months ago., Finally the pastor and congregation had it out with them, and they once again flew the coupe. They are now , once again, right back at that church were they originally started and it was a church that they gave much money to over the years also.. One of the early families there..
These people are very influential. One of them is even a preacher now, but they cause nothing but hell and mayhem no matter where they go.. They spread gossip and rumors , cause issues in every church they go to.. They've very influential in the church and community.. Large and expanding family and fortune.. I'm not talking average rich, I'm talking entire family is seeded with a fortune
All I can think about when I think about them now, is all of the evil that they've sewn over the years.. All of the lies they've spread and trouble they've caused for other people, All the gossip and trouble they've caused. Against pastors and "Whores" and people they accused of being gay and druggies and all sorts of things. I look at their own families and I think about what the bible said about reaping what you sew. Their daughters and sons today , and grand children, are doing the exact same things that I heard them accuse other people of over the years.. Some of them on drugs, having children with people that their own parents "dispise' , They've fought against their own children.. I've heard them trash their own famil;y members and people that married their own children and grand children calling them trash and this and that.. Their own children and grand children, have done the EXACT same things that they've spread about other people.
I've seen it happen time and time again over the years. This is why I now always think of my own mom when I hear people doing these things. When people would tell my mom something about someone , accusing people of all sorts of "improprieties", my mom would say "you shouldn't be saying that, you don't know what people have going on in their lives and you know how people love to gossip and tell lies".. And just like the other day when I posted about "speaking demons into existence'. I believe that we do.. I believe that the more you accuse people of things, the more you talk about these things, the more your children hear you talk about other people in derragatory and demeaning ways, that your children build a curiosity up about those things.
You go around talking about people calling people that are down on their luck, openly calling them things like whores , drunks , prostitutes and all sorts of other things, that you're speaking bad things into their lives, and at the same time, you're speaking them into existence in your own life. You're speaking them into existence into the minds of your own children and the more that you do, the more likely they are to manifest in their lives whether openly, or hiddenly .. Children are curious. When you talk about things openly in front of them , they have a natural curiousity to want to know more. You have to be very careful what you talk about in public or allow your children to see and hear on a daily basis.. The more they hear about these things, the more "normal" they start to sound to them. The more they start to accept them as just a part of life.
I believe that's why some of these people today who go from church to church, spreading gossip, telling all the things they do about other people, have so many of the same issues in their own families. Like this one gossiping family. Everybody is a whore, a slut, a faggot or something bad in their eyes because that's all they want to see.. They are a very influential family. EVERYBODY knows them. If I mentioned their names in a tri-county area, a very large portion of people know them either from church, gov't or financially . They know that many people .. A lot of people that don't know them well, believe ever rumor they repeat. People in the church who know them well, steer clear of them. They've been thrown out of church after church or left for one reason or the other time and time again , just for this reason.. Because every where they go, they gossip and "sew discord among the brethren" ..Over the years, it's made me wish I had never met some of them..
I'm saying this because everyone that goes to church isn't Christ like. A lot of people have this "holier than thou" attitude or as the old saying goes , they think their own stuff don't stink and everyone else's does. Just remember and understand that just because someone goes to church doesn't mean you should believe everything they say and money does not make a person better or worse. Don't let false prophets deceive you just because they look like upstanding citizens. Don't let people IN the church deceive you either or make you believe that they're Christians or that what they're doing , necessarily represents God or the truth either. You should believe your bible and like my old mother always said, steer clear of gossiping demons whether they go to church or not because most of the time, in the end, they're trying to coverup their own fornications of the truth. Just don't let these people make you believe that they represent God. They don't. A lot of Devils go to church and a lot of people think they're angels.. Until they get to know them
