Hi G
I have mentioned that the Church I was in Struck me!
I opened a thread here as it was happening called I've been Struck! The Church I was in sent me an SMS to tell me they had struck me from their list! I had done two years bible study with them. They did not even send me my certificate or invite me to the function to which all students that had passed qualified.I had paid double the bible study course back to the Pastor in tithes but the Pastor had sponsored my bible college fees so I guess they could dismiss me as a student on that basis alone by the will of the Pastor!
Only kidding....it was God's will to drag me out. HE used the pastor to boot me sharp and hard out of that henious place of deception and that is the irony. I had passed my exams but did not qualify for Mystery Babylon.
I was a Cell Leader and in my last exam on "The Principles of Faith" I disclosed the following : I am daily standing the test to trust and know God knows all things, sees everything and is testing me not to promote me into leadership but to purify my faith by separating me
from leadership." I was being tormented by the heresy teachings in the Church that had the underlying message of “ don’t trust yourself to understand God, trust only me the Pastor. I the Pastor am the way the truth and the life and you don’t get anywhere without me. I know better than you. You are expendable. Forget your bible. Don’t even refer to it or try to understand it. I, the Pastor knows everything you haven’t learnt yet and I am all powerful..”…That is just a little of what I saw G….
On the heals of my expulsion.....my darling husband found Ray's site. He said to me, "Debs, you should read this....." I was so amazed, excited, overwhelmed and totally thankful for such clarity, purity, truth and major insights, sharing and selfless passion that came vividly through whatever Ray wrote! It was like eating the real banquet of the Lord and not having to chew paper photographs of delicious food as the Church does. Cardboard with picture candy promises pained in heresy colors of deception and illusions.....I was so blessed to find the real thing, the real truths here at BT.
A few months into reading Rays teachings I began writing to him and he responded. With a bit of prompting I joined the Forum. I have had the distinct blessing of meeting sweet kind kindred spirits here and it has been a huge refuge from Mystery Babylon to have been granted refuge here in the Forum.
thanks for asking....
Peace be to you
