Series on Manipulative or Immature Relationships

New Trendy Word Alert (Counter-Attacks)
🙄Correction = Petty
🥶Boundaries = Controlling
🫣Accountability = Attacked
🥴Authority = Arrogant
(These word may vary depending on which generational group in relation to vocabulary)

No you are none of these things. You are mature and these words try and counter who you are with false words of their projections of low esteem, rejections, and lack of maturity. You have to stand in Authority and Keep a Posture of Correction,Forgiveness, and Love. Never retaliate but you do have to Correct. Correction is NOT petty and we need to remove this false teaching and understand it’s an attack on who you are, it’s like someone calling you out your name, don’t be offended correct them and move on because it’s coming mainly to counter correction. Because if the words are indeed petty, as a leader this could reflect levels of abuse. (Another days word)

If you have children they don’t want to be corrected because it hurts their feelings. Your soul has to be afflicted to understand to turn and go higher because that behavior is not correct. The Bible speak of those who he loves he disciplines. (Hebrews 12:6)Those who are teachable, and can receive correction are likely to grow. Not abuse, but correction. (This is another story and we will touch this later.)

Individuals are likely to feel like the victim not solely out of malice but out of lack of maturity. How do you teach immaturity…you give wisdom, strong teaching, love, and correction. He who rejects it refuses to grow. This than becomes a throwing your pearl before swine situation. (Matthew 7:6) We don’t have to demonize the relationship but we do have to maintain our posture and be unmovable, set boundaries, teach, and be willing to forgive them either way because you are the mature one you have to govern the relationship. Sometimes this may require removing yourself temporarily until the relationship shifts and grows or even permanently.

While maintaining your posture two things will happen. That individual will be challenged and grow through agitation or they will leave.(James 4:7)

Don’t stop loving, don’t become hard or bitter but you stand, be mature and love. Some grow and others blame. That’s not your responsibility what they say. You Know Your Name.

I AM NOT A CHURCH GIRL!
(Teacher Hat 🧢 On)

First and Foremost I’m a Grown Woman. For my husband standing with with me, he appreciates that 😉.

Next I’m a Kingdom Woman. “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God.”
MARK 4:11 (ESV)

My husband said something very significant to me that has been ringing in my spirit since the beginning of this controversy of the offense of the use of the word ”Church Girl” used in a song. He said “baby this has nothing to do with you, because you are NOT a church girl.” Whew I felt something run deep down into my sanctified soul. He said you are “ecclesia” you are Kingdom you are a son of God. Receive who you are in the authority in which you have been given and do not reduce yourself to this statement that does not represent YOU.

So I’ve come to say, if you are a “church girl.” God bless and if you not God Bless you. I’m FREE! I am the CHURCH, I am Ecclessia, Governmental Authority! Kingdom! “Upon this Rock, I will build my church.”

However I do remember being a church girl, being who the church needed her to be, not who God called her to be in the strength of Him and not of them. The church girl who lived a double life. I’m talking about me not you 😉 I was about to get married for the church, I was one way in public and another behind closed doors 🚪 being a “church girl.” When I felt my strength come, I BROKE OUT AND EXODUSED!

Rich and I preached a message Un-Churched when we began the ministry. This was a clarion call, for those who will come out of bo***ge in to the marvelous light, in order to be free and receive “Salvation” not Church. The message was all you need is Jesus, to confess him, to believe why he has come, to die for our sins and rise again with all power. He didn’t come for you to be a “church girl.”
Speaking about that version of myself, being a “church girl” meant superficial and fake, I had a form of Godliness and denied the power thereof. He came that we might have LIFE and HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY. Although many will not choose freedom because it requires breaking out of approval seeking, people pleasing, judgemental chains(that was my struggle.) I also understand this fear because it wasn’t easy releasing that codependency.

We see examples of this, just like…

🌊Moses struggled with a people who wanted to go back to Pharaoh
🌈Noah struggled with a people who didn’t believe it was going to 🌧.
✝️Jesus died for a people that didn’t know and understand that he came that they may be free.

Again…Specifically referring to me. “I Am Not A Church Girl!”

An organization doesn’t sign ✍️ my check, nor am I seeking approval for their platform so I can freely speak, and not conform.
