How to Handle Bad Church Leadership

Have you ever experienced this? Please share the situation and how you handled it below. I just had an experience with someone (a leader at my church) that was outright rude and disrespectful and other than pray for them I am not sure how to handle it. Maybe I should just pray for them. Looking for Christian advice...

EXTREME Competitive Couponing

So I had an ok experience at a Publix shopping today. Initially, I thought it was good but after looking back I was kind of like ehh. I am not getting the concept of couponing or there are secrets that I don't know? That's to be determined. One thing I do know is that couponing is a competitive sport. That's right who can exercise their right to save the best! I have seen shelf clearers (hair flip to you), stock pilers, newbie couponers, and people who haven't a clue about couponing. 

I kid you not this lady that was very pregnant was pushing this very full and very heavy looking cart. Nothing against preggos...been there done that! BUT she was on another level. It was then I realized that couponing can be competitive!

Women (I have yet to see a male couponer in real life but I believe they are out there) look at your cart and  size you up! As if they are saying you're not ready or stay away from my sales. Anyway I am rambling...I say all that to say this. Do the best YOU can do. Couponing takes time (no one tells you that). Don't get discouraged. The more experienced couponers know things that you don't...they may share....they may not. Either way you will learn and once you do there is no stopping you. However, once I find out what they know...I will post it here. By the way I am talking about beyond the bogo's, stacking coupons, and the such. I am talking about the in's and out's of couponing. Trust me...there is more to couponing than bogo's and watching the sales. So stay tuned. 

Deliverance is available today!

As Christians, we must praise.... it is an integral part of our relationship with God. We may pray and fast and pray and fast....which is important don't misunderstand me....but if we don't praise we will not unlock the blessings God has in store for us. I have been reading stories in the Bible of praise. We hear the story of the red sea quite frequently. But there is another account of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chron 20. You must read it if you have not and reread it if you have. It has some life transforming information about praise and what it can do for you.This chapter depicts what happens when we praise. God moves when we praise! I have seen it in my life. 

Something else that I learned about and experienced that I don't hear about a lot is deliverance.  TRUTH ENCOUNTER=DELIVERANCE. When God reveals Himself to you anew and you encounter the truth you WILL be delivered. Case in point: 

Your reality:God will not forgive my sins. I have been drinking....smoking....and committing adultery. I am unforgivable. 

Truth Encounter:For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our trespasses, sending them away, letting them go completely and forever]; and You are abundant in mercy and loving-kindness to all those who call upon You.

God's word is true. Your circumstances may be your reality but you by no means do you have to stay in those situations. This is why.....

TRUTH ENCOUNTER=DELIVERANCE 

Brother or Sister here is where belief and faith come into play also. You must believe it. You have got to know God is powerful enough that He is capable of forgiving you of your sins. You must also have FAITH that what God says is true. Faith is the next thing you must have. It is not an option for you...it is a must. 

I am praying for you! Believe and have faith that with God all things are possible. God makes all things new and He is ready right this moment to deliver you and save you! 

Devil we are done!

Devil it’s over now! Not another day not another minute will I let you have control over any area in my life. I give God total control over my health, over my marriage, over my finances, and over my family. I understand the power that the Lord has and I am claiming it in the name of Jesus! God has all of the power and He loves me and I know it. I am through with you and your ways.

I am unlocking the Joy and I am claiming the fruits of the spirit in my life. I believe God and I believe His promises. God has surrounded me and delivered me from you. I no longer have to be a slave to my sinful life and I am done. I no longer need to walk around with my head hanging in fear. I know longer need to be sorrowful because God has given me one of the fruits of the spirit and that is Joy. I claim the anointing of God in my life. I will trust God with my home. I will guard the avenues of my heart.

So I am through with you Satan. I am so done with you. You do not have power over me in Jesus’ name. God is the answer and He has been all along. So get your stuff out now….in the name of Jesus!

Thank you Jesus! Thank you for restoring what was lost. Thank You for truth and Your promises. Thank You for the ability to praise you. I will lift my eyes to hills and know that my help comes from You Lord. God you are more than deserving of my praise and I thank You! I love You and I give You all the glory and all the praise.

Hallelujah
