Black Preaching Network

Dr. Linda Holliday

Are You Auditioning for a job to preach where God has all ready appointed and sent you?...

Should you have to send an audition tape or CD to go into anothers church to preach the gospel when you are chosen and called of God?

Do you believe as I do, that those that are spiritually filled with the Holy Spirit should know and have a decerning Spirit to know those that are like spirits laboring in the vinyards of God together? ...and dost the doors are open to advance the Kingdom of God as they join in partnership.

I don't believe a tape or CD is necessary and it is unfortunate that we have gotten caught up in appearances and sound rather than spirit. We lie and say we will let the Lord lead us, but what we really are saying is, does this person make us look good? Can we really attract with him or her

FAITH

So perfect is nature, though not by man
It's the brush of our master that paints the land.
The sun comes up and sun goes down
As in every direction God's wonders are found.

The tide comes in and the tide goes out
Our faith in eternalness is what life is about.
Contentment depends on which path we walk
By daylight or darkness; our faith is our rock.

Our confidence and trust in a higher power
Helps guide us through every moment and hour.
Fidelity to ones promise and observance of law
Lets our Lord know we heed his call.

I don't believe in my spirit that you should have to send tapes, or audition for preaching assignments. The Word of God tells me to go into the World and preach the Gospel to every living creature. That is an commission by the Boss of Pentecost, JESUS! I believe that the 21th Century Church have become far too worldly and commercial. That they are led by the Spirit, they are the sons of God. If more ministries would allow God to lead and not their intellect we would see more people saved and delivered by the Power of God, and not by good entertainment.

I believe that we should hear the Lord on all matters, and if He says let them in to bring the word then that is what needs to be done. It is a dangerous thing to get in the way of the will of God, we must remember He is the Shepherd and the people are His sheep and He knows what His sheep need and it may not be what we have been feeding them on that day. God never does anything one sided, if it is a word for the sheep it is a word for the under Shepherd as well.... Remember His sheep know His voice and a stranger they will not follow. So hear His voice and follow it. Amen

LONELY WOMAN



Loneliness had me almost persuaded
To let my loyalty and favor stray
But I thought of you and our children
Then decided instead to pray.

For so long you’ve labored on the railroad
Called away any hour night or day.
Many times in the night when there’s thunder
I awake as in anguish and loneliness I lay.

When our children cry out, “where’s daddy?”
I remind them you operate a train.
While my main concern is your safety
And will you return to us the same?

I know you’re a hard working Christian man
And it’s not your fault you’re always away.
I composed this poem to express my need
As for your love and tenderness I pray.

I love you more than words can express
As we solder our burdens as husband and wife.
We can’t help but be human and make mistakes
As we journey the struggles of life.

Our challenges are many and vary greatly
Raising children in earth’s ungodly throng.
Jesus never vows to remove all difficulty
Only His wisdom to endure what’s wrong.

Let God take the weight of our burdens
We were never meant to endure alone.
He will never bend us, break us or destroy us
As the seeds of His splendor are sown.

Dr. Linda Holliday,

Yes I do agree in both examples as it is written: For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness....NOW no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the "peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been "trained" by it. Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be DISLOCATED, but rather BE HEALED....What a blessing! Hebrew 12:10-12 Shalom

I don't FULLY agree with sending a video to a church JUST for preaching a service, I believe it is the Pastor's job to make the call as to whom shall preach to their people. As a matter of fact he/she should've heard them before they come or they come with a good recommendation from another Pastor. Most Pastors ONLY bring those whom they know, and heard before. However, I DO agree with having to send a video or CD if a church is in a Pastoral Search.

What first is coming to my mind is the question that should also be here......

is it in God's will that sons and daugther of a Pastor should always inherit their positions in the Church. If all the Churches should ask themself this and God for what God is telling them should it be many that shouldn't be on the altar because God is a personal God so what one get doesn't always inherit into another person only because they belong to the same family.

But most people prefer to give their kids a place on the altar and I can understand it as a parent too, our flesh tells us but I am not sure God is saying yes if Pastors should ask.

I have also seen children of preacher growing better preacher and have more of the Holy Ghost in them than their parents to tell the truth.

Not all can draw even if their parents are great artists.

I am a white woman and I was told of God to take a flight to USA but He never gave me money to survive on or any job so I was homeless the first 2 years of my walking in 3 and half years in USA.

One time should I pay for to be a Minister in a church with about 98% black people in the church.

One day didn't I had $200 to pay the fee to the Pastor but the day before the class was I talking to God and He said that tomorrow takes care of itself so I was sure God should fix it for me next day.

But it wasn't so that God was paying for me and the Pastor had no mercy on a poor person so he told me I was out from the class.

But as I was travelling from far away with a friend to the class did he told me that I was allowed to sit down and listen to the speaker that should come that had a truelly gift of could read from the spirit what sort of Ministers we all should be.

I had done the same questions as all the other on a paper so this man that owned a Bible University in Florida was also "reading" my paper.

We was about 25 people in the class and he started with the Pastor and told him that he was lover of money and the Pastor was going out from the church extreamly angry but that was God's answer of not accepting me in the class.


Then did this man telling everyone what sort of Minister they should be and people was laughing and pointed finger to each other because he read all people without knowing us and everything was just exactly how each person was, he not even look at the papers he had just got.

For example did he told my friend that she should be a Bible class teacher and my friend was a teacher in profession at a upper secondary school.

My paper was the second last paper he was holding and he just had to take a big step back on the altar because he had never seen such result when it comes to LOVE for people and he said that this person shouldn't sit down on the floor, instead should she be on the altar and give the Pastor advices and help him with preaching.

And all people was wondering whom that person was and it was a true surprise when it was me he was talking about, me that had just been kicked out from the class because I was too poor.


After come the Pastor for the church and said he should train me to be a Pastor and I should get my own Church under him and he should even bring his people to my church those first Sundays so I got lots of people to preach to.

But the days was going and I didn't heard from him.

I come one day to the Church and said I needed a schedule of days when I could come to the Church and watch him working but he said he had no time to teach me anything so everything he had promised was gone.


He didn't do what God had told him.

Than later on did it happen a few time this that the Pastor got messages about me been send from God to USA but they never pick up the message in action even if they told in the Sunday preaching that God had said He had sent me.

Very often did I go out a Sunday and I said to God show me what Church you want me to be in today and I was most in black Churches.


How can a person sent from God ever get a job as a preacher when this person is:

1. Woman

2. White in a black Church

3. Poor, with no jewels on her more than a cross in a chain around her neck

4. With broken but ok English

5. No living in USA


I want you to check with the Bible about how a person should look like for to be a preacher. I had clean clothes but clothes I got from donations in some Churches and I lived in a shelter..

I know who I am and I know I was sent of God to check up what was going on in the churches in USA ( in Virginia Beach area )

If a person like me was coming in to your church and God is telling you that I was send from Him, what should you do ?


One time did God told a Pastor that I had step out from the boat. He looked at me as he didn't knew me and asked me what God was talking about and I said that I have left everything I owned, my country and family and kids for to walk in a country I didn't knew ( USA )

He gave most money a Pastor have given me and it was $60 and he said he should give me everything he owned to me if he was wealthy but I didn't wanted the money in the first place even if I had rent a little house in that time and couldn't pay the rent but in the first place was I in USA to see if any Church gave me a place up on the altar but no church did it so I returned to Sweden.


I heard it sometimes in the church this " think if Jesus come in to our church one day, what should he look like ? "

I don't say I am Jesus but I was like Jesus.... sent of God.


I am a Pastor now but still no Church have asked me to come and be the Pastor in their church.

I was preaching in Churches in USA and my friend, the teacher, said I couldn't the first time as I wasn't from USA and had poor English.


But I said to her that God have promised that if we only open our mouth, He should give us the words.

And I was preaching and people come to me and said they had been healed when I was preaching and some days later people stopped me and said they had heard about me preaching in a church and that people was healed of the words that come out from my mouth because God had done what He have promised, He put words in my mouth because I had walked up on the altar and OPEN MY MOUTH.


So don't think that well speaking people is the best preachers because it take the Holy spirit flowing from the altar that make a REAL preaching...if you not want a teaching Pastor but those teaching Pastors belong to the Bible classes and not on the altar.

And I believe in what I was preaching without any notes ...I only let God talk through my mouth...It doesn't matter what I said because I said before I started to preaching that ....those that have the right ears they hear what God is telling them without I should need to have a correct English. Amen

God make miracles so I suppose He have done it every time I have preached.

( I apologize if I make someone upset by saying "black" Church but I was living most with black people and I come to be one of your sister and as you say black to each other do I feel I can say it too )
