Honesty and Truth...

[Ambassador for Christ]

I want feedback on this one y'all!!!

 

People come to church for comfort and answers!! We know Jesus is the answer to all issues, weights...But what about the ministers of God that look for someone to be confidential with concerning struggles or issues they are dealing with themselves??? More times than often, Men and Women of the faith don't feel comfortable enough to share personal issues for the mere fact of feeling like they are protecting themselves from secret scourage and the repeating of that issue to anyone else other than the one who proposed the issue initially...

 

So, my question is..Do you as an Apostle, Prophet, Prophetess, Minister of Music, Teacher, Preacher...consider yourself confidential when it comes to the issues brought to you as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ? Would you look at a Man or Woman of God, who is anointed and appointed, chosen, to do God's work, look at them in another light? Would the thoughts cross your mind that "This person isn't who they say they are", "They don't have no power if they struggling with that", "They operating under a heavy mantle and keep fallin like that?? They ain't got no real power"....would this be you?

 

I open this discussion for responses.....

Praise the Lord everybody.  Well for me God told me to remain transparent that is what will carry the anointing and free those who are going through the same thing.  God desires truth in the inward parts.  I have to be first honest with myself.  To thine ownself be true.  God knows, but I share with God and he cleanses me and make me whole again.  I have a mighty support group who is in it with me to love, support, and encourage me in prayer.  There will always be some Judas's however if they find out something about me it will be because I am forever transparent and I dont play games with who I am.  I am a woman in recovery and mighty in the kingdom.  People need to know the real you.  I have experienced people acting or portraying one image and was struggling.  Not that they have to tell me what they are doing or going through but just be human, simple and honest.  Not being in their hearts a secret keeper and condemn you for what you are doing.  I have to accept people, pastors, preachers and the like the same.  Because at the end of the day it aint about how they living but How am I being honest, open minded and willing to be transparent and understanding.  So often we judge verses doing what the bible says about praying.  Just because a person has a "title" doesnt make them exempt from falls, mistakes and drama.  I too am called in God, But I press and work hard daily walking in love with my sisters and brothers in Christ.  Yes I can be that person asking those question above if i take the focus off of me, I can be that person judging if I stop taking alook at where God brought me from.  We must remain humble and remember, and in gratitude to God pray for self and others that we not stray from the faith.  great topic woman of God Be encouraged.
