Love..(CHURCH HURT) AN EMPOWERMENT WORD FROM MIN. JP....(HIS TESTIMONY)

[Minister Eian J. Propst]

Alot of us have been misunderstood about what love really is. Alot of preachers we preach it but we really dont get down the the real basic part of love. Love is very important in the body of Christ little do we know. If you read 1Corinthians 13 the whole entire chapter it kinda let you know about love. Without LOVE what you do means nothing. See we think that just because we are dancing preaching singing and all the other things we do in the body of Christ that we are really doing something. We gotta get the mindset that we gotta love just as Jesus did. As Christians we sometimes find ourselves looking down on others because of the mistakes that they have made and the wrong that they have done. But we are all not perfect no we are not but daily we are suppose to perfect ourselves. We look down on people and not love them through there struggle or there trials because we think we are greater then everyone else and we think that we have never messed up. We are quick to judge and hurt someone else but never wanna turn the mirror on ourselves. So we manipulate the Christians and the Non-Christians just to hide what we are doing in the dark. We wanna cover up our mess so we do everything it takes so that people wont know what we are doing ourselves. (that goes for leaders and lay persons) Just a little of my testimony I have been really church hurt in the pass. I never knew that it was a such thing as church hurt because to me that doesnt sound right and im sure to God it doesnt either. I always had the question How can you be Church Hurt if the church is suppose to be the ones building you up and loving on you in the midst of the very thing that you are going through. Well I got into a very bad situation in my pass and I was going to this church that I thought the people loved me and cared for me. The Lord has spoken to me several time to leave that church because the people in the church really arent who you are betraying them to be. I mean the Lord spoke through different people and everything. For about a year the Lord has been saying to me to remove some people outta my life. I never listened to what he said. So i experienced a great down fall in my life and was hurt and heartbroken. Went to the church for help and those who was so called my friends and those who called me there brother and all that they was never there to help me. In fact contact to them was totally lost from each and everyone of them. In this situation the Lord has shown me that the reason why hell has broken lose in you life was because of the people you was surrounded by. In the Bible Jonah got on the boat running away from Gods assignment and on the boat were several other men. The Lord cause a great storm to hit the boat and the men was so scared at the time and they didnt know what was going on. Its amazing how just because of one person thats outta order in your life that is surrounding you God will cause a storm to come through your life. Jonah being outta the Will of God cause these men trip to become hard. This is whats going on in the body. We wonder why hell is breaking lose in our lives and for some reason things just wont get right. What we have been praying for just wont come to pass. Well if we just release those things and those people that are taking up space in our lives then maybe the Lord can Bless us. Its so amazing that most of our blessings are being held up just because of the wrong people and wrong things. Anywho I feel like preaching now MY GOD!!!!! Love is very important in the BODY OF CHRIST!!!! Why because people come to church to be LOVED and encouraged. There shouldnt be no such thing as CHURCH HURT!!!! NONE!!!!!
