Stand!: They don't really know your heart

[Pastor Michael Samuels]

In ministry, you will be ridiculed, misunderstood, misjudged, lied on and talked about. The source is demonic. The devil will use family, friends, associates, church members, husbands, wives, children and others to discourage you, to steal, kill and to destroy. Many people and family members do not know your true heart and motives. Don't worry about them. Hand them over to God.Be encouraged! Stand on your faith and know your own heart. I pray that God will immediately vindiacte not only myself but everyone who reads this blog.

Let us pray for each other fervently. Those who have been on the backside of the mountain for years and perhaps decades, this is your season to come forth and shine. Ask God for His wisdom and guidance as you come forth in all boldness and truth. Victory is ours In Jesus name...

Please share your story or thoughts...

Well.,.its usually those in the church who judge you quicker than those in the world. Wheat and Tares....LOL. It amazes me how many in the church, from pastors to members will use the word to judge folks without knowing the heart, motives or intent of a persons heart. I am writing a book called, ARROGANCE. God gave it to me several months ago. It will deal with the arrogance of man and how God hates it. It also will deal with individuals and how we should be quicker to judge ourselves before we judge, critic others. God hates arrogance. Somehow mankind has put himself in the place of God. It is sad. We all must strive daily to be humble. Sometimes I think that people forget that we will individually stand before God and give an account of our thoughts, lives and words (Me included)...It makes you think. Thank you Minister Yolanda

Amen .. I am really feeling this because oftentimes, we get discouraged on this journey that we have chose to walk with the Lord . This blob just reminded me , that people are quick to judge you on appearace but they dont know the depths you had to go through to get where you are in God . So, they (the naysayers ) really don't know your heart . Bless you Man of God for another gem .

Pastor...Thanks for the post. You verbalized the pain that I often experience when people don't take the time to become acquainted with my heart. Being misunderstood has been the hardest thing for me to deal with in ministry. I have finally come to accept that God will reveal my heart to the ones that He has chosen. It is less pain when He motivates others to perceive the matters of my heart. God knows....
Blessings and peace unto you and your family!
