Kevin Terry: How I feel

Hey guys. I was online a couple of weeks ago, googling for some information. And I saw that this one website was talking about a gospel artist named Kevin Terry. And the information that they displayed on their website shocked me a bit because it was an allegedly Christian website. I was in shock about what was being wrote about this brother. At first, I didn't believe it because I know how "us" can be. But then people were saying that everything was true. Okay, fine. But here is the thing: those of us who called ourselves Christians were and are acting extremely unChrist like. Well, what do you mean by that? Glad you asked. When a brother of ours falls, the Word says that we are to be there to pick him up. By no means should we condone the sin but we are to be there to cover our brother and help him. I am not saying turn a blind eye. Not at all. But don't beat our brother down. The world was already doing that. So why should we do it? Okay, he made a mistake. He made a mistake. But guess what? Who hasn't? It breaks my heart to see people who love the title of Christian but never living it. And for some reason, we got this thing in our heads that if we insult, bully and scrutinize people, they will come out of their sin. Guess what? They won't. As a matter of fact, the spirit or spirits that come out of your mouth will strengthen the spirit or spirits already on them. Since people need scripture, go check out James 3: 1-12. You think that people don't already feel awful for what they have done? Sure, they do. Never let no one fool you. They maybe saying that what you say don't hurt them but it does. You may never see it but it does. Am I saying that we should sit back and condone sin? Absolutely not! That's our problem now! But I am saying we need to learn how to handle things with tact because looking at what church folks have said about this brother we clearly don't know how to do that. Whenever you devote time and energy to kill another person whether by website, blog or YouTube, something is wrong with your spirit. I won't say your Holy Ghost because the Holy Ghost don't act like that. We know that! We all know that! I don't care what you church folk say. Lift Kevin up in prayer and stop talking about Him like he is lower than dirt. You know what church folks(Saints, this ain't for y'all. Y'all good.)? You will be judged by God for what you did to Kevin and what you did not. Watch your mouth and your step. This man may have to end up laying before God for your very soul. So watch how treat him and anybody else like him.

Mr. Kevin Terry....you keep your head up, brother. Let church folk say what they say. Us Saints are praying for you. You know what...this is what God gave me concerning your situation. Whenever you make a decision to totally live for God, everybody is not going to like it. People, as you can tell, get down right malicious. People lose their minds because they can no longer be your God. As long as you did what they did, said what they said, acted how they acted, they were all right with you. But when God starts to call you out of your situation and heed His call, they want to keep you a clone. Following the masses like they are. But God be thanked that you chose not to do that. And to me, it's evident that you chose not to do that. Because the persecution. Yes, it's embarrassing. Shamful and shaming. But God is refining you. He's making you the man that He says that you are. You are in transition and process right now. You are going to come out as pure gold though. And even your choir has got to go through. If not, they are going to have to leave. Because on this next go round, there won't be any hiding or fluff. The anointing is going to come forth for real and not just the gift. Paul said "it was good that I was afflicted". It's good, Kevin. It's good. You are now even more qualified to be the choir director, singer and songwriter that you are because you have gone through. You are going to be all right. You're going to be alright. We're praying for you, bro. And us Saints love you.

Jesus is for EVERYBODY!

Hey everybody. With this month being all about love and such, I think I want to deal with love in another way. And the way I want to deal with it is by talking about our personal testimonies. We all know that through God's love and grace that He has saved us. Right? Well, if you don't, now you do.  :) Jesus paid the price for all of our sins by dying on the cross. You get it? Okay. So why then do we who have been redeemed by His blood act like we have never done nothing wrong? Or why do we throw our noses up in the air when someone else gets saved? Let me explain. I saw a video on YouTube saying that Tonex has come back to God after leading a homosexual lifestyle. He rededicated his life back to God at Dorinda Clark-Cole's Singers, Musicians, and Arts Conference in August of 2013. Now for those that found out about it such as myself were ecstatic about his deliverance. We had been praying that God would bring him back home. And praise God He did. But then you have the people I like to call "The Others". The Others are mad that he has given his life back to God. Actually upset that he wants to be the vessel God has called him to be. THEY ARE MAD ABOUT THIS! Now mind you, these were the same people who were allegedly praying withe rest of us for his deliverance. How you get upset when somebody that you have been praying for gets saved, finally does get saved? Is there something I'm missing here? Am I wrong? Y'all, the same love the Jesus used to bring you into Himself should be the same love that we extend to other people. Jesus' love is not limited to just one group of people. It is for everybody! Not just us! Ja Rule got saved during the filming of "I Fell In Love With A Church Girl" and some people are mad about that! Really people? Really? The ones we say need Jesus, they get him and we mad about it? Jesus is not a toy! The Word declares we are to share this gospel with the world. The world, y'all. Let us truly start loving the people Jesus saves and welcome them with open arms. And stop trippin'! I have been hollerin' all over the place but this subject has gotten on my nerves and needed to address it. :) Whew....I think I am done now.  :) Talk to you guys soon.
