Have you ever had dust on your feet?
This morning I woke to thought, recalling as my mind turned to an old book called Greater Works, His pages I once was opportune to walk through by His grace.
In 2013, I had seen so much in this building, and God would not let me go.
He held me tightly, and I was squeezed to do right.
I said Yes to His will.
At the three-year mark, I had cried a river to Him called, "What about Your people" and He responded what about them as I interceded in the place His people gathered.
This one Sunday, as the Lead Intercessor, I cried out and walked the floors as His command led me.
I was so burdened with seeing veils on their faces that I asked Him to remove them.
Sunday morning, I was crying Niagra Falls facing the wall (true story), and I said, Master, what about Your people?
I asked Him this as I was weeping.
He says sternly what about them?
I say, Father, they are being deceived; the leader is misleading the congregation.
I asked how they would know.
He said why don't they seek me as you have?
He said my scripture said to test the spirit(1 John 4:1).
He continued to say they are taking a man's word; am I not more significant than the speaker?
I was so stunned at His response that I stopped crying and wondered why didn't they seek God more, for more--didn't they really desire Him, or were they satisfied with a watered-down version that left them thirsting.
It was not transforming lives; it was traumatizing them.
I know and don't say this to bring harm but to help anyone crying out for the truth.
Great hurt comes from knowing firsthand because the Pastor directed them to me after service as the Elder of the assembly.
No one wanted to talk to the now Overseer, and the One ordained over the congregants thought:
No one can go against what He told me.
Leaders and Lay members came to me concerned, and I would take it to God.
The Prophet of the house confessed that none of them would go against her and said he knew God sent me.
This was told to me as soon as I joined.
I didn't even understand what God had me there for. I simply said YES.
This is true.
I was so hurt they were scared to speak the truth to a coarse leader, which is necessary when God says to be because the course calls for it, not because one has an issue.
My Pastor just taught on this subject.
Multiple Apostles and other fold ministries tried to advise, but it was not taken.
I was a witness and also had witnesses.
I walked away from it, feeling defeated, still crying to God about His sheep even though I had left.
Fast forward to a year later, I am now about to have major life-threatening surgery, and God is telling me: I have work for you after you settle this.
Four months after slowly recovering, He had counseled me and held me captive in my own home, preparing me to go back out, but I was crying, asking Him to use someone else; this was not an easy task.
Someday, I am about to be discharged to return to work.
Literally, I am walking back into my spiritual assignment as well without even realizing it.
Sometimes we are the last to know, especially when you talk to Sovereignty every day; you become so wrapped in His love that the whine is so beneath His welcome that it's unrecognized until you are deep inside the well getting the water He has asked you for, you are not just sitting to have a conversation, you are in love with His request and will do anything for Him.
I'm in New Orleans for my release from Oschner, and He navigates me to a hair salon in a Department mall and tells me to sit until I show you who I sent you here for.
TRUE STORY, APOSTLE CAROLYN was a disguised stylist waiting on me even though we never met.
This has been my life with Him.
After about two hours of waiting and being asked can we help you?
Who are you waiting on?
What are you getting today?
I eventually said, Lord, I look like a fool sitting here; HE said you are a fool for me, but they don't know you don't know who I am directing you to.
Wait.
Finally, around the corner came a petite person, and He said that's my servant; get her service.
WOW.
She says, can I help you?
I respond yes, ma'am, I have been waiting for you.
She washes my hair and styles as I talk to God without her knowing, and THEN she says I have a word from the Lord for you.
Here we go: She said the place you just left, God is sending you back to tell the Leader the word He put in your mouth.
Did you guess?
I am crying Niagra Falls's second waterfall, the one no one sees on the bottom floor near the Ocean.
Do you see me yet?
Did I tell you I can't swim?
She said God had given this to you to do; if the leader does not receive what He has said, the ministry will not remain; HE will part it like He did the Red Sea with Moses.
(Exodus 14:15)
Do you know I left that place without telling a soul what happened.
TRUE STORY.
DO YOU KNOW IT HAPPENED JUST AS APOSTLE CAROLYN SAID.
I AM LIVING WITNESS, WITH WITNESSES.
Matthew 18:15-20, this happened and He was in the midst of us.
God's Apostle did not know before meeting her that while God would tell me to address the Leader, I would say I don't have the right to do this.
You placed this person in a position.
Who am I to say this?
My life was wrecked with hearing God, years of hearing Him speak so clearly.
Burdened with a heart that loved humanity so much they couldn't fathom, neither could I NOW, knowing BECAUSE He allowed me in.
Little did this Apostle know the Leader referred to herself as a Moses of that day.
In the scripture, Moses struck the rock and didn't speak to it as the Lord instructed;
THIS WAS THE STANCE BEING USED TO HANDLE THE PEOPLE.
After being grieved with this as He was, I went with a witness.
I repeated as He said, and the leader agreed to all I told her I heard the Lord say, which was her errors.
Refusing to change, the leader said I have a question.
When will you take your position back?
WOW.
I cried; the leader didn't understand God's instruction's severity.
I said God didn't tell me to return; He asked you to do this and that.
I was put out of that church for not taking a position God had removed me from due to the Leader's disobedience.
He already knew what she would do.
HE WAS REVEALING TO ME WHO HE CALLED ME TO BE, AND FOR ME TO SEE HIS CHOICE.
I say this so humbly even being led to write this on His Sabbath, this Saturday.
Once I walked out of the building, the Lord said, dust your feet.
Today you have become my disciple.
As I sat in my vehicle and cried so hard, my heart shattered.
I am teary as I type.
The Prophet with me wept too.
I have a question.
Do you love Him?
If you do, I beg you, please obey and allow what He asked of you.
It is for your good and to prevent harm from His disappointment in what He appointed you to do.
Go in His peace.
It is here for all of us as we carry out His Great Commission.
Can I make a plea with you, please don't disobey or ignore as He has kindly asked me to do from past experiences, live for HIM without regret ~if at all possible.
If you love Him as I believe you do, please take it from me; not following Him hurts so much.
Sometimes we are so ashamed of not being a better human to Him who made and created everything, especially us.
God has chosen some amazing leaders everywhere in His Earth, there is much work to do.
Gladden, will you bless Him and be a delight to Him?
Enrapture know this; God wants no one to miss His opportunity to love; it conquers all.
Will you, with all your heart, look at LOVE AGAIN?

Yes ma’am. The problem was me thinking I didn't have the right. The only liberty I didn't have was not obeying God with how He instructs. My message is to the questioner to Obey! To the curious heart, just accomplish what God says respectfully and with His love. Love you, momma, Jacq!!
Nothing wounds deeper than a church hurt - attack by God’s person/people. The cure is to give it to Him quickly and pray for the attacker(s) to be set free from their bondage. Then resist the enemy everyday as he tries to reopen the wound. He will eventually give up. Keep the armor on because paths will cross and the light of Christ in you must shine brightly. Lived and learned!!!
