"And Jesus said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old." ~ Matthew 13:52 (NASB)
"Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor. Therefore, if a man cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. Now flee from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love {and} peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart." ~ 2 Tim 2:20-22
Homeschool Brings FAITH Back Into Education!
Homeschooling by Faith... is believing that God will provide what your children need to learn. Stepping out in Faith, asking Him for a schedule... asking Him what subjects to teach... asking Him what shall my kids learn today...
I wanted to journal of my latest adventure with the Lord. It is something that I have been unable to speak for some time now. However, I believe that I am now allowed to share this with you.
I journaled much about my trip to Tennessee and how God flew open the doors and really laid out the red carpet. I am here to tell you the continuation of this story.
Without going into much detail, the Lord led me to discover one of the ladies in leadership had lesiban DVD's on her bookshelf. This devastated me! I have always been the one of said "let people alone... they aren't bothering me... blah, blah, blah", but the Lord wouldn't let me leave it alone!! This ate at me!!!
After three days of turmoil, I went into the Church office and sat with the Pastor. He asked me if she offended me. I said "no." He asked me if she made a pass at me or if I felt uncomfortable around her; and I said, "no." Then, he said that only because she had them on her bookshelf doesn't mean she watches them so we can't condemn her. There was no guarantee that she watches them anymore.
I went numb! I was shocked to say the least. I imagine from my "stupid" look on my face.... made him elaborate and told me more. He told me that he knew about it and that two years ago when she came to the Church, she had told him. She went through "Celebrate Recovery" and made a "celibacy vow" not to be in another relationship until she was ready to make a decision.... a decision to give it up. This lady was in leadership!
Because of the sin being exposed they (him and his wife) told her she had to step down from her leadership role in the church. However, she continued her duties as the Secretary.
Within a month, the enemy through the congregation of this Church came against me and my daughter. I don't want to get into a lot of detail as it is not necessary. I turned in my keys because I could no longer be a part of a Church who condone just behavior.
During that month, I spent a lot of time with the Lord. I couldn't understand why He took me there and things kept happening.... meeting after meeting.
The morning that I turned in the Church keys, the Lord told me to do it and I also feel that He told me the things that will be said is not from Him. He told me to take it for Him. I quickly understood what that meant!
When I walked into the office, there sat three women and two men that represented three families in the Church. The accusations went flying at me. I could feel the darts in my spirit-man. It hurt. I grieved deeply within me. I felt an angel of the Lord held his hand over my mouth ... I couldn't speak. Their vomit came forth! In my mind, Scripture was rolling...."No weaponed formed against me shall prosper" and "The LORD is my defender."
Through the tears, I laid the key upon the table, and walk out of the Church, there was such a "release" in the spirit. Joy overwhelmed me! He clearly told me "It is OVER" as I was walking out to get into my truck.

EQUIPPING THE NEXT GENERATION
To reach the children of this generation with the true power of the living God to satisfy their natural hunger for the supernatural life before the enemy gives them a false satisfaction of being lovers of pleasure and not lovers of God.
