The House Of Prayer (part 1)

I am amazed at the workings and moving of God.
How he leads us and directs us, if we have the courage to walk by faith and not sight. Some time he wants to change direction, but being creatures of habit, we resist, stall, and some times just say no.
The Church, can sometimes be it's own worst enemy. If you step out of line, you become an outsider, a rebel. But the Word says God is love. Love will sometimes cause you to move out of the "status Que" to accomplish it's end. Now that HOPDC has finished it's course, there are many who don't understand what God was doing with this Ministry. You must remember, everything has it's own purpose. Not everything was meant to last forever. Why is it, seemingly in our Churches, that, if your a man you are either a deacon or a preacher/pastor. If your a woman your an evangelist. You can not move beyond that, even though there are some women who flat out preach, have excellent organizational  and leadership skills, and where would a lot of Ministries be, if it weren't for the sisters!  If you do something different, you must have fallen, messed up or did something wrong. How about, your assignment was finished. Your still saved, still love the Lord, but they don't know where to put you. Or the standard prophecy is, God gonna give you a building. My, My. Could this be the reason we have no black church scholars, no teachers, no learned academics as others do?

If I sound angry, I'm not. HOPDC had a specific assignment, for a specific time and place. What you learned and acquired should not be lost, but used as you progress towards the mark. A good analogy would be: of the old man in a club, still trying to dance when his time is far gone. He becomes nothing more than an amusement, a joke. There are some Ministries like that. Non productive, but unable to quit, because their identity is no longer in God, but in their ministry. Don't believe me, visit some, and you will see for yourself. This should not be. We must stop starting over from the beginning, over and over again.
 I have decided to write this blog to help explain what HOPDC was and is and continue to always be. It had a purpose, a God given agenda, which was accomplished.

To be continued..........
