Hi There! 😃
I just need a few quick words with your Pastor. Would you excuse us for a moment? 🫠
🤗

🤨
😠

Okay, LISTEN UP "Ladies" ... ❗️❗️❗️
(😳 gulp)
I became a Christian in 1978 just one month before my 12th birthday
(Oops! 🫢 Accidentally outed my Biological and Christian age on the internet again)
And through all these decades I have told women it is fine to teach the Bible, ☝️ but we haven't the right to tell the men what to do because God has ordained them as our leaders. I have taken a LOT of crap and heat for saying it, but it's in God's Word so that is the way it HAS to be.
But I'm about to rescind that order because you are all in need of a kick in the butt and I'm wearing the boots to do it.
(Pausing to gather thoughts) 😔
I'm a Behaviorist and trained to identify anomalies in human behavior and I've been seeing some very disturbing things from our Christian leaders. Men that I would have declared as "solid" just six years ago.

When Covid shut Church doors many Ministers started to put their sermons online. Suddenly they didn't just have a few hundred Congregants listening to them but gradually grew to have thousands of people listening to them online. That number grew to 10s of thousands and now HUNDREDS of Thousands. 😲
After that their next move was to get a book out as quickly as possible. Then another. Then another.
Then the big announcement,
"I'm stepping down as Pastor in order to focus on my Internet content and YouTube channel."
😖
The beginning of the End for their character as they went off to chase the Carrot on the Stick.
Now EVERYTHING they do has a price tag attached to it.
It was such a short time ago when their sermons were NOT Monetized, they were not constantly selling merchandise and Bible Conferences and Live Streams were F R E E❗️
SO tons of them have turned into money-grubbing, apostate hucksters. The Bible said it would it happen in these End Times, so it doesn't come as a huge surprise to me. I'm not going to waste a bunch of my precious time on them.
But what I do wish to address are the few men who are still Pastors of churches and putting out sermons. They wish to hold the line but they are sliding away fast due to strain and fatigue.
One major sign I've recently seen is Pastors increasingly becoming forgetful and scatterbrained and mixing up people's names. I just saw a sermon where the Pastor kept mixing up Rebekah and Rachel.
Another one kept saying Solomon when he meant Samson.
And they are all getting Bible references wrong.
Sometimes they will even forget where the Bible event took place.
Or they are going off their topic and interjecting rants about politics, antisemitism, communism, fascism, Tucker selling out to Qatar and Candace being insane.
Ministers are so incredibly agitated they can no longer stand still behind their pulpits but pace around yelling.
You are all looking and sounding like ranting, hyper LUNATICS❗️

(sigh 😣)
Look, Pastor, I get it. You have tons of demands on you and a LOT of people relying on you. You realize Jesus's return is close and you are feeling the intensity of purpose and dwindling time and are desperate to keep your Followers doctrinally correct, but the greatest contribution you can make to those who follow you is to remain
C A L M.

I was thinking of great military leaders of recent wars. They were leading men into active combat and frontline situations and they just didn't have the luxury of FREAKING out because people were depending on them, watching them and feeding off of their vibes.
What do you think it does for your church members to see your sermons filled with mistakes, you constantly forgetful, peevish, and HAVING a meltdown!
It's extremely frightening for us.
Let's get practical❗️
When I see a Minister fretful and forgetful I know the time they spend in in their Prayer Closet is the problem. They are not spending enough time in the presence of the "Prince of Peace" and it is affecting everything in their lives.
If you cannot preach the Word or give a talk in a clear, concise manner that inspires confidence in Jesus, you need to spend more quiet prayer time to focus on the Lord before you hit the stage or get in front of a camera.
You also need to preserve at least one ☝️day a week where you completely disconnect from the Internet for 24 hours. ALL devices off❗️No exceptions. Most Pastors have Sundays as their busiest day of the week so they preserve Monday to completely close up shop. Trust me, the World will keep revolving and the Universe unfolding without you for a day.
If you find you cannot do what I say, then you are already past any help I can give you and need to seek professional help before you Crash and Burn.
Stop acting like a little girl who has her petticoats on fire. We are enduring some evil, confusing and tumultuous days, there are more to come and
... we need you, Pastor.
(Oh. And let's not tell the Women-Folk what we discussed or I'll never hear the end of it.)
Okay. Here's your Pastor back. Good as new.
The Truth with Love,
Always Laura-Lee

"What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer.
O what peace we often forfeit
O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer."
