Recusing The Disorderly

Yes, our care for one another within our fellowship is our business, God's business. That is what is under consideration. Paul's instructions apply to beautifying the Bride of Christ and protecting the Anointing on the group. This is a challenge for all, not just leadership. 

When on occasion a resident had to be disciplined and sent away, some of the other residents would gang up on me and condemn my actions. They accused me of "throwing a sheep to the wolves". I would laugh at them. He is a man, not a sheep, and he made his own decisions, as he did right up until he came and asked to be admitted as a resident.

Discipline is always helpful for those who truly have a heart for God. The people who I put out more often than not came back hungrier than ever for the Lord. This is the lasting effects of fellowship in spirit and truth.

Are you homeless?

I think we already saw quite a bit of the winnowing since covid.

I lost a beloved brother in Christ during covid. Because of the federal government's downplaying the seriousness of the virus, New Orleans went on with Mardi Gras and there was a large surge in infections. My good friend was heading back to Virginia after ministering during the festival when he became very ill and died in a hospital in route. If I may, I will lift up his surviving wife and 5 children to continue to prosper and be in good health, even as their soul prospers.

Officially I am a homeless veteran, but I am currently renting a room and living off my social security. I have lived and ministered in homeless shelters and honestly, there is a lot of believers there. They are simply struggling with the "in the world but not of it" idea. Lot's of issues, but also deliverance. Thanks for asking.

I agree we are living in very difficult financial times. The economy is bad.

I live under the government classification of 'extreme poverty' and have learned to be content. I lack nothing, and when the economy got worse during COVID, I got a nice financial shot in the arm by the stimulus checks. I even sent $1000 to my church in La after hurricane Ida hit.

I spent last year at a shelter for Veterans in Prescott, lowering my overhead to about 250/mo., and was able to build my savings, and was even able to send a few hundred to Worthy after the Gaza war began. This is all to the glory of God, for I merely acted in stewardship to what He provided, regardless of what the world might think. Money is something that does not weigh heavily on my heart. Mostly not at all, but at times I am weak and weary and that's when we worry. But I'm all good. And we both can rest assured of the Lord's provision.

Psalm 33:

18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death,
And to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.

Should you ever find yourself in New Mexico and you are in need, let me know.

Thank you for sharing your story with me. You have struggled although God has blessed you.

Praise God! I love NM, Land of Enchantment. And I love the green chiles.

I am your neighbor in AZ, if you ever need an assist, you do the same.

                I continue to say, with the right intentions, you cannot out give the Lord.
It has been our families experience, that it's not the years of comfort, but that it is those lean mean years you get to actually see the hand of the Lord at work in our lives.        And, stewardship is the multiplier!

Thanks, Mr. M
