It is frustrating that you force me to banish you from my life for insistence that only your rules must be acknowledge and followed. For this is recipe for disaster with a Pastor serving Jesus by conviction of God’s Holy Spirit. You ignored every warning, every call to caution, every appeal to listen and obey God’s direction instead insisting/demanding and slandering this Pastor to follow your lead. I cannot argue this out of you. I want nothing from you but it is just plain sad that I must step away from you permanently because I would not/cannot follow your worldly agenda. Such loss of opportunity, possibility and union in the Spirit.

Every mistake, every step I counseled to follow a simple, slow process that allowed the necessary flexibility to hear and respond to God’s Guidance. For without God’s guidance we are left to our own plans, our own power our own limitations in achieving anything. When we say at outset that we are here for sole purpose of being a Body together knowing that through God’s Power alone we may achieve His Will then there is no argument. Why then were there arguments at all? Clear that the primary understanding and commitment to God’s will was never established. For that I apologize because I should have intervened must earlier saving us the pain of proceeding down the path we walked.

It is not my job to argue with a change anyone, the Holy Spirit convicts us of what God wants changed and when we listen it all operates smoothly, granted with the challenges that He wishes to guide us through. That never happened, instead both of us as Pastor and Parishioner were forced to morph, silence or conform to expectations that were unnecessary and foolish. I told you what God was directing me to do as a Mission’s Pastor. You did not agree and exerted control reaching for the bullet Points on your own Mission statement. I should have ended contact at that point realizing what came next and as it progressed it should have been anticipated and stopped. I am sorry to God and the Body that I did not step away before trying to comply, argue or proceed in silence. Backing away from anticipated/acknowledged snare it wisdom in Proverbs.

Be aware any who come into this ministry with alternative requirement or expectation that you will not be allowed to continue. This Pastor is answering God’s Call and His Alone upon this heart, mind and book of ACTS. I am sorry that I was never the right Pastor, Friend or Council that you sought. Remember I said that from the beginning and should have listened alone to God and what I knew to be truth as we both brought damage and unnecessary strife to the Body of Christ in our spiteful words, argument and departure from God’s will in attempt to fulfill some human agenda. However, we wish to color it to suit our cathartic need any departure from God’s Will is service to self and the enemy’s of God. I cannot be controlled by funding, misunderstood Agape or deception for God is on the Throne and will not allow the anointed to continue in this faulty service. He warned me and the end should have been immediate and voluntary on my part as I was hearing His conviction regardless of how each deemed his own service self-righteous and necessary. Forgive me for this lesson learned through painful instruction by His Spirit. May that conviction/chastisement never be necessary again. Thank you Father. May they go in peace and be Known by You always.
