MY PASTOR

Proverbs 27: 1 and 2

"Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips."


WHAT BIRTHED THIS POST IS, WHILE I WAS READING MY BIBLE, THESE SCRIPTURES SCREAMED OUT AT ME. ALL I COULD THINK WAS " THAT SCRIPUTE SPEAKS OF PASTOR KING, AND OUR YOUTH PASTOR MARK KING."
IN MY 23 YEARS LIVING FOR GOD, I CANNOT RECALL ONE UTTERANCE FROM MY PASTOR LIFTING HIMSELF UP.

WHEN I THINK OF PASTOR KING, WORDS COME TO ME LIKE; HUMBLE, BROKEN, KIND, LOVING, FORGIVING, LONGSUFFERING, ANOINTED, MAN OF GOD, PROPHETIC, GENEROUS, INTELLIGENT, ELOQUENT, FUNNY, LOVER OF CHILDREN.

I COULD ADD SO MANY MORE QUALITIES IN MY PASTOR....I MAY AGAIN ANOTHER TIME.

I JUST WANT TO WRITE MY HEART TODAY! GOD BROUGHT PASTOR KING TO CALGARY, TO BE THE CALIBRE OF MAN OF GOD, THAT I NEEDED.
I WAS (hopefully still not) SO HEAD STRONG, DISILLUSIONED, IN YOUR FACE TYPE OF PERSON; GOD KNEW WHO TO PLACE IN CALGARY TO REACH ME. IF PASTOR KING WERE NOT THE CALIBRE OF MAN HE IS; I WOULD HAVE SNIFFED HIM OUT AND LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN GONE.

ALL I CAN SAY IS; HE IS PERFECT IN CHRIST. I WILL FOLLOW HIM AS HE FOLLOWS CHRIST.
YOU CAN AND MAY SAY; " he is just a man!". I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I SAY! I FIND NO FAULT. I MEAN NO FAULT!
PASTOR KING HAS MADE THE PATH SO CLEAR OF CLUTTER FOR ME TO FOLLOW, HIS TEACHING AND PREACHING BASED SOLEY ON THE WORD OF GOD; HAS MADE IT SO EASY FOR ME.

I LOVE THAT MY PASTOR WILL NOT BE BOUGHT. THAT IS BIG TO ME! THE MESSAGE HAS NEVER CHANGED, NOT ONE WORD!

IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW,,,,,,,, I LOVE THIS LIFE SO VERY MUCH, I LOVE MY THREE CHILDREN TOO MUCH, I LOVE MY PASTOR AND HIS WIFE SO VERY MUCH. I LOVE THEIR THREE CHILDREN SO VERY MUCH.
I LOVE PREACHING, THE WORD OF GOD, SOULS, CHURCH, WORSHIP, ALTER WORK, YOUNG PEOPLE, ELDERLY PEOPLE.

I FOUND MY LIFE AND PURPOSE. BEFORE GOD I WAS MERELY EXISTING, LIVING WITH A GREY CLOUD OVER MY HEAD FOLLOWING ME EVERYWHERE I WENT.

TO HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, BAPTISED IN JESUS NAME, EMBRACING HOLINESS, BEING SO BLESSED TO BE UNDER THE WONDERFUL LEADERSHIP OF PASTOR JOHHNY KING,,,,,,,,,, GOD IS TOO GOOD TO ME!

AGAIN, I WILL FOLLOW THIS GODLY MAN AS HE FOLLOWS CHRIST,,,, UNTIL I LAY MY HEAD DOWN AND I'M IN MY BOX...

THANK YOU PASTOR KING, FOR BEING THE PASTOR YOU ARE!

You are right Star! I just had to express what was in my heart at that moment. Words can fail to express my feelings so often.

I had not thought of it quite like that, but you are right, I believe Pastor King is one of Gods favorites.

i've always thought Pastor King as a Father Figure he never sesise amaze me

and yes i know its wrong but u know what im saying

merbear said...

I totally understand what you mean Jerm.
I think of him as a spiritual father, and I am older than Pastor King,,, Go figure that one out.

That is great you think of him as fatherly. He would be happy about that, I believe.

Jerms said...

I Know he would, I only said that because its TRUE!
