To Those Who Were Left Behind
Many have left and others may still be leaving this place that we believed with all our hearts was a church, but in one man’s heart it was an opportunity of gain. Gain for himself and those who was closest to him. Only God and this man knew what the agenda that he had in his mind from the day that it opened. We followed this man with the belief and hope that we were doing God’s will. We prayed daily with this man, going to him and believing he had access that we long to have with God. In the beginning we trust him with everything. Our job, money, homes, spouses, children and even our lives. He spoke the words so eloquently and with authority that we believed the things that he said. Some followed him whole heartedly and lived on his every word. Others believed that this man would lead them to a better life. While others even believed that he would lead them to heaven, because of his so-called right living in their eyes. There was some that believed that this man could do no wrong. People walked with him hoping that what he had would rub off on them. And guess what, it did, but not in the way that they hoped. This man’s goodness was as the Bible said it was as filthy rags. Only those closest to him was able to see his lies and manipulative ways that he used amongst the congregation. This man became a friend to some, a big brother to some, a father to others, and eventually to those who were left behind, a god.
And for those who would not surcome to his devilish ways was made and outcast before the congregation or thrown out of the church. So those who remain are the ones that our heart and prayers go out to almost daily. The ones that are still there have no hope if they remain. They have replaced the true and living God with a man made god. Their very existence depends on this man. He owns their cars, houses, money, spouses, and even their lives. They cannot go anywhere without this man knowing where they are going, when, and why. And he wants to exactly when they are to return. If they do not return as expected, this man will send people to not only look for them but hunt them down to bring them back. Those that are still following this man today are family and friends of those who have already left the so-called church. We as the family and friends are hoping and waiting for the day when the ones who are left behind will come out.
We all started out believing we were following God, only to find out that we were really following a man. Not a man of God. Our prayer is that the ones left behind will call on the true and living God and ask for his help to see the truth. As we left, so can those who remain. Nothing will happen when you leave this so-called church. You walked by faith when you came, where is the faith when you leave. God will not leave you alone. He loves you and want to help you in all.
God has said, “You have not because you ask not.” So, ask and be set free. We are and have been praying for you all.
There are two ladies that my heart longs to see again is Pamela Robertson I have known her since age 13. I am praying for her and hopefully I will see her soon. Her mom longs for her return. The other lady is Victoria Vieira, a sweet caring soul. I hate that she is still there, and I hope to see her soon as well. Also, Jakia and her family and her mom. I look forward to hearing from you all as well.
