“Letting Go was Not Easy”

Letting go of church was not easy for me. I loved my church! I loved the people, they preacher, I loved everything about my church. What I found was that I was NOT being spiritually fed what I needed to be being fed to get to the relationship that I needed to have with the Lord. Yes the preacher was on fire, yes I loved the sermons, but I did not love dying slowly from not being fed what I needed to survive. Things that I was never taught until coming to RMI. I will share with you a few of those things.

First and most important. I was not taught tithing~ I was taught that it was okay to give what you could after you paid your bills. This is dangerous since you are opening yourself up to be stolen from.

Second, I was told that divorce was okay because of adultery. Well that did not sit right even before I found RMI. I knew that was not what God wanted.

Third, It can cause double-mindedness, You can be given different teachings than what you need to be learning if you truly want to have your marriage restored. RMI teaches large doses of the truth that you are not being fed in your church right now.

Fourth, it teaches obedience. If your husband is not going with you then you are taking his role as the spiritual leader of your home. This is his rightful role and his responsibility not YOURS. If you have children then you should teach them what you are learning. SG on what to teach them. You are their teacher teach them and guide them with parts of what you are learning. ~ The obedience part comes in by obeying your spiritual authority, your husband, or the preacher. You don't want to be under the spiritual authority of a preacher/church that isn't feeding you what you need to be fed.

A true relationship with God does not require you going to church or taking your children to church. It is found by seeking Him and obeying Him no matter the cost. So when people tell you that you need to go to church, thank them for thinking about you and tell them when the time is right you will be back.

You have to make a decision in your life and for your children's lives. You have to decide what is more important. A family restored or going to church. Your church family is just like everyone else that has your best interest in mind, but it can also be tainted with the ways of the world and your are in a vulnerable position to be swayed off the narrow road.

SG and allow Him to lead you, let Him be your spiritual leader in your home. Obey your authorities, even if it isn't what you want. Fast and pray about it. But decide if you are going to stand at the edge of the sea or if you are going to jump in over your head and allow the Lord to keep you above water.
