Spirituality Profile: Min. D. A. Wynne
Hi, Christian Friends and Visitors,
Travel prevented me from blogging since the last Tuesday, June 19th blog. Thank you that you did not give up on me. By God's grace, I would never abandon you like that! I pray that you were helped by the "highlights" last week (smile).
Finally, writing from Issaquah, Washington, the Spirit of God is leading me today to provide you with a special blog which I will call "Spirituality and Me". This is a complete profile that will help you know me as you join with me in pursuit of authentic spirituality. Please take time to pray, meditate or whatever you do when you are gearing up to concentrate and obtain real insight. As you read today's Spirituality Blog, it is the beginning of a beautiful and powerful relationship between some of you and myself which I am sure we shall never regret. As I am able ( computer access has been difficult), I will continue to provide you, this week, with special spirituality blogs that develop the human spirit.
This spirituality profile is much different from my Spirituality Blog Profile at the left side of this page. Today's profile is more personal and transparent. The Word of God commands us to know those who labor amongst you. So, I want to be more raw and blunt, because I want relationships in this community that are real = knowing what I think if you are following with me in it.
I have seen a lot in my travels as a minister of Jesus Christ and some things I DO understand:
All that glitters is not gold (Revelation 3:1-3).
Most potential relationships are not real, one party usually has something they are after and you are their means (Philippians 2:20-22). Only God can give real friends.
We cannot avoid personality offenses and misunderstandings (James 3:1-3).
We CAN avoid (and must) contention, strife, despise, disrespect toward one another (Titus 3:1-3).
Contentious, strife-given, despising and disrespectful are the type of people, christians, pastors, and other ministers that I do not even try to build relationships with. This includes persons who claim to be seeking understanding of what you preach, but who secretly already have a position, and just want to 'dialogue' with you (quarrel) to condemn and destroy you. With such persons, you can only be loved by changing to their side.
Trying to socially interchange with such character is a 'thrashing at the air experience' yielding no spiritual profit to anyone. Scripture commands us to avoid wasteful activities, redeeming the time we have left for the days are evil.
1 Corinthians 9:26
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
1 Corinthians 9:25-27 (in Context) 1 Corinthians 9 (Whole Chapter) From www.Biblegateway.com
I get along GREAT with those who are ever seeking to grow in the knowledge of the Truth -- Jesus in the New Testament is that Truth! It is a great and exciting time, always, to be more like JESUS -- his motives, his values, his principles, his passions, his 'spirituality'. Persons who are like the Bereans that told Paul we will search the scriptures and see if these things be so, I enjoy. The Holy Spirit wrote in the Word that the Bereans were 'noble'. That's what I'd like the Father, God to say about me! "She is noble".
The Holy Spirit has used me in His birthing, pausing, stopping, removing, churches in Missouri, Illinois, Oklahoma, California, Washington, and indirectly in others and outside the country. I am the only physical member now, all whom I pastor are persons who come to me by mail and internet and meet in their homes to be trained through my seasonal "Pastor Dee's Letter". Those who were physically with me had all turned or been destroyed by the very cunning work of the enemy. Also, I remember some sins that God judged me for and put my ministry effectiveness on hold as a disciplinary action. Though I be physically desolate today, it is only the fulfillment of God's prophecy upon me way back in 1985 and it is not a permanent situation.
God's word that I am commanded to bring is not desolate, however! It is full and overflowing with spiritual wisdom and spiritual power! Receive it, for your own benefit, whether you do or do not approve of the container He chose to deliver it in -- that would be me.
God's on-time Word to you will always bring you healing, deliverance and peace!Christians Against Christians, oops!
Much of the enemy's work, sorry to say, came through the brethren. Some influential persons who temporarily have the minds of God's people and the public, showed a clear rejection of women in pastoring, of the mission of house churches, of my traveling according to Matthew 10 and 3rd John, of my trial of poverty, often as a result of persecutions that interrupted so many things I started. It's impossible to perform stable employment in a traveling ministry when you are constantly being booted out of some christian's home for standing firm in godliness.
For example ...
Once, I had an apartment, had my job, had started the ministry. Got a call from the landlord one day, saying "I don't feel good about this. I've changed my mind. I don't believe in your ministry and I want you to move out, but I want to help and give you until Thursday. I had just moved me and my luggage in on Monday! All my paychecks from that day went to staying in a motel, trying to keep off the streets, and still getting back and forth to my job. I knew 'nobody' in that city and those I had met through ministry were cruelly against women pastors. Money ran out, no place to sleep, job went -- and I was suddenly out of operation, desolate FOR THE WORD'S SAKE! Allelujah!
2 Timothy 1:15
This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
2 Timothy 1:14-16 (in Context) 2 Timothy 1 (Whole Chapter) From www.Biblegateway.com
I don't think we christians realize the power of what is being revealed here. After about 3 years of suffering, being beaten, being rejected, being accused as false prophets to bring God's word to people in Asia AND getting some success starting churches, Apostle Paul says that he has NOTHING !!! EVERYBODY has turned from me!
Then he mentions "Of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes". Yes, there were amongst those who turned from him some key players who were close to Paul; whom he loved and thought were really with him in his thinking and teaching Jesus. Turns out, not so, they betrayed him.
Similarly for me, either the brethren continuously disobeyed the Lord and left, or I had to put them out for refusing to repent in continuously disobeying the Lord, or persecution shut it down. Twice, in the more than 20 years of laboring, it was I who disobeyed the Lord and I know it was the Holy Spirit that shut things down.
Some of you pastors out there need to know this. Sometimes, it is the enemy hindering your ministry work, but other times, something in your life is offensive to Jesus and HE causes people to stop coming to the church meetings, offerings dwindle, bills can't be paid. Above all -- the Spirit of Jesus is not in your services anymore. It has settled into just a routine. IT'S DEAD. You will keep trying to make it work, but nothing you do is going to restore the Spirit of God, even if you restore the appearance of a thriving congregation. Face it and re-fortify.
I wrote a press release in Tulsa, Oklahoma about dismissing the remaining members and shutting down the church to start from scratch, but the Lord moved me to California, where I hit ... betrayal.
A Pastor was supposed to work with me in building Truth Seekers Church in California. He was strong in the love of God that cares about people's troubles, and treated me as Jesus in good deeds, but most other areas in his life, and in the lives of all those hanging around him were far from the qualifications of 1& 2 Timothy, 1 & 2 Peter and other minister qualities.
We barely got started before his behaviors and the strife that I kept getting pulled into made me shut down official public ministering as Truth Seekers Christian House Churches in California. I did not see myself as walking uprightly enough to be fit to function in the holy office of Minister of Jesus Christ when every, single, day I was in an argument. A lot more ministers need to sit themselves down for a season and get right or stronger with God! Some of you fight or argue every Sunday morning on your way out of the door to preach a sermon. We are dealing with demon powers in the spirit world. There is nothing wrong with humbling yourself to re-fortify!
I was only supposed to be in California for about a year to get one house church started and the other pastor would take it from there. I ended up going back and forth for two years plus! Still no real work on Truth Seekers there, but I was faithfully preaching in Issaquah. Being betrayed will sure waste a lot of your time. It's like starting all over, again and again.
No, I'm not looking for perfect people. I AM looking for 'spirituality', the Spirit of God pursued passionately, " in a dry and thirsty land where no water is".
Psalm 63:1
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
Psalm 63:1-3 (in Context) Psalm 63 (Whole Chapter) From www.Biblegateway.com
By God's grace, I am sent to bring Him a community of christians who want to think, speak, drink, breathe and release the Spirit of Jesus Christ, outside the traditional church building concept in back into the homes and families where christians and others remove their "public face" and live out their "REAL" LIVES.
I have no vanity to seek to be 'worldwide' -- it's just that once you hit the internet you have no choice! The people who contact you concerning the Word of God come from everywhere! So, I expect that the "community" embracing these messages that I write is worldwide.
This commitment also pits those who come with me against the increasingly "Hollywood" and "Rapper" version of Christianity offered through media and that is mesmerizing pastors and other members of the churches.
James 4:4
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
James 4:3-5 (in Context) James 4 (Whole Chapter) From www.Biblegateway.com
The good thing is that, this commitment to think, speak, drink, breathe and release the Spirit of Jesus Christ also makes us persons whom Jesus calls 'friend'.
Christ's Love,
Pastor Dee
