Is it the man or the message?

Posted by Sisters of Virtue on December 31, 2008 at 2:39 PM

 

 

Before I came to the Lord at the age of 28 I attended many churches.  Throughout the whole experience I would often ask one question, “If a man is preaching the word of God shouldn’t he be living it?”  Many times I would get the response “It's not the man, it's the message”. This concept or way of thinking just did not sit well with me.  Then Yahweh blessed me to get a job at a call center in Dallas, Texas. On this particular day I received a call and the customer asked to speak to Harvey Washington.  I located Harvey Washington to tell him of the phone call and when I walked away from him I began to shake my head and say to myself this man is so nice.  I had no idea that this was holiness shining through as I did not yet know the ways of God. 

 

 

Two years later the Lord blessed me to be on the same team with Harvey Washington and one day I was speaking about the Lord and I happened to look over at him and I noticed a grieved but caring look on his face.  It was the face of a father who wants to help his child so again it was the Spirit of Yahweh shining through.  I said, “Harvey, what’s wrong, you don’t agree with what I am saying”?  Then he said to me “what you are saying sounds like bible however, it isn’t.”  Then he rolled his chair to where I was and began to expound on the word of God more perfectly.  He showed me Acts 2:38 and after that I visited the Infallible True Church of Yahshua the Messiah and was baptized the same day.  It was not many days later after hearing that first message of truth that the very same question, that haunted me for so many years, entered my mind. 

 

 

If a man is preaching the word of God shouldn’t he be living it?

 

 

Glory be to Yahweh I had finally gotten an answer that was pure and honest and I know that flesh and blood could not have revealed the answer to this profound question.  Yes, if a man says that he has been called by Yahweh he should practice what he preach.  The man of God is not known by the words that he speaks only, but he is known by his fruits.  It is the deeds of a man that tells us all about him.  It is only in the house of Yahweh where you can find preachers that are living epistles.  Apostle Harvey Washington as well as our other Bishops is living witnesses that it is not the man alone, or the message alone but it is the manner of man that delivers the message that cause people to turn from their sins and that man must be an example to the believer!

 

 

Peace be unto you!

 

 

Love,

Praise Yahweh, I truly believe just as we parents say. Do as I say and must lead by example for our kids, even more so should a man of God speaking the word of God also have fruits to follow. Truly I know that we have men of Yahweh that don't only preach the word of God, but also live by it and the reason I know is because by the word of Yahweh and by the examples they have set before me I was able to wait on Yahweh to bring my husband home after 6 1/2 years of waiting patiently on the Lord. I was ridiculed and called stupid, but I was taught the will of Yahweh is not to commit adultery, by men of Yahweh who have one wife and live by example. Now I can truly say our marriage is much better than it has ever been and we just celebrated 14 years of marriage. Glory be to Yahweh in the highest.!!!!

Thanks for sharing the link, but unfortunately it seems to be offline... Does anybody have a mirror or another source? Please answer to my post if you do!

I would appreciate if a staff member here at www.apostolicsistersofvirtue.com could post it.

Thanks,
