If you want to make a difference in this world - let your flaws, show, a super "white washed facade" is not going to help many people (I'm alotting that it could help a few people cause the bible says to listen to the sermons of the pharisee's just don't do what they do)....................Matthew 23:3 "So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach." That's why I never worried much about if the apostolic christian church of america were or aren't pharisee's (there's people out there that appear to firmly believe that the apostolic christian church of america members are pharisee's --------- there is potential for that going on at that church..............I'm hoping for many of them still myself), I always knew it was ok to listen to the apostolic christian church of america even if they were/are pharisee's cause their sermons is good. But you know my point is, pharisee's could be helpful.
But jesus appears to be pretty against this "white washed" be obsessed with having a super clean outside cup idea in my estimation. The bible says......................James 5:16 "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." I think that's what jesus wants for the whole body of christ for us to indeed confess our faults to one another (which for me happens often on my blog, it counts). NOT CRACK OUT THE WHITE PAINT AND PAINT AND PAINT AND PAINT IT ALL PRETTY AND PERFECT ALWAYS!
My dad wants me to delete the previous blog post, my family is super concerned that they must look perfect..........and my mom is convinced that my blog is "super big" on this earth........it is.................but I am struggling to get them to understand that they could have flaws AND IT'S OK! ------ they ain't getting it.
It's so weird to, cause I'll talk, they'll see me talk...........am I the worse for confessing my faults????????? Am I?????????? Naw I don't believe I am ever. People want that, they want to care about each other for one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to care about each other............does it not help if we confess our faults, and struggles etc. etc. etc. to one another (say if I battled a eating disorder....................for example) so that they could pray for me, or try and give me I don't know web links to help get victory over my eating disorder (just a example........well kind of..............technically I do battle a eating disorder "binge eating disorder" is what it is called. People want to hear these kinds of things both in the body of christ and outside of it, they want to care!
Often I'll blog about going to the foodbank and helping out, or buying stuffs at https://thehungersite.greatergood.com/clicktogive/ths/home
I am not a fluke item out there! Many people both in the body of christ and outside of it, care for one another.........................I'm talking about neighbors caring about neighbors I've experienced it in my own cul - de - sac.................(one of our neighbors one day was concerned, that we were maybe struggling to pay some bills and said if we ever needed help to just ask.............so nice).
""""""sheri that isn't even reality, people are aweful out there and if you say one thing that makes you look bad someway THEY WILL SCEWER YOU ALIVE" ------- naw they pry won't, actually they have lives buisy lives I find, they ain't like all with some list of enemies they must scewer alive most people like don't have such a list I'm saying. The world is actually pretty good a lot of it. And everytime something ugly does happen out there.............this truth shines again and again, with the countless people that help after natural disasters etc.
I take back this song, it is only "evil" if you chose to make it "evil".....................

Just heard the Aleinu (messianic jewish um thing we read) reminding me why my identity (which isn't hingent upon what race I am) is SO IMPORTANT........................
Just heard the Aleinu (messianic jewish um thing we read) reminding me why my identity (which isn't hingent upon what race I am) is SO IMPORTANT. Back story for anyone new to my blog, for my mom's sake I've recently said I'd try for awhile to walk around with out a tichel on and my mom clean said on line on like my instagram I think or maybe my blog how happy she is about that. And I'm sweating the idea of loosing MY IDENTITY!
The beginning of the Aleinu really got to me this morning...............
https://www.jewishvoice.org/read/blog/prayers-and-blessings-messianic-judaism
Aleinu
There's many instances out there where people took on the habits, customs, of neighboring towns, etc. AND LOST THEIR IDENTITY!
Colossians 2:20-22 "Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?"
-- In my mind hairstyles are a "rudiment of the world"
-- so is jewelry (though my germanite bracelets are needed for arthritis reasons and I am 100% they helped my gluten allergy go away)
Pry a few more things that are the rudiments of the world I have no buisiness touching.
----------- Ya I can have my hair down and still have my identity I realize that. But that scares me. I am terrified of not only how much I look like Marilyn Monroe.............how much I enjoy impersonating her............but don't get me wrong at all I love Marilyn Monroe, I am a mega fan and I consider her family forever.

How the devil works 101: "If you just buy that your life will be great all of the sudden"...................
How the devil works 101: "If you just buy that your life will be great all of the sudden" Ephesians 6:11 "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."...................
I want to buy something right now, quite a bit..............smith's friends BCC brunstad christian church though they I think go by yet another name these days they have a song or had a song in their hymnal it went.....................(this is my giving credit for the song, of where it originates, no copryright infringement is intended though I have completely forgotten the name of their songbook it's been so many years).....................
"""that's not for me
that's not for me
all worhip of idols I'll flee
my all I have placed on god's altar to stay
I cast every idol away"""
---- One of my favorites of all their songs I love that song.
Are there things that would indeed help my life out "out there". THAT I WOULD EVEN ENJOY TO HAVE! - yes.
But they just ain't all for me! Luke 9:25 "For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?"
Maybe this is what paul was talking about or at least part of it, when he said he "dies daily" 1 Corinthians 15:31 "I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily."
That doesn't mean don't buy nothing ever, I'm having my husband order me a bunch of winter fleeced lined leggings on amazon. But it's good to know or have a idea of what things aren't for us as followers of the lord.
And yes all things are lawful 1 Corinthians 10:23 "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not." But you do not want to be buying up everything your eyeballs see and probably in doing that loose the holy spirit's guidance in your life Jude 1:19 "These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit."
Ps to the baptist church my family currently attends, I do not "separate" myself, my husband walks swiftly out of the church post the service and I am then expected to follow him swiftly out of the church post the service. So that there "scenario" isn't one that is my "doing" really. And the pastors wife hasn't imm'd me yet to let me know a fresh bible study has started up..............and I don't know if a fresh bible study has started up yet???? Once I hear bible study has started up, I attend to go to it.
This is a short blog post cause I have a terrible migraine headache.
It's time to wake up................commercials buy buy buy buy buy buy buy the system isn't rigged for none of us to be saved (by system I mean the worlds system).
Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

To make my mom happy I'm trying to have my hair down for a bit of time to prove a point it isn't going to make me popular all of the sudden.....I am hated by the entire planet FOR GOOD MAYBE.......................sheri 2024 in her "permanent villian era" as long as you are trying to please people EVEN IF THAT WERE YOUR OWN PARENTS your not free........................though pleasing god I believe is a good plan to try and do that Galatians 1:10 "For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ."........................................................
John 15:19 "If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." It don't even matter that I impersonate marilyn monroe pretty well and am a huge marilyn monroe fan ---------- that doesn't even matter naw.
(my mom who doesn't want me to even use her 1st name on my blog) Sigh
(my mom who doesn't want me to even use her 1st name on my blog) Hey...did I see you wear jeans? YES\
And then there was a guy that maybe heckled me............I don't know if he heckled me but that smiley face with a tongue sticking out emojii might be a heckle πthat he might have a sense of humor my husband tells me.............well I don't get that kind of humor. But he may have some kind of humor I do not get...........cause what else would you put a smiley face with a tongue sticking out emojii unless you weren't sincere and you thought my modest attire and headcovering looked stupid?????????????????????

Part two: today I am showing mercy to my enemies aka the apostolic christian church of america...........so I can find mercy..........it's good, it's good to be merciful BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL the bible says..................
So basically this means I'm going to keep on going to the apostolic christian church of america (randomly --- shoot for a few times a year at least) and do good to them and love them. Some them's nice to me, this is not mission impossible.
Mark 7:7 "Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
Colossians 2:22 "Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?"
Titus 1:14 "Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandmentsof men, that turn from the truth."

Today I loved some of my "enemies" the apostolic christian church of america - though how much they are or aren't my enemies I ain't even sure??????????...................................
That "commandment of men" I feel plenty needs to be challenged to this day, because if something like that divides the body of christ...............whether that is 1 person or a few people, or even a whole church off from all of the rest of the body of christ (or a great deal of the rest of the body of christ because the apostolic christian church of america does have "sister churches" sounds plural but the only "sister church" I know that they do have is the menonites). In reality all christian churches in the body of christ should be our "sister churches"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE BODY!
Ephesians 4:4-6
For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
Colossians 2:12 "Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead."
I realize that Romans 6:4 and Colossians 2:12 might start out symbolism BUT THOSE TWO VERSES AREN'T SUPPOSED TO REMAIN SYMBOLISM!!!!!!!!!!!!
