“And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching” Hebrews 10:24-25, NKJV.
My sister, I heard the Lord say, He is coming back for His church and He wants every one of His children to be planted in a local body of believers. They will help hold you accountable, help you grow in your relationship with God and help you fully discover and fulfill God’s purpose and plan for your life. Anyone who chooses to disobey God and not be planted somewhere is being deceived by the enemy and is in a state of rebellion. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, which means when you don’t obey God, you are giving the enemy freedom to operate in your life and in your home. Don’t do that, my sister. Get plugged in. Let God plant you and your family in a church home so you can learn and grow and be all that God created you to be and do all He’s equipped you to do.
As long as a pastor is following Jesus, you can follow him/her. The moment he/she stops following Jesus, it’s time to go and let God lead you to a new place of worship. As long as a pastor is preaching and teaching the truth of God’s Word without compromise, you can follow him/her. The moment he/she closes the Bible and chooses to preach another doctrine other than the truth of Jesus, it’s time to go.
No matter your personal beliefs about church, the Bible tells us not to be unwise, but to understand what the will of the Lord is. It is God’s will that you be planted in a local body of believers. He is coming back for His people. Get plugged in with His people, and He will bless you and use you to be a blessing!
Prayer: Father, please forgive me for anything I’ve said against your pastors and the church that was not right. Help me to see the body of Christ the way you see us. Open my eyes to your truth. Heal every wound and all hurt that was caused by someone in spiritual leadership over me in the past. Tear down any and every stronghold in my mind that’s distorting my view. Give me a submissive heart and a teachable spirit. Help me learn how to submit to spiritual authority as unto you. Lead me and guide me to where you want me to be planted. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Wow these past few devotionals have been on time devotionals💓💓💓 I know Sis Kesha that you spend time with the Lord I know you seek his will for your life and his words to reach us💓💓💓 Thank you Jesus for your love thank you c or your kindness💓💓💓 And thank you for your Spirit who moves and draws us to the Father’s heart ♥
Thank you for the words of truth. It is so important, in these days, the your pastor does not waiver from God’s word, that they don’t fall into the world’s view that everything is acceptable. The bible, God’s word is very plain on what it right and what is wrong. No riding the fence. God’s word says if you are neither Hot nor cold, He will spew (vomit) you out of His mouth. I am thankful for this DOTK site and Keisha who know God’s word and do not waiver from it.
Thank you Lord for speaking so clear and direct to me and others. The past devotions have been on point and I receive the corrections. I am open to being planted wherever you send me, I will be obedient and go. I will be a blessing to them and them to me. It is whatever you say, wherever you say and whenever you say Abba. Your humble servant and daughter will go. I forgive every church leader who hurt me and almost caused me to give up on church. In Jesus name, amen
Lord, if You lead me I will not stray.
✝️♥️🙏🏾
I praise God I have the Holy Spirit living in me guiding me into all truth, I believe I am one of many that is not planted in a church, as I’ve been caring for my husband for 4 years I’ve not been able to be, God knows my heart and sees and knows all things….

I don’t physically attend church but am on line. I have tried but have experienced a lot of hurt from people that attend. I believe that the Lord will lead me to the right church where the Heavenly Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit is the focus. It will not just be a social club but to really transition everyone from the world to a place where we are in Christ who will in and through us. Thank you. Blessings, Shalom and Agape 👀🙏🏽❤️📖🙌🏽
