For everybody asking the Body (“where is the church!?”) for statements on Kim Burrell, here’s mine:
1. Congratulations on your suffering for Christ. If you don’t back down you will be rewarded!
Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Acts 5:40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. 42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
2. Welcome to the kingdom of God, where have you been? Why are you surprised?
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we mustthrough much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
John 15:19If 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.
1 John 3:13Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
3. Stop trying to do ministry work with people that hate God, then they won’t be able to destroy you.
Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
4. Instead, start doing what Jesus did. Preach repentance to all, cast out demons, heal the sick and broken-hearted.
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
5. Give your gifts to God in worship and stop looking for fame by partnering and promoting the wicked.
1 Timothy 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
6. Learn to prioritize passion and compassion. Passion is suffering for Christ. Compassion is “suffering with” humans. Put your passion for Christ first, then you will be able to walk in true compassion for humans… Then you will be able to heal and deliver homosexuals and ANY sinner who has a desire to turn away from their sin.
Mark 6:34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
