Hello:

Sis. Evelyn from Bell South!  I do not know if you are referring to me, 
but it is indeed a miracle that you emailed me when you did.  You see, 
just this morning I received a message from someone on Higher Fire 
regarding the slew of Oneness Pentecostals who are performing for 
Trinitarian churches.  The question came up if they were backslidden 
and if they should participate in any type of fellowship with others.

You see, I sing for Trinitarian churches and functions, TV shows and 
fellowship at a church that embraces the trinitarian doctrine.  And it 
is a battle to live holy and be a witness in this atmosphere where the 
power of God is sometimes quenched due to traditions of men and old 
religious strongholds.  But I press on for I feel the call to do this.
 
I sent a very long, personal email to this person stating that in the 
Book of Revelations, God spoke to seven different churches. He exhorted 
them in the areas where they excelled and received revelation but 
reproved them in the areas where they were weak.  He did not state that 
any of these churches were not a part of the Body, otherwise He would 
not have taken the time to send angels to them to speak to them.  In 
Hebrews, God said those he loves He chastises.  So He obviously still 
loves His Bride...even though like Gomer in the book of Hosea, she goes 
a whoring after other gods.

I shared with this brother how I undergo severe attack from the enemy 
because of what I view as my "missionary" work in the church where I am 
currently fellowshipping, but God delivers me and my family (Donovan, 
6, and Damaris, 4) out of every affliction!  I feel called to be 
here--what exactly the work it I am supposed to do or if my just being 
amongst the Trinitarian brethren and letting my light shine is my work 
I am still not quite sure.  But when I get discouraged and just want to 
pack up and head on home--Laplace, LA--back to the little Apostolic 
church where I received the Holy Ghost almost 10 years ago, God always 
leads me back right back here.  So until I get the green light--if I 
get it--that I am done here, I will remain.

I was just about to write my old pastor and ask him to pray for the 
Perfect Will of God to be performed in my life and to get some words of 
wisdom from him re: my stay here in the Boston area and how I should 
deal with the battles that beset me as I try to shine and let people 
know that God has more for us.  I had been playing around with the idea 
to go back home because I miss Pentecostal services and the move of God 
and have been praying for God to move in the midst.  And He has!!!  But 
I still miss my old church a lot and long to go back home and run the 
aisles and speak in tongues as long and as much as I want!!!

Your message--and its timing--serves as a message from God that this is 
where He would have me to be and to stay encouraged...to keep walking 
in love and eventually others will be drawn to receive more from God. 
For I do not even remember emailing you (and even if I did, I do not 
use that name on the Net) and guess what the people at my old church 
call me? Sis. Wendy!!!  And no one here in the Boston area or on 
Higher-Fire know that that is my nickname!  No one calls me Sis. Wendy 
but those at the little loving Oneness Pentecostal church in LaPlace, 
LA where I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost almost 10 years 
ago!!!!  My God is truly amazing!!!!  To God be the Glory!!!!

God bless you and let's K.I.T., okay?

Sis. Wendy
