Gifts and callings

As I begin this Blog I want to make it clear that regardless of the Fact of me being Transgendered I still Have Gift and a calling on my life to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ  Paul himself said in the book of  Romans  this   “

29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

Romans 11:29 (KJV)”

I know that he was talking about the Jews but the same thing applies for us today if you have a calling on your life to the ministry of Jesus Christ he would not remove that from you because of being transgendered because the word also says this “

14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well

Psalms 139:14 (KJV)

and it is my firm belief that you are who you are and you are what you are because it was Gods will for you to be who you was. I am given the question time and time again “How can you be a Christian and be transgendered well the word says this about that issue and Jesus  said this Himself  in John 3:16 For God so loved the ( World ) that He (God ) gave His only Begotten Son,That Whosoever (World) Believeth in him should not perish,But have everlasting life. Well the way I see it that covers the Straight Gay Bi and Transsexuals to some of my old friends back in the Fundamental churches I have been a member of that is a hard thing to swallow, but let me make it clear that is not my view that is the Plain Gospel of Jesus Christ. Do you remember the Blind man people asked was he born blind because of his parents sin ?and Jesus said this that his glory would be shown here is that text

2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

John 9:2-3 (KJV)

and now I will say this that before I came out of the closet as a Trans woman  I was the most judge mental person that ever walked the face of the earth well now I have found my self having more Grace and mercy to give others the word says to whom much is given much is required  so with that said I have to give a whole lot of Grace and love Why ? Because Jesus him self gave that to me  when He Laid his life down for me he laid his life down for a trans Woman by the name of Alicia N Neal and to Him I owe Him every thing and I praise the Name of Jesus  for that fact he saw Alicia and He Loved and still loves Alicia for who Alicia is . I have become a part of a great ministry and I want to thank my new Bishop the Rev Avery Hester for extending me my Ordination Papers today so I am now the Rev Alicia Neal Legally . In the next few days I will be formulating a mid week Bible study online so be in prayer for this new venture,

With Love

The Rev.Alicia N Neal
