THS: Self Ministries

**Note: It has come to my attention that a lot of people don't know the origin of "Self Ministries." In fact, it has almost gotten out of hand. Therefore, I'm taking it upon myself to explain how this all came about.

The whole "Profitess" and "Self Ministries" came about because I had some ideas for a production that was supposed to take place at my church. I saw this character symbolizing deception. In what way? The bible says in 1 John 4:1-3:

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of
God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye
the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is
come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof
ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

In other words, "her" messages would cause people to go astray from the truth. The "Profitess" could take scriptures in the bible, turn them around and they would still make sense (HT people know what I'm talking about). How did "Self Ministries" come along? After getting the concept for this character, I felt that since she was a representation of the opposite, her attitude would be that it should be ALL about her; thus, Self Ministries. So where did I go wrong? I didn't explain what "daProfitess" was truly all about, and because of that, lots of people were/are being led down the wrong way. "Being in self" should NEVER be an excuse to sin. I guess I took for granted the different levels of "Christian Maturity." An example? Don't let "I'm in self" be your reason to use profanity nor let it be your reason to do anything outside of the will of God. 2 Tim. 3: 2, 5

For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud,
blasphemers... having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such
people turn away!

Then my S-I-C brought out an even stronger point. Whenever you have heard me say that I'm "daProfitess," you wouldn't acknowledge it as Profit if I didn't tell you. Am I right? Automatically, you would think Prophetess. And I realized that was very true. But if I wasn't called to be a Prophetess, what gives me the right to carry that title? People, if God ain't said, "This is who you are," then don't call yourself that title. Anybody can put a title in front of their name, but only God can choose you. I didn't realize the affect I made by creating this character. I'm a goofy person and I love to have fun, but if causes a person to stumble, its not worth it. I can't say forget I ever said I was "in self" or that I'm "daProfitess" because its left a mark. That's like a person who is known for wearing stylish hats. If that person stops wearing a hat for one day, someone will still ask what happened to the hat. Why? Because that mark has been made. Let the record show that I do apologize for leading anyone down the wrong path. Although my lifestyle never really conformed to that character, the characteristics of "daProfitess" were still evident. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, take an evaluation of yourselves and see where you are. It has NEVER been about us, it has ALWAYS been about GOD!!! Everyday should be, "God what assignment do you have for me?" Don't let your flesh control your actions. Flesh is the true definition of self; to let your flesh overtake you! Let God take over you! As Christians, we have no excuse. God is able to KEEP us from falling. Yes God has given us free will, but if you're not in the will of God, you're just wasting your time!

**At this time, I "retire" the title of "Profitess" (no joke). Until, God tells me, or even if I never receive a title, I'm simply Crystal Renee'
