I am sorry
I am sorry to take your time.
But, many of these preachers are far more concerned about worldly affairs than your eternal life; your eternal salvation.
The preached word is just a mousetrap to lead you into what they believe; and not what God has to say.
A Kind Word
I am sorry you feel you have to keep taking it back.
If you find yourself always explaining what you said and why you said it, maybe you should not be so quick to say it in the first place.
What a novel idea?
Think it over before you say it.
He Cares for You
Scripture
1st Peter 5:8
Beloved, please remain mindful of 1st Peter 5:-8
Cast Your Cares on Him
…Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

It pleases you to do so.
Do as you please Father.
