“Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord”
Psalm 27:14 KJV
“Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivers him out of them all”
Psalm 34:19 KJV
“Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing”
James 1:3-4 KJV
WE DO NOT HAVE TO REMAIN IN A BROKEN STATE of MIND…
We all can agree that it is often easier said than done to look at the opposing sides of frailty, weakness, pain, stress, bitterness or the like. Especially, when we look via carnal and/or corporeal eyes.
One should never feel or be so ashamed to have a weak moment, experience stress, hurt and/or feel bitter (salty) at times. It is all part of HIS ordered steps.
“Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law”
Psalm 119:133-136 KJV
How So?
- Initially and simply God did not create us for us, HE did so for HIM.
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure”
Philippians 2:13 KJV
- Secondly, there is but one sure fire way towards His good pleasure, and that is through faith, ergo hearing His voice by studying His Word (voice) and applying it to every situation life hurls your way.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things, which are seen, were not made of things, which do appear. By faith, Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it, he being dead yet speaketh. By faith, Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him”
Hebrews 11:1-6 KJV
- Next, there has to be a confidence in knowing that the very patience which faith works in us is absolutely to WAIT on the Lord. This waiting is not a weakness as some intellectual and non-believers would have one perceive it. It is a declaration silent and audible of strict trust and belief in who YAH GOD is and what HE has willed and purposed for your life subjectively. I say this with little reserve because some tend to think that HE purposed our paths or works (HIS WILL) to mimic the next person’s. That is a huge error, which easily instigates vainglory and boasting of high-mindedness over GOD.
How?
People who have studied longer or more in-depth are no greater than those who have minimal training up in the way he or she should go. GOD is the FATHER of all creation. He teaches (guides) us into all truth. The proclamations of God’s will and intentions, ergo the do’s, which include the woes as well as the blessings, are throughout the biblical canon from Genesis to Revelation. (Referring to Phil 2:13 & 2 Tim 2:15 & 3:16; Matt 6:19-21 & v.33; Isa 40:31 & 45:7).
People thus, all have their opinions; some guided, and others misguided, or perhaps underdeveloped (lacking growth or communication with the fellowship). Not everyone will perceive the same inspiration, instruction, doctrine, reproof, nor correction per his or her works and growth. Although ALL will give and account thereof to having worked, the exact grain sized mustard seed faith. No work means faith is dead & a man who does not work does not eat of heaven’s manna (the bread of life) nor does he or she taste how good the Lord is and how thirst-quenching the rivers of living waters are. (Para, KJV).
Therefore, choose to be breaking the ties that bind you to the cares of this world and lean more towards considering GOD in all things, thus acknowledging HIM first and foremost that you not become broken of heart and spirit. “Death was swallowed up in victory. Nevertheless thy will be done, It is finished…I come quickly, above all I wish that thou may prosper and be of good health, they who worship me must do so in spirit (ethereal) and in truth (let GOD be true & every man a liar) and Verily Verily….not one jot nor tittle will I not perform (DO)“. ~YAHWEH GOD.
(Para KJV)
Example in Scenario:
A virgin cannot teach us about sex, no more than a whore can teach us about abstinence. It is a complementary guidance though.
SPIRITUAL ELABORATION:
Through a virgin, one can learn the positive rewards to abstaining from sex (intercourse with this world, its traditions of pimpology, a literal mind screwing filled with confusion) until married. Such as if the first Adam Male/Female, (seek the Lord on the tupos 5179). Had they followed the first rule “not to eat of the forbidden tree of the garden of life’s evil and good knowledge, we would never have to experience life from the whore’s perspective (beguiling seduction via pride and lust of the eyes and of the flesh –cloth of covering to the ethereal) Ergo, the disdain and disgust with having had never-ending, non-gratifying, non-fulfilling sex which never cleaves to anyone or anything and finds no place in the affianced ribcage.
Breakdown of Rib according to Strong’s Concordance 7378 the definition of “rib, means to strive or contend” (http://biblehub.com/hebrew/7378.htm). To go a tad further, to strive, and/or to contend suggests a labor, ergo work as in a great effort to achieve or obtain something (google.com). GOD is concerned with the preparation of The Marriage Supper of The Lamb (Revelation 19:6-9 KJV). HE does not want us a whoring after other gods. HIS concern is for HIS only begotten Son. The Lamb of God, and His called and chosen bridegroom (the Elect of God). The beauty of this scenario is that this LAMB was given in atonement for the sinful nature of the whore (Babylon or false church). You see the true church is the body of believers.
One must seek the Lord on the genealogy of ADAM and of these ancestors, the descendants are being called (invited) to this marriage supper. The life we are living in faith everyday is the bridal shower. Everyone has received good and perfect gifts. Although through self-will and lack of empathy of the wisdom principle, some often exchange the gifts for something more suiting to self than receiving the pleasure of choice via God’s selection.
Deut. 32:4 | Rev 3; 14:12 & 19:6-9 | Eph 5:23-27 | 1 Cor 11:1-34
Back to the scenario:
The complement is therefore AGAPE, an unmerited, unconditional love for the bridegroom (called & chosen Elect of God). In this love, there is forgiveness of the unthinkable carnalities of sort (the temporal, worldly, corporeal characterizations of the flesh, hint non-spiritual) through repentance and turning away from whoredom accessed via the prince of the air (the pimp). HIS WORD is not for the greedy, yet for the needy because HE shall supply all of our needs (material and spiritual) according as HE fashions through HIS riches in glory through our Messiah, Christ.
~the Messenger
“But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now unto God and our Father be glory forever and ever. Amen”
Philippians 4:18-20
“O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out”
Romans 11:33 KJV

◊ In Thought Quotes for Today:
Do not be broken by unfamiliar territory in fear because of someone else’s need for validation on misguided truth, vainglory, traditions of this world and of the flesh. Just because love does not look like what others think or feel it is supposed to look like, does not mean we stop loving. God is love and when we gather that; although hard-pressed at times, we must remember that it works no ill towards its elect and his/her neighbors, covers a multitude of sin, governs all, is all, and in us all (Eph 4:6). “BE BREAKING & NOT BROKEN”
~the MessengerB.R.E.A.K.I.N.G. = “Believe Redemption Emerges via Action of Faith, Knowledge of Love, through Inspiring others, Noticing GOD in all things and GROW”
B.R.O.K.E.N. = “Belittled, Reticent, Oppressed, Killed in spirit, Emasculated, Neutral
“Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke”(Isaiah 58:6 KJV)?
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”(2 Timothy 3:16 KJV).
“The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly” (Proverbs 14:24 KJV).
