JUST A MINUTE PLEASE 🙏[THE PREACHER'S CORNER] 📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼 COPING WITH MY PAINS IN THESE END TIMES ! (ISA.30:9-10) 📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼📼 .........10. who say to the seers, "See not"; and to the prophets, "Prophesy not to us what is right; speak to us smooth things, prophesy illusions, (Isa 30: 9-10) Have you ever walked through a situation in life that left you wondering why God would allow you to experience the hurt, pain or even discouragement that resulted? There is no doubt that some challenges in life are the result of poor choices, but for every believer, the reality is that we will walk through hardship and will experience pain. I have always made it look like George Jones sang *Choices) for me in particular. Christ Jesus had already told and warned isus pain and suffering would be a part of our lives “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 Christ Jesus doesn’t simply say we’ll have trials and sorrow and then leaves it to us to figure out. Instead, He promises peace and reminds us that He has overcome the world. I love that Christ Jesus doesn’t simply say we’ll have trials and sorrow and then leaves it to us to figure out. Instead, He promises peace and reminds us that He has overcome the world, meaning our hardships aren’t without purpose. But the pains in me , gnawing at my heart are the ones of the end times,where the real truth is being hidden by both rogue and genuine shepherds. These groups of shepherds tell their flock there's a lot luscious green grass ahead and not to worry.Even me have to many a time asked myself if I know what I was doing. Because in our age,living cannot be more difficult... security and hardship challenges. That's when I ask questions whether I'm doing the right thing,YET I CANNOT AFFORD TO BE ENSTRAGED FROM MY LORD AND SAVIOUR AS A RESULT OF THE HUNGER PANGS AFFLICTING MY FAMILY. This is why the Apostle Paul who experienced much pain and difficulty can boldly declare these words in Romans 8:28, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Our pain and suffering have a purpose Paul chooses his words carefully. He recognizes something that is absolutely essential for us to remember as believers ... our pain is not meaningless but has a purpose. And not just some situations ,He writes all things. Every individual God used mightily throughout Scripture went through seasons of hardship. Moses had to flee his family who wanted to kill him, Elijah had people seeking his death, Queen Esther risked her life in order to save the Jewish people, Christ Jesus’ disciples were all martyred for their commitment to Christ and our Savior was beaten and crucified for us. BUT WE HARDLY HEAR THESE MESSAGES ANYMORE. BECAUSE IN OUR CHURCHES WE APPOINT THOSE THAT TELLS US WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR; For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, (2Ti 4: 3) 9. For they are a rebellious people, lying sons, sons who will not hear the instruction of the LORD; 10. WHO SAYS TO THE SEERS"SEE NOT"; AND TO THE PROPHETS, "PROPHESY NOT TO US WHAT IS RIGHT; SPEAK TO US SMOOTH THINGS, PROPHESY ILLUSIONS (Isa 30: 9-10) No true believer will deny that these behaviors are not present heavily in a greater portion of our congregations. Every preaching is on how God will take us to greater heights,and will NEVER speak of our part in the covenant... holistic obedience to God's undiluted Word, EXCEPT MOTIVATIONAL SCRIPTED-LIKE SPEECHES that only encourages high offering, tithes and other many ways of ensuring their imaginative God's blessings, ALL AIMED at making sure the pastors are comfortable,while the rest,(especially the less privileged and truth seekers) will be mocked directly or indirectly in their motivational expressions, relegating them to the backgoom in the scheme of things. But is this the preparation we should be involved in this times we are in...times when when the Groom will come for His Bride. I sincerely pray He will not meet us sleeping. And this is my concern,my worry,my, pain. Scripture repeatedly speaks to how our suffering never concludes without God’s power working through it supernaturally. Our pain and suffering often sets us up to see God’s supernatural working in our lives. I have experienced this truth first hand over and over in my life. I have experienced travails upon travails with my family. When we seem to be getting out of one, another will be right ahead awaiting our arrival Our suffering never concludes without God’s power working through it supernaturally. Nothing can prepare you for disappointing news, especially when you feel the Lord had spoken to your heart and then things don’t progress like you planned. Questions begin to fill our mind such as: Did we truly hear from God,or it's pure imagination or deception from the pit of hell. BUT THAT'S WHEN GOD WORKS BEST,IF WE DON'T GIVE UP. GOD BEGINS HIS BEST, WHEN THE ENEMY HAS DONE HIS VERY WORST AND WE DIDN'T BULGE. And this is where God's Shepherds (especially the self called,who happened to be in the majority) are leading the flock astray, that they can have peace in this broken world that God has rejected,AS WE BUSY OURSELVES IN MAKING MORE MONEY. THEY ENCOURAGE THE FLOCK THAT WITH MORE MONEY,THEY CAN EXPERIENCE TRUE HAPPINESS,AS THEY CAN GET WHATEVER THEY WANT. BUT THE ENSTRAGED FLOCK DON'T REALIZE THAT IT'S THE DEVIL SPEAKING,AND THUS SWALLOW EVERYTHING,HOOK AND SINKER. This is why,everyday, new ways of making money are introduced. And as there's more money, prices skyrocket and the circle continues...more money. May God help His Own, because Satan succeeds in distracting us from God's Word that we can't pray nor wish away. Will be back.🙇🙏!
