Lord, Someone Is About To Give Up

Lord today within the Christian community someone is broken or have taken a U-Turn away from you. Someone has literally given up on God's scriptural promise.

Sometimes God will entrust you with a situation to liberate others with a song. Your past is not your future, you cannot give up and you must choose to worship God no matter what!

Sometimes we do fall down and sometimes we do breakdown. It is in those moments you must get up and stand up and tell yourself I must "be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might." Ephesians 6:10

You must pursue God for His divine help because asking is scriptural and asking is the first step one must scripturally take. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" Matthew 7:7

Sometimes in life you have to stop running from the negative spiritual warfare of life you are currently facing that is somehow indirectly or directly pursuing you for no apparent reason. Not surprising some of these pursue are testing you to see what is your scriptural response. 

Sometimes life challenges will expose the unexposed within you to see what is your true scriptural composition. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23

You have a  scripturally responsibility to remind some of those negative situation, situation cannot be challenge anymore because it's scripturally unchallenged. "and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

The reason why these challenges happen, each negative pursue is designed to hold you back from operating in your divine purpose of who scripture says that you are.

Life challenges are preparing you to minister to the non ministered who are broken in their spirit. "Ministry of the word" tells us; "He health the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." Psalm 147:3

Whoever you are, did you know you are carrying the ministry of hope within you and you are an ambassador chosen to represent scripture as a an overcomer? "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:1, 34-39

In this Christian journey you must turn around and finally face your "Saul" situation, face your past, face your fears, confront you as to why you have not self forgive you and to self ask you why do you continue to place scriptural limitations on you?"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." Mark 9:23

Some Christians need to stop being afraid of the unknown. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

Sometimes you have to scripturally stand up and correct a love one who has transition into a state of scriptural numbness who has a disposition called adultery.  Sometimes you may have to tell your pastor adultery Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.' Hebrews 13:4

You are called to be a scriptural soldier in all situations. "Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 2 Timothy 2:1-4

Sometimes you must put in the scriptural work and master 1 Peter 2:9 as a new identity. You are scripturally enveloped into this profound scriptural fact; "but ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;"

Sometimes you have to say enough is enough! 

You must now get up, stand up in your situation and step out by faith and start "fight a good fight of faith" beginning and ending with scripture.

Today all you need to know is this;  God  "restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Sometimes you have to tell yourself; "I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord." Psalm 118:17

Sometimes you have to open your mouth and declare over your family, declare over your marriage, declare over your children, declare over your medical condition, over your "shadow of death" reality you may be facing right now as you receive man's prognosis which is not promising right now. With the scriptural strength you must still verbalize; "no (medical) weapon that is formed against (me) shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against (me) in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord." Isaiah 54:17

Regardless of what you have done God loves you and you have the scriptural option which is available to you to acknowledge; "the Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9

Sometimes you have to trust God and give God your situation back to start the process of scriptural transition. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."  Proverbs 3:5-6 

Let us Pray!

Almighty God search my heart, my soul, my motive, my thoughts, and my desire. If there is anything that is unlike Christ and unlike God and unlike scripture today God, I am asking you to scripturally partnership with me right now. 

God please "order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Psalm 119:133

Acknowledge "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. " 1 John 1:9

Amen!

Forgiveness, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do”

Surrender to the word of God not to self.

Christians, unconditional forgiveness is scriptural and it is the scriptural expectation Jesus Christ demonstrated in partnership with scripture. Jesus Christ was a trailblazer in forgiveness. “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do”. Luke 23:34

We must forgive the unforgivable in order for God to heal the unhealed pain within us. This is why we must self; “examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates” in the sin of not forgiving others.   2 Corinthians 13:5 

Forgiveness is not conditional but unconditional.

Forgiveness is like a key you need in this life to unlock and release yourself from bitterness and being hurt from what happened yesterday while standing in the presence of today."Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.”  Isaiah 43:18

Not forgiving someone will keep you in a perpetual state of malice, evil speaking, anger, mean spiritedness and hate. "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:"

James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

Ephesians 4:31 "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:" Sad to say, the state of non forgiveness if you are a Christian, will keep you out of the kingdom of God and outsource you to hell because you are unlike Christ with a Christlessness disposition.

I personally choose to forgive and forgiveness has many layers, like an onion. Stay strong and stay focused in scripture. Scripture is a builder of forgiveness but it will take time.  A few years ago I had to forgive the unforgivable.

Be patient with the forgiveness process which is designed to refine you with the determination to not have situations define you. Psalm 86:5 states “for thou, Lord, art good, and  ready  to forgive; and 

plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. 
Matthew 6:14-15 declares “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses "We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. 

"He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies. Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness. Strength of character means the ability to overcome resentment against others, to hide hurt feelings, and to forgive quickly. Certainly people make mistakes in their life. I'm no different, I've made mistakes. When people mess up, we forgive them. When I mess up, I ask for forgiveness. Many promising reconciliations have broken down because while both parties come prepared to forgive, neither party come prepared to be forgiven. The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong”. Martin Luther King, Jr., Marianne Williamson,  Lawrence G. Lovasik,  Michele Bachmann, Charles Williams , Mahatma Gandhi 

If you are a Christian I pray you will forgive those who have done the unspeakable and the unthinkable. Listen to this song to transition you to be scripturally present to forgive.

Divorcing The Spirit Of Adultery - John 8:3-12

Disclaimer

God created you in His own image. "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:27

A sin decision will create within you a sin image to destroy God’s scriptural image of who you are.

Any anti-scriptural action somehow will set the stage to start a divorce procedure against God based on lack of scriptural integrity, self-discipline, choice and a self-decision.  An anti-scriptural action are like bedbugs. It just takes one sin act or an anti-scriptural action to cause an anti-scriptural infraction base on "Ministry of the Word"application due to "lack of knowledge". Hosea 4:6

If you fail to apply the word, before you know it you will have a spiritual infestation in your salvation bed within your “temple” sucking out the blood coverage of Jesus Christ out of your salvation promise. "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7

The sin infestation will cause you to be spiritually useless, anti-scripturally mummified, and scripturally deaf to the word of God. Sin will leave you scripturally dumb because you cannot speak the word over your own life, scripturally deaf because you cannot even hear God speaking to you, scripturally blind because you are so blind to the sin you have committed and scripturally dead to the word of God. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

Sometimes, we must divorce our past sin disposition in exchange for God's scriptural promise. Jesus was setting up the atmosphere to pluck this woman of great potential out of her circumstances who had the “issues of life”; lifestyle called adultery. “This woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.” Her story was about being psychologically robbed of her identity as a woman by the spirit of adultery. She was enslaved by the spirit of adultery transitioning her from an invisible perspective to become physically visible to confront her issue. Jesus was indirectly saying to her, as it is written: “for I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” Jeremiah 29:11 "The scribes and Pharisees” secured her position that day "to give (her) an expected end”. The biblical depiction and accounts were careful to carve out her entire history and her accounts as it is written in John 8:3-12; “ And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” 

Her encounter with Jesus was a salvation connection, connecting her back to God her creator.

Jesus was speaking to this woman and Jesus  demonstrated unconditional love declaration which was eternally honoured and offered to her. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:1

Jesus was speaking to this woman's spirit that was broken and he engaged with her soul to spiritually override her past life. Jesus, in a very indirect way was asking her do you know who you are?

Jesus was saying; you have not yet realized you are an awesome woman, you are spiritually beautiful and you were “wonderfully made” by God for such a time like this. Her interaction with Jesus was an affirmation that a change in her life was going to come.

Her change ignited imprints of scriptural character reconstruction causing and effecting her own ministry of reconciliation. "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;” 2 Corinthians 5:18

Her transformation process was a faith walk regardless of her past story and past disposition as an adulteress to partnership with God through the eyes of Jesus to change her sin disposition.

This woman of courage had the “character capacity” to divorce her previous lifestyle, divorce her shame, divorce her guilt, divorce her past choices, divorce her hurt, divorce her brokenness, divorce her state of attention seeking and to divorce her state of ongoing rejection from others.

She had to divorce the spirit of depression, divorce the spirit of abuse and she was determined to divorce the spirit of low self-esteem and divorce the spirit of  promiscuous.

Jesus taught her the most valuable lesson,  the importance of divorcing the spirit of religiosity oppression. She understood,  "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." 2 Corinthians 3:17  She refused to be a victim or to be victimized by the spirit of adultery as she held her head up high minute by minute divorcing the generational trauma that has yoke her and her future children’s life by saying JESUS! Self-declaring there is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain off her past, present and future generational trauma. This woman knew it was her time to divorce her self-perception she had of herself, divorce her non- forgiveness, divorce her sexual addictions and she was able to divorce her need to look for love all in the wrong places.

She knew without a shadow of a doubt, by divorcing the spirit of adultery which was a self-crime against herself, by divorcing the invisible sexual spiritual warfare realm of fornication/adultery, by divorcing the god of adultery and the anti-scriptural sexual army of darkness that consist of air, land, and and sea. Upon stopping the sin act of adultery, lust, promiscuity, sexual service without any money being rendered to her, purpose was scripturally realized in her self-emancipated commitment. Her scriptural DNA became her Isaiah 54:17 scriptural covenant promise stating; "no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” 

This woman by faith walked into her purpose immediately who was able to divorce all named and unnamed words of negativity that was spoken over her life. She was empowered by Jesus who was able to divorce all her weaknesses and she was able to internally listen to what "Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." John 8:11

She knew the sin of adultery was psychologically design to physically imprison her mind, imprison her purpose and imprison her scriptural destiny. 

Jesus scripturally equipped her to divorce the community naysayers who wanted to stone her to death, as some of the men in this particular community were actively having sex with her who were also exposed in their determination to judge her. "Judge not, that ye be not judged. "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." Matthew 7:1-8

When you divorce God, God will sin divorce you too. 1 Peter 1:16 is clear "Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy"

If you are a Christian; sin is not okay, divorcing God is not okay and sin is not your identity. Actively participating in a sexual sin decision when you are not married will sexually estrange you from God and sexual sin is divisional causing an estranging process to take place estranging you from your scriptural self-worth.

"But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.” 2 Timothy 2:20-23

No matter what you have done, God is still saying "go, and sin no more”

This woman had to unlearn to scripturally learn what it scripturally means to be a Proverbs 31 woman.

She scripturally recognized, she was truly blessed and she understood “blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake (is a beginning of a courtship with God) . Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” including Jesus. Matthew 5:11-12 

Her encounter with Jesus became her 2 Corinthians 12:9 strength: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

This ex-adulteress who was a sinner had a 1 John 1:9 knowledge revelation; "If (I) confess (my) sins, he is faithful and just to forgive (me) our sins, and to cleanse (me) from all unrighteousness.”

Her confession was her redemption, she had to learn to forgive the unforgivable starting with self and to speak about the unspeakable sin of adultery. She had to scripturally master Luke 6:37, "judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.” 

This ex-adulteress who was deep in sin is asking you and I right now, “Where would you be” without Jesus? 

What is your "Issues of life”, can you list them and are you willing to divorce them now?

"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” Proverbs 4:23
