Every man's burden is the heaviest. Do you understand that? Clearly you don't. Therefore you gravitate to being a social justice warrior who feel that if we all talk this through and I rub your shoulders we can make it for another 24 hrs. That isn't the Jesus Christ who found me, or helped me out of all my past tribulation. Paul the apostle was pressed out of measure
2 Corinthians 1:8-9 even to the point beyond their ability to take it. They even felt they were close to death. But in
2 Corinthians 1:9 Paul says it was all done to them so they wouldn't trust in themselves. While you may believe that you aren't a legalist because you don't wear a three piece suit, you miss what legalism actually is. It is trying to live this through your own ability.
Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. So, Paul understood all this, therefore he was able to put 2 and 2 together understanding that there was nothing placed in his life which he could not handle through the Cross.
The Book of Revelation explains that and old system was judged, a system which was manipulated by the religious. Who killed and murdered the opposition. Who would fill their cup to overflowing, not with blessing, but with their own crimes of religiosity. They were Bible debaters, and would come against the Truth of the Gospel at every turn. They blocked the door to Eden. They wouldn't let anyone enter in, nor would they even enter in themselves.
Revelation 21:5 And He who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also He said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” This was understood by the the apostle in
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. The lion no longer devours the sheep, but eats the straw like an ox. The unclean beast, has been changed to a clean beast.
Isaiah 43:18-19 talks about the restoration to springing forth with life. Deserts are dead, well springs are renewing life. That out of our very beings come forth flowing water, which we drink through the infilling of the Holy Ghost. Sadly churches in Churchanity no longer believe in the infilling of the Holy Ghost, or our Pentecostal jargon of "praying through. Bro, sometimes a person just need to pray through to snot bubbles and tears. Find a prayer room or a patch out in the back of the house and pray until you empty out and Jesus takes over.
That isn't supposed to be every minute of our lives, there is victory in Jesus or savior forever. Right?
When I first came around this I had men tell me about beauty in brokenness, about humbling and tempering. God being glorified in the broken. To only have them turn around when the going got tough to rip me (or anyone else available) up from Dan to Beersheba. I understand the truth of those words, I just don't understand those who are constantly religiously bipolar.
