We realize and understand that there is no such problem that is too small or too great for the plan of God and OLJC.
There is no problem too big --- God cannot solve it!
There is no mountain too tall --- He cannot move it!
There is no storm too dark -- God cannot calm it.
There is no sorrow too deep -- He cannot soothe it.
If He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
I know my brother that He will carry you.
He said, "Come on to me all who are weary
And I will give you rest!
We should serve and work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us especially those who are of the household of faith (Doctrine).
"I am NOT ready yet to be that gracious to others because I have too many other distractions, like my bills, that are designed to hinder my advance and to try and take away our fantastic blessings".
What you should be doing while waiting for your Shepherd Lover, TLJC, who is waiting for His bride to make herself READY for Him.
"made herself ready" -- aor-act-ind of e(toimazw hetoimazo - the Bride "making herself ready for her bridegroom with the material (+R) that the Bridegroom has provided for His bride to wear at the Wedding Feast."
The issue that will be at stake is whether the righteousness of God was used by the Bride to prepare herself and dress herself up and ready for her Bridegroom, TLJC.
Did some of the Bride (Church) dress themselves up with their very own self-righteousness, which in Isa 64:6 it is equated with "a bloody menstrual rag from the females."
You will see that the application of these principles applies to "Anyone" or "Whosoever wills" (or whatsoever).
In the active voice, this verb says that as the future bride of Christ you should have the ability and intelligence to handle anything that Satan and his kingdom of darkness tries against you.
Keeping with the principle of what we call I.C.E., we are going to wear as beautiful of a gown that we can, with our Lord's righteousness (+R).
God want us to know the spiritual things that He has provided for each and every one of us.
JOH 3:34 "For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for He gives the Spirit without measure.
Grace changes US with an Unconditional Love and our God is always waiting to express His love to those who desire to know that love and share it with others.
This +R was made for us and given to us -- as a gift with the material (+R) our Bridegroom, TLJC, has provided for us which is really His perfect righteousness.
This simply points to the obedience of the Bride (Church) by using what the Bridegroom, our Lord Jesus Christ, has provided for all of us a gift (+R) and our need for help, guidance and direction.
Are you ready to go forward in God's plan or are you getting ready to quit, throw in the towel, murmur and complain because things are not turning out the way you planned.
As you and I desire certain times or certain wants or certain needs that will come your way, those things are absolutely necessary and are essential if you are ever going to glorify the Lord.
Our Lord loves to give, He loves to love and He loves to see faith from His followers.
The amount of days you have to live your life before the Lord and to communicate the mystery doctrine of the Church-age is a tremendous honor and privilege to just be named or mentioned.
The Lord chose me and He chose you and His desire was to choose the entire human race without violating their freedom; 2Pe 3:9.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
That is our Lord's desire for the entire human race, but some of it cannot be used or accepted by God because God is not in the business of violating man's free will.
The majority of the human race still rejects TLJC and still awaits a decision from the SCOH by the SCJ.
Isa 5:4 "What more was there to do for My vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I expected {it} to produce {good} grapes did it produce worthless ones?
This is what happens when a believer doesn't take the Lord's word seriously and instead focuses in on himself or herself rather than the Lord's will.
PSA 18:34 He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
These are the types of believers who do not recognize that they are being used by Heylel or by Satan, that devil!
In ISA 3:9 And they display their sin like Sodom; They do not {even} conceal {it.} Woe to them! For they have brought evil on themselves.
Isa 28 = the prophet reveals that the priests, the prophets, and the leaders have all turned to substances that blind them from seeing the truth within us.
We even have a selection that you can search for which talks about winner believers receiving rewards in this life for their faithfulness and dedication to the Lord Jesus Christ as the Supreme Court Judge in the Supreme Court of Heaven.
One of the many blessings that the Lord has given to us is that a winner believer is allowed to roam around and have the privilege of coming and going as a winner believer.
REV 2:17 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes [the winner believer],
to him [the winner] I will give {some} of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name or a new title written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.'
DEU 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,
DEU 30:20 by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them. "
Notice that this is a reflection of the intimacy which will exist between TLJC and the winner believer.
King David not only misses being the leader over the Israeli military but he is becoming lazy and slothful and is no longer content with who he is and with what he possesses, which is the inheritance of God.
King David is bored and slothful and he also has lost the capacity he once had to be blessed by God with appreciation for what God blesses.
PRO 19:15 Laziness casts into a deep sleep, And an idle man will suffer hunger.
PRO 31:27 She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.
SA 12:23, the SCOH reveals what happens when a baby dies? "But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again [NO]? I shall go to him [Heaven ], but he will not return to me."
The Divine Order of things says that, first of all, we all need to identify how we became sinners.
PSA 51:1 (For the choir director. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him,) (after he had gone in to Bathsheba.)
Be gracious to me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness; According to the greatness of Thy compassion blot out my transgressions.
David says that he was conceived out of wedlock by Him and Solomon's mother -- Bathsheba.
This is the principle of the man and woman who passes down the trends of the OSN while violating others for the sake of knowing TLJC and the power behind His resurrection.
After David deals with his problems at birth and now he must deal with it in PSA 58:3, which states; "The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth."
After conception then we go on to live in the lies of the Cosmic system and we reject the PPOG and our very own Personal Sense of Destiny.
Just to be invited to the wedding is a tremendous honor and privilege that comes to all of us as a part of us being in union with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mat 11:11 "Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen {anyone} greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."
We have the Church being formed on earth and in Heaven.
The Church on earth is called the body.
The Church in Heaven is called the bride.
On earth, the Church is continuing to grow and is being prepared for the Marriage Feast or the Marriage Supper.
Attending the wedding feast will be not only the Church as the Bride of Christ, but others as well.
The “others” include the Old Testament saints—they will not have been resurrected yet, but their souls and spirits will be in heaven for us and with us.
Joh 13:16-17, "Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master; neither {is} one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.
The carnal believer is helpless and lacks the humility needed to learn to rebound and recover and then use these principles to do so.
The carnal believer makes war with others including "war against God" rather than rebound and recover.
How do children handle pressure and adversity?
Use your eye gate and your ear gate and you will come to the correct answer or conclusion to many of the problems we face.
JON 4:11 "And should I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know {the difference} between their right and left hand, as well as many animals?"
This talks about the individual who cannot and does not follow the Lord because they are mentally challenged.
Not only that, but the Lord tells us that all children will be automatically safe and also saved from eternal damnation.
The prophet Gad said in 2Sa 12:23 that believers can go to heaven to meet all the children but the children cannot come back to us.
Here comes the verse which talks about when an individual reaches the age of accountability which is really not an age but it is the mental capacity or ability that the individual has.
PSA 33:5 He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness or graciousness of the Lord.
PSA 37:28 For the Lord loves justice, And does not forsake His godly or mature ones; They are preserved forever; But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.
PSA 89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Thy throne; Lovingkindness and truth go before Thee.
PSA 97:2 Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; [however], Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
ISA 30:18 Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you waiting to , And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him.
Depending on the age, growth, and maturity of the child, adversity, stress, and circumstances can be all one and the same.
The parents should be the child's FLOT line of the soul (the Forward Line of Troops).
PRO 1:8 Hear, my son, your father's instruction, And do not forsake your mother's teaching;
A godly doctrinal mother will teach her children, not drop them off at prep school known to some of you as Sunday school and say to the teacher - teach them.
The hand represents working and doing things as unto the Lord.
The frontal on the forward represents the proper mental attitude and motivation.
Jos 24:15 "And if it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
One of the most important principles concerning the FLOT line is that you cannot be a FLOT line for the your children when you cannot be a FLOT line for yourself.
The main question that needs to be answered and understood is how did the Jewish children handle all the pressure and adversity?
The parents should be there to prevent the development of stress in the life of a child.
What happens to the children whose FLOT line protection is the parents but the parents are not there to be that protection for them?
COL 3:21 Fathers (parent or parents), do not exasperate your children, that they may not lose heart.
Also including in this form of abuse which happens when the parents are fighting all the time or the parents do things in front of their kids that they should not do.
The child has no FLOT line but only stress from the parents who are suppose to be protecting him or her.
Stress in a child's life is directly proportional to the stability of the parents or parent.
