An appointed thorn in our side

It is another wonderful day in which the LORD God saw fit for us to see; for this is the day that the LORD hath made, we of the Leadership Team of Grace Message Church Ministries will rejoice and be glad in Him; what about you; for we’re talking about being glad in Him, not in the day? Today being the 2018th year and most Christians are quoting even as Paul, the apostle of Yhowshua the Christ revealed what God spoke unto him; which is, God’s grace is sufficient for them. This phrase in which was just quoted, it’s coming out of the 9th verse of the 12th chapter of the Second scroll of Corinthians. In reality, that scripture is saying, as is seen out of the Amplified Version in these words: God’s favor and loving-kindness and mercy, is enough for you, against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully. Please keep in mind that Paul was praying, asking and pleading with the LORD God, in the name of Yhowshua the Christ, to remove the splinter (better known as a thorn) which was delivered unto him ON PURPOSE, just to keep him humble (and no matter how anointed Paul was, nevertheless at first, he did not know the thorn was a purposed move). That splinter (being a messenger of Satan; which does not sound good in anyway) it was given Paul and many others in whom God is revealing heavenly revelation unto) and its employment was and is, just to harass him (and some of us), in which the Word of God describes the harassment as being buffet (which is multiple slapping with the hands by Satan, in a saint of God life, get this, the thorn was delivered to Paul’s life front door, even as it is in ours today). In God answering Paul’s request the Word of God calls prayer, God said, My favor and loving-kindness and mercy is enough for you, against any danger from Satan’s messengers and enables you to bear-which is to stand under the trouble manfully. Wow! In case some missed it, we of the leadership team will use these words, if God has chosen you for a mighty work through Him and it has to do with revelation or ruling, God will use any means necessary to keep your humble; just ask Nebuchadnezzar, as is seen in verses 25-33 of the 4th chapter of the scroll of Daniel. There we’re able to see a heathen king in which the LORD God had used mightily to chastise God’s own people. Yet, that king became lifted up in pride, as is shown in these words after he received his warning in verses 25-28 of the same 4th chapter of the scroll of Daniel. In the which, at the beginning of the 29th verse of that same 4th scroll of Daniel; yes, at the end of the twelve months, Nebuchadnezzar was walking in the royal palace of Babylon (which was a state of confusion, not knowing should he give God the glory or take it for himself). We reiterate, the king of that heathen nation (being lifted up in pride) he said, is not this great Babylon that I have built as the royal residence and seat of government by the might of my power and for the honor and glory of my majesty? God heard him, even as God hears you when you say things so foolish like that!!!! So, while the words were still in Nebuchadnezzar’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven saying, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you and you shall be driven from among men and your dwelling will be with the living creatures of the field. You will be MADE to eat grass like the oxen and seven years shall pass over you (while your kingly position remains unoccupied and waiting) until you have learned and understand that the Most Hight rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomsoever He will (in other words, Nebuchadnezzar worked for the LORD God of Israel) even though he didn’t know the Lord. Nebuchadnezzar’s buffing or harassment began, as is shown in the 33rd verse of the 4th chapter of the scroll of Daniel. Then there’s Simon Peter’s buffing, as is seen in the 3rd verse of the 21st chapter of the scroll of John when he said: I am going fishing. The reason why Simon Peter went back to the place in which the Lord Yhowshua called him out of; he being lifted up in pride earlier, as is seen in these words coming from the Amplified Version, out of the 33rd verse of the 26th chapter of the scroll of Matthew: though they all (in which Peter was elevating his dedication unto the Word of God, above all the rest of the Word of God’s disciples, when he said) though they all are offended and stumble (which is to fall away and commit apostasy, which is distrusting and deserting the manner in which they followed the living active Word of God) because of the pressure WHICH COMES WITH following the true Word of God (as is spoken in verses 20-21 of the 13th chapter of the scroll of Matthew in these words: the person that received the Word of God, into a stony place in their lives, the same is he that understands the Word of God and immediately with joy receives the Word of God; yet hath that person no root of the Word of God in him, but he remains for a while: for when anguish, affliction and persecution arises because of the Word of God, by and by (or immediately) that person is offended, as was Peter at one point (which caused Peter to remain the leaders of the other ten disciples while Yhowshua was in the grave; which caused Peter to lead the ten disciples following his first mission into apostasy; as the other ten said in the 3rd verse of the 21st chapter of the scroll of John: we also go with thee. Notwithstanding, Peter (proudly said earlier in the 33rd verse of the 26th chapter of the scroll of Matthew, as most Christians of today have and do say) I will never distrust, desert, fall away from my dedication to the Word of God, which is to stop doing things the Lord’s way. In turning our attention back to Paul, after Paul prayed thrice concerning his thorn in his flesh, and his answer was, it’s for your own benefit that the thorn is there, for he’s there TO HELP YOU remain humble. In other words, Satan and even Judas Iscariot, they were in Yhowshua’ life AS A HELP, even as the Holy Ghost was in Yhowshua’ life as a help. We heard them too, Lord, so we, of the leadership team already know that some of you have a very big problem with what has just been said concerning Satan, Judas Iscariot and the Holy Ghost BEING A HELP to get Yhowshua to His destiny; well, if you do have a problem with that saying; you need some more grooming in the Word of righteousness; Selah! Now, we’re able to understand why Yhowshua called Judas Iscariot friend in the garden of Gethsemane, when Judas betrayed Yhowshua with a kiss. But, when Peter was trying to prevent Yhowshua from going to the cross and all of the approaching afflictions for the Word of God; Yhowshua looked at Peter and said, get thee behind Me Satan. Here’s the point that is being made here, immature Christians, being infidels first, seeing that thy have an identity crisis, they believe everything which is appointed and allowed by God, for them will be according to their own liking, and that’s not true. Judas Iscariot and Satan were Divinely appointed unto Yhowshua’ heavenly mission, so much is this true, that Yhowshua was sweating drops of sweat, as if they were drops of blood. That does now sound too pleasant to me (but appointed by the Father); for Yhowshua made it clear; when He said, I came not to do My Own will, but the Father’s will, who sent Me; Selah! Even as first Adam had everything he needed before he arrived on the stage, seeing that the serpent was in the garden; and the scripture, being the 19th verse of the 2nd chapter of the scroll of Genesis reveals in these words: AND THE LORD GOD BROUGHT THEM TO ADAM, and one of the THEM, was the serpent. When last Adam came on the scene, the Holy Ghost, as is seen in the 1st verse of the 4th chapter of the scroll of Matthew, He was the one who took Yhowshua to the devil. O NO, we’re not promoting the devil, we’re promoting the 28th verse of the 8th chapter of the scroll of Romans which reads from the Amplified Version: God being a partner in our labor, all things work together AND ARE FITTING INTO A PLAN FOR GOOD and for those who love God and are the CALLED ACCORDING TO GOD’S DESIGN AND PURPOSE. That’s when God’s strength, God’s power is made perfect (fulfilled and completed ONLY] and shows themselves most effective in our weakness. For, we who are mature in the Word of righteousness do understand that, if it hath not been for the LORD, who was and is on our side, when our enemies came upon us, we would have stumbled and fell, never to rise again). Therefore, we saints are more gladly glorying in our weakness and infirmities, that the strength and power of the Holy Ghost may rest, yes, pitch a tent over and dwell upon us; as says the Amplified Version out of that same 9th verse of the 12th chapter of the Second scroll of Corinthians. To sum it all up, when a person quotes that 9th verse of the 12th chapter of the Second scroll of Corinthians over their own life, make sure you understand what’s being said; for you just opened the door of buffing. Here is where we of the leadership team will pick up in our next food for thought, because we are not finished with this lesson. We will speak with you at a later date, that’s if it’s the Lord’s will, until then, sayonara!!!!
